Abstract: A method of selecting, in hardware logic, an ith largest or a pth smallest number from a set of n m-bit numbers is described. The method is performed iteratively and in the rth iteration, the method comprises: summing an (m?r)th bit from each of the m-bit numbers to generate a summation result and comparing the summation result to a threshold value. Depending upon the outcome of the comparison, the rth bit of the selected number is determined and output and additionally the (m?r?1)th bit of each of the m-bit numbers is selectively updated based on the outcome of the comparison and the value of the (m?r)th bit in the m-bit number. In a first iteration, a most significant bit from each of the m-bit numbers is summed and each subsequent iteration sums bits occupying successive bit positions in their respective numbers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for evaluating interactions with a user interface are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a set of mutation events specifying changes to the structure of a user interface that occurred during the user session, and generating user interface states specifying different structures of the user interface throughout the given user session. Based at least in part on the user interface states, playback data that present visual changes of the user interface corresponding to the set of mutation events that occurred during the user session are generated. Session activity data describing user interactions that occurred during the user session are also generated. At least a portion of the playback data and the session activity data are output to a requesting device.

Abstract: Apparatus identifies a set of M output memory addresses from a larger set of N input memory addresses containing at least one non-unique memory address. A comparator block performs comparisons of memory addresses from a set of N input memory addresses to generate a binary classification dataset that identifies a subset of addresses from the set of input addresses, where each address in the subset identified by the binary classification dataset is unique within that subset. Combination logic units receive a predetermined selection of bits of the binary classification dataset and sort its received predetermined selection of bits into an intermediary binary string in which the bits are ordered into a first group identifying addresses belonging to the identified subset, and a second group identifying addresses not belonging to the identified subset.

Abstract: A process for the extraction of one or more colour pigments from waste plastic in which a waste plastic feedstock is mixed with a solvent in a reactor having a shearing mechanism and the solvent is separated out and recycled in the process. The shearing mechanism provides high shear, high contact mixing so as to move the pigment to the surface of the plastic for contact with the solvent to give efficient colour pigment removal. Embodiments of reactors with shearing mechanisms are described. Environmentally friendly solvents are also described. The process gives highly sought after natural recyclate at a commercial scale.
