20100037084 | METHOD FOR RECOVERING A POSITION AND CLOCK PERIOD FROM AN INPUT DIGITAL SIGNAL - A method for recovering a position and clock period from an input bi-phase encoded digital signal such as an SPDIF signal counts the intervals between phase changes of the input digital signal to derive the longest interval between the phase changes. The longest interval indicates the position and period length of a preamble portion of sub-frames of the signal and is stored, and a signal indicating the position of the longest interval between phase changes and an indication of the clock period of the input digital signal is provided. | 02-11-2010 |
20100318822 | ENERGY SAVING IN SYSTEMS-ON-CHIP - A System-on-Chip may include initiators, targets exchanging information with the initiators, and a control module. The control module may be configured to selectively set to one of different reduced power consumption modes each of the initiators and each of the targets based upon external reduced power consumption instructions, and selectively wake-up from the reduced power consumption mode each initiator and each target. | 12-16-2010 |

20120059829 | OBJECT CLASSIFICATION - A method and apparatus for processing an observation of an object to be classified, the method comprising using a particle filter in which an observation of an object to be classified is used to weight particles on a plurality of models for the object. The method may further comprise performing at least one further iteration of using the particle filter to weight the particles on the plurality of models for the object using a further observation of the object to be classified. The method may further comprise providing respective classification probabilities that each respective model corresponds to the object based on the weightings of the particles of the respective model. Each of the respective particles may be divided into a respective plurality of sub-particles. | 03-08-2012 |
20140122392 | SENSOR DATA PROCESSING - A method and apparatus for processing data, the data including a set of one or more system inputs; and a set of one or more system outputs; wherein each system output corresponds to a respective system input. Each system input can include a plurality of data points, such that at least one of these data points is from a different data source to at least one other of those data points. The method includes performing a kernel function on a given system input from the data and a further system input to provide kernelised data; and inferring a value indicative of a significance of data from a particular data source; wherein the inferring includes applying a regression technique to the kernelised data. | 05-01-2014 |

20090267571 | Load current dependent reduction of charge battery current - Circuits and methods to charge batteries of a portable device simultaneously with supplying power to the device for its operation, using a power source with limited maximum current, as e.g. an USB port, have been achieved. The system invented relies upon digital control only. No direct sensing of the current required for the operation of the portable device is required. The control takes care that the sum of the charging current and of the current to run the portable device does not exceed the maximum allowable current of the power source. The current required to run the portable device has precedence over the charging current. | 10-29-2009 |

20080308669 | COMPOSITE AIRCRAFT COMPONENT - This invention relates to improving the tolerance of composite laminate structures to damage and/or delamination, resulting in weakening of the structure and/or to reducing the possibility of such damage and/or delamination. In particular, but not exclusively the invention relates to protecting the end surfaces of composite laminate structures present on aircraft from impact damage. The invention provides an aircraft component comprising a composite laminate structure, the composite laminate structure including an end surface at which a multiplicity of the layers of the laminate structure terminate, wherein the aircraft component further comprises a deformable strip mounted to protect the end surface of the composite laminate structure from direct impacts. | 12-18-2008 |
20100068450 | COMPOSITE STRUCTURE - A composite structure comprising: a panel formed from two or more plies of composite material, the panel having a surface formed with a step where the thickness of the panel changes. Two or more stiffeners are attached to the surface of the panel. One of the stiffeners engages at least part of the step so as to transmit load forces in the panel. | 03-18-2010 |
