Patent GB-2571683-A (GB)
Title: Audio transfer
Inventor: ROBERT DAVID RAND
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: This application relates to transfer of digital audio data between a host device (200) and an accessory apparatus (101) that may be connected to the host device via a suitable connector (106), such as a USB connector. A path selector (240, 270) is operable to establish either a first digital data path (201) or a second digital data path (202) for transfer of digital data. The first digital data path (201) includes a first data bus host (103) and a general purpose digital data interface (131) suitable for bulk data transfer between the first data bus host and the applications processor (110) of the device. This may be a default USB path. The second digital data path (202) includes a second data bus host (230) and at least one pair of second path data interfaces (140, 41). The second data bus host (230) does not form part of the applications processor and each of said second path data interfaces comprises a digital audio interface suitable for streaming of audio data. The path selector selectively establishes the first data path for bulk digital data transfer or the second data path for streaming of audio data where latency is important.
Patent GB-2573070-A (GB)
Title: Managed pressure control system with variable built-in accuracy
Inventor: Walter Dillard
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2017-12-04
Abstract: A drilling choke is controlled in a controlled pressure system. Pressure is monitored, and position of the drilling choke is monitored. An adjustment to the position of the drilling choke is determined based on the monitored pressure to control the drilling pressures. An actuation is produced of an actuator operably coupled to the drilling choke to implement the determined adjustment. Rather than directly transferring, the actuation is transferred with a transfer mechanism to motion of the drilling in a non-linear relationship relative to the position of the drilling choke. Generally, motion of the choke's internal trim (e.g., gate, ball, flapper, disc, etc.) is made quicker when near a fully opened position and is made slower when near a fully closed position. This reduces the need for strict precision for the motion. In the end, the monitored pressure is altered in response to the implemented adjustment of the drilling choke.
