Patent GB-2514477-A (GB)
Title: A particle filtering material
Inventor: RISSE GUNTER
IPC: B01D46/00
Filed: 2014-04-03
Abstract: A particle filtering material characterised in that the filter material is a foam in which planar structures are located which are formed from a liquid. Preferably the liquid is a viscous thixotropic or pseudoplastic liquid. Preferably the liquid is a polyacrylic acid solution to which chitosan (low molecular weight) is added and then treated with ultrasound before glycerol is added. A dispersion of wheat fibre HT, coated with 10% palmitic acid may be added before the liquid mixture is sucked into the foam and then dried. Advantageously the filtering material provides an effective particle filtering function of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs), which is stable over time and has reduced complexity. The filter material may be suitable both for particle filtration and for humidifying breathing air or gas.
Patent GB-2532067-A (GB)
Title: Communication system
Inventor: YUHUA CHEN
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2014-11-07
Abstract: A HetNet system (consisting of Macro and Pico cells for example), the Macro eNB may employ beamsteering techniques to form a plurality of beams. In this type of system Almost Blank Subframes (ABS) are transmitted by the Macro eNB at fixed intervals which mute signals across all beams to allow UEs to perform signal measurements with a minimum of inter-cell interference. A UE measures signals during the ABS period and transmits the measurement report to its Pico cell along with information identifying which beamformed region the UE was in when said measurement was taken. This information allows the Macro eNB to only mute the beams which cause interference to other devices, increasing the efficiency of the Macro eNB. The information identifying the beamformed region may comprise a precoding matrix indicator (PMI)

Title: Temperature profile in an advanced thermal treatment apparatus and method
Inventor: DANIEL MICHAEL DONEGAN
IPC: F23G5/027
Filed: 2015-03-05
Abstract: Heat from a heat source 51 is applied to a first region 50 to cause a first pyrolysis or gasification process, which results in a gaseous mixture.

Title: Rounding reciprocal square root results
Inventor: CASPER VAN BENTHEM
IPC: G06F7/552
Filed: 2015-10-19
Abstract: The reciprocal square root yc of a number a is calculated at a first precision. This is higher than the output precision for the operation, having two or more of added guard bits. A floating point number yh half way between the two consecutive numbers in the output precision, to which yc may be rounded, is determined. The square r of yh is determined using the output precision and the rounding error e of r in the first precision is determined. A first delta is calculated as dh = r × a − 1. A second delta value is then calculated as d = dh + e × a. If d < 0, then the result yc is rounded down. If d > 0, then the result yc is rounded up. If d = 0, then a tie break method is needed to determine the rounding.

Patent GB-2545435-A (GB)
Title: Data processing systems
Inventor: SAM MARTIN
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2015-12-15
Abstract: Graphics processor (GPU) performing rendering tasks is controlled by host processor (CPU) which performs setup processing (41) allowing the GPU to perform the task, followed by an execution instruction. When the GPU is to perform a task, the CPU setup processing uses an earliest deadline first (i.e. least time to go) schedule (e.g. using the SCHED_DEADLINE feature of the Linux(RTM) kernel) , prioritising the most urgent tasks. This scheduling ensures that the process nearest its deadline will be next in line for GPU execution. For example, when performing virtual reality time warp slice rendering, the rendering 30 required for the VR display application may be synchronised 35 to the display frame rate and treated as a normal priority task by the scheduling. However, the time warp slice rendering 31 can be effected as a high priority task. To do this, the rendering task setup processing is scheduled using an earliest deadline first scheduling and may be synchronised to display events that allow the high priority task setup processing on the CPU to be triggered at specific points in the scan out period 23. CPU resources may be reserved for performing the setup processing.

Title: Bulk capacitor charging circuit for mud pulse telemetry device
Inventor: PERCIVAL WILLIAMS
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2013-11-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for charging a bulk energy storage capacitor, such as used for actuating solenoids in downhole tools. An electrical generator, which may be a mud-powered, provides a rectified voltage proportional to its rotational speed. The rectified voltage is fed to a single-ended primary-inductor converter, which in turn charges the bulk capacitor 16 when the voltage across the bulk capacitor falls between predetermined upper and lower set points. Upon discharging the bulk capacitor, such as from actuation of solenoid valves for creating mud pressure pulses, control logic also causes the converter to cease charging the bulk capacitor 16 to enhance circuit efficiency and performance. A battery may also be provided to charge the bulk capacitor via a current limiter, and a disconnect circuit prevents the battery from charging the bulk capacitor when the generator is charging the bulk capacitor via the converter.

Title: Measuring properties of a test of a sample of material using depth-sensing indentation
Inventor: SHAH ABDUL KHALIQ
IPC: G01N3/42
Filed: 2017-01-31
Abstract: There is provided apparatus for use in determining a property of a test by a depth-sensing indentation system of a sample of material. It comprises a memory, which stores data representative of points on a load-displacement curve for a test on a sample by the indentation system. The data includes a loading curve representing applied indentation load versus displacement of the probe of the indentation system.
