Title: Indirect branch prediction
Inventor: JACKSON HUGH
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2013-12-18
Abstract: A processor has a relative indirect branch instruction. The target address of the instruction is the current program counter, plus the value stored in a register indicated in the instruction. When the processor executes the instruction, it flags the register as a monitored register. Whenever a monitored register is modified, the new value is stored in a register table in the processors branch predictor. When another relative branch instruction is fetched, the processor checks if the value of the register used is stored in the table. If so, the branch predictor pre-calculates the target address. The table may store a valid flag, a use counter and a confidence level for each entry. The counter may count the number of times the register associated with the table entry has been used to predict the branch target. The branch instructions may have been produced by compiling a switch or case statement.

Title: Receiver circuitry and method for converting an input signal from a source voltage domain into an output signal for a destination voltage domain
Inventor: DEY RANABIR
IPC: H03K19/0185
Filed: 2014-07-30
Abstract: A CMOS receiver operates from the same voltage DVDD (which may be 1.8 V, 2.5 V or 3.3 V) as the circuit from which input signals are received at node 50, the various gate tracking circuits PGT and NGT allowing the use of 1.8 V transistors throughout. The intermediate node voltages at the gates of the transistors 235 and 230 follow the input signal respectively in higher and lower sub-ranges of the input signal voltage range, but are clamped outside these sub-ranges (figure 6) to protect the devices 235 and 230 from overvoltage. The REFP reference voltage is set equal to DVDD minus a fixed voltage. A good noise margin between logic level threshold voltages VIH and VIL levels may be obtained at all values of DVDD. The noise margin may be further improved by enabling the hysteresis circuits 300 and 315. The pull-up of nodes A and D0, which is achieved by device 265 in response to the fall of node 245, may be accelerated by circuit 285 which responds to the fall of node 250.

Patent GB-2532541-A (GB)
Title: Depth map generation
Inventor: HUIXUAN TANG
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2015-08-03
Abstract: Depth maps are generated from two or more of images captured with a conventional digital camera from the same viewpoint using different configuration settings, which may be arbitrarily selected for each image. The configuration settings may include aperture and focus settings and/or other configuration settings capable of introducing blur into an image. The depth of a selected image patch is evaluated over a set of discrete depth hypotheses using a depth likelihood function modelled to analyze corresponding images patches convolved with blur kernels using a flat prior in the frequency domain. In this way, the depth likelihood function may be evaluated without first reconstructing an all-in-focus image. Blur kernels used in the depth likelihood function are identified from a mapping of depths and configuration settings to the blur kernels. This mapping is determined from calibration data for the digital camera used to capture the two or more images.

Title: Protection of switched capacitor power converter
Inventor: LOW AICHEN
IPC: H02M3/07
Filed: 2013-12-30
Abstract: Transient or fault conditions for a switched capacitor power converter are detected by measuring one or more of internal voltages and/or currents associated with switching elements (e.g., transistors) or phase nodes, or voltages or currents at terminals of the converter, and based on these measurements detect that a condition has occurred when the measurements deviate from a predetermined range. Upon detection of the condition fault control circuitry alters operation of the converter, for example, by using a high voltage switch to electrically disconnect at least some of the switching elements from one or more terminals of the converter, or by altering timing characteristics of the phase signals.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises: a) separating first ions or components of an analyte sample according to a physicochemical property other than ion mobility, e.g. by chromatography; b) separating the first ions or second ions formed from the components according to ion mobility; c) detecting the intensities of the first ions, the second ions formed from the components or ions, and recording the intensity of the ions detected at any given time together with an associated value of the physicochemical property and the ion mobility to obtain spectral data; d) examining the intensities of the spectral data as a function of the ion mobility to detect an intensity peak, determining a discrete value of ion mobility for the peak, and defining a window of values of ion mobility that encompasses the discrete value; and e) filtering the spectral data to include only spectral data that has been associated with values of ion mobility within the window of ion mobility values. The invention may enable data to be removed that may otherwise obscure or interfere with the intensity peaks displayed as a function of the physicochemical property (e.g. intensity vs. chromatographic retention time).

Title: Slip with altering load distribution feature
Inventor: MEADOR CHARLES M
IPC: E21B23/01
Filed: 2014-04-14
Abstract: A liner hanger has slips held by a slip body. A potential energy force to move the slips axially when the hanger is in position is selectively released. The slips move axially and radially outwardly guided on opposed edges by the slip body. The slip faces have wickers that dig into the surrounding casing that will support a liner string off the slips. Weight is set down to bring the housing into contact with the top of the slips that are already engaged to the surrounding casing. The nature of the loading between the slips and the casing changes from a radial reaction force from the casing going into the slip and then distributed circumferentially to the slip housing to an essentially axial loading of the slip housing down onto the slip that has penetrated the casing with an opposite reaction force in the casing wall.
