Title: Detecting a Fallen Person Using a Range Imaging Device
Inventor: CUDDIHY PAUL EDWARD
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2011-07-21
Abstract: An initial range image corresponding to a field of view (106) of a data acquisition system (DAS) (104), e.g. 3D depth camera, time-of-flight, coded aperture, structured light or triangulation, is generated. A reference plane (110) in the FOV is identified, e.g. identifying a group of pixels oriented as a plane furthest from the DAS or a plane at a distance from the DAS. One or more regions in the initial image indicative of objects disposed above the reference plane are determined, e.g. by masking the objects. The DAS regenerates a range image corresponding to the FOV after a time period, for instance by generating a plurality of grey or colour scale values indicative of relative distance of the objects in the FOV. The regenerated image is compared with the initial image to determine if the former comprises a new object disposed above the reference plane. The new object is determined to be a fallen person (102) if a height of the new object is less than a determined height (114) and a volume and/or a surface area of the new object is greater than a determined value. Output (116), e.g. audio, visual or alert message, is generated upon a positive result.

Inventor: BARRETT STEPHEN
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2011-07-29
Abstract: A communications terminal is provided for communicating data packets to and/or from a mobile communications network. The mobile communications network comprises a plurality of base stations for communicating data packets to or from the communications terminals via a radio access interface, and a core network part which is configured to communicate the data packets to and/or from the base stations of the radio network part. The core network part includes a mobility manager for monitoring a location of the communications terminal. The communications terminal is configured to attach to a first of the base stations of the mobile communications network, to transmit a short message data packet providing context information for communicating the short message data packet to the mobility manager via the first base station, to determine that communication of data packets would be better via a second base station, to attach to the second base station without informing the mobility manager, and to receive a down link data packet from the mobility manager via the second base station. Accordingly a reduced mobility management can be provided to a mobile communications device (such as a machine type communications (MTC) terminal) in which a mobility manager does not maintain a location of the mobile terminal and full handover is not supported allowing more simple forms of communications terminal to be implemented.

Abstract: A system and method for a pre-print, three-dimensional virtual rendering of a print job is disclosed. A plurality of modular/pipelined architectural layers 220-250 are managed, operated, and organized by a controller. A print product definition 210 is provided to a job ticket adaptation layer 220 where it is transformed into a physical model 270. The physical model 270 is then transformed into a display model 280 via the product model layer. The display model 280 is transformed into a scene 290 that can be displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) as a 3D virtual rendering by a rendering layer, where the rendering includes one or more binding elements to satisfy the print product definition. The binding elements may further include 3D binding models as well as 2D textures on 3D surfaces to simulate 3D models. The modularity further enables different product description formats to be supported by only altering the job ticket adaption layer, and that different graphics rendering engines can be supported by altering only the rendering layer. The binding elements and associated metadata define the type of print product binding, which the user may select via the GUI from a group consisting of: spiral binder, comb binder, plastic comb binder, wire comb binder, tape binder, glue binding, stitch, ring binder, paper clips and spring clips.

Filed: 2013-07-01
Abstract: A method of controlling a kinetic energy recovery of a powertrain (100, fig 1), for a hybrid vehicle, having an internal combustion engine (110) and a motor-generator (500). The method comprises step S600 for detecting a deceleration and/or a fuel cut-off, in step S630 an engine intake air actuator (290) of a waste gate valve WG of a turbo charger (230) and/or an exhaust gas actuator (320) of an exhaust gas recirculation valve EGR is opened, and/or in step S650 a switchable water pump WP is switched off. The opening of the WG and/or the EGR depends on an outcome of step S620 in which it is determined if an exhaust gas temperature Texhaust is higher than a first temperature threshold Tthr1. Whether the pump is switched off depends on the outcome of step S640 in which it is determined that a temperature of engine coolant Tcoolant is lower that a second temperature threshold Tthr2. Reference is also made to a controller having a computer program with computer code to carry out the method.
Patent GB-2516087-A (GB)
Title: Virtual Machine Backup
Inventor: NORTH GERAINT
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2013-07-11
Abstract: A system comprises: a processor running a hypervisor for virtual machines (VMs) and multiple threads; a cache, e.g. a write-back cache; and a memory storing VM images for a differential check-pointing failover technique. Cache rows comprise a memory address, a cache line, an image modification flag, and a thread ID. A cache controller sets the modification flag (430) when a cache line is modified (420) by a backed-up VM (425). It also sets the thread ID of the thread corresponding to the backed-up VM and responsible for the modified cache line. Flagged cache lines addresses are written in a log of the memory upon eviction (440) or during periodic checkpoints. Replication of the VM image in another memory can be obtained by fetching the cache lines stored at the logged addresses. Using thread IDs in the logs allows the update of the correct VM memory image.

Title: Shared resource updating method and system
Inventor: XU FENGLIAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2014-02-21
Abstract: Method and system are provided for updating data at a shared resource in a concurrent user environment. A first client application pulls data from a shared resource for update, wherein the data includes a timestamp of a last update. A lock on the data is requested, only allowing updates from the first client for a set period of time. The data is then worked on whether or not a lock is in place for the first client application. When a first client application applies to update the data, a check is carried out to compare the timestamp of the data updated by the first client application with the current timestamp of the data, and if these do not match, the update fails. A second client application may concurrently carry out the same process. The set period of time for a lock may be varied depending on the volume of updates being received from the client applications for a resource. The lock may include a timeout when it expires and releases the data for access by other client applications.

Title: Method for scheduling memory refresh operations including power states
Inventor: BRITTAIN MARK ANDREW
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2012-10-04
Abstract: A method for performing refresh operations on a rank of memory devices is disclosed. After the completion of a memory operation, a determination is made whether or not a refresh backlog count value is less than a predetermined value and the rank of memory devices is being powered down. If the refresh backlog count value is less than the predetermined value and the rank of memory devices is being powered down, an Idle Count threshold value is set to a maximum value such that a refresh operation will be performed after a maximum delay time. If the refresh backlog count value is not less than the predetermined value or the rank of memory devices is not in a powered down state, the Idle Count threshold value is set based on the slope of an Idle Delay Function such that a refresh operation will be performed accordingly.
