Title: Pseudo-CT image generation
Inventor: KEVIN BROWN
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2019-08-30
Abstract: A method for producing a calibrated pseudo-CT image of at least part of a patient for radiation treatment planning. The method comprises obtaining radiation intensity data 230 indicative of attenuation properties of tissues within the patient and calibrating a first pseudo-CT image of at least part of the patient using the radiation intensity data to produce the calibrated pseudo-CT image 240. The first pseudo-CT image may be based on magnetic resonance (MR) data 220 and may comprise a plurality of voxels associated with a pseudo-CT value. A radiotherapy treatment plan may be devised based on the first pseudo-CT image and a radiation dose to the body may be delivered (Fig. 6, 630). The plan may be updated according to an iterative process wherein further radiation intensity and MR data are obtained (Fig. 6, 640) and the pseudo-CT image is refined based on the new data (Fig. 6, 650). An associated system for producing the calibrated pseudo-CT images is also disclosed.

Title: Apparatus and method for determining brake torque
Inventor: GEORGIOS TSAMPARDOUKAS
IPC: B60T13/58
Filed: 2019-10-18
Abstract: A controller 110 (e.g. brake proportion controller) determines brake torque proportions for a vehicle having braking via: foundation (friction) brakes 212, 222, 232, 242; and electric machines 214, 224, 234, 244 (e.g. regenerative braking). The controller receives a braking request signal (145) and a signal indicating a torque capacity limit for electric machine braking and/or foundation braking. A processor (120) determines a first proportion of electric machine braking to foundation braking to fulfil the braking request in dependence on the torque capacity limit. A braking proportion signal (155), indicative of the determined first proportion, is output to cause a braking system of the vehicle to fulfil the braking request according to the determined first proportion of electric machine braking to foundation braking. In another embodiment, the controller further receives a signal, indicative of activation of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and/or a signal indicative of a stability system of the vehicle. The processor determines first and second proportions of electric machine braking to foundation braking to fulfil the braking request in dependence on the torque capacity limit, wherein: the first proportion is determined in the absence of activation of the ABS and/or stability systems; and the second proportion is determined in the presence of activation of the ABS and/or stability systems.

Distances from the fixture to the three discrete locations are estimated based on perspective inversion. Spherical coordinates of the fixture's orientation relative to the reference surface are determined, and yaw, pitch, and roll of the fixture can be extracted. Alternatively, the position of the lighting fixture is tri-lateralized based on distances between reference points 306 and a user device 106A-106D, along with scan data from a camera 110.

Title: Keyboard sensor systems and methods
Inventor: JAMES HASTINGS CLARK
IPC: G10H1/34
Filed: 2018-08-07
Abstract: A method of periodically compensating a response of a keyboard, the keyboard comprising keys each with a sensor comprising an active resonant circuit, a passive tuned resonant circuit and a detector. The method comprises: retrieving from storage a detected initial output signal of the sensor, Ot0, at a first time, t0, wherein at t0 the active resonant circuit is being driven at a frequency below a resonant frequency of said active resonant circuit. Periodically, for at least one of the sensors in the keyboard: a later output signal of the sensor, Ot1, is detected at a time after t0. An adjustment value is calculated, where the adjustment value is a difference between the initial output signal of the sensor and the later output signal of the sensor. The response of the keyboard is compensated by adjusting an operational output of the sensors using the adjustment value, where the operational output is an output from the sensor when the active resonant circuit is being driven at the resonant frequency of the active resonant circuit. The sensor may be operated according to a time division multiplexed addressing scheme, using a time slot in which the sensor is not operational for the detecting.

IPC: G06F12/109
Filed: 2021-05-10
Abstract: Apparatus and method for handling request transfers from a peripheral device. A host device of the apparatus provides a plurality of virtual machines that each execute processes. The peripheral device performs tasks for the processes and is coupled to the host device via a communication network. The peripheral device provides virtual peripheral devices, each allocated to one of the virtual machines. Address translation circuitry associated with the host device performs a two stage address translation process to translate a virtual address into a corresponding physical address. When seeking to access memory via the host device, the peripheral device issues a request transfer with a specified address and metadata providing a source identifier field, a first address translation control field and a second address translation control field. The source identifier field controls routing of an associated response transfer over the communication network. The first address translation control field controls any first stage address translation required for the specified address when it is a virtual address, the translation being dependent on the process associated with the specified address. The second address translation control field controls any second stage address translation required, in dependence on the virtual machine associated with the specified address.
