Title: Putting a processor in to a low power state while it is in a spinlock state.
Inventor: OVERBY MARK A
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of managing spinlocks and the power of the locked processor in a multi-processor system. The method configures a monitor circuit to monitor the spinlock state associated with a memory address of a system resource, the address being accessed by a first processor. The circuit tests the lock flag of the spinlock state data and if the spinlock is in a locked state the first processor waits in a low power state until the memory address is accessed by a second processor. When the lock flag is no longer locked the system resource is accessed by the first processor. The spinlock state data may reside in a shared memory accessible by both processors. Waiting in the low power state may include the processor executing a wait operation then causes the processor to enter a low power state.

Title: Fluid heating and storage system, ideally using a weather compensation boiler
Inventor: HANSON-GRAVILLE RICHARD
IPC: F24D17/00
Filed: 2013-02-19
Abstract: The fluid heating and storage system 1 comprises a fluid heater such as a weather compensation boiler 31 having an output responsive to air temperature, ideally measured by an external air temperature sensor 33. The boiler is arranged to heat a first fluid, ideally boiler water, which passes to a heat exchanger 5. A fluid store such as a hot water cylinder 3 is arranged to store a second fluid, ideally water, which is controllably supplied to the heat exchanger depending on the output of the boiler. Water from the cylinder may be supplied to the heat exchanger via a cylinder water circuit 13 having a pump 7, whereby the pump is only activated if the temperature of boiler water supplied to the heat exchanger is at/above a target temperature measured by a boiler water thermostat 9, ideally 60Ë C. This ensures water in the cylinder water circuit, and therefore the cylinder, is not cooled by the heat exchanger when the output of the boiler is low, such as during hot weather when the boiler operates in a weather compensation mode. Water stored in the cylinder can be used to heat mains pressure water for industrial or domestic hot water purposes.
