Abstract: Rope grip apparatus for raising or lowering a load or feeding a rope has a rope-engaging portion with opposing projections or pins 14, 14 arranged to grip a rope 3 by compressing it between the projections as the rope is fed through the apparatus. The pins 14, 14 may be offset such that they displace the rope into a lazy S-shape (fig. 3b). The pins 14, 14 may also extend in parallel with one another and may comprise U-shaped pins arranged around a pulley wheel 20 or a number of other arrangements (figs. 6a-6e). Also disclosed is a rope grip apparatus comprising a rope loading channel 8 with an inlet A and an outlet B, the channel 8 having a cover 9 which covers the channel 8 in a closed configuration, which cover 9 may be a flexible flap. A rope deflector 22 may guide the rope 3 towards the outlet B. The apparatus may include a ratchet (12, 13 fig. 4), a self locking clutch (24 fig. 8), a gear reduction mechanism (5 fig. 3b), a drive mechanism (4 fig. 3b) and an integral power source or handle (4a fig 3a).

Title: Processing pipeline with first and second processing modes having different performance or energy consumption characteristics
Inventor: MAX JOHN BATLEY
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2015-06-05
Abstract: An apparatus has a processing pipeline 4 supporting first and second processing modes with different energy consumption or performance characteristics. A storage structure (22, 30, 36, 50, 40, 64, 44 Fig. 1) is accessible in both processing modes. When the second processing mode is selected, control circuitry triggers a subset of the entries of the storage structure to be placed in a power saving state. The first processing mode may have greater maximum throughput of instructions than the second processing mode. On switching from first to second processing mode, control circuitry may disable further allocation of information to the subset of entries, and prevent the pipeline accessing information in the subset. The control circuitry may place a subset of entries in the power saving state in response to an indication that the pipeline no longer requires the subset. The pipeline may support out-of-order execution in both first and second processing modes, and the storage structure may comprise a reorder buffer to store information for tracking completion of instruction-execution.

Title: A verification module for verifying accuracy of a controller
Inventor: PAUL DARNELL
IPC: G05B13/00
Filed: 2015-09-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a verification module 118 for verifying accuracy of a controller 116. The controller is arranged to generate a demand based on a first input 112 and a second input 114. The verification module comprises; a calculation module 120 arranged to calculate an expected demand based on the first input; a correction module 122 arranged to calculate an error between the demand and the expected demand 124 and modify the expected demand to reduce the error 125; and a limiter 136 arranged to limit the demand in response to the error being greater than a threshold. The invention is a way of verifying the controller in a drive-by-wire system or an electronic throttle controller. The above invention allows for the verification module to be made and updated more easily as there is no need for specific detailed knowledge of the controllers response to the second input. The first and second inputs can be based on the accelerator pedal position and the driver mode selector. The demands can be related to the torque demanded by a vehicles driver.
