Title: System and method for distributing content data to user devices
Inventor: PRAKASHAN SUTTON
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: A server sends content data to at least one wireless access point wherein the wireless access point stores the content data. The wireless access point establishes a wireless connection with at least one user device when the user device moves into range of the wireless access point. A page request process is invoked on the user device thereby causing the user device to send a page request to the wireless access point. The wireless access point sends the content data to the user device in response to the page request from the user device. The page request process may be captive portal process. The content data may be sent from the wireless access point to the user device whilst the wireless access point is disconnected from the server. The content may include video content data of a first format and the video content data may be transcoded, at the wireless access point, to generate a video content data of a second format. The content data may be a web page.

Title: Simultaneous operation of multiple time division duplex links
Inventor: Nicholas McDonnell
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2015-08-06
Abstract: This application discloses a mobile device which uses a first time division duplexing (TDD) communication link at the same time as a second TDD communication link. Crucially, one of the communication links transmits at the same time as the other is receiving. Preferably, they transmit on alternate time slots. The first and second communication links may have different radio frequencies from each other. Indeed, the invention may be used to provide TDD inter-band carrier-aggregation (See Fig. 9). Alternatively, each communication link may be associated with a different radio access technology (RAT), e.g. TD-SCDMA and LTE (See Figs. 7 and 8). One of the links may be used to deal with GSM paging communications (see Fig. 6). The invention may implement multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) diversity communication. In this implementation two antennas 1208b, 1208c may be used to receive downlink data at the same time as a third antenna 1208a is being used to transmit uplink data.

Title: Task assembly for SIMD processing
Inventor: Andrea Sansottera
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 2016-03-07
Abstract: A graphics processing system (300) cache (336) stores graphics data items for use in rendering primitives (317). It is determined whether items relating to primitives to be rendered are present in the cache. A plurality of task entries are stored for respective tasks to which computation instances (CI) (e.g. shading & data items) can be allocated in a task assembly unit (340) of the system, the CI being for generating graphics data items which are not present in the cache. The task entries indicate which CI have been allocated to the respective tasks, and the task entries are associated with characteristics (e.g. shader type, state) of CI which can be allocated to respective tasks. A computation instance to be executed is allocated to a task based on the computation instance characteristics. SIMD processing logic (346) executes CI of a task outputted from the task assembly unit to thereby determine graphics data items for storage in the cache, which are used in primitive rendering. Tasks are thereby efficiently arranged using CI allowing parallel execution by a SIMD processor because they have compatible characteristics (e.g. common shader type and compatible states), avoiding inefficient premature flushing of tasks.

Title: Peak current limiting in inductor-based power converter
Inventor: UMAR JAMEER LYLES
IPC: H02M3/156
Filed: 2016-06-19
Abstract: A combination of inductor current thresholds and circuitry for controlling the inductor based on the thresholds may be implemented in a power converter. One or more of the inductor current thresholds may be variable. An inductor current threshold may be varied as part of a search algorithm for identifying a value resulting in full scale operation of the inductor without exceeding a safe limit. After each cycle of the power converter, circuitry may determine which current thresholds have been exceeded and which have not been exceeded and then generate indication signals for each of the thresholds. Control logic may receive the indication signals and adjust one of the inductor current thresholds used to determine timing for disconnecting and reconnecting current through the inductor of the power converter.
