Each cantilever spring has an unconstrained length between the first and second constraint means that is free to bend. The constraint means effectively join the ends and thus hold the cantilever springs 101, 102 in a parallel and spaced apart arrangement. The force input members 105, 106 are attached via the constraint means so that relative movement of the force input members bends the cantilever springs and the force measuring means 107 is arranged to measure force applied between the force input members. In practice a load cell may be connected to one of the force input members. Two sets of spring pairs may be joined via a constraining means 204 (as seen in figure 2).

Title: An apparatus and method for supporting multiple cache features
Inventor: DAVIDE MARANI
IPC: G06F12/0864
Filed: 2016-02-05
Abstract: In set-associative cache storage 10, first and second cache features 30, 40 are applied to cache ways 20 organised in way groups. Way group control circuitry 60 provides first and second mappings 70 defining which cache ways belong to each way-group when the first or second cache feature is applied, respectively. The ways to way-groups mappings for the first and second feature prevent application of one feature from interfering with the ability to access at least one cache way in each way-group when the other is applied. For example, the mappings ensure that the way groups of the first feature have only one or half of the cache ways in common with the second feature. The invention allows a cache partitioning feature to have full serviceability when a partial power-down feature is applied to reduce leakage power. Another feature is background cache maintenance. Different processor cores utilize different groups to avoid thrashing.

IPC: F02G5/02
Filed: 2017-01-30
Abstract: A waste heat recovery system 12 for an engine exhaust system 14 comprises a turbine shaft 24 carrying a turbine 21 for extracting work from the hot exhaust gases, which expands the hot exhaust gases to a sub-atmospheric pressure. The exhaust gasses are then cooled in a heat exchanger 23, and purged to the atmosphere by a compressor 22 carried on a compressor shaft 25. The turbine shaft 24 and compressor shaft 25 are coupled by an electrical motor-generator 20 including a magnetic gear assembly to provide a variable speed ratio between the compressor shaft 25 and the turbine shaft 24. This inverted Brayton cycle system allows more efficient energy recovery than a turbine which exhausts directly to atmosphere.
