Title: An apparatus and method for providing decoded instructions
Inventor: Eddy Lapeyre
IPC: G06F12/0875
Filed: 2018-10-05
Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus 20 for providing decoded instructions to execution units 40 in a processor. The apparatus has fetch circuitry 10 for fetching instructions from memory, the instructions from a fetch granule of P instructions from sequential addresses in the memory. The instructions are then decoded by decode circuitry 25 to produce decoded instructions to be stored in a decoded instruction cache 50 and then executed by the execution circuitry. The decoded instruction cache has a set of cache lines, that are arranged to store decoded instructions from the fetch granule allocated to that cache block. When an instruction is to be executed and the corresponding decoded instruction is determined to be already stored in the decoded instruction cache, then the decoded instruction from the cache is output. The apparatus also has allocation circuitry 45 to allocate cache blocks for storing the decoded instructions. When a cache block is already allocated for existing decoded instructions from a particular fetch granule due to a first path through the fetch granule being taken, then if additional decoded instructions from that fetch granule are produced by the decode circuitry due to a second path different to the first path being taken through the fetch granule, the already allocated cache block is updated to provide both the existing and the additional decoded instructions.

IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 2019-07-08
Abstract: A system for producing a syngas, the system comprising a gas mixer for receiving a gas mixture comprising oxygen; a gasifier, for gasification, using the gas mixture, of input fuel comprising feedstock such as a hydrocarbon, to produce syngas; means for cooling the syngas; a scrubber for scrubbing the syngas to remove carbon dioxide from the producer gas; means for capturing carbon dioxide from the removed carbon dioxide; and means for circulating the captured carbon dioxide to the means for cooling, wherein, the means for cooling are configured to cool the syngas using the captured carbon dioxide, thereby heating the captured carbon dioxide. Removal and recovery of CO2 from the syngas is used for the purpose of increasing the concentration of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the resultant syngas. Using the recovered CO2 as a coolant to cool the syngas, serving the dual purpose of cooling syngas and preheating the CO2, is safer and more efficient than preheating air or oxygen because there is no consequence to a failure of the heat exchanger tubes. The preheated CO2 may be mixed with an enriched oxygen stream.

Title: One-time pad generation
Inventor: ROY SILVA WIKRAMARATNA
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2020-01-28
Abstract: A method of generating a one-time pad (OTP) for use in encryption comprises determining a seed sequence (Y00 … Y0l, fig. 1) and an ordered set of initial values (Y10 … Yk0, fig. 1) and, for each initial value, computing a sequence of terms. Each term of the sequence is computed by combining at least one other term of that sequence with at least one term of a previous sequence using modular arithmetic, the previous sequence being the sequence generated for the previous initial value or, in the case of the first initial value, the seed sequence (e.g. Ymn = (Ym-1,n + Ym,n-1) mod M). A final sequence (Yk0 … Ykl, fig. 1) may be called a full ACORN sequence and is possibly produced by ACORN generator 150. Each term Ykn of the final sequence is processed (e.g. by retaining only p leading bits 202) to determine a pseudorandom number x having a smaller bit length than the processed term, thereby generating a sequence of reduced pseudorandom numbers. The one-time pad comprises or is derived from this reduced sequence for encrypting a sequence of symbols by transforming each symbol of the sequence with a corresponding element of the one-time pad.
