Title: Generating Infrared Images for Detection by Night Vision Devices
Inventor: STREID HAROLD R
IPC: G09B9/36
Filed: 2012-06-13
Abstract: A video signal is used to generate (e.g. using a projector 270 & 280) a viewable image within the human visible spectrum (the spectrum including one or more of a red (213), green (212) and blue (210) component), and also one or more infrared images. The IR image(s) are outside the human visible spectrum and have a component detectable by a night vision device. In response to the video signal, the red and green components of the spectrum are separately modulated to generate red (244) and green (242) portions of the viewable image. The blue component of the spectrum and the infrared component are collectively modulated to generate a blue portion of the viewable image and the one or more infra red images (240). While the infrared images are detectable by night vision devices, the co-generated blue light portions of the image are difficult to visually detect without the devices, thereby not undermining the realism of the image when used as a night-time simulation.

Title: Elevating roof edge protection system for vans capable of accommodating ladder storage
Inventor: BROWN ALASTAIR T H
IPC: B60P3/40
Filed: 2012-11-05
Abstract: An assembly of components to be attached to a van which, when erected, provide fall protection to persons accessing the roof of the vehicle. The edge protection takes the form of articulated barriers which provide physical separation between the person on the vehicle roof and the edge of the roof, along either all or part of the edges including the ends of the loading platforms. When the edge protection barriers are articulated into position, this articulation may be by physical or mechanically assisted means, operated from ground level. The articulation of the barriers is such that it does not preclude the loading of items such as ladders , timber or other overhanging items on the load area above the vehicle, and nor do such items impinge upon the articulation of or the effectiveness of the guardrails.

Title: A data processing apparatus and method for controlling performance of speculative vector operations
Inventor: REID ALASTAIR DAVID
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2013-10-09
Abstract: A processor executes speculative vector operations on vector operands. It maintains a speculation width, which indicates the number of elements in a vector operand to be used in a speculative vector operation. The speculation width may indicate a first element to process and the number of following sequential elements to process. The processor may reduce the speculation width, if the reduction will improve the processor performance. The performance improvement may be related to throughput or energy consumption and may be determined in response to micro-architectural events. This may include cache or translation look-aside buffer misses. Reducing the width may allow clock or power gating to reduce the power consumption of the processor. The processor may maintain history data to determine whether to reduce the width.
