Filed: 2016-03-02
Abstract: A data processing system (2 in Figure 1) may operate at a plurality of exception levels ELx (Figure 2) or privilege levels, and support the use of protected execution environments. A register bank (16 in Figure 1) contains registers 48 having associated ownership variables which may indicate an owning exception level. Register access control circuitry (30 in Figure 1) is responsive to the ownership values for respective registers to control access to those registers by processing circuitry (14 in Figure 1) in dependence upon the ownership values. Target constrained data transfer operations (Figure 6) and associated program instructions, such as blind load and store instructions, may be provided which are able to access data values in registers not owned by the exception level associated with the execution of those program instructions, but are limited to perform data transfers to or from memory locations within a memory (6 in Figure 1) indicated by an architected storage pointer for the owning exception level, while target unconstrained transfer instructions (Figure 5) at a given exception level are prevented or restricted from accessing register data values marked as owned by a different exception level.

Patent GB-2550422-A (GB)
Title: Method of controlling operation of an exhaust gas treatment apparatus
Inventor: Anthony Eager
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2016-05-20
Abstract: A method of controlling operation of an engine comprising one or more cylinders having a piston, a fuel injector and an exhaust leading to an exhaust conduit and an exhaust gas treatment apparatus e.g. a diesel oxidation catalyst to receive fluid from the exhaust conduit. A controller receives a temperature value indicative of a gas temperature within the treatment unit. The method comprises: injecting fuel into the cylinders in a main injection event to initiate primary combustion that drives the piston. The controller compares the temperature value relative to first and second temperature threshold values. If the temperature value is between the first and second thresholds, fuel is injected into one or more cylinders in a subsidiary injection after the main injection during a period in which the subsidiary injection fuel passes directly into the exhaust conduit without in-cylinder combustion. If the temperature value is below the first threshold, fuel is injected to one or more cylinders in an interim injection after the main injection such that interim injected fuel results in secondary combustion in the cylinder or the exhaust conduit.

Title: Imaging device and imaging method
Inventor: NOBUSHIGE WAKAMATSU
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: A subject image is detected (110) from a captured image captured by an imaging element (106) and a motion vector of the detected subject image is acquired (116) by comparing image signals in different frames acquired by the imaging element. A comparison result is acquired by comparing a position of the detected subject image with a target position in an imaging range (fig. 3). Movement of the position of the subject image in the imaging range is reduced by moving the subject image on the basis of both the motion vector and the comparison result, for instance by moving the position of the range. The moving may be performed by moving an optical element linked to the imaging element or the imaging element itself.

Title: Motion detector
Inventor: ANIL LAL
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2017-03-01
Abstract: An ultrasonic motion activity detector configured to, in each of a series of frames, obtain an ultrasonic signal derived from a transmitted ultrasonic signal; derive an activity signal based on a difference between the obtained signal in a present frame and at least one previous frame; determine a peak value of the activity signal in a first and second time window of the frame, wherein the first time window is different from the second time window. Calculate a ratio of the peak value of the activity signal in the first time window of the frame to the peak value of the activity signal in the second time window of the frame and compare the calculated ratio with a threshold value. In frames in which the calculated ratio exceeds the threshold value, motion of an object relative to the detector is determined. A method is also included for detecting motion relative to a detector by receiving an ultrasonic signal comprising components directly received from a transmitter and reflected from an object, then processing the signal to remove any components constant from one time period to another; movement is then detected based on this movement dependent signal.

Title: Mass spectrometric ion storage device for extremely different mass ranges
Inventor: CARSTEN STOERMER
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: The invention proposes the generation and superposition of two multipole fields of different order, completely independent of each other, in an RF multipole rod system with at least eight pole rods. For example, in one embodiment (Figure 6), it is possible to jointly store low-energy electrons in a central RF quadrupole field generated by a two phase supply (HFG1), and multiply charged heavy positive ions in an RF octopole field created by application of a single phase RF voltage to the remaining rods, thereby allowing ions to fragment by electron capture dissociation (ECD). In a different embodiment, multiply charged positive analyte ions and suitable negative reactant ions can react with each other in an octopole field by electron transfer dissociation (ETD), and the fragment ions can subsequently be formed into fine ion beam by transition to a quadrupole field. A mixture of hexapole and dodecapole fields is also possible.

Patent GB-2576026-A (GB)
Title: Manufacturing steel
Inventor: ANTHONY KIRK
IPC: C21C7/068
Filed: 2018-08-02
Abstract: A method of manufacturing steel includes introducing a charge material into a basic oxygen converter (501). Oxygen gas is blown at e.g. supersonic speed into the charge to oxidise and remove impurities such as carbon from the charge (502). The step of blowing removes the carbon from the charge material to form carbon monoxide gas (506). During the critical early stages of a slopping event / blow, large amounts of gas rising up through the slag with high apparent viscosity resulting from excessively high levels of carbon monoxide gas generation are reduced by introducing nitrogen gas (504) while blowing oxygen, e.g. into the flow stream. The oxygen flow rate may be comparable to the subsequent combined flow rate and the nitrogen flow may be discontinued before the end of the oxidation stage. The charge material may be combined scrap and blast furnace iron comprising silicon. The nitrogen bleed profile supply may increase with the silicon content (fig 6). A lime-based material may be added to neutralize acidic compounds in the slag.
