Title: Cache arrangement with data pre-fetching requests having different quality of services
Inventor: JONES ANDREW MICHAEL
IPC: G06F12/0802
Filed: 2011-07-28
Abstract: A cache arrangement 12 supports pre-fetching, such as data, via interface 6 with cache memory controller comprising: a pre-fetch requester configured to issue pre-fetch requests, each pre-fetch request having one of a plurality of different quality of services. This may be achieved by placing each pre-fetch request in one of a plurality of queues 19 each of which is associated with a different quality of service. The quality of service may be based upon addresses of data accesses, the identity of an initiator of the request or information included within the request. In the event that a cache miss occurs for the same address as a pending pre-fetch operation control register 40 is configured to compare the quality of service of the cache miss and pre-fetch; if the cache miss has a higher quality of service than the pre-fetch it is allowed through and the response to the pre-fetch is suppressed later but if the quality of service of the cache miss is the same or lower than the pre-fetch request then the cache miss is suppressed.

Title: Intruder alarm system incorporating at least one passive infrared sensor and at least one microwave sensor
Inventor: FENNER MARTIN JAMES HAINES
IPC: G08B29/18
Filed: 2012-08-01
Abstract: An intruder alarm system comprises a first housing 2a containing a first sensor 4a, and a second housing 2b containing a second sensor 4b.

Title: Apparatus and method for processing sequence of data element
Inventor: TANAKA NOBUYOSHI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A process performed using a CAM when an error is not generated in the data stored in the CAM, can be continued even if an error is generated in the data stored in the CAM. An input character code is provided to a compressed data path and a non-compressed data path. In the compressed data path, a repeat data retrieval circuit (21) outputs a coincident address of a character string in the CAM and a character string coincident signal which indicates the coincidence of the character string in the CAM. On the other hand, in the non-compressed data path, flip-flops (1001 to 1004) send the character code without any changes. A selector (98) outputs the coincident address and the number of consecutive outputs of the character string coincident signals from the compressed data path if a parity error signal is not output from the repeat data retrieval circuit (21) and the number of consecutive outputs of the character string coincident signals is three or greater, and if not, outputs the character code from the non-compressed data path.
