Title: Electronic package for millimeter wave semiconductor dies
Inventor: KAMINSKI NOAM
IPC: H01L23/66
Filed: 2013-03-27
Abstract: A mm Wave electronics package constructed from common Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology and a metal cover. Assembly of the package uses standard pick and place technology and heat is dissipated directly to a pad on the package. Input/output of mm Wave signal(s) is achieved through a rectangular waveguide. Mounting of the electronic package to an electrical printed circuit board (PCB) is performed using conventional reflow soldering processes and includes a waveguide I/O connected to an mm Wave antenna. The electronic package provides for transmission of low frequency, dc and ground signals from the semiconductor chip inside the package to the PCB it is mounted on. An impedance matching scheme matches the chip to high frequency board transition by altering the ground plane within the chip. A ground plane on the high frequency board encircles the high frequency signal bump to confine the electromagnetic fields to the bump region reducing radiation loss.

IPC: H05K1/03
Filed: 2015-03-18
Abstract: A backplane 100 to receive electrical components 200, for example a PCB to receive multiple hard disc drives (HDDs) and to be mounted in a sled, is configured to prevent transfer of vibrations between electrical components by allowing connector island(s) 109 located in opening(s) in a substrate 103 to move independently with respect to the substrate. One or more flexible bridging elements (Fig. 2; 114) extend between the connector islands and the substrate, and backplane traces 106 formed as part of the substrate extend over the bridging elements 114 to the connector island(s) 109. The bridging elements allow the connector island(s) 109 to flex with respect to the substrate 103 and absorb vibrations. A mating connector component (Fig. 3; 122) may be permanently or removably affixed to a connector island. There may be a series of alternating connector islands 109 formed along two parallel axes A and B extending lengthwise on the substrate, and each connector island may be able to move independently to other connector islands. The backplane may be trapezoidal, with traces parallel to the edges of the backplane and the number of traces graduated so that fewer backplane traces at the narrower end, connecting to the farthest connector island from a backplane connector region 140.

Inventor: CHOWDHARY DIPENDRA M
IPC: H04W74/00
Filed: 2015-04-16
Abstract: A radio controller monitors a radio channel for a first period of time and determines a first indication of signals received without detecting synchronization or with detecting synchronization but failing error correction during that time. Responsive to determining that the first indication is above a predetermined threshold indicative of an interference condition, causing an instruction to be broadcast identifying a subset of subscriber devices allowed transmitting random access requests on the radio channel. The radio controller monitors the radio channel for a second period of time and determines a second indication during that time. If the second indication is an improvement over the first indication, the radio controller determines that the interference condition is caused by the mass random access event.

Title: A method and an apparatus for determining haemodynamic status
Inventor: ZACHARY WHINNETT
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 2016-03-24
Abstract: A device and a method thereof for determining a haemodynamic state of an individual from a magnitude of a perfusion signal, wherein the control device is configured to receive a perfusion signal and a heart rate signal, divide the perfusion signal into frames, wherein a frame length is determined from an oscillation period of the heart rate signal, and determine a magnitude of the perfusion signal from at least two frames, so as to obtain a more reliable magnitude of the perfusion signal. In an embodiment the frame length may be determined based on an average oscillation period of the heart signal. The device may reduce noise as any noise in the signal or any peak or trough may be discounted as a result of the summation of the divided perfusion signal frames, as the peak and the trough that have been caused by the heart beat will correspond in time in every frame.

Title: Instruction prefetching
Inventor: KAUSER YAKUB JOHAR
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises prefetch circuitry for prefetching instructions 50 from a data store into an instruction queue. Branch prediction circuitry is provided for predicting outcomes 60 of branch or jump instructions and the prefetch circuitry prefetchs instructions 62 subsequent to the branch based on the predicted outcome. Instruction identifying circuitry identifies whether a given instruction prefetched from the data store is a predetermined type of program flow altering instruction 54 and if so then controls the prefetch circuitry to halt prefetching of subsequent instructions into the instruction queue. Prefetching may be paused until the outcome of such an instruction is resolved 56, and then resume 58. Stopping prefetching beyond certain instructions may facilitate the avoidance of memory faults, or errors due to unintended prefetching from a literal pool. Instructions which change privilege level, wait for exceptions or interrupts, or involve context synchronisation may also stall prefetching.

Title: System and method of 3D print modelling
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES BIGOS
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2017-05-05
Abstract: A method of three-dimensional (3D) print modelling comprises generating a voxel representation of the surface of a target virtual object, associating a counter with each voxel, rendering the target virtual object from a plurality of viewpoints and, for each rendered viewpoint, incrementing the counter associated with a voxel if a first pixel on a portion of the object surface corresponding to that voxel is rendered. The method may further include detecting whether a counter is below a predetermined threshold and if so, projecting a plurality of line from the position of the voxel. A flag may also be associated with a voxel to ensure that the counter is only incremented the first time that a pixel corresponding to a voxel is rendered or is only incremented until a specified percentage of the pixels for a given voxel are rendered. The method can be used to create a physical three-dimensional model of a target object in a virtual environment such as character in a video game.

Title: Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) rate adaptation
Inventor: KHOSROW LASHKARI
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2017-09-25
Abstract: Echo cancellation in an audio system having a transducer and a microphone, comprising: generating an echo-cancelled output signal from a microphone input signal and a transducer output signal, wherein the echo-cancelled output signal is generated using an adaptive filter; determining an echo-to-disturbance energy ratio (EDER) by comparing an energy of the microphone input signal and an energy of the echo-cancelled output signal; and adjusting the step size of the adaptive filter used to converge on the echo-cancelled output signal based, at least in part, on the EDER. Step size can be used to slow or freeze the adaptive filter to improve Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) system performance, such as during double talk events. An AEC control system may be used to adjust the step size based on the EDER. The algorithm adjusts the step size to lower the adaptation rate when the EDER is small (or the combination of the near signal and noise is large compared to the echo) and raise the adaptation rate when the EDER is large (echo is large compared to a combination of near signal and noise. Aspects include detecting convergence of the adaptive filter and adjusting the step size based on a convergence state.
