IPC: A61B5/1455
Filed: 2014-10-15
Abstract: Controlling an opto-physiological sensor comprising a plurality of light sources and at least one photodetector, configured to capture radiation after travelling through body tissue, comprises: obtaining independent signals from each light source; performing signal quality measurements on each signal; modifying an illumination intensity of each source and repeating the measurements of quality; further modifying the intensity of each source whose signals have undergone a rise or drop in quality and repeating the quality measurement; fixing the intensity of sources whose signals have reached a peak in quality; and selectively deactivating sources whose signals are below a threshold. In another aspect, selecting wavelengths of light to use in an opto-physiological sensor, comprising multiple light source channels with two or more sources, comprises: setting a channel quality value for a channel to zero, determining for each source whether the source is enabled; incrementing the channel quality value for the channel by one; comparing the quality value with a threshold; and disabling the channel if the quality value does not exceed the threshold. These features may be used to take into account patient age or an accumulation of sweat or creams on the skin.

Patent GB-2544994-A (GB)
Title: Data processing
Inventor: EIVIND LILAND
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2015-12-02
Abstract: A multi-threaded processor has a pause instruction, which pauses scheduling instructions from the thread with the pause instruction and allows other instructions from other threads to be scheduled. The processor also identifies instructions which are not likely to have their results available in time for a subsequent instruction. After a pause instruction, the thread is paused until there are no such instructions, which precede the pause instruction. The processor may pause the scheduling of a subsequent instruction, rather than all instructions in the thread. A compiler for the processor may group instructions into snippets, each of which is terminated by a pause instruction and contains an instruction, which is unlikely to complete in time for its results to be available for use by a subsequent instruction.

Title: A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger
Inventor: Riccardo Baria
IPC: F02M26/02
Filed: 2015-12-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of operating an internal combustion engine 110 equipped with a turbocharger 230 and an exhaust gas recirculation pipe 500 fluidly connecting an exhaust gas line 275 to an air intake duct 205 upstream of a compressor 240 of the turbocharger 230. The method comprises the steps of determining a value of a parameter indicative of a temperature of an exhaust gas and actuating an internal recirculation strategy of the exhaust gas, if the determined temperature is lower than a predetermined threshold. The internal exhaust gas recirculation strategy comprises the steps of interrupting a flow of exhaust gas through the exhaust gas recirculation pipe 500 and opening an exhaust valve 215" during an intake stroke of a piston 140 of the internal combustion engine 110. The method prevents condensation forming when warm recirculated exhaust gas mixes with cold ambient intake air and may be used during cold start of the engine to speed up engine warm up. The temperature of a coolant can be used as the parameter indicative of the temperature of the exhaust gas.

Title: Operating a network node
Inventor: SALEM AMIN AL-DAMLUJI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-12-08
Abstract: Setup of a session initiation protocol (SIP) communication session between a calling party and a called party in which the call is forked to multiple devices is disclosed. A network device receives a first provisional response message from a first device comprising first session description protocol (SDP) data; and forwards it on to a calling party device associated with the calling party, the forwarded first provisional response message comprising at least a part of the first SDP data. The network node receives a second provisional response message comprising second SDP data from a second device. The network node transmits a message to the calling party device which offers to update the SDP data to at least a part of the second SDP data. Alternatively the network node removes the second SDP data from the second provisional response message and transmits the second provisional response message to the calling party device. In another embodiment the network node determines whether to perform reconfiguration of SDP settings between the calling party and the node in response to receipt of the second provisional response message.

Title: Methods and systems of recommending media assets to users based on content of other media assets
Inventor: WALTER R KLAPPERT
IPC: H04N21/466
Filed: 2017-02-23
Abstract: A media guidance application provides recommendations to a user viewing a media asset such as a live video stream. A recommendation of a media asset is based on a user's profile. The application determines whether the displayed media asset is of interest to a user and in response updates the user's profile based on keywords in the media asset, increasing or decreasing the weights associated with the keywords accordingly. Interest is determined in part based on the length of time a user spends viewing the media asset. Keywords may be obtained by applying speech recognition to audio associated with the media asset, and then analysing the subsequent transcript. The weights may correspond to a frequency at which the keywords occur, where the frequency is an average number of occurrences per a unit of time.

Title: Liquid dispensing device
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER HOPKIN
IPC: G01F11/02
Filed: 2017-03-10
Abstract: A dispensing device 100 comprises a piston movable in a liquid delivery direction 111 between a first and a second position, and a liquid priming direction 109, and is resiliently biased towards the priming direction. A button 126, movable between a first and second position, acts on the piston to move it in the delivery direction. The button is resiliently biased towards the priming direction independently of the piston, and includes a locking device that engages with the housing to prevent movement of the button in the priming direction until the operating button and the piston are in their respective first positions. Also described is an embodiment where a locking device prevents the user from pressing the operating button in the delivery direction until the piston is in the fully primed position, preventing double-dosing. The locking device may comprise at least one arm 128 engaging with recesses to form a ratchet. Also disclosed is a dispensing device that comprises a dosing ring configured to limit movement of an operating button in the liquid delivery direction, the dosing ring being adjustably mounted on a support member to enable a volume of liquid dispensed to be adjusted.
Patent GB-2562259-A (GB)
Title: Electronic communications control
Inventor: ROMAN SAVELYEV
IPC: H04J3/24
Filed: 2017-05-09
Abstract: The application discloses a transmitter and receiver connected over a physical serial channel (Fig. 1) which construct time multiplexed logical channel to connect different producers and consumers. Access to the physical channel is dynamically allocated by an arbiter and can be switched at any time. A channel specific logical protocol stop indicator (CSI) (STP1, STP2 in the figure) marks the termination of a current channel allocation and indicates the identity of the new logical channel holding the allocation. The receiver can recognise the change in logical channel and route data to the relevant destination consumer using the CSI alone, much like a packet router. No separate start/end or allocation size indications are required. Where a CSI (STP1) occurs in the data to be transmitted an escape character/byte (ESC) is inserted for disambiguation. The matching data may also be transposed (TSTP1) before insertion into the logical channel. A similar procedure is followed if the escape character occurs in the source data flow (ESC:TESC). The invention may be applied to STDERR and STDOUT data flows.
