Title: Controlling apparatus for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals
Inventor: CAIN LAWRENCE
IPC: H04B15/00
Filed: 2013-07-04
Abstract: This application discloses a vehicle with co-located multiple transceivers (40-56, Fig. 3) which operate in respective frequency bands. In a preferred embodiment the vehicle is an unmanned air vehicle (UAV), i.e. a drone. A communications management module 36 located on the vehicle acts to reduce cosite interference between the transceivers, based on a first frequency or/and a first waveform of a first radio signal transmitted by a first transceiver. In a preferred embodiment a first transmission from the first transceiver is separated in time from a second transmission from a second transceiver. This seems to amount to time division multiplexing (TDM). Other solutions claimed include reducing receiver sensitivity, reducing transmit power, steering an antenna and antenna selection.

Title: An apparatus, a method and a computer program for video coding and decoding
Inventor: LAINEMA JANI
IPC: H04N19/132
Filed: 2013-10-25
Abstract: Blocks of samples in a picture are coded / decoded using prediction, e.g. Intra Block Copy. Areas within the block may be unwanted (gray in fig. 8) in the prediction. Indication that samples within a block are unwanted and are to be masked is obtained and the location of those samples is indicated. A sample value may be generated to substitute the masked area samples. The final prediction is therefore nearer to the block to be predicted, avoiding the coding / decoding of a residual. The indication may be a one bin identifier encoded with an entropy coder, such as a (CABAC). The location indication may comprise which border of the block the masked area resides and how many samples the area extends from the border (see fig. 10). The substitution sample values may be obtained from a single sample within a prediction block, from copying the value of a sample closest to the centre of the prediction block, from intra block copy process copying a preceding block region of the picture, from a motion compensation process, or from a spatial intra prediction with different parameters than for the rest of the block or a motion compensated prediction.

Title: Data processing apparatus for executing an access instruction for N threads
Inventor: MANSELL DAVID HENNAH
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2014-03-13
Abstract: A data processing apparatus 10 for executing an access instruction for n threads in order to access data values for the n threads includes storage circuitry 100 that stores data values associated with the n threads in groups defined by storage boundaries (e.g. cache lines). The data processing apparatus also includes processing circuitry 80 that processes the access instruction for a set of threads at a time (where each set of threads comprises fewer than n threads) and splitting circuitry 110, responsive to the access instruction, to divide the n threads into multiple sets of threads, and to generate at least one control signal identifying the multiple sets. For each of the sets, the processing circuitry responds to the at least one control signal by issuing at least one access request to the storage circuitry in order to access the data values for that set. The splitting circuitry determines into which set each of the n threads is allocated having regards to the storage boundaries. Splitting may be configured in order to seek to reduce a total number of access instructions. The split point may be predicted with reference to a predefined bit of an address provide for a subset of n threads.

Title: Transparent lossless audio watermarking enhancement
Inventor: MALCOLM LAW
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 2015-12-23
Abstract: An audio signal 104 is watermarked losslessly by performing a noise-shaped quantisation which buries watermark data indicating the Least Significant Bit (LSB) and then clipping the output from the noise-shaped quantisation to bounds computed by a pair of quantised linear functions 151 & 152 with gradient 0.5 of the input to the noise-shaped quantisation. This ensures that the largest two values of signal 104, eg. at LΔ and (L-2)Δ, map to the largest possible value of output signal (105, fig. 2). An inspector (134) transmits the LSB whenever clipping may generate the same output for two points (eg. for (L-9)Δ and (L-8)Δ) in order to resolve ambiguities.
