Title: Methods, systems and apparatuses for emulating an x-ray scanning machine
Inventor: CLARKE ANDREW
IPC: G09B19/00
Filed: 2013-04-26
Abstract: A method for emulating an X-ray scanning machine of the type used at an airport to screen for prohibited items (208, figure 2) carried in baggage (210, figure 2) or cargo. The method comprises receiving raw X-ray image data for a scanned object and processing this data to identify different types of material in the scanned object. Intermediate image data is then generated that encodes the types of material identified at the processing step and is received by an emulator application. At the emulator 404, the user selects an X-ray machine to be emulated, selected from a group comprising at least two different types of X-ray machines, each X-ray machine using a different representation scheme for generating images from raw X-ray image data. Simulated image data is then displayed on the selected X-ray machine. The emulator (604, figure 6) may be a web-based client (602, figure 6), web-browser plug-in, or implemented as an application for a smartphone or tablet. A pre-processing unit (606, figure 6) for processing raw X-ray data prior to being received at the emulator is also disclosed.

Title: Dynamically controlling a maximum operating voltage for a processor
Inventor: WANG ZHIGOU
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2014-01-29
Abstract: A processor includes a plurality of cores, non-volatile storage 210 storing coefficients 212 and voltage calculation 220 logic to calculate a plurality of maximum operating voltage values each associated with a number of active cores of the plurality of cores, based at least in part on the coefficient values. The maximum voltage values 232 may be calculated as part of the processors initialisation and stored in a lookup table 230 associated with the number of active cores. Voltage determination logic 240 may consult the lookup table 230 based on the number of active cores and other operational parameters such as temperature, power consumption, electric design point (EDP) or thermal design point (TDP) to determine a voltage identifier (VID) to supply to a voltage regulator. The voltage determination logic can determine the VID to be the maximum voltage corresponding to the number of active cores or a lower voltage based on the maximum voltage and the other operational parameters. The processor may be operated at a higher maximum voltage when only one core is active thereby eliminating Vmax headroom so as to equalise the gate oxide failure rate regardless of the number of active cores.

Title: Method for monitoring the displacement of a mobile node in a communication system
Inventor: CAILLERIE ALAIN
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2014-04-07
Abstract: There is provided a method for monitoring the displacement of a mobile node 130 in a communication system, the mobile node communicating wirelessly with a plurality of fixed nodes 140 of the communication system, and the mobile node moving between a plurality of rest positions P. The mobile node transmits a monitoring signal (which may be intermittent) which is received by the fixed nodes; this allows the fixed nodes to determine when the mobile node has reached or left a particular rest position. The monitoring signal transmitted by the mobile node is modified, for an energy saving period, between the rest positions. The modification may be an increase in the period of the intermittent transmission of the monitoring signal, a reduction in the power of the monitoring signal, an increase in the transmission period or a combination of these. The energy saving period is selected to be smaller than upon the minimum transit time between rest positions. The mobile node may be a HD camera transmitting uncompressed image data to the fixed nodes using a millimetre radio waves (i.e. 60GHz or terahertz communication).

Title: Setting start voltage for driving actuating elements
Inventor: JAMES EDWARD DAVID MARCHANT
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 2014-09-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus to operate a printhead comprises: providing actuation pulses for driving actuating elements from a common drive waveform via respective switching circuits, the waveform having a pre-charge ramp followed by a steeper slope; setting a start voltage of a leading edge of the actuation pulse by opening 35 the switching circuit to decouple the waveform from its actuating element part way along the pre-charge ramp; after the pre-charge ramp the actuating element is coupled again to the common drive waveform, so that the voltage across the actuating element follows the waveform steeper slope to form the leading edge. Adjusting the timing of the decoupling adjusts the start voltage, enables trimming relative to other actuating elements. The gentle slope of the pre-charge ramp enables the precision of timing of switching to be more relaxed, so that trigger circuitry for controlling the switching circuit can be simpler, smaller, cheaper and thermally more efficient.

Title: Network identification as a service
Inventor: Tanya May Field
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2015-10-14
Abstract: Certain examples described herein make use of an intermediate network device (110) in a service provider network (104) to enable the modification of network requests to provide enhanced functionality. These examples use a rotating network identifier that is inserted into a network request that is receivable by a server device (108) located outside of the service provider network (104). An association between the network identifier and data originating from the service provider network may be effected via a mapping that exists for the predefined time period. In certain examples, a data broker (114) is introduced within the telecommunications network (100). The data broker (114) may be configured based on the aforementioned mapping between the network identifier and data originating from the service provider network. The data broker is adapted to use the mapping to provide data to the server device (108). This may be considered network identification as a service as the data broker (114) is configured to supply data originating from within the service provider network as a computing service to the server device (108).
