    Abstract: A processing system has a processor and profiling circuitry. The processor is configured to commit instructions in a program order, and comprises circuitry for determining and storing performance-event data for each instruction committed by the processor. The performance-event data for each instruction indicates whether the instruction experiences any of a predetermined set of one or more performance events. The profiling circuitry generates sample data at intervals, and writes the sample data to a sample register or memory. The sample data generated at each interval identifies one or more instructions that are next-to-be committed by the processor or one or more instructions that were last committed by the processor, and comprises the respective performance-event data for each of the identified instructions.

    Abstract: A method of fault detection in synchronous machines includes using at least one sensor to determine parameters linked to the magnetic field generated within the synchronous machine including parameters based on one or more of magnetic field strength, rotor current or voltage, stator current or voltage, and vibration. The sensor measurements are processed to identify data artefacts linked to the magnetic field, wherein the processing includes one or more signal processing techniques based on time, frequency, and both time and frequency. Subsequently, the output of the signal processing is analysed in order to identify and categorise irregularities in the magnetic field that are indicative of a fault in the synchronous machine. The analysing step includes recognising patterns in the processed sensor measurements, via use of computer aided pattern recognition techniques such as via machine learning algorithms.

    Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus is provided comprising: an input interface for receiving input light into the optical sensing apparatus; an input waveguide and a reference waveguide, both arranged to receive input light from the input interface; a closed loop resonator, wherein the input waveguide is optically coupled to the closed loop resonator at an input point for introducing input light to the closed loop resonator; a sample region, adjacent the closed loop resonator, for receiving a sample such that evanescent coupling can occur between light in the closed loop resonator and the sample; a drop-port waveguide, optically coupled to the closed loop resonator at a drop point for receiving dropped light from the closed loop resonator; an output waveguide; and an output interface. The reference waveguide and the drop-port waveguide are arranged to direct interfering light through the output waveguide to produce an output signal at the output interface.

    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting morphed or averaged images, wherein the morphed or averaged images are synthetically generated images including information from two or more different source images corresponding to two or more subjects. The apparatus may include a feature extraction module for receiving an input image and outputting a set of descriptor feature(s) characteristic of the image and a classifier module configured to allocate the input image either to a first class indicating that the image has been morphed or averaged or a second class indicating that it has not been morphed or averaged, based on the descriptor feature(s). The feature extraction module may include a plurality of neural networks providing complementary descriptor feature(s) to the classifier module. The apparatus further may include a fusion module for combining descriptor feature data from each neural network and transmitting the fused feature data to the classifier module.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating an instrument for surgical intervention is provided. The instrument to be calibrated has a tip at a distal end thereof and a navigation array that is spaced from the distal end and is detectable in space. The navigation array has a fixed spatial and angular relationship with the tip. The method comprises the steps of: placing a calibrator on the tip of the instrument such that the tip is positioned within the calibrator at a known displacement from the centre of the calibrator, the calibrator having a circular shape and being detectable as a single point in space; detecting the position of the navigation array and the centre of the calibrator; and determining the position of the centre of the calibrator relative to the navigation array, thereby calibrating the position of the tip of the instrument relative to the navigation array. There is also provided a calibrator for use in such a method.
