Title: Dynamically generating custom sets of application settings
Inventor: MALHAR GUPTA
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: A method for generating customised layouts for an application settings interface at a computing device 110 includes determining a relevancy score for each of a plurality of settings categories which is indicative of a probability that a user will select the corresponding category. The relevancy scores are based at least in part on a respective amount of usage of each settings category, and a display position for each category within an application settings graphical user interface 114 is determined from the scores. A graphical representation 152,154,156,158 of at least one category at the respective display position is included in the GUI and output for display at the computing device. A default GUI that includes the settings categories in a default arrangement may be output for display if the settings interface has not been recently used. The default arrangement may be based on an amount of usage of each category for similar users. The relevancy scores may additionally be based on a usage amount of a feature of the application associated with the corresponding category. As a result of this invention, an application can predict which settings categories are most likely to be selected so that they can be displayed at prominent positions.

Title: Inertial sensor and method of inertial sensing with tuneable mode coupling strength
Inventor: XIN ZHOU
IPC: G01P21/00
Filed: 2018-09-18
Abstract: An inertial sensor, such as an accelerometer or gyroscope, comprises a resonator assembly comprising first and second resonators 1 and 2 coupled to one another by a mechanical coupling 6 where energy is transferred dependent on the value of an input measurand. Alternatively the sensor could be an axisymmetric resonator where coriolis force affects the amount of energy transferred between first and second resonances. A drive means coupled to the resonator assembly drives the first and second resonators to vibrate at first and second frequencies. A pumping signal having a frequency substantially equal to a difference between the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency is applied to the resonator assembly to adjust mode coupling strength and a ratio of the amplitudes of oscillation of the first and second resonators detected by a sensor assembly. An output of the inertial sensor is based on the amplitude ratio. The resonators may be double ended tuning fork resonators.

Title: Generating a psuedorandom number sequence
Inventor: ADAM DUNKLEY
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2018-11-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus to generate a pseudorandom number sequence (PNS). A PNS, 7a, and a seed number, 8a, are obtained and at least two sequence numbers are generated, 5, based upon the seed number. The generated sequence numbers are appended to the PNS, 6. The seed number is modified, 7, by an algorithm such that the seed number is different for a subsequent iteration and also different to the generated sequence numbers. The seed number may be used to create a plurality of generating numbers (GN), one of which is selected. The selected GN may be used to obtain at least two sequence generating numbers (SGN) which are used to generate the numbers to be appended to the sequence. The SGNs should give the same result to a trigonometric function as the GN derived from the seed. The initial seed number may be obtained from a cryptographic key. The advantage of the invention is that there is a reduction in the number of data points that may be used to identify the seed modification algorithm and hence an improvement in algorithm secrecy. Furthermore, the seed is hidden, i.e. it is not used in the sequence.

Title: Temperature management of an aftertreatment system during compression braking
Inventor: WADE J ROBEL
IPC: F02M26/15
Filed: 2020-07-29
Abstract: A system, comprising an engine 102 having intake 112 and exhaust 118 passageways, an aftertreatment system 122 located on the exhaust passageway, a gas recirculation passageway 110 that provides a fluid connection between the exhaust passageway and the intake passageway, upstream of the aftertreatment system. A controller 126 identifies whether the engine is performing a compression braking procedure, identifies whether the aftertreatment system is performing an operation that is temperature-dependent and causes, based on whether the engine is performing the compression braking procedure and whether the aftertreatment system is performing the operation, a gas recirculation through the engine via the gas recirculation passageway. The operation that is temperature-dependent may be a selective catalytic reduction operation. The controller preferably identifies whether a mass flow of gas to the aftertreatment system is above a threshold value, and the gas recirculation is based on whether the aftertreatment system is performing the operation and whether the mass flow of the gas is above the threshold value. The controller may determine if a temperature of gas is below a threshold value, causing the gas recirculation is based on this and whether the aftertreatment system is performing the operation. A method of operation is also claimed.
