Title: Context configuration
Inventor: ROGERS MURRAY WILLIAM
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-01-31
Abstract: A media gateway comprises a set of digital signal processors, each having one or more digital signal processor cores. The cores implement digital signal processor channels that are grouped into digital signal processor contexts 510, 515. When a request to configure a call control context is received, a set of digital signal processor contexts is assigned to process data streams associated with the call control context. In particular, a first digital signal processor context 510 is coupled to at least a second digital signal processor context 515 using at least one digital signal processor channel 540, 545 in each of the first and second digital signal processor contexts. Hence, this configuration 500 can be used to manage a call control context when the number of terminations is greater than a limiting factor of the DSP context.

Title: Rotary pulser and method for transmitting information to the surface from a drill string down hole in a well
Inventor: BURGESS DANIEL E
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2013-03-22
Abstract: A rotary pulser for transmitting information to the surface from down hole in a well by generating pressure pulses encoded to contain information. The pulser includes a rotor having blades that are capable of imparting a varying obstruction to the flow of drilling fluid through stator passages, depending on the circumferential orientation of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor by a motor generates the encoded pressure pulses. A spring biases the rotor toward the stator so as to reduce the axial gap between the rotor and stator. When the pressure drop across the rotor becomes excessive, such as when increasing drilling fluid flow rate or switching from a high data rate to a low data rate transmission mode, the spring bias is overcome so as to increase the axial gap and reduce the pressure drop across the rotor, thereby automatically reducing the thrust load on the bearings.

Title: System error handling in a data processing apparatus
Inventor: SIMON JOHN CRASKE
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: Apparatus for data processing and a method of data processing where data processing operations are performed in response to data processing instructions. An error exception condition is set if a data processing operation has not been successful. It is determined if an error memory barrier condition exists 40 and an error memory barrier procedure is performed in dependence on whether the error memory barrier condition exists. The error memory barrier procedure comprises, if the error exception condition is set 44 and if an error mask condition is set 46, setting a deferred error exception condition 50 and clearing the error exception condition 52. The system recognises when a system error is reported to processing circuitry that is already performing an exception handing procedure triggered by a previous exception and using an error mask condition enables the processing circuitry to prioritize its response to the error and allows the system to distinguish the source resulting in the system error occurrence.

Title: Method of controlling a fuel injector
Inventor: PETER BAUR
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 2016-07-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling a fuel injector. A fuel injector includes a valve having an electrically operated actuator, such as a solenoid actuator or piezo-electric actuator, which is used to move a valve needle. The needle is moved away from a valve seat on application of an activation signal so as to open the valve to dispense fuel. The activation signal has a profile which includes at least one actuation pulse which moves and/or holds the needle in a valve open position and at least one subsequent braking pulse adapted to slow the needle on subsequent closing of the valve. The method comprises the steps of detecting whether a valve re-opening event occurs during an operational cycle of the valve and changing an inter-pulse delay between the end of the activation pulse and the start of the braking pulse for subsequent operational cycles if a re-opening event occurs. A re-opening event is determined by integrating the current or voltage signal across the actuator over a time window and determining if re-opening has occurred if the integrated signal is at or below a threshold value. The method prevents unwanted re-opening of a valve during valve closure which arise from pressure fluctuations in the fuel supplied to the injector whilst providing controlled deceleration of the needle during closure of the valve to prevent noise and minimise wear of the valve.
