Title: Wet Electrolytic Capacitor Comprising Alkyl-substituted Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)
Inventor: BILER MARTIN
IPC: H01G9/035
Filed: 2013-03-07
Abstract: A wet electrolytic capacitor that contains an anodically oxidized porous anode body, a cathode containing a metal substrate coated with a conductive coating, and a working electrolyte that wets the dielectric on the anode. The conductive coating contains an alkyl-substituted poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) having specific structure. Further disclosed is a method for forming a cathode of a wet electrolytic capacitor, comprising applying a colloidal suspension of the monomer precursor of the above mentioned polythiophene structure, a surfactant and a solvent to a metal substrate of titanium or tantalum; placing an electrode in contact with the metal substrate; and supplying a current to the electrode to induce electrolysis and oxidative polymerisation of the monomer into the above mentioned polythiophene structure. Such polymers can result in a higher degree of capacitance than many conventional types of coating materials. Further, because the polymers are generally semi-crystalline or amorphous, they can dissipate and/or absorb the heat associated with the high voltage. The degree of surface contact between the conductive coating and the surface of the metal substrate may also be enhanced in the present invention by selectively controlling the manner in which the conductive coating is formed.

Title: Operand generation in at least one processing pipeline
Inventor: CAULFIELD IAN MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2013-06-10
Abstract: A data processor has a pipeline for processing instructions. The output from a first instruction in the pipeline is used as an input to a second instruction in the pipeline. The processor replaces the second instruction with a combined instruction, which produces the same output as performing the two instructions in sequence. This output is independent of the execution of the first instruction. The first instruction may generate a base address for the second instruction. The second instruction may include an address offset. The combined base address and offset may be too long to fit in an architected instruction of the processor. The later instruction may be a load, store, arithmetic or logical operation. The first instruction may be executed if it has already issued or if another instruction depends on its result. Otherwise, it may be removed from the instruction stream.

Title: Image processing methods, and image processing devices and system for a scalable multi-projection system
Inventor: HOUEROU BRICE LE
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2013-11-12
Abstract: An image processing device (IPD) (102, 103) for use in a multi-display system in which an image (130) comprised of a plurality of sub-images (131, 132) is displayed by a plurality of display devices (111, 113) each of which has an associated IPD connected to a source device (100) through a first network (140) and connected to other IPDs through a second network (150.) Each IPD receives a sub-image from the source device and determines a part of the received image that is adjacent to sub-images received by the other IPDs. The determined adjacent sub-image parts are sent to the relevant IPDs using the second network. Each IPD receives the determined adjacent sub-image part and generates a clustered sub-image made up of the received sub-image and the received adjacent sub-image part. This clustered sub-image is displayed on the associated display device. Thus only the sub-image is transmitted to each IPD the processing power of each IPD is used to determine the overlap between its sub-image and an adjacent sub-image. This reduces the bandwidth needed by the source network and reduces the complexity of the image processing that is done at each IPD associated with a given display device
Patent GB-2520692-A (GB)
Title: Method and device for data communication in an ad-hoc wireless network
Inventor: VIGER PASCAL
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2013-11-27
Abstract: The invention relates to data communication over an ad-hoc wireless network. A source sends data to a receiver using a sliding window protocol. The receiver delays acknowledgment of the received data to prevent, for a predetermined delay duration, the source from requesting access to the network. The receiver determines a time from which it decides to authorize the source to send new data. The receiver acknowledges a subset of received data to the source at the determined time within a transmission opportunity TXOP, so as to release the source's transmission blocking constraint due to the sliding window protocol. The receiver allocates the source with a transmission period following the acknowledgment in TXOP, for the source to send the new data. A size of the subset is less than a size of the allocated transmission period, to ensure the source remains blocked from new transmission at the end of TXOP.
