Title: Translating between memory transactions of first type and memory transactions of a second type
Inventor: SWAINE ANDREW BROOKFIELD
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 2014-07-08
Abstract: A bridge transmits memory transactions on a first bus and receives memory transactions on a second bus. Transactions on the first bus specify an address and several attribute flags. Transactions on the second bus specify an address with more bits than transactions on the first bus. A device on the second bus may send a translation request containing the address of a device on the first bus. Address translation circuitry maps the address on the first bus to an address on the second bus. It also maps the attribute flags for the request to bits in the address for the second bus, which are not required to represent an address on the first bus. The device then sends a transaction to the bridge using this address. The bridge creates a transaction on the first bus using the address and attributes.

Title: Bearing calculation
Inventor: Andrew Legothetis
IPC: G01S19/40
Filed: 2015-08-21
Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of determining the orientation of a body using GPS or another satellite or terrestrial positioning system, a location receiver which receives a RF signal is rotated or revolved around a circular path about an axis. A sensor provides an angle of the location receiver about the axis from a known reference point. The location receiver determines its position or the position of an associated antenna, which may be low-pass filtered. Using a cost minimizing function and/or correlation, calculation circuitry produces an output value indicative of an absolute bearing of the known point about the axis, based on a plurality of given angles of the location receiver about the axis from the known point, and a plurality of associated locations of the location receiver indicated by the signal received when the location receiver is at each of the given angles. The tilt of the body may also be determined.
