Title: MEMS device and process
Inventor: Marek Sebastian Piechocinski
IPC: H04R19/01
Filed: 2016-03-14
Abstract: A MEMS transducer comprising a flexible membrane with a vent structure 501 comprising at least one moveable portion 502 which, in response to differential pressure across the vent, deflects away from the plane of the membrane to reveal an aperture, wherein at least one edge of the moveable portion 502 has protrusions and/or recesses in the plane of the moveable portion. The flap may be separated from the diaphragm by a channel 502, the edges being interdigitated in a sinusoidal, square, triangle, serrated or saw-tooth shape. The vent bleed holes allow for pressure equalisation between cavities and the protrusions reduce the effect of high pressure impulses by providing an extended edge length thus preventing damage or overload of the diaphragm. The protrusion density may be varied, with a greater concentration at edges with the most deflection from the equilibrium position. A joint or beam may be between the triangular, rectangular, or square shaped membrane and flap 502. The microeletromechanical transducer may use capacitive sensing with electrodes and may be utilised as a microphone in mobile telephones, computing devices or other portable electronics.

Title: Method and device for calibrating a vehicle camera of a vehicle
Inventor: PHILIPPE DREUW
IPC: G06T7/80
Filed: 2018-04-11
Abstract: A method for self-calibrating an onboard vehicle camera 105 is described. Two subsequent images (305, 310, Fig. 3) are taken with the camera moving 210 while the automobile 100 is stationary, and said images are used to calibrate at least one calibration parameter (315, Fig. 3). Flow vectors (513, Fig. 5) might be used for calibration, which might be compared with reference vectors. The flow vectors may be determined by using multiple feature points from different images. The travel path 200 of the camera may be reconstructed via the control signal of an actuator motor. A car motion signal may be used to confirm that the vehicle is stationary. The camera trajectory may be related to the displacement of a camera mounted on a car door or a tailgate being opened or closed. Said motion may also derive from an exterior mirror being folded in or out of a door. The calibration procedure may be interrupted if an inclination sensor recognises that the automobile is inclined.

Patent GB-2576944-A (GB)
Title: Packet processing
Inventor: BEN THOMAS WRIGHT
IPC: H04L45/60
Filed: 2018-09-07
Abstract: The invention proposes a network node 500, such as switch/router, including a control plane function 530 which receives control packets 560 via a forwarding plane 510. It analyses the packet (e.g. header fields) and decides whether to process the packet locally (e.g. on CPU 535) or offload it to a remote external processor. Offloaded packets may be transmitted to the external processor via the forwarding plane 570. The control plane packets may relate to functions such as operations, administration and maintenance (OAM), keep alive/heartbeat messages, fault notifications and link states advertisements (LSA). Some control processing, such as updating network maps or recalculating routes in light of LSA can be computationally onerous and related packets may preferably be offloaded. The forwarding plane may include a network processing unit (NPU) 515. Offloaded packets may be encapsulated for tunnelling. The external processing may be performed by servers, which may reply to the network node.
