Abstract: Images stored in an information repository are prepared for browsing. For each image in the repository, text in the repository is mined to extract snippets of text about the image which are semantically relevant to the image, and for each of these snippets of text, keyterms are detected in the snippet of text which represent either concepts that are related to the image or entities that are related to the image, and the snippet of text and keyterms are associated with the image. Each keyterm that is associated with each image in the repository is hyperlinked to each other image in the repository that has this keyterm associated therewith. A graphical user interface allows a user to browse the images in the repository by using their associated snippets of text and hyperlinked keyterms.

Abstract: An apparatus has a multiplier array for implementing a multiply-accumulate operation. The multiplier array has a plurality of rows, where each row comprises multiplexer circuitry and adder circuitry, the multiplexer circuitry selecting, in dependence on a control input, one of a first multiplexer input value and a second multiplexer input value to provide as a first adder input value to the adder circuitry. In each row other than an initial row, the adder circuitry also receives as a second adder input value at least a portion of a result value produced in a preceding row. The mode of operation can be changed between a multiplication mode where the multiplier array implements the multiply-accumulate operation and a linear interpolation mode where the multiplier array implements a linear interpolation operation between a lower limit value and an upper limit value based on a weighting value.

Abstract: Exception control circuitry controls exception handling for processing circuitry. In response to an initial exception occurring when the processing circuitry is in a given exception level, the initial exception to be handled in a target exception level, the exception control circuitry stores exception control information to at least one exception control register associated with the target exception level, indicating at least one property of the initial exception or of processor state at a time the initial exception occurred. When at least one exception intercept configuration parameter stored in a configuration register indicates that exception interception is enabled, after storing the exception control information, and before the processing circuitry starts processing an exception handler for handling the initial exception in the target exception level, the exception control circuitry triggers a further exception to be handled in a predetermined exception level.

Abstract: A self-powered electronic system comprises a first chip of single-crystalline semiconductor embedded in a second chip of single-crystalline semiconductor shaped as a container bordered by ridges. The assembled chips are nested and form an electronic device assembled, in turn, in a slab of weakly p-doped low-grade silicon shaped as a container bordered by ridges. The flat side of the slab includes a heavily n-doped region forming a pn-junction with the p-type bulk. A metal-filled deep silicon via through the p-type ridge connects the n-region with the terminal on the ridge surface as cathode of the photovoltaic cell with the p-region as anode. The voltage across the pn-junction serves as power source of the device.

Abstract: A system for and method of generating an API or an API template for use with a map service. The API, e.g., URL when invoked in a WMS server or WMTS server, causes generating a metadata for a set of one or more areas of interest (AOIs) and one or more date ranges. The metadata provides access to a dataset of surveys via getmap or gettile requests. The API is dynamic in that the effect of the API (the metadata generated) is automatically updated whenever there has been a new survey added in the set of AOIs and date ranges. The API template is for a TMS service, and when populated, provides for causing any tiled map in the set of AOIs and date ranges to be displayed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for executing debug instructions. The apparatus has processing circuitry for executing instructions fetched from memory, and a debug interface. The processing circuitry is responsive to a halt event to enter a halted mode where the processing circuitry stops executing the instructions fetched from memory, and instead is arranged to execute debug instructions received from a debugger via the debug interface. The processing circuitry is responsive to detection of a trigger condition when executing a given debug instruction to exit the halted mode transparently to the debugger, and to take an exception in order to execute exception handler code comprising a sequence of instructions fetched from memory. On return from the exception, the processing circuitry then re-enters the halted mode and performs any additional processing required to complete execution of the given debug instruction.

Abstract: In an apparatus performing multi-threaded data processing event handling circuitry receives event information from the data processing circuitry indicative of an event which has occurred during the data processing operations. Visibility configuration storage holds a set of visibility configuration values, each visibility configuration value associated with a thread of the multiple threads and the event handling circuitry adapts its use of the event information to restrict visibility of the event information for software of threads other than the thread which generated the event information when a visibility configuration value for the thread which generated the event information has a predetermined value. This allows multi-threaded event monitoring to be supported, whilst protecting event information from a particular thread for which it is desired to limit its visibility to software of other threads.

Abstract: A processing pipeline may have first and second execution circuits having different performance or energy consumption characteristics. Instruction supply circuitry may support different instruction supply schemes with different energy consumption or performance characteristics. This can allow a further trade-off between performance and energy efficiency. Architectural state storage can be shared between the execute units to reduce the overhead of switching between the units. In a parallel execution mode, groups of instructions can be executed on both execute units in parallel.
