Title: Different memory addressing modes, featuring Golomb coding, dependant on whether data originates from a video decoder or an encoder
Inventor: THOMAS VINAY
IPC: H04N5/926
Filed: 2011-05-19
Abstract: An apparatus comprises an image source 102 to provide image data, logic 104 to apply Golomb compression to the image data, and write logic 106 to write the compressed data into a memory 108 in a manner based in part on whether the image data is from a video decoder 102 or from a video encoder (302, Figure 3). As also claimed, Golomb-compressed image data is stored to memory 108 in flipped (row, column macroblocks reversed or transposed) or unrolled (consecutive, continuous memory addresses) based on whether writing is requested by a video decoder or encoder. An associated system is claimed embodied with a display device and radio interface (Figure 7), using the same Golomb compression and coder dependant writing pattern, and with repeated read requests if data retrieved from memory does not include the requested pixel or image data. By specifying particular (flipped or transposed, consecutive, etc) read and write burst methods, wasted bandwidth can be reduced (Figures 2A, 2B).

Title: Assigning cores to applications based on the number of cores requested by the application
Inventor: SANDSTROM MARK HENRIK
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2011-08-30
Abstract: Applications run on an array of processing cores. The applications request a number of cores on which to execute. The array repeatedly allocates cores to the applications using the number of cores requested. The applications may have a home core and the cores allocated to the application are those closest to its home core. A lookup table, indexed by application identifier, may map the application identifier to the number of cores currently allocated to the application. Another lookup table, indexed by core identifier, may map the core identifier to an application identifier. The application may request a specific number of cores by writing to a register at a known location. The allocation of cores may take into account a quota or a fair share of cores.

Title: Automatic configuration of wireless access between a wireless device and an access point
Inventor: FARROW NICHOLAS WILLIAM
IPC: H04W12/08
Filed: 2011-12-16
Abstract: Wireless access (e.g. Wi-Fi) between a wireless device 116, 118 and an access point 110 is automatically configured by using an application server 102 in a core network 100. The application server 102 arranges wireless setup based on a given telephone number associated with the customer premises 108a-c in which the access point 110 is located. Preferably, a media access control (MAC) address of the wireless device 116, 118 is also received at the application server 102, which forwards the MAC address to the access point 110 for storage in an access list. The wireless setup service gives the owner of the home network the opportunity to grant or deny access to the access point 110 for the wireless device 116, 118. Hence, configuring a wireless device 116, 118 for access to a wireless home network is simplified since the configuration does not require the user to have knowledge of access parameters, such as service set identifier (SSID) and security parameters (e.g. wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key or Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) key) of the network.

IPC: H04W36/24
Filed: 2012-01-16
Abstract: The present invention provides measures for enabling an inter-cell device discovery in device-to-device, D2D, communication. Such measures comprise observing, at a mobile device, UE #2, residing in a cell, eNB #1, representing a serving cell of said device, a device-to-device discovery signal from another device, UE #1, residing in another cell, eNB #2, representing a non-serving cell of said device, and modifying at least one of one or more cell reselection parameters referring to the serving cell of said device and one or more cell selection parameters referring to the non-serving cell of said device on the basis of the observed device-to-device discovery signal. The invention enable that the two devices UE #1 and UE #2 are served by the same base station, e.g. from the radio resource control (RRC) point of view, in terms of setting up a D2D communication link. This may be achieved by way of a modification of cell re-/selection parameters according to the observed D2D discovery signal, thus triggering a Cell Range Expansion (CRE) of the non-serving cell and cell reselection of the device in question.

Title: Paramagnetic gas sensor apparatus and adjustment method
Inventor: GASKIN IAN
IPC: G01N27/74
Filed: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A device for the measurement of the amount of oxygen or other paramagnetic gas in a gas mixture, comprises a suspended test body in a magnetic field that experiences force due to the magnetic susceptibility of the measurand gas. The test body forms a torsion balance and in order to enable a fast time response for the system with a change in oxygen concentration, a flow regime is presented which allows a fast sweep of the measurement volume combined with adjustable, balanced pressure drops via a flow balance element 12 (or elements) within the gas flow channels to independently minimise flow related uncertainties. The flow balance element provides a flow restricting asymmetry in the gas flow pathway. A first asymmetry in the gas flow is determined and in response thereto the flow balance element is provided to create a second asymmetry to counter the first.

Title: Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) estimation for an OFDM signal
Inventor: TANG-RICHARDSON MEL
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2012-04-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the signal to noise ratio of a broadcast Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal is described. Received signals of the data in a guard interval and the corresponding part of the data frame of an OFDM symbol, which were identical when transmitted but which may differ when received due to noise in the channel, are compared. A sum and difference operation is then performed on the data in the compared signals to enable a Signal-to-Noise Ratio to be estimated. Sliding correlation to identify a peak and phase correction are also involved. The OFDM signal may be a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) ensemble. The SNR estimation method described may be performed quickly using only two symbols worth of data and without the receiver having to lock on to the OFDM signal.
