Title: Network device modelling of configuration commands to predict the effect of the commands on the device.
Inventor: GRAHAM TREVOR
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2011-12-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system of network device configuration management. The method starts by receiving a set of user commands for the configuration of a network device. Then a syntactic model of the network device configuration interface is retrieved, and is used to generate a configuration model of the current configuration of the device. The model is used to predict the effect of the user commands on the modelled configuration to generate a predicted configuration. Next, rules for a user and/or network device are applied to the model to determine if the commands are permitted based on the modelled configuration of the device. The syntactic model may be a combination of code and metadata that allows the configuration of the network to be expressed in a format that can be rendered for viewing and manipulation.

Title: Determining correlation between first and second received signals to estimate delay while a disturbance condition is present on the second signal
Inventor: SORENSEN KARSTEN VANDBORG
IPC: H04B7/015
Filed: 2012-03-05
Abstract: Estimating a delay at a device between a first signal, e.g. received over a network S502, and a second signal, e.g. including echo components originating from the first signal output from the device S504. Based on determined correlation values between the received first signal and the received second signal S508, one of a plurality of candidate delays is selected to be used as an estimate of the delay S510. While it is determined that a disturbance condition is present on the received second signal S506 (such as speech signals or noise received at the input of the device, or clipping of the received second signal due to overloading of components of the device), for each of the candidate delays an artificial second signal is determined such that a correlation value for the candidate delay between the received first signal and the artificial second signal is kept constant at a value based on a determined correlation value for the candidate delay between the received first signal and the received second signal prior to determining that the disturbance condition is present S516. While the disturbance condition is present, artificial second signals are used in order to select a candidate delay to be used as the estimate of the delay between the received first signal and the received second signal S518.

Title: Determining an Optimum Partitioning Pattern to Divide Texture Data Elements in a Block of Elements Into Separate Partitions
Inventor: NYSTAD JORN
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2012-05-04
Abstract: A partitioning pattern generation function generates one or more partitioning patterns to be used to divide texture elements of a block of elements into separate partitions (10, 11 & 12) in a computer graphics system. The encoding of the block is tested using one or more of the generated patterns, and a partitioning pattern is selected for use on the basis of the testing. The partition 2 may then be encoded in a compressed form as an encoded texture data block 13. The partitioning pattern generation function may sort the texture data elements of the block into respective partitions based on their respective positions within the block. To do this the partitioning pattern generation function may generate a series of sawtooth waves at various angles, phases and frequencies across the block of texture data elements to be encoded. A partitioning pattern generation function is also used to determine the partition that a texture data elements belongs to when decoding an encoded texture data block.

Title: Load carrying trucks
Inventor: MCVICAR MARTIN
IPC: B62D7/14
Filed: 2013-02-18
Abstract: A load-carrying truck has a fork lift mechanism mounted on a chassis, a pair of front wheels 24, 26 and a single rear wheel 30. At least one front wheel 26 and the rear wheel 30 are driven wheels whose speed is varied relative to one another differently depending on whether the truck is being driven in a first forward reverse mode or a sideways mode. In the first mode, steering is provided via the rear wheel 30. In the sideways mode, steering is controlled by steering the at least one of the front wheels 26. In the first mode, when the truck is steered towards the side of the driven front wheel 26, the relative speed of that wheel is decreased progressively and comes to a stop when the axis of rotation of the rear wheel (52 see fig 4D) intersects the front wheel position, and is driven in reverse at increasing speeds as the axis (52) passes that point of intersection with further increasing steering angle. In the sideways mode of operation when the truck is steered in the direction towards the rear end of the chassis, the relative speed of the rear wheel is decreased progressively and comes to a stop when the axis of rotation (54 see fig 5C) of the steered front wheel intersects the rear wheel position, and the rear wheel is driven in reverse at increasing speeds as the axis (54) passes the point of intersection with further increasing steering angle. The invention is aimed at providing consistent traction.

IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2011-07-29
Abstract: Systems and methods for reliably communicating data between surface and downhole equipment over a power cable, regardless of the length of the power cable, wherein a transmitter modulates a common data stream onto multiple high frequency carrier signals, each of which has a different frequency. Each of the different frequencies is best suited to communication over a different length of cable. The resulting modulated high frequency data signals are impressed on the power cable and are recovered from the cable by a receiver. The receiver is configured to recover signals at each of the different carrier frequencies, at least one of which should be transmitted with little enough attenuation and interference that the data stream can be accurately recovered from the corresponding modulated high frequency data signal.
