Title: Latch assembly and latchbolt
Inventor: BENTLEY ROGER MERVYN
IPC: E05B63/08
Filed: 2012-02-21
Abstract: The assembly comprises a casing and a latchbolt with a head assembly 2 movable between an extended position when projecting out of the casing and a retracted position when within the casing, the assembly being biased towards the extended position. The assembly is further biased to a first condition allowing it to be cammed from the extended to the retracted position when a first side is subjected to a lateral force in a first direction, but is resistant to being cammed from the extended to the retracted positions when a second side of the assembly is subjected to a second lateral force opposite to the first. The assembly is able to be transformed from the first condition to a second condition, against the bias towards the first condition, to allow it to be cammed to the retracted position when the second side of the assembly is subjected to the second lateral force.

Title: Configuring the contacts of a connector base on signals received by the host.
Inventor: TERLIZZI JEFFREY J
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2012-11-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a method that configures the contacts of a connector. The method includes detecting the mating of a second connector to a host connector and then sending a command over one of the contacts and waiting for a response to the command. If a valid response to the command is received, the system determines the orientation of the second connector, otherwise a command is sent over a different contact and a different orientation is determined. The response also includes configuration information for the contacts in the second connector. The system then configures the contacts of the host connector based on the determined orientation and configuration information of the contacts of the connected connector. The connector may be a symmetrical dual sided plug and the method may be used to determining the orientation of the plug in the socket, so that the contacts in the host device can be placed in the required settings.

Inventor: WRZESNIEWSKI MARIUS
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2013-02-21
Abstract: Disclosed is an input device for controlling a device 5, 10. The input device has a sensor surface, ie a touch screen, 1 sensitive to being touched by a stylus or finger 4, and a processor 2, acting as an evaluation unit, which senses the positions of successively touched points of the sensor surface, converting them into a control command for the device. The evaluation unit is connected to means 7, 8, 9 that estimate accelerations acting on the sensor surface 1. The evaluation unit when generating the control command, uses higher weights for a point touched at a time of intense acceleration, than to a point touched at a time of slight acceleration change. The input device may reconstruct the path of the of the stylus to assign the path a symbol from a list of symbols and output the symbol as the control command. The evaluation unit may define a time of intense acceleration as an off-time, and may ignore non-touching of the surface during off-times.

Title: Method and apparatus for classifying access points in a radio map
Inventor: WIROLA LAURI AARNE JOHANNES
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2013-07-18
Abstract: A radio map consists of lists of positions of base stations and/or access points (AP) in geographic areas which allow mobile devices to determine their position. As the number of APs increases it is desirable to only include the most significant in a radio map. To determine the most significant access points a first plurality of lists of APs is received a first AP which is comprised in a highest number of lists in the plurality of APs is determined. A second plurality of lists, which comprises of lists of APs from the first plurality of lists with those containing the first AP removed, is formed. The receiver then determines a second AP which is in a highest number of lists in the second plurality of lists. A significance flag for the first and second AP is then set and only the significant APs are used to create a radio map.

IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: An active matrix LCD display of the multi-pixel drive (MPD) type, in which a pixelÂ comprises a plurality of sub-pixels (region A, region B) with each sub-pixel of a pixel being associated with a respective storage capacitor address lines (Vcsa, Vcsb) so that the voltage applied across an individual sub-pixel depends on both the signal voltage Vd and the voltage applied to the associated storage capacitor address line, is driven such that the relationship between at least a first one of the capacitor line voltages and a second one of the capacitor line voltages in a first display refresh period of the frame is different to the relationship between the first of the capacitor line voltages and the second of the capacitor line voltages in a second display refresh period of the frame.

Title: Estimation of level-thresholds for memory cells
Inventor: MITTELHOLZER THOMAS
IPC: G11C16/34
Filed: 2013-09-26
Abstract: Methods (figure 4) and apparatus 6 for determining level thresholds for q-level memory cells, or multi level cells (MLC). A plurality of the memory cells are read to obtain respective read signal components (20, figure 4). The read signal components are processed by means of a vector generator 10 in dependence on signal level to produce a signal level vector, comprising a series of elements, indicative of the distribution of read signal components in order of signal level. Signal level binning of the read signal components may also be carried out. The signal level vector is scanned 11 with a sliding window of length greater than the spacing of successive window positions in the scan. At each window position, a metric Mi is calculated in dependence on the elements of the signal level vector in the window. A level-threshold for successive memory cell levels is then determined in a threshold identifier 12, in dependence on the variation of the metric, over the scan. At each window position a reference may be determined based on the average or mean of the elements. The metric may then be calculated from the difference between each element value and the reference value (24 figure 4). The system may comprise phase change memory cells or flash memory cells. The level thresholds are determined from the largest local maxima in the metric variation over the scan (figure 5). The memory cells may be encoded so as to store qary symbols of N-symbol codewords.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2014-03-06
Abstract: Performing queries on stored data in a distributed computing cluster where each node provides a query planner that parses client queries into fragments for distribution among data nodes and obtains intermediate results that are aggregated and returned to clients. The low latency query engine may receive a query request via client, turns the request into collections of plan fragments and coordinate parallel and optimized execution of the plan fragments on remote daemons to generate results at a much faster speed than existing batch-oriented processing frameworks. This may provide a low latency query engine for Apache Hadoop that provides real-time or near real-time, ad hoc query capability, while completing batch-processing of MapReduce. The query engine may comprise a daemon installed on data nodes in a Hadoop cluster for handling query requests and all internal requests related to query execution. The daemon may provide name service and metadata distribution.

IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2012-01-19
Abstract: A pet food product with multiple layers and at least one of the layers includes protrusions that extend into another layer. The protrusions provide a mechanical interlock between layers providing increased resistance to delamination while the pet food product is being masticated.
