Title: Method for encoding and decoding structured data using an associated schema
Inventor: RUELLAN HERVA
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2011-05-13
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for encoding and decoding structured data (e.g. XML to EXI (Efficient XML Interchange)), using an associated schema. The encoding method comprises: - obtaining S105 a transformed schema ST by applying a first transformation T1 (e.g. based on efficiency criteria) to the associated schema S, the transformed schema defining a modified structure model, - obtaining S110, from the first transformation T1, a second transformation T2 (e.g. XSLT stylesheet) which defines modifications to apply to structured data D conforming to the associated schema S to obtain transformed structured data DT conforming to the transformed schema ST; - applying S125 the obtained second transformation T2 to structured data D to be encoded, so as to obtain transformed structured data DT; and - encoding S130 the transformed structured data DT using the obtained transformed schema ST. The invention transforms data to encode into a representation that is more suitable for efficient encoding than the original representation. It results in encoding cost savings.

Title: Packoff with internal lockdown mechanism
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID A
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 2011-08-16
Abstract: A packoff 18 seals between a wellhead housing 12 and a casing hanger 16 in a surface wellhead assembly 10. The packoff 18 has an internal, threaded ratchet ring 44 with teeth 46 which engage teeth 64 of a threaded profile 64 on the exterior of the casing hanger 16. Installation of the packoff 18 is achieved by stabbing the packoff 18 over the protruding neck of the casing hanger 16 and effecting a quarter turn - reducing the rotation required during installation and decreasing potential for damage to seals22,24,36,38. During installation, an inwardly biased external lock ring 68 located in a recess 69 in the casing hanger 16 is forced outward by the packoff 18 and into a recess 49 formed in the interior of the wellhead housing 12. The lock ring 68 and the ratchet ring 44 lock the packoff 18 and casing hanger 16 into place within the wellhead housing 12 without the need for external lockdown screws, thereby minimizing leak paths.

Title: Bluetooth protocol suite host processor generates dummy payloads and Bluetooth controller layers replaces them with data from a further processor
Inventor: SINGER STEVEN
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2011-10-11
Abstract: An upper layer of a Bluetooth protocol stack (eg. L2CAP) located on a host processor 401 generates packets whose payloads hold dummy data/are zero length.These are transmitted over the HCI (host controller interface) 405 to a Bluetooth controller 404 implementing lower stack layers and running on another processor. The lower layers look for the dummy payloads and replace them with data sent directly from a further processor (eg. DSP 406). The invention avoids routing DSP data via the host processor. The DSP and Bluetooth controller may be implemented as a single processor. The host processor may send dummy packets in bursts, whilst the Bluetooth controller uses them according to the DSP data rate.

Title: Vehicle controller verifies that engine torque corresponds to demanded torque, by measuring the rate of acceleration of the vehicle
Inventor: RAFTRY ANDREW
IPC: B60W10/06
Filed: 2012-07-11
Abstract: A vehicle, e.g. a hybrid vehicle which may operate in parallel mode or electric mode, comprises a controller 140 which monitors a position of an accelerator pedal 162. The accelerator pedal 162 outputs, via a cruise control system, a signal used by the controller 140 to control at least one prime mover, e.g. combustion engine 121and motor/generator 123, to develop an amount of torque to drive the vehicle. An accelerometer measures a rate of acceleration of the vehicle and the controller 140 determines whether the measured rate of acceleration of the vehicle corresponds to that expected for the position of the accelerator pedal 162. If the measured rate of acceleration corresponds to a higher rate of acceleration the vehicle is arranged to reduce the amount of drive torque applied to one or more wheels of the vehicle. In some arrangements the vehicle is arranged to terminate the supply of torque to the wheels.
