Title: 360 degree dual lens camera
Inventor: TIM DENHOLM
IPC: G03B37/04
Filed: 2017-02-18
Abstract: A 360 degree dual camera has at least one camera which has a main lens comprising an outboard negative lens (e.g. a negative meniscus lens) to provide a notional field of view, and outboard of this the camera has a further positive lens (e.g. a positive meniscus lens), spaced therefrom so as to provide a reduced field of view, such that the cameras as a whole have fields of view that border or overlap to provide a field of view covering substantially all directions. Along the boundaries of the field of view of the two cameras, the viewing directions of the two cameras are not only parallel, but also are comparatively closer together, such that in the stitched images, any distortions of nearby objects caused by the stitching process are comparatively reduced.

Title: An apparatus and method for controlling execution of instructions
Inventor: GRAEME PETER BARNES
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2017-07-04
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling execution of certain instructions. The apparatus has processing circuitry to execute a sequence of instructions, an integer storage element to store an integer value for access by the processing circuitry, and a capability storage element for storing a capability for access by the processing circuitry. A capability usage storage is then used to store capability usage information. The processing circuitry is responsive to execution of at least one instruction in the sequence of instructions to generate, in dependence on the capability usage information, a result to be stored in a destination storage element. In particular, when the capability usage information identifies a capability state, the result is generated as a capability, for example as a bounded pointer, and the capability storage element is selected as the destination storage element. Conversely, when the capability usage information identifies a non-capability state, the result is generated as an integer value, and the integer storage element is selected as the destination storage element. This allows both capability and non-capability generating variants of an instruction to be specified, without requiring separate instructions to be provided within the instruction set.

Title: Vehicle sensor calibration using wireless network-connected sensors
Inventor: GOPICHANDRA SURNILLA
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2017-11-15
Abstract: Sensors 110 on a vehicle are calibrated when the vehicle is detected as proximate to a facility 102 such as a garage. The facility has a wireless network 107 and sensors 104a which measure the same parameters as the sensors 110 on the vehicle but which may have higher accuracy. Measurements from the sensors 104a at the facility are communicated to the vehicle over the network and used by a sensor manager 118 to calibrate or recalibrate the sensors 110. The estimated accuracy of the sensors at the facility may also be transferred to the vehicle and recalibration may only be performed if the estimated accuracy is higher than the accuracy of the vehicle sensor. The calibration may be offset, gain, value substitution, transfer function shift or sweep calibration. The sensors may be humidity, temperature, pressure, air quality, ambient light or rain sensors.

IPC: H02J50/20
Filed: 2018-08-08
Abstract: Wireless power receiver circuits and methods for use in wireless power transfer systems are provided for providing a constant current or voltage, depending on which is needed, to an electrical load 21. The wireless power receiver circuits 22 are configured to shut down the resonant responses of the receiver circuits 22 through the use of a comparator 33 when electrical power is not needed by the load 21 to reduce power consumption and avoid unnecessary heat dissipation. Additionally, a switching device 26 of the wireless power receiver circuit that is used for shutting down the resonant response can operate at relatively low frequencies, and can be implemented using relatively low-speed, inexpensive components. The comparator circuit 33 may exhibit a preset amount of hysteresis that determines the amount below the reference voltage signal VREF that switch 26 is opened at.
