IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: Embodiments of systems, methods and apparatuses for execution a VPBZHI instruction are described. The execution of a VPBZHI causes, on a per data element basis of a second source, a zeroing of bits higher (more significant) than a starting point in the data element.

Title: Heating control system
Inventor: BACH HARRY WILLIAM
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2014-03-20
Abstract: A control system calculates heating switch on time prior to a users desired time. A central heating system, has a control module for switching the heating system between on and off modes in response to signals at a transceiver. A user selects a desired time, preferably via an internet enabled device, at which they wish the dwelling to be heated. Using stored information the control module determines a time period for the central heating system to be on to have the dwelling heated by the desired time. An advanced time is then calculated to precede the desired time by the time period. The transceiver then turns the heating system on at the advanced time. The internet enabled device may be a smartphone, tablet or computer to allow remote control and thereby provide active management. Preferably compatible with heating zones. Temperature can preferably be controlled via i-pad. I-pad may additionally display stored information such as a users appointments or web-based information such as public holidays and tariffs.

Title: Video receiving apparatus for processing a video content receivable from a plurality of distribution platforms, and method thereof
Inventor: STRIULI ALESSANDRO
IPC: H04N21/63
Filed: 2014-05-22
Abstract: Video content is received by a video receiver (103) from at least one source (104) through a plurality of distribution platforms including at least one first broadband (e.g. Internet) distribution platform (105) and at least one second broadcast (e.g. satellite) distribution platform (106). The receiver is connected with at least one reproducer (102), and identifies a video content to be reproduced. The receiver also identifies at least one active distribution platform among the plurality of platforms on which the video content to be reproduced is currently being transmitted by the source(s). An active distribution platform is initially selected for the reception of the video content by the receiver. A command signal is received, either remotely (e.g. from the broadcaster via remote server 107) or by the local user, which switches between the first and second distribution platforms or vice versa. An output video signal comprising the video content is then generated in a form reproducible by the reproducer. Signals may be returned to the source detailing usage of the distribution platforms, allowing broadcast/broadband distribution to be selected according to number or proportion of receivers using either platform.

Title: Polling between wireless device and vehicle transceivers
Inventor: GHABRA RIAD
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2015-04-08
Abstract: A short-range polling system comprises a portable device, such as a remote keyless entry fob having a controller that produces a polling signal with a transmission period 612, a receive period 614, and a sleep period, the sleep period being longer than the transmission period and receive period combined and the transmission period 612 and sleep period together being longer than a receive period 710 of a vehicle. A transceiver connected to the controller transmits the polling signal from the device or receives a vehicle signal at the device. A vehicle with a communication system has a polling signal receive time period 710 greater than transmission time period of the portable device 612. In a second invention, a polling signal is transmitted which includes a plurality of time-separated polling transmission signals 616 and a final polling transmission signal. A poll response signal is then monitored for with a single receive period. If no poll response is received then the polling signal is transmitted again. If a poll response is received, then a passive communication mode is entered. Energy savings for the wireless device are provided by limiting the number of receive actions and time periods in the wireless device.

Title: Channel quality indicators
Inventor: BELKACEM MOUHOUCHE
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2015-11-19
Abstract: An actual Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) is received by a base station from a device and an effective CQI is determined based on the actual CQI and its age, from which transmission parameters, such as data transmission rate, are selected. Transmission parameters may be based on the lowest effective CQI among a plurality of devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, that may receive a multicast. The device with the lowest effective CQI may be selectively requested to provide on updated actual CQI based on whether it is estimated to be faster to complete the transmission without an update or transmit with new parameters following updating. An estimated effective CQI may be based on actual CQI history, and may comprise adjusting the actual CQI. A device with the lowest CQI may be excluded from a multicast transmission, for example when the effective CQI is below a threshold or when the time to update the actual CQI is too long. Devices with an actual CQI below a threshold or with obsolete CQIs may be requested to provide an update. The actual CQI may be based on a noise or interference level, a SNR, or a SINR.

Title: Radio communication
Inventor: DANIEL RYAN
IPC: H04W76/11
Filed: 2017-08-01
Abstract: A radio communication apparatus receives or generates a base address seed from which it then generates a set of data-channel access addresses, each address corresponding to a respective data-channel identifier, and sends or receives radio data packets comprising an access address from the generated set. The addresses are generated by: setting a bit at a common first bit position to the value of a bit at a first common bit position in the base address seed or in the respective data-channel identifier; setting a bit at a common second bit position to the bitwise complement of this value; setting values at one or more remaining bit positions in dependence on values at other bit positions in the base address seed or in the respective data-channel identifier. The scheme reduces the overhead for channel-establishment by requiring only the base address to be shared among the devices rather than each individual access address. It may be used with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for establishing left and right audio channels.
