Title: Active mode centre control
Inventor: SAMUEL DAVIES
IPC: H01S5/125
Filed: 2016-09-30
Abstract: A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser has a phase section 502 in a cavity, a DBR section 501, and a detector 509, such as a photodiode. A controller 510 is configured to cause the phase section 502 to apply a dither to the optical path length of the cavity, or cause a frequency tuning system (may be thermal or electronic) of the DBR section 501 to apply a dither to a Bragg frequency; to use the detector 509 to monitor light intensity transmitted from the laser cavity via the DBR section 501, during the dither; determine deviation from longitudinal mode centre operation, based on the monitored intensity; and reduce the deviation by causing the phase section 502 to adjust the optical path length of the cavity, or causing the frequency tuning system to adjust the Bragg frequency. Laser drifts are prevented, reducing risk of mode jumps, and extending laser lifetime.

Title: Mounting apparatus for a vehicle-mounted covering system
Inventor: STEVE HINES
IPC: B60P7/08
Filed: 2016-10-12
Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a covering system to a truck (Fig 1) vehicle with a container (5). The apparatus 30 comprises a linear actuator comprised of a cylinder 62 and piston 64 in which the piston is selectively operable to extend and retract along a substantially linear axis. A telescopic arm 46 is arranged on one side of, and generally parallel with, the linear actuator, the telescopic arm comprising inner and outer elongate members, telescopically arranged, one of which is connected to the piston of the linear actuator by means of a rotatable linkage 66 so that in use the overall length of the telescopic arm can be extended in a direction substantially parallel to the linear axis, between first and second positions, by operation of the linear actuator to move the piston through only part of its stroke. A base member 36 for supporting the vehicle-mounted covering system is also provided which is connected to the linkage 66 so that it may rotate therewith. The telescopic arm comprises a mechanical brake which prevents further extension of the telescopic arm beyond the second position, and in which further extension of the piston is translated by means of the linkage into rotational movement which causes the base member (36, Fig 8) to rotate relative to the telescopic arm.

Title: Organizing electronically stored files using an automatically generated storage hierarchy
Inventor: Nedim Lipka
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-12-22
Abstract: A method to automatically organize directory hierarchies and to label individual directories systematically. Upon a number of files in a first directory exceeding a maximum number of files, a second directory is created. The files formerly disposed only in the first directory are organized into both of the first directory and the second directory so that the threshold number of files is not exceeded in either of the first or second directories. Pairs of files are given a similarity score wherein when at least two similar documents are found in the first directory they are put into the second directory. Organizing the files into the first and second directories uses vector representations of each of the files generated by the system so that, when organized, the first and second directories each include files with similar content. Labels are selected for each of the directories based on a comparison between a vector representation of the collective contents of each directory and vector representations of titles in a database.

Title: Probability based 360 degree video stabilisation
Inventor: PRASHANT SHARMA
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2017-09-14
Abstract: Stabilising 360 degree video by assigning probability values S202 to each pixel of one or more frames of a 360 degree video. The probability is based on the likelihood that the pixel will be included in a field of view when the video is reproduced. This is followed by determining a three-dimensional rotation for stabilising the 360 degree video based on the assigned probability values S203 and outputting the video S204. Preferably the probability values are based on historical viewing data S201. Preferably the probability values are based on: the type of object in which the pixel is included; a depth property; the visual importance of a region; a motion vector associated with the pixel a contour in a saliency map of the frame; or a location of the pixel in relation to one or more sound sources. In another embodiment the probability value of the pixels is determined using a machine learning algorithm. Preferably the machine learning algorithm is trained using historical viewing data.

Title: Coding of alternately transmitted time series
Inventor: DAVID EDWARD COOPER
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2017-09-27
Abstract: A method of encoding HARQ acknowledgements belonging to multiple processes in an LTE system by jointly encoding them using a sequential encoder before transmitting to a receiver, in order to achieve suitable error rates and therefore reducing NACK to ACK errors. Use of sequential encoding can outperform block codes, used in prior art block coding, when the block sizes are small, removing the need for an outer error correcting protocol in order to achieve suitable error rates thus reducing system complexity. The encoding may be performed by a rate 1/n convolutional encoder using a single rate even if the blocks are varying sizes and can be optionally processed by a digital block interleaver.

Title: Data Processing
Inventor: PRADEEP GANESAN NAGARAJAN
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2018-07-23
Abstract: A hierarchical (multi-level) set of address translation tables (page tables) to translate between virtual and physical address spaces uses table definition data (such as a base address of a page table, TTBR, or an address space identifier, ASID, which may be held in registers) providing a pointer to a memory location containing the tables. On a context switch (1400, fig 14), i.e. when the OS switches tasks, such table definition data are overwritten (or updated) to point to the memory location of the page tables of the current task. The page tables may reside in a translation buffer (e.g. Translation lookaside buffer, TLB). A latency or delay during address translation (1320) (e.g. while updating the registers holding the TTBR or ASID) may result in incorrect address translation parameters. To ensure that the address translations are correctly performed, the page table parameter (e.g. register) overwriting step includes, or is accompanied by, test instructions 1300 and 1310 before and after the overwriting. The test instructions may also include a random instruction set (1420, RIS, fig 14).

Title: Processing data in a network
Inventor: ANDREW ROWLANDS
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2019-02-20
Abstract: A method of processing data in a network having a first server 206 and a second server 214 wherein the first server has access to a first data store (database 204) which contains data (e.g. user subscriber data) in a first format. Information about the first format is transmitted to the second server (e.g. Writer Schema, 334, fig 3 - JavaScript Object Notation, JSON, file) which in combination with mapping information generates second information (e.g. Reader Schema). The server 206 fetches 340 the Reader Schema and parses the data using the Reader Schema to generate subscriber data in a second format. The generated subscriber data may be used by the first server 206 in segmenting subscribers according to advertisement targeting criteria as specified at the control panel 212 of the second server. In this way, data privacy of the subscriber data is provided for because the second server does not need access to the actual attribute values stored on the first server. The segmentation information may be updated periodically using a data update package.
