IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2017-06-07
Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring the positioning of a patient relative to a treatment apparatus that delivers radiation along a radiation path. The monitoring system comprising: a model generation module 58 to generate a model of a surface of the patient; a target model store 62 storing a model of a target surface; a comparison module 64 to determine a transformation required to match the generated patient surface model with the stored target surface model; and an offset determination module 68 that uses the transformation and data indicative of a current position of a treatment apparatus, to determine if a patient has moved out of position in a manner which is likely to be detrimental to the patient. The monitoring system may monitor the position and orientation of the treatment apparatus and determine the current radiation path generated by the treatment apparatus. Offset determination module 68 may determine an offset value between the centroid of the generated model surface and the target surface in a direction normal to an axis corresponding to the current radiation path. Offset determination module 68 may determine an offset value indicating a degree of overlap between a target region and a generated radiation beam.

Title: Method and device for navigating a motor vehicle
Inventor: STEFAN NORDBRUCH
IPC: G08G1/0968
Filed: 2017-11-16
Abstract: A check is performed to determine whether a vehicle is affected by a driving restriction prescribed for a geographical area. If so, a car park outside that area is determined so that the vehicle can be navigated to it. A vehicle may be affected by a restriction if its current position, destination or part of its route is within the restricted area. The check may be initiated manually, or automatically by either the vehicle or a remote server. The vehicle may perform the check based on driving restriction data received from a server. Alternatively, a remote server may run the check based on data, received from the vehicle, relating to the vehicles position, destination or planned route. A parking space in the car park may be reserved, using a car park management server, for a predicted arrival time. An optimal car park may be selected from several available car parks.

Title: Task scheduling in a GPU
Inventor: Simon Nield
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2016-09-23
Abstract: Scheduling tasks in a GPU by having a task scheduling engine that selects a task type by identifying a candidate Data Master identifier 402, based on wakeup event state data, and the contents of a task queue. It then selects one of the Data Master identifiers 404. In the second part 401, the task scheduling engine selects a task of the given type by first identifying the oldest non-executing task of that type 406. It then checks whether or not all of that task’s dependent task have been completed, or met 408. If they have not it clears the wakeup event state data for that task’s task type ID so that it will not be selected again until its dependences are met 412. If its dependencies have been met, then the task is selected for execution and sent to a processing block to be executed. Its state data in the task queue is set to indicate that this has happened 410.
