Title: Verifying state integrity in state retention circuits
Inventor: FLYNN DAVID WALTER
IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 2012-03-26
Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises a plurality of state retention circuits such as scan flip-flops 12, 14, 16 and logic circuitry 18, 20 arranged in a scan chain. The state retention circuits are configured to hold their respective state values when the apparatus enters a low power mode. To check that the states are retained in the low power mode, a parity chain of several XOR gates 26, 28, 30 is formed, each XOR gate having as an input the output Q from a respective state retention circuit. An output parity value SCP generated at the output of the parity path will invert if one of said respective state values changes, providing an external indication of the integrity of the state values held by the state retention circuits. The parity checking elements may also be provided within the scan flops rather than as separate XOR gates.

Title: Head up display adjustment
Inventor: JON ASHLEY
IPC: G02B27/01
Filed: 2015-03-26
Abstract: A controller (6, fig 7) and method (fig 14) for adjusting a display 10 on a Head Up Display HUD (7, fig 7), wherein the controller obtains head position information 31 of a user 30 from a detector unit 5, and based on that information, estimates whether content displayed on the HUD is causing an obstruction (S1402, fig 14). If an obstruction is estimated, the controller generates an adjustment command to adjust the display and reduce the level of obstruction (S1403, fig 14). The obstruction may be reduced by moving an image on the display to other locations 10a, 10b & 10c, or may change the saturation, hue, luminosity, contrast or degree of animation of a portion of, or all of the display. The controller may, as a dependent feature of the controller, or as an alternative second independent aspect of the application, estimate whether content displayed on the HUD is distorted due to a different viewing angle or perspective of the user, and apply a reverse-distortion processing based on the information.
