Title: Sparse matrix vector multiplier using a bit map of non-zero elements to control scheduling of arithmetic operations
Inventor: MOLONEY DAVID
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2010-01-07
Abstract: A system for multiplying sparse matrices stores the matrix as a block compressed sparse row data structure. Each tile within the matrix is stored as a sequence of non-zero elements and a bit map indicating the locations of the elements in the tile. When a vector is to be multiplied by a matrix, the vector is loaded into the multiplier and the result is initialized to zero. The bit map for each tile is read and the arithmetic operations for the non-zero elements of the tile are scheduled. This is repeated for each tile in turn until all the tiles have been processed. A software interface may be used for loading the bit maps and the matrix data into a single instruction multiple data floating point unit. Alternatively, the data may be processed using multiply and accumulate operations using a single floating point multiplier and a single floating point adder.

Title: Timing alignment for an RF amplifier with a modulated supply
Inventor: WILSON MARTIN
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2010-04-15
Abstract: Timing misalignment between the envelope of an RF signal being amplified 106 and the amplifier's envelope-tracking supply voltage 126 may lead to distortion. This timing error is estimated by comparing the relative timing of the modulated supply voltage and the current drawn from the modulated supply, which corresponds to the envelope of the RF signal being amplified. A delay 401 in the RF signal path or power supply path can then be adjusted to correct the error. The current detector 410 may derive a current waveform 416 by summing current signals from coarse and fine supply stages 406,402, or by use of a sense resistor in the power supply output path 126. The voltage waveform at the output of the supply may be estimated by use of a delayed version of the input voltage signal 125, thus avoiding the monitoring of a node subject to RF signals. The technique is not limited to RF amplifiers.

Title: Correction of estimated axes of elliptical filter region
Inventor: SEILER LARRY
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2010-09-24
Abstract: Anisotropic filtering may be done in graphics processing without actually have to calculate the elliptical weighted averaging ellipse. Instead, an estimate may be used for the length of the minor axis with a correction factor being applied. The correction factor is calculated based on the relative lengths of the estimated axes and the cosine of the angle between them and may be implemented using a look up table. The estimate avoids the complexities inherent in the elliptical weighted averaging ellipse calculation and reduces overhead, while still obtaining sufficient accuracy.

Title: Monitoring multiple optical channels
Inventor: MCCLEAN IAN PETER
IPC: H04B10/079
Filed: 2012-01-04
Abstract: This application is concerned with monitoring and optionally also controlling an optical node 100 including one or more optical components (120, 121 or 122) . The optical node receives an optical signal 102 including a plurality of optical channels, each with a different wavelength. Broader claims are directed to an optical performance monitor which selects a set of channels from the plurality of optical channels, and measures an optical property of the selected channels. However, claim 1 requires there to be multiple â  measurement sequencesâ  , each defining both a set of optical channels selected from the plurality of optical channels and an optical property of the optical channels which is to be measured. Examples of the optical property include optical channel power or optical signal to noise ratio. One of the plurality of measurement sequences is selected based on operating conditions of the optical node, such as whether channel conditions are stable. If the measurements determine that an optical component is operating outside of a predefined range of operating conditions (or tolerance) then adjustments to the component are made. In a preferred embodiment measurements can be made at multiple positions (111, 112, 113, 114, 115) within the node and the measurement sequence also defines at which position measurements are to be performed at, and the order the measurements are to be performed in.

Title: Micron-gap thermal photovoltaic large scale sub-micron gap method and apparatus
Inventor: BROWN ERIC L
IPC: H01L31/058
Filed: 2011-02-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to micron-gap thermal photovoltaic (MTPV) technology for the solid-state conversion of heat to electricity. The problem is forming and then maintaining the close spacing between two bodies at a sub-micron gap in order to maintain enhanced performance. While it is possible to obtain the sub-micron gap spacing, the thermal effects on the hot and cold surfaces induce cupping, warping, or deformation of the elements resulting in variations in gap spacing thereby resulting in uncontrollable variances in the power output. A major aspect of the design is to allow for intimate contact of the emitter chips to the shell inside surface, so that there is good heat transfer. The photovoltaic ceils are pushed outward against the emitter chips in order to press them against the inner wail. A high temperature thermal interface material improves the heat transfer between the shell inner surface and the emitter chip.
