    Abstract: A battery cell monitoring system comprises a flexible substrate able to conform to a surface of a battery cell to be monitored, and a plurality of first-level prediction units integrated onto the flexible substrate, where each first-level prediction unit is positioned at a different location on the flexible substrate to each other first-level prediction unit. Each first-level prediction unit comprises at least one sensor to generate sensor signals indicative of a physical state of the battery cell, and first-level prediction circuitry to generate a predicted battery cell status value in dependence on the sensor signals received from the at least one sensor of that first-level prediction unit. Second-level prediction circuitry is arranged to determine a prediction result in dependence on the predicted battery cell status values generated by the first-level prediction circuitry of each first-level prediction unit, and a communications device is used to output the prediction result at least when the prediction result indicates an occurrence of a critical event.

    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to a method for anomaly response in a system on chip. The method comprises measuring a magnitude of a transient anomaly event in an operating condition of the system on chip. Based on the magnitude it is determined, for each of a plurality of components of the system on chip, an indication of susceptibility of that component to an anomaly event of the measured magnitude. Based on the determined indications of susceptibility for each of the plurality of components, an anomaly response action is determined. The method then comprises performing the anomaly response action.

    Abstract: Wearable items and methods of monitoring wearable items are disclosed. The wearable item comprises a flexible base material forming at least a portion of the wearable item, plural conductive traces traversing the flexible base material, and conductivity sensing circuitry coupled to the plural conductive traces. The conductivity sensing circuitry is configured to distinguish conductivity from non-conductivity of the plural conductive traces, and configured to generate a conductivity indication for at least one of the plural conductive traces. The plural conductive traces follow indirect paths across the flexible base material, allowing the flexible material to flex and stretch normally without breaking the conductive traces.

    Abstract: A safety-based prediction apparatus, system and method are provided. A machine learning hardware accelerator (MLHA) includes a main classifier (MC) module, at least one guardian classifier (GC) module, and a final predicted class decision module. The MC module predicts an MC predicted class based on input data, and includes a pre-trained, machine learning main classifier (MLMC) that has at least one safety critical (SC) class and a plurality of non-SC classes. Each guardian classifier (GC) module is associated with an SC class, and predicts a GC predicted class based on the input data. Each GC module includes a pre-trained, machine learning guardian classifier (MLGC) having two classes including an associated SC class and a residual class that includes any non-associated SC classes and the plurality of non-SC classes. A decision module determines and outputs a final predicted class based on the MC predicted class and each GC predicted class.

    Abstract: Methods of performing post-manufacturing adaptation of a data processing apparatus manufactured in accordance with a processor design and corresponding data processing apparatus configurations are provided. Post-manufacturing testing of the data processing apparatus determines any dysfunctional instructions by comparison between component usage profiles for each instruction and a component fault-detection procedure applied to the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can be determined nevertheless to be operationally viable when any dysfunctional instructions can be substituted for by emulation using other functional instructions. The data processing apparatus can be provided with dysfunctional instruction handling circuitry configured to identify occurrence of a program instruction instance of a dysfunctional instruction and to invoke an interrupt handling routine associated with the dysfunctional instruction to emulate the instance of a dysfunctional instruction.
