Title: Decoding a bayer-mask or like coded image
Inventor: MICHAEL JAMES KNEE
IPC: H04N9/04
Filed: 2017-02-17
Abstract: Demosaicing or decoding a Bayer-mask or like coded image by deriving from the coded image an array having for a selected colour a value at each pixel of the image; calculating from the array a colour difference signal at each of the pixels associated with other colours; deriving a first full-resolution grid of each colour difference signal using a first interpolation filter; deriving a second full-resolution grid of each colour difference signal using a second interpolation filter taking a larger number of colour difference signal inputs than the first; generating a cross-colour weighting signal having a value at each pixel; and forming a mixed colour difference signal from the first and second full-resolution grids in accordance with a cross-colour suppression signal derived from the cross-colour weighting signal. Preferably the selected colour is green and the other colours are red and blue. The cross-colour suppression signal formation may comprise measuring the variance of the cross-colour weighting signal along a specified axis within a rolling window of pixels and preferably multiplying this by a local activity measure. The local activity measure may be obtained by applying a spatial filter to the absolute value of a spatial gradient at each pixel.

Title: Invalidation of a target realm in a realm hierarchy
Inventor: JASON PARKER
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2017-06-28
Abstract: An apparatus has processing circuitry (8, fig 1) for performing data processing in response to software processes and memory access circuitry (26; fig 1) for enforcing ownership rights for memory regions. A given memory region is associated with an owner realm specified from a multiple realms with each realm corresponding to a portion of at least one software process. The owner realm has a right to exclude other realms from accessing data stored in the given memory region (including realms executed at a higher privilege level). The realms are managed according to a realm hierarchy in which each realm other than a root realm is a child realm initialized in response to a command triggered by its parent realm. In response to an invalidation command 212, a realm management unit (20; fig 1) makes the target realm and any descendant realm of the target realm inaccessible to the processing circuitry 8.

Title: Access to Integrated Access Backhaul
Inventor: CAROLINE JACTAT
IPC: H04W80/02
Filed: 2018-04-05
Abstract: A network protocol of a transmitting entity and a receiving entity of a Radio Access Network (RAN) are initially unknown to one another. A first entity of the transmitting entity or the receiving entity provides an indicator to the other entity indicative of the network protocol of the first entity. The other entity is enabled to recognise the network protocol of the first entity from the indicator and then operates in accordance with the indicated network protocol when in communication with the first entity. The indicator may be based on a layer structure of the different protocols and the indicator may be based on a layer structure difference which is indicated to the other entity. For instance this difference may be indicating that one entity supports the Service Data Adaption Protocol (SDAP) layer. The indicator may be in the form of a header which specifies whether a later structure is absent or present in the protocol of one of the entities. One protocol may be LTE © or New Radio (NR).

Title: Medical sensor
Inventor: DAVID ALEXANDER BERNSTEIN
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: The probability of a seizure occurring in the imminent future is determined based on measurements of core body temperature and heart rate variability (HRV). A first one of the parameters is monitored and a change or deviation from normal values leads to a determination of a first probability of seizure. A change or deviation in the second parameter leads to a modification of the first probability to determine a second probability of seizure. Alternatively a single probability based on both parameters may be generated. An alarm may be raised when probabilities exceed a threshold. The combination of measurements allows the ruling out of false positives, and enhanced certainty that the conclusion is correct, giving a user advanced warning of imminent seizure. The system may be wearable, for example incorporated into a garment such as a vest (figs. 2 & 6). The system may communicate with a mobile phone 8, which may or may not be used for data processing.

Title: Two part bonded seal for static downhole tool applications
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL PELTO
IPC: F16J15/46
Filed: 2018-09-17
Abstract: A seal assembly and methods of use, wherein the seal assembly is formed of an elastomeric enclosure within which a primary cavity is defined. A second cavity in the form of a crushable container is deployed within the primary chamber. An elastomeric compound is contained in one cavity and an elastomeric hardener contained in the other cavity. Upon application of an external force to the elastomeric enclosure, the enclosure is elastically deformed from a first shape to a second shape, wherein the second shape positions the elastomeric enclosure into a sealing configuration between adjacent annular surfaces. The external force also crushes the container, to cause mixing of the elastomeric compound and elastomeric hardener. Once the reaction is complete, the hardened compound retains the deformed shape of the elastomeric enclosure to maintain a seal between the annular surfaces.
