Title: Wireless communication systems for mitigating inter-and-intra-mobile device interference between communications sessions
Inventor: MIHAEL BERCOVICI
IPC: H04W4/80
Filed: 2016-09-22
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for mitigating interference between two communication sessions based on a determined geographical proximity of two mobile devices (MDs) to each other. In one embodiment, a geographical proximity is determined of a first MD, engaged in a first communication session, to a second MD, engaged in a second communication session. Based on the determined geographical proximity, one of the two communication sessions is transferred to the other MD so that both communication sessions are resident at, and can be controlled by, a same MD. In other embodiments, wherein a first MD is engaged in two communication sessions, one of the two communication sessions may be transferred to a second MD that is sufficiently geographically distant from the first MD or the first MD may use a geographically distant remote wireless device as an uplink and downlink relay device for one of the communication sessions.

Patent GB-2572404-A (GB)
Title: Method and system for controlling processing
Inventor: JAMES GLANVILLE
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2018-03-29
Abstract: Input data (e.g. image or video data) is received (302) and a command (e.g. processor control command, e.g. rendering command) is generated (304) from the input data for processing at a graphics processor (e.g. GPU), wherein the command will cause the processor to write out at least one buffer of data (e.g. depth buffer, stencil buffer or colour buffer) to an external memory. The command is submitted (306) to a queue for later processing by the processor. Upon receiving further input data (308) indicating that the buffer of data does not need to be written to external memory (e.g. due to not being considered as required (310), e.g. due to a forthcoming buffer clearance or invalidation), the graphics processor is signalled (312) to prevent at least a portion of the write to external memory from being performed, e.g. by modifying the command in the queue, or generating an interrupt signal. The memory bandwidth associated with the unnecessary write operation is therefore not wasted. The latency between submitting commands for processing and their execution on a processor is therefore used to forecast the use or not of a data buffer.

Title: A method of controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle
Inventor: THOMAS ALEXANDER POYNTZ OWEN
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 2020-09-09
Abstract: A method of controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle involves receiving a first value (step 303) indicating a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle, preferably by use of an accelerometer, and using this to determine a first shift point (step 302) for the automatic transmission which is then output. This is preferably done when it is determined that accelerator pedal pressure is below a threshold, there is a negative torque above a threshold and/or a braking system is active (step 301) The determination may also depend on a currently selected gear (step 304), an expected time to change the gear (step 305) and/or a target output speed of the engine immediately after the gear change (step 306). A second shift point may be determined based on a relationship between an output of the transmission and brake pedal pressure. A control system, vehicle system and vehicle are also provided.
