Title: Systematic coding technique
Inventor: RUNE ERLEND JENSEN
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 2015-05-08
Abstract: A method of generating a generator matrix for defining how to systematically code source data is disclosed. The number of source nodes (K) comprising a plurality of sub-stripes (S) is determined (903). The number of redundant nodes (R) comprising a plurality of sub-stripes of coded data (905) is determined. A first generator matrix is determined according to a systematic coding technique such that K of the rows of the generator matrix define how to generate all of the K source nodes as comprising source data and R of the rows of the first generator matrix define how to generate all of the R redundant nodes as comprising combinations of two or more of the source nodes (907). A second generator matrix is generated with a first dimension (KxS) and a second dimension ((K+R)xS), in dependence on the determined first generator matrix, wherein each value of the second generator matrix defines how to generate the data comprised by a respective sub-stripe of a node defined by the first generator matrix such that the values of the second generator matrix define how to generate all of the sub-stripes of all of the nodes defined by the first generator matrix (909). The values of the second generator matrix are changed so that a sub-stripe of at least one of the redundant nodes is defined, by the systematic coding technique, as being dependent on a combination of two or more sub-stripes of data in the source nodes and is further defined as being dependent on one or more further sub-stripes of data, in a respective one or more source nodes such that the sub-stripe of the redundant node was not defined as being dependent on by the systematic coding technique (911). Advantageously, when the second generator matrix is used to generate erasure coded data in a data storage system, the amount of data that needs to be obtained to reconstruct a lost data node is less than if Reed-Solomon or other known coding techniques had been used.

Title: Control system for a vehicle and method
Inventor: CHARLOTTE COOKE
IPC: B60W40/06
Filed: 2017-01-19
Abstract: A vehicle control system (Fig.3, 10) for controlling a subsystem including a powertrain subsystem (Fig.3, 11) and possibly braking or suspension subsystems (Fig.3, 12d/e). The control system initiates control of a subsystem in one of multiple subsystem control modes, including a wade mode, corresponding to multiple driving conditions for the vehicle 100. The vehicle at point (a) is driving on level ground not submerged by water and may be in a grass, gravel, sand mode having a baseline torque response (Fig.5, T1). As the vehicle approaches a river R at point (b) the driver may invoke wade mode and if the pitch angle exceed a predetermined value the controller may soften (reduce the amount of torque generated for a given throttle position) the throttle response (Fig.5, T2) before entering the water. Once the pitch angle has reduced the accelerator response may be sharpened (Fig5, T3) to help in the creation of a bow wave in front of the vehicle to reduce drag. At point (d) the gas pedal response may be softened again to reduce damage to the bank of the river on exiting.
