Title: Method of game-play control incorporating wireless remote control
Inventor: GROVE LUKE ROY
IPC: A63F9/14
Filed: 2011-12-13
Abstract: A game playing apparatus comprises game-playing area mat 9, remotely controlled toy vehicles 7, user input devices 5 and a central processing unit 3. The toy vehicles 5 are controlled by control signals being wirelessly sent thereto from the central processing unit 3, which control signals are partly determined by inputs to the user input devices 5 and partly by game-play factors. Bi-directional communication between the central processing unit 3 and the toy vehicles 7 may be by the use of radio transceivers (11, figure 2) or by the use of inductive coupling. When using inductive coupling for communications the main coil 2 may surround the playing area and limit the game-play to within the play area. The play area may include game-play data tags 8, each with unique ID. The tags 8 are powered by and communicate with the vehicles when in close proximity. Data is fed from a tag 8, via the vehicle 7, to the central processor 3, allowing tracking of vehicles and control of game-play dependent on tag ID. The data tags 8 may be embedded in a non-conductive mat 9 at key game-play related locations. The mat 9 may be removable, allowing for easy substitution of different game-play scenarios. The use of a centralised processor 3 as the main control point allows for seamless transfer of control from one vehicle to another. This allows for continuous game-play, even during in-game recharging of the vehicles    rechargeable batteries.

Title: Hardware monitor with context selector for selecting from multiple contexts
Inventor: TRIMMER MARK
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2011-12-16
Abstract: A hardware or fetch monitor (5) comprises a register (160) configured to store at least two contexts (161) and a context change value (sysaddr) and a context selector configured to select at least one of the two contexts for context monitoring dependent on determining the context change value matching a first part of a memory access address (101 & 103). Preferably each of the contexts is associated with an identifier value such that the context selector selects one of the contexts on the identifier matching a second part of the memory address. Each context may comprise an instruction region, a data read region and a data write region. The monitor may also receive a supervisor mode indicator (107) indicating if a CPU is operating in a supervisor mode. In operation the monitor compares the memory address against a selected context and if it is outside the context generates a system interrupt (109). Advantages of the system are described as controlling the resetting of system, to prevent hacking of the system, illegal data accessing of the system or insertion of a virus or other unwanted code.
Patent GB-2498937-A (GB)
Title: A high data rate SerDes receiver arranged to receive input from a low data rate SerDes transmitter
Inventor: ROBERTSON IAIN
IPC: H03M9/00
Filed: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A second order 10GHz SerDes receiver is arranged to handle signals from a 100MHz SerDes transmitter. The receiver effectively oversamples the low speed serial input data to recover frames of equal repeated bits, and a bit realignment of the frame (a jog) is effected when a bit disparity is detected in the received frame. The second order circuitry of the receiver imposes a drift which is greater than any expected drift or jitter in the serial data, the resulting unidirectional drift being suitable for correction by the advancing jog function which is the only jog function available in typical SerDes arrangements. The technique overcomes the effective multiplication of jitter by the large data rate that is often encountered when interfacing with older equipment.
