Title: Regulating transmission of media to an media receiver according to a playlist
Inventor: JALLAD RAFIK
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-10-23
Abstract: A system is described with two or more media players 10, 20, 30, a media receiver 40 and an audio/visual output device 50 (such as a speaker/screen). Sending of media item/s tracks to the media receiver is regulated according to a collaborative playlist. The media receiver and A/V output device may be part of a home audio system. The media players and media receiver may be connected by short range wireless connection, such as Bluetooth (RTM). A playlist 44 may be generated through use of the system such that a user of a media player may populate the playlist with an entry comprising a media track/item identifier held on, or controlled by, the users respective media player and selected by the user to be played by the A/V output device. Using the playlist the sending of the media tracks to the media receiver is regulated. The media players themselves may send the media tracks/items or they may be retrieved from an external device, such as a media server. The media receiver, which also stores the playlist, instructs the device/player that has the next entry in the playlist to transmit the media item/track to the media receiver at an appropriate time. Copies of the playlist may be stored on each media player 15, 25, 35 so that they maintain a synchronised playlist. In an alternative embodiment the media receiver 40 which can maintain two simultaneous short range wireless radio connections with two (or more) remote media players and whilst maintaining said connections and whilst receiving a first Audio/Visual signal/track from one of the media players, receive a second Audio/Visual signal/track from the other media player and route that second Audio/Visual signal/track to the Audio/Visual output device in preference to the first Audio/Visual signal/track i.e. the media receiver switches from routing/outputting the currently playing first media signal/track to the newly requested second media signal/track. The media player sending the first Audio/Visual signal/track may be instructed to pause or stop reading and/or transmitting the first signal/track. The media receiver may receive Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and/or Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)/ iPod Accessory Protocol (iAP) messages on which to base the decision on which signal/track to route to the output device. The media items/tracks may be audio tracks (songs), videos or pictures.

Title: Carrier
Inventor: ANDREW EARLY
IPC: H02K7/04
Filed: 2015-02-11
Abstract: A flywheel apparatus for energy storage and recovery typically includes a housing 1 within which there is a chamber in which a flywheel 3 on a shaft 4 rotates. The chamber is evacuated to at or near vacuum pressure, so that air resistance-related energy losses of the flywheel 3 as it rotates are reduced. Maintaining near-vacuum pressure within the chamber requires an effective seal between the housing 1 and the shaft 4. The effective seal must be maintained despite any relative movement (in particular translational movement) of the flywheel 3 and the housing 1. To this end, the shaft is mounted via a bearing arrangement on a carrier 12, 13 on which is also mounted a sealing arrangement 11. The carrier 12, 13 is mounted on the housing 1 such that the carrier 12,13, the bearing arrangement and the sealing arrangement 11 move substantially together relative to the housing 1.

Title: Translation lookaside buffer
Inventor: RANJIT J ROZARIO
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2016-05-18
Abstract: This invention is for a translation look-aside buffer, or TLB, 205 that includes a content addressable memory (CAM) used in conjunction with a set associative memory, or cache. It works by dividing, or partitioning the TLB between multiple threads or virtual processing elements, VPEs. The TLB has both a fixed page size TLB (FTLB) 205 and a variable page size TLB (VTLB) 225, portions of which may be shared between threads. The FTLB is shared 210 between VPEs and is implemented using set associative cache memory, while the VTLB has a portion 220 for shared VPEs and a portion 230 for the exclusive, or private use, of particular VPEs. These portions are divided into logically contiguous entries. A TLB lookup request 215 initiated by a given thread, 240, will begin the lookup of a given virtual address simultaneously in both the FTLB and the VTLB. The shared FTLB and the shared and private VTLB are searched simultaneously and if a TLB entry exists for the virtual address then the lookup result 255 is output.
