Abstract: A method comprises: receiving content from a content provider, wherein the content is configured for rendering by a media system of a vehicle; determining a noise level within a cabin of the vehicle; in response to determining that the noise level exceeds a threshold, triggering display of closed captioning for the content; and rendering the content on the media system of the vehicle. Deactivating (stopping) closed caption display may be in response to determining the noise level is below one or more of a first threshold comprising the threshold, or a second threshold; a deactivation indication may be provided accordingly. The method may further comprise modifying a sound level for audio content rendering in response to the noise level, the determined noise level being based on an external microphone, a microphone internal to the cabin and/or estimated cabin noise level based on vehicle current speed, engine rotations per minute (RPM), the presence or number of nearby vehicles, vehicle vibration, and/or weather conditions. Information from the environment around the vehicle may also come from LIDAR data, radar data, ultrasound data, or light levels.

Filed: 2017-05-09
Abstract: A ceramic acetabular cup 10, devoid of a separate liner, comprises an inner articulating surface 12, an outer surface (14, Fig 1) and a rim (22, Fig 1). The distance 38 between the articulating surface and outer surface on a straight line from an equatorial centre of the articulating surface E and passing through a surface edge of it is equal to or less than 4 mm. In a first embodiment an inner radius of the articulating surface defines an active arc A (over which an in use femoral head can articulate) of around 150 degrees to less than 180 degrees and an uppermost portion of the rim defines an offset datum plane D. An offset O between an equatorial centre E of the articulating surface and the offset datum plane D is in a range of around 1 mm towards a pole 24 of the articulating surface and around 3.5 mm away it. In a second embodiment the distance is measured where the straight line from the equatorial centre E passes through a surface edge of the articulating surface at the transition to the rim. A method of selecting a wall thickness for an acetabular cup is also included.

Title: Management of memory for storing display data
Inventor: COLIN SKINNER
IPC: H04N21/443
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: Display data is received and stored at a display control device according to received ordering instructions. Also disclosed is managing display control device (16) memory (28) at a host (10), the memory used for storing display data sent from host to device for display, comprising maintaining a map (18) at the host corresponding to the device memory, the map indicating locations corresponding to addresses of the memory at which data is stored or not. The map is used to determine a size of a portion of the display data, and a location on the map where the portion of display data would fit. A memory address corresponding to the determined map location, together with the data, is then sent to the device, and the map location corresponding to the memory address is updated to indicate that the address is occupied. The data may be compressed using compression parameters, which can be selected so the compressed data will fit into a free space in the device memory. The decompression and combining order of portions can also be sent. An expectation of whether the memory will run out of space before all display data is sent can be calculated.

Title: Data transmission to mobile devices
Inventor: Matthew parks
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2018-03-27
Abstract: Sensor information is received S41 at a host device from a mobile device such as a virtual or augmented reality device. A pose of the mobile device is then determined by the host device based on the received sensor information. The pose of the mobile device is compared with pose information S42 of previous poses of the mobile device, each previous pose of the mobile device being associated with a performance level of the system for data transmitted. The host device then determines S43 whether a performance level of the system for the mobile device having the determined pose is likely to be above or below a threshold of acceptability based on the comparison, and, if above the threshold of acceptability, setting S44A a low level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is high, but, if it is determined that the performance level is below the threshold of acceptability, setting S44B a high level of compression to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is low.

Title: Generation of code coverage information during testing of a code sequence
Inventor: Sanne Wouda
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2018-09-14
Abstract: A method for generating code coverage information during testing of a code sequence comprising decisions (e.g. conditional statements), each having one or more conditions as inputs, includes executing the code sequence on target processing circuitry under the control of test stimuli and maintaining, in memory, a code coverage table 14 for at least one decision. When the decision is evaluated, a bitstring (bit field) 36 is created, each position in the bitstring being associated with one of the conditions, and the value of that bit representing the true/false value of that condition. The bit string acts as an index pointing to the table row associated with that combination of argument values. A confirmation value is recorded in that entry, indicating whether the decision has been evaluated for that set of input values. The code coverage table may be evaluated to determine compliance with at least one MC/DC code coverage criterion.

Title: Vessel-supportable flexible-elongate-element spooling system
Inventor: STEPHEN ARTHUR BROWN
IPC: H02G1/10
Filed: 2019-02-04
Abstract: A vessel-supportable flexible-elongate-element spooling system 100 for spooling a flexible elongate element 12. The system comprises a container 14 having an internal volume defined by a radially inner barrier 22, a radially outer barrier 24, and a base 26. A flexible-elongate-element feeder 18 feeds the flexible elongate element 12 towards the base 26 of the container 14. A flexible-elongate-element force applicator 20 applies a force to the flexible elongate element 12 to retain a curvature imparted to the flexible elongate element 12 on discharge from the flexible-elongate-element feeder 18. The 10 curvature is at least in part defined by the inner barrier 22 and/or the outer barrier 24. The force applicator 20 applies a pushing, pulling, clamping, pinning or downward force on the flexible-elongate-element so as to clamp or pin it to the base of the container. This ensures that the flexible-elongate-element maintains a desired curvature and /or the curvature is matched to that of the outer barrier. This reduces gapping in the coils from spooled flexible-elongate-element.
