Title: Turbine control method
Inventor: MATTHEW HARRISON
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2015-01-28
Abstract: A method of controlling operation of a turbine comprises setting a value of optimal mode gain for turbine operation, monitoring (36) one or more of a plurality of sensors, or other data sources and determining a change in data received from the one or more sensors, or the other data sources. Values are obtained (38) for one or more control parameters from stored data in response to the change in data received from the one or more sensors, or other data sources and the value of optimal mode gain set is modified (39) according to the obtained values. In operation the recalculated optimal mode gain is used by the controller to change the generator torque to ensure maximum power coefficient is achieved in the operating conditions identified. The controller may monitor data input to determine further changes in operating conditions and to allow torque to be further adjusted.

Title: Graphics processing systems
Inventor: NIKUNJ PATEL
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2015-10-26
Abstract: First bounding volume 20 (e.g. convex volume) represents a scene to be rendered. When rendering, intersection position 27 for a vector 24 with the first volume is established by determining the intersection position 51 of the vector on a second (e.g. simpler volume partially bounding and/or partially bounded by the first) bounding volume 50 associated with the first. The determined position provides information indicating the first volume / vector intersection position, the information then being used to determine the vector / first volume intersection position. Reflection effects, e.g. from reflective surface 21, as seen from viewpoint (camera) position 22 can be determined from the vector / first volume intersection position. Initially determining a vector / simpler volume intersection position, then using that information to determine the intersection with a related, more complex volume (rather than directly determining the complex volume / vector intersection), is computationally less expensive. Also disclosed is generating a graphics texture comprising a texel array by setting the values for each texel to be indicative of an intersection on a first bounding volume for a vector for a particular combination of the position on a second bounding volume associated with the first volume intersected by the vector and the vector direction.

Title: Configuring power management functionality in a processor
Inventor: MALINI K BHANDARU
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2013-06-27
Abstract: A processor with multiple cores (120-a to 120-n) to independently execute instructions. The single power domain indicator indicates whether multiple cores are treated as a single power domain to operate at a common performance state. A voltage regulator independently provides a regulated voltage to cores that enables multiple cores to be an independent power domain. A power controller causes the voltage regulator to provide a different regulated voltage to the core to operate at the independent performance state. The single power domain indicator indicates whether multiple cores are treated as a single power domain to operate at a common performance state, thus reduces the amount of logic that may be present on integrated circuit devices. The processor comprises multiple cores to independently execute instructions, thus reduces the consumption of the energy by hardware, and also reduces temperature, and hence increase overall system performance with both voltage and frequency modification. The processor maybe a system on a chip with additional voltage regulators formed on a single semiconductor die to enable different domains in the cores, or processor circuitry external to the cores.

Title: Method of recovering waste hard alloy
Inventor: ZUOREN NIE
IPC: C25C3/34
Filed: 2014-07-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for recovering waste hard alloy. According to the method, the waste hard alloy is used as an anode to directly perform electrolysis in a fused salt. The method comprises the following steps: 1) carrying out vacuum dehydration by using a fused salt dielectric; 2) by using the waste hard alloy as the anode and an inert electrode as the cathode, electrolyzing in the molten fused salt dielectric at 350-1000 ℃; and 3) separating and collecting the metal powder and fused salt dielectric after electrolysis. According to the technical solution of the present invention, tungsten and cobalt ions can directly dissolve out of the anode material-waste hard alloy to enter the fused salt dielectric, and deposit on the cathode plate under the driving action of the electrolysis voltage, thereby the metal powder granules are obtained. The tungsten, cobalt and other product materials obtained by electrolysis can be used as hard alloy materials, high-temperature structure materials, weapon materials, photocatalytic materials and the like, and are applicable to the fields of production processing, aerospace, war industry, environmental energy sources and the like. The method has the advantages of short technical process, no discharge of solid/liquid/gas waste and environmental friendliness.
