Abstract: An in-stream disparity processing system comprises a delay block having an input for receiving an input stream of disparity cost vectors, and configured to provide a delayed stream of disparity cost vectors at an output of the delay block, by delaying the input stream by a predetermined amount; and a processing block having a cost input connected to receive the delayed stream of disparity cost vectors and a smoothing input connected to receive the input stream of disparity cost vectors, and configured to apply cost smoothing to the delayed stream based on the input stream, so as to generate, at an output of the processing block, a stream of reverse pass disparity cost vectors.

Abstract: A communication device for communicating with a plurality of terminals via a wireless network, the communication device being configured to, when it has a message to transmit to that plurality of terminals: select, from a multiple of available acknowledgement mechanisms, an acknowledgement mechanism for the terminals to use in acknowledging receipt of the message and communicate the selected acknowledgement mechanism to the plurality of terminals.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising: a first core circuit configured to operate at a first clock rate for carrying out a first range of tasks; and a second core circuit configured to operate in a first mode and a second mode, the second core circuit being configured to operate at a second clock rate for carrying out a second range of tasks in the second mode and being configured to operate in the second mode when the first core circuit carries out the first range of tasks, the second clock rate being greater than the first clock rate.

Abstract: A method for producing a non-silicon steel for electro magnetic applications includes the steps of producing a vacuum de-gassed steel melt containing less than 0.025% by weight of carbon, between 0.1% and 1.0% of manganese, between 0.01% and 0.15% phosphorus, not more than 0.02% of sulphur, not more than 0.007% of nitrogen, with titanium within the range of 0.05% to 0.25%, the reminder being iron, except for incidental impurities, hot rolling slab derived from the melt, using a finishing temperature within the range 900.degree. C. to 950.degree. C. and coiling the resulting hot rolled strip at a temperature of not less than 700.degree. C.

Abstract: A method for producing non-oriented steel for electromagnetic applications comprises hot rolling a steel containing a nitride/carbide former and coiling the hot band at a temperature of not less than 680.degree. C. before cold reduction and annealing in a non-decarburizing atmosphere.
