Title: Call stack maintenance for a transactional data processing execution mode
Inventor: HORSNELL MATTHEW JAMES
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2014-07-15
Abstract: A processor which maintains a call stack (Figure 2C) in dependence on executed data processing instructions (Figure 2A) is configured to operate in a transactional execution mode when the instructions seek access to a stored data item which is shared with a further processor. When the processor enters its transactional execution mode it stores a copy of the current stack depth indication, which may be a stack pointer, and while in this mode further modifications to the call stack have their relative stacking position determined with respect to this stored stack depth indication. If the relative stacking position is in a positive stack growth direction with respect to the stored copy, the modification to the call stack is labelled as non-speculative. Conversely, if the relative stacking position is not in a positive growth direction, then the modification is labelled as speculative. This facilitates a reduction in the size of the write-set associated with maintaining the call stack whilst in transactional execution mode. If a transaction abort occurs, a rollback procedure may be performed for a pending transaction that has failed to complete.

Title: Glove touch detection
Inventor: BENBASAT ARI Y
IPC: G06F3/044
Filed: 2015-05-11
Abstract: This invention aims to overcome the problem of a touch device, such as a tablet computer, being able to detect that the user is touching it even if their hands are covered by, for example gloves or a bandage. It works by first identifying a patch of the screen and then computing the signal density for that patch 500. It then determines if the signal density exceeds a given threshold 505, and if so then determines that the user it touching the device 510. The threshold is also dynamically adjusted based on one or recent contacts. If the signal density is below the threshold, then it may also determine if the signal is stable for a given period of time 515. If it is then it will determine that the user is touching the device.
