Patent GB-2459741-A (GB)
Title: Generating timestamp values for debugging a target device
Inventor: EDWARDS DAVID ALAN
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2008-05-08
Abstract: A method of generating timestamp values for debugging a target device comprises executing code on the target processor to generate trace information, and periodically incrementing a counter on the target processor during execution of said code. Execution of the code includes executing a plurality of timestamp instructions on the target processor each associating a respective timestamp with the trace information. Execution of each timestamp instruction comprises generating the respective timestamp by reading the value of the counter into a software accessible storage location and resetting the counter. This resetting reduces the effect that the timestamp process has on the operation of the target device, because only two timestamp instructions are required to measure the time between two events and no subtraction of timestamps is required. Also, time stamp values tend to be smaller in magnitude and therefore more readily compressed for storage or transmission to a host. The value of the counter is preferably first read into a timestamp register and then from the time stamp register into a destination storage location, in response to a single timestamp instruction. The timestamp information is preferably supplied from the storage location to a debugging tool running on an external host computer.

Title: Signal Analyser for Use in Displaying Information Related to Physiological Parameters
Inventor: KEITH ROBERT DUNCAN FALCONER
IPC: A61B5/344
Filed: 2009-03-30
Abstract: The signal analyser 100 is operable to receive one or more signals and then to analyse the signals with respect to particular properties before outputting an indication as to the classification of the signal with respect to each property. Typically this indication is in the form of a plurality of belief index ratings, the magnitude of each belief index rating relating to the likelihood of the corresponding classification being accurate. This is achieved by incrementing or decrementing one or more individual belief index values (see figure 2) in response to the identification of predetermined signal features by the signal processing means 102, which belief index values are incremented or decremented and by how much is determined by the particular signal feature detected. Typically, this data is retrieved from a suitable look up table stored in the data storage means 104. The data storage means 104 is also operable to store a copy of the received signals for future reference. Information may be output on a display 105 and a notification/alarm unit 107 is operable to generate an alarm or notification in response to the determination of particular classifications or reclassifications by the classification engine.

Title: Shaped label peel and present mechanism
Inventor: BEADMAN MICHAEL ANDREW
IPC: B65C3/00
Filed: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A peel and present or beak mechanism has a shaped label stock support channel, and a shaped peeling edge, particularly when provided as a V-shaped dip towards the centre of the channel. In this manner a shaped rigidity may be furnished to labels passing over the peeling edge, as they separate from a backing liner upon which they are carried. For very thin labels, this may stop the label from curling during dispensing, long enough to be applied to an item, such a small container with curved walls. A compensatory shaping, such as a V shape which this time rises towards the centre of the separation edge, may be provided, on the path over which the used backing sheet passes after dispensing, to balance variances in tension across the width of the peeling edge, due to shaping.
