Patent GB-2516936-A (GB)
Title: Loudspeaker driver
Inventor: HEDGES MICHAEL JASON DAVID
IPC: H04R9/06
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: The driver has an electro-mechanical transducer 205 for converting at least part of an electrical input signal into an output comprising mechanical oscillations. Coupling means 206 couple these oscillations to a displacement member, such as a rigid diaphragm, for converting the oscillations into sound waves. The coupling means 106, 206 acts as a mechanical low-pass filter to absorb energy from frequency components of oscillations of the transducer above a normal operating band for the displacement member so as to prevent said energy from being transmitted to the displacement member. The mechanical filter may replace or augment an electrical crossover for the loudspeaker, and may be incorporated into a build ring which also acts as the coupling means.

Title: A controller for an electric machine
Inventor: RICHARD BURKE
IPC: H02P3/22
Filed: 2015-07-23
Abstract: A controller 400 for placing an electric motor in a non-operative, or disabled, condition places an inverter 410 in: a first configuration if a rotor of the motor is rotating above, or equal to, a predetermined velocity (e.g. a predetermined angular velocity); and in a second configuration if the rotor is rotating below the predetermined velocity. The first configuration allows coil windings 60 of the motor to be short-circuited and re-directed back to the motor, while the second configuration allows voltage generated by the motor to be connected across a voltage source, e.g. battery, in an open circuit configuration. The predetermined velocity may be equal to, or less than, a velocity that results in the motor generating a back emf that is equal to, or less than, the voltage source. The inverter 410 is switched from the first configuration to the second configuration when the rotor velocity drops from above the predetermined velocity to below the predetermined velocity. The inverter 410 includes a plurality of switches, each switch having a reverse diode, wherein the plurality of switches and associated reverse diodes place the motor in an open circuit configuration by coupling a plurality of coil windings across the voltage source.

Title: Purging system for a laser resonator
Inventor: GARETH THOMAS MAKER
IPC: H01S3/02
Filed: 2015-08-21
Abstract: A purging system 1 for a laser system 2 comprises a cartridge 4 that houses a desiccant material 9 and which is configured for removable mounting with an enclosure of the laser resonator. The cartridge 4 comprising a first mesh layer 8 that provides a means for a fluid to flow to the desiccant material 9 housed within the cartridge 4. The purging system 1 further comprises a membrane 10 located over the first mesh layer 8. The purging system therefore provides a mean for passively purging the laser resonator and so its operation does not require the employment of a pump. The employment of the removable cartridge 4 also has the advantage that the downtimes of the laser system with which it is deployed are reduced during periods when it is required to dry or replace the desiccant material.

Inventor: SHUICHIRO MATSUSHIMA
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprising a certification means configured to certificate, verify or authorise S709 a mounted battery, and a control means configured such that, if a first processing is started before certification processing by the certification means is completed, the first processing S707 is stopped S715 if the certification completes and is not successful (indicating the battery is not genuine) S710; and if a second processing is started before the certification processing is completed, the second processing continues, even if the battery certification fails. In an embodiment, the device is a camera, and certain first processes, including moving image or video recording S707 are stopped S715 if the battery verification fails indicating the battery may be counterfeit. Second processes such as still image capture are allowed to continue even if the battery certification fails. This allows processes to begin before certification has completed and prevents missed photo opportunities. A confirmation screen may warn the user that certification of the battery has failed and give the option for them to turn off the device. Corresponding method claims are included.

Patent GB-2541974-A (GB)
Title: Event queue management
Inventor: FABRICE JEAN VERPLANKEN
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: A queue storage 18 stores a queue of event entries corresponding to notification of events from a source to a destination, for example event entries from a hardware event detector (10 in figure 1) that are to be communicated to a software event handler (17 in figure 1). A comparator 22 compares a received event entry with at least one previously received event entry to detect a match, and if a match is detected an event entry merging unit 28 merges the received event entry with the previously received one. The comparison between the event entries may take place in an event register 20 that stores unqueued events yet to be added to the queue storage 18, and the merging may comprise setting a merged entry bit and discarding the newly received event entry. If the queue storage 18 is empty, then the event register 20 and the comparator 22 can be bypassed, so that any currently unqueued event within the event register 20 is be stored into the queue storage 18. The event entries may be translation error event entries in a system which translates between virtual addresses and physical addresses.
