Patent GB-2493793-A (GB)
Title: Test, validation, and debug architecture
Inventor: TROBOUGH MARK B
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2010-12-23
Abstract: An apparatus and method is described herein for providing a test, validation, and debug architecture. At a target or base level, hardware hooks (Design for Test or DFx) are designed into and integrated with silicon parts. A controller may provide abstracted access to such hooks, such as through an abstraction layer that abstracts low level details of the hardware DFx. In addition, the abstraction layer through an interface, such as APIs, provides services, routines, and data structures to higher-level software/presentation layers, which are able to collect test data for validation and debug of a unit/platform under test. Moreover, the architecture potentially provides tiered (multiple levels of) secure access to the test architecture. Additionally, physical access to the test architecture for a platform may be simplified through use of a unified, bi-directional test access port, while also potentially allowing remote access to perform remote test and debug of a part/platform under test. In essence, a complete test architecture stack is described herein for test, validation, and debug of electronic parts, devices, and platforms.

Title: Plug case and socket with magnetic engagement
Inventor: CARDEW GERARD MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: H01R11/30
Filed: 2012-10-10
Abstract: A plug case and socket arrangement 10 using magnetic engagement prevents damage to the connectors and associated devices through disconnection by inadvertent movement (e.g. when a patient is moved in a hospital). The plug case 14 has a convex or concave engaging surface 24 that engages a complementary concave or convex receiving surface 25 of the socket 50 upon connection. The plug case 14 has a first magnetic arrangement 20 (e.g. a pair of magnets) and the socket 50 has a second magnetic arrangement 58 configured to inhibit disconnection of the plug case 14 and socket 50. The plug case 14 and socket 50 are disconnected by rolling the engagement surface 24 of the plug case 14 over at least a part of the receiving surface 25 of the socket 50. The plug case 14 is adapted to receive and secure a cable 16 attached to a first electrical connector 18 that connects with a second electrical connector 54 disposed in the socket 50 when the plug case 14 and socket 50 are connected. The complementary convex and concave surfaces allow the plug case 14 and socket 50 to be disconnected from one another without excessive force and in a relatively smooth motion.

Title: A photon detector and a photon detection method
Inventor: FROHLICH BERND MATTHIAS
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2013-04-26
Abstract: A light signal frequency is provided to a photon source 24 and detection module 20, possibly by a master clock 120. A photon detector 17 is provided comprising a gated single photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) photon detector. This may be sinusoidally gated independently and/or at a faster rate than the SPAD so that photons would not be expected during certain gated periods. This may also be controlled by the master clock 120. The module 20 distinguishes between pulses occurring during gating when photons are expected and during gating periods when photons are not expected, for example using a NAND gate or switching mechanism. The detector may be used to help distinguish dark counts or afterpulses for quantum key distribution.
