Title: Apparatus and method for determining the condition of an electricity-producing cell
Inventor: BEER CHRIS DE
IPC: H02S50/10
Filed: 2014-06-26
Abstract: The condition of an electricity producing cell, such as a fuel cell, photovoltaic cell or electrochemical cell, is determined by applying a broadband signal to the cell and measuring the voltage and/or current response of the cell. The broadband signal is a plurality of superimposed waveforms, e.g. sinusoids, at different frequency set points and is optimized to have reduced peak amplitudes.

Title: System and methods for generating dynamic market pricing for use in real-time auctions
Inventor: SAIFEE QASIM
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2013-08-20
Abstract: A system and methods for generating dynamic market pricing that is fair for both publishers and advertisers and the use of the pricing in real-time auctions. When a user views content over the internet, an online publisher provides content to the user with executable instructions, which notify an advertisement source that there is an impression for filling by an advertiser. The impression is submitted to a real-time bidding market for competing advertisers to bid to fill the impression with an advertisement. The system and methods generate dynamic pricing for the individual competing advertisers and use the dynamic pricing to compare advertiser bids to determine a highest or winning bid and a clearing price associated with the highest or winning bid.

Title: Cache operation in a multi-threaded processor
Inventor: PHILIP DAY
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2015-04-09
Abstract: A way enable table 210 is provided in a multi-threaded processor and stores an index to an n-way set associative cache. The way enable table 210 comprises one entry 212 for each entry 205 in the cache 202. Each entry in the way enable table is arranged to store a thread ID. A thread ID is the ID of the thread associated with a data item 205 stored in the corresponding entry in the cache 202. Prior to reading entries from the cache identified by an index parameter, the ways in the cache are selectively enabled by way enabling logic 214 based on a comparison of the current thread ID and the thread IDs stored in entries in the way enable table which are identified by the same index parameter. Thus, way enabling hardware logic 214 selectively enables or disables one or more ways of the cache so that disabled or non-enabled ways are not powered up to be read, saving power. The index parameter may be a subset of the bits of a memory location for a data cache or a subset of the bits of a program counter for an instruction cache.
