Title: In-core parallelisation in a data processing apparatus and method
Inventor: Syed Ali Mustafa Zaidi
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2020-09-01
Abstract: A multi-threaded processor executes micro-threads. The processor instruction set includes a detach instruction. The detach instruction specifies an address in a parameter. When a thread executes the detach instruction, and a parallelization criterion is met, the processor spawns a new micro-thread executing in a new context. The new thread executes instructions starting at the address given in the instruction parameter. The detach instruction may also contain a second address. In this case, the original thread continues execution at this address, if the parallelization criterion is met. The processor instruction set may also include a reattach instruction. When a thread executes a reattach instruction, the thread is terminated. If the parallelization criterion is not met, the reattach instruction may be treated as a conditional branch or a no-operation instruction. The processor instruction set may also include a sync instruction. When the synch instruction is executed, the thread waits until all the older threads have terminated. The parallelization criterion may be a maximum number of active threads.

Title: Aircraft engine blockage avoidance by pre-emptive cell handover
Inventor: SZE-CHING LU
IPC: H04W36/32
Filed: 2021-07-01
Abstract: Methods described herein relate to communication between a moving platform such as an aircraft and a base station. Position information, velocity information and base station position information may be utilised to anticipate signal blockages (by terrain or body of the aircraft) and initiate transfer to a different base station and/or aircraft antenna in response to an expected blockage. This avoids loss of communication through blockages, thereby increasing throughput. The communication system including one or more antennas is carried on (e.g. mounted on) the moving platform. The moving platform may be an aircraft, land-based vehicle (e.g. a train) or a water vessel (e.g. a boat or ship).
