Title: Controlling data flow between processors in a processing system
Inventor: PAUL MURRIN
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 2015-03-24
Abstract: The program processor uses an interfacing module and a group of two or more register banks to offload operations of the particular type to the dedicated processor for execution thereon. Whilst the dedicated processor is accessing one register bank for executing a current operation, the interfacing module can concurrently load data for a subsequent operation into a different one of the register banks. The use of multiple register banks allows the dedicated processor to spend a greater proportion of its time executing operations, toggling or switching between registers. The dedicated processor may for executing operations of a particular type (e.g. data parallel operations such as vector processing operations). This allows for a time saving in processing operations based on serial write and read from a single register bank, where the interfacing module indicates which memory addresses are valid addresses to write to, so that data is loaded into a register bank, whilst in parallel the other register bank is used for processing.

Title: Predicting an amount of memory available to a device
Inventor: JAKOB SLOTH
IPC: H04N17/06
Filed: 2015-10-23
Abstract: Historical information specifying the memory available to a device at previous times is obtained, and a regression line (which may be a curve) is generated (e.g. using linear regression analysis) from the information. The regression line is extended into the future, e.g. based upon a standard error, in order to obtain a forecast of the available memory at the future time, e.g. using a line of best fit. A threshold value of the memory available to the device may be assigned, and a status of the device may be determined by comparing the forecast with the threshold value. Two threshold values (e.g. warning and critical) may be assigned and used in the comparison. The status of the device may be indicated by a user interface, e.g. representing the device using a colour. A rule to take action may be implemented based on the status of the device, e.g. setting an alarm to alert a user to a critical device status, or an instruction to archive data is actioned. Missing historical data may be interpolated (see fig. 8), and the interpolated data may be used in generating the regression line. The data may be video data.

Patent GB-2555412-A (GB)
Title: Inertial sensor
Inventor: MICHAEL TERRENCE DURSTON
IPC: B81B7/00
Filed: 2016-10-25
Abstract: A MEMS sensor comprising: a substrate; and a sensor element movably mounted to a first side of said substrate; wherein a second side of said substrate has a pattern formed in relief thereon. The pattern formed in relief on the second side of the substrate provides a reduced surface area for contact with the die bond layer.The reduced surface area reduces the amount of stress that is transmitted from the die bond layer to the substrate (and hence reduces the amount of transmitted stress reaching the MEMS sensor element). Because the substrate relief pattern provides a certain amount of stress decoupling, the die bond layer does not need to decouple the stress to the same extent as in previous designs. Therefore a thinner die bond layer can be used, which in turn allows the whole package to be slightly thinner.

Title: Macro I/O unit for image processor
Inventor: Albert meixner
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2016-12-30
Abstract: An image processor is described that includes an I/O unit to read input image data from external memory for processing by the image processor and to write output image data from the image processor into the external memory. The I/O unit includes multiple logical channel units were each logical channel unit forms a logical channel between the external memory and a respective producing or consuming component within the image processor. Each logical channel unit is designed to utilize reformatting circuitry and addressing circuitry; the addressing circuitry is to control addressing schemes applied to the external memory and reformatting of image data between the external memory and the respective producing or consuming component while the reformatting circuitry performs the reformatting. The reformatting may reformat input RGB data into data blocks each representing a single colour for presentation to the image processor or reformat colour blocks to RGB data for storage in the memory. The addressing circuitry may be able to address the external memory such that areas of an input frame having smaller width than the image frame are able to be passed between the external memory and necessary producing or consuming component.
