Title: Switch mode power supply current sensing
Inventor: COULSON DAVID ROBERT
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 2006-03-14
Abstract: A current sensing system for a switch mode power supply (SMPS) comprises a flux model system that generates a waveform representing flux in a magnetic energy store such as transformer 104 of the SMPS and an output current modelling system that generates an output current signal in response. The flux waveform may be generated by sensing a current in a primary side of the magnetic energy store and generating a first part of the waveform when a power switch timing signal indicates that power switch 106 is switched on to the primary side and generating a second part of the waveform when power switch 106 is turned off. The rate of change of the generated waveform parts may be determined by respective portions of the current sense signal, according to whether the switch 106 is either on or off. The out put current model system may average the flux waveform when it represents decreasing flux. The magnetic flux waveform may be gated through a low pass filter when flux is decreasing, which may be indicated by a secondary current flow timing signal.

Title: Data processing for managing access to a display buffer
Inventor: HARRIS PETER WILLIAM
IPC: G06F21/79
Filed: 2007-01-03
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and method are provided for managing access to a display buffer. The data processing apparatus has a display buffer for storing an array of display elements for subsequent output to a display controller, with each display element having a security permission indication associated therewith identifying whether that display element is a secure display element or a non-secure display element. At least one processing unit is provided for executing a non-secure process and a secure process, each process issuing access requests when seeking to access display elements in the display buffer, and each access request specifying a location in the display buffer. Interface logic is associated with the display buffer for receiving each access request and is arranged for at least each access request issued by the non-secure process to determine the security permission indication associated with the display element currently stored at the location specified by that access request. Based on the security permission indication, the interface logic then determines how that access request should be processed. Accordingly, the interface logic can selectively prevent access to secure display elements by the non-secure process, so as to protect the security of secure display elements contained within the display buffer.

Title: Efficient data transmission by data aggregation
Inventor: KUSKIN JEFFREY
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-06-24
Abstract: To efficiently transmit data on a wireless network, small packets that might otherwise be sent individually are aggregated into a "superframe". This superframe can then be transmitted as a single, larger packet. To form this superframe, a plurality of tagged data packets can be aggregated into a packed aggregation block (PAB). Encapsulation data, e.g. protocol information, can be appended to the PAB. Wireless transmission information can bound the PAB and encapsulation data. Forming the superframe can be performed using an efficient combination of hardware and software. In one embodiment, aggregation of the tagged data packets can be performed by hardware without regard to the underlying protocol(s). Software can then provide protocol-handling support.

Title: Planetary drive system
Inventor: LOWES DAVID
IPC: A47J43/06
Filed: 2007-10-08
Abstract: A multi-speed planetary drive system 56, in which a driving head unit can be rotated about a first axis 58 by way of a primary drive shaft wherein the head unit supports first and second drive outlets 59a, 59b, each capable of receiving and driving in rotation, relative to the head unit, a respective tool shaft. The first and second drive outlets are driven by the system at different speeds and about respective axes inclined to one another. Accordingly, different tools can be driven at different speeds and the angles at which the respective tools are presented to a working bowl can differ to be optimised for their respective tasks. The drive system may be installed on a kitchen stand mixer and the slower-driven tool shaft is disposed substantially parallel to the aforementioned first axis. By this means, a tool such as a dough hook can be operated at a relatively low speed and in an optimal orientation. It is further preferred that the faster-driven tool shaft is inclined to the first axis at an angle of between 5 and 30 degrees so that a tool such as a whisk can be operated at relatively high speed and presented at an angle designed to optimise the entrapment of air into the substance being whisked.
