Abstract: Subtitling aims at the presentation of text information and graphical data, encoded as pixel bitmaps. The size of subtitle bitmaps may exceed video frame dimensions, so that only portions are displayed at a time. The bitmaps are a separate layer lying above the video, e.g. for synchronized video subtitles, animations and navigation menus, and therefore contain many transparent pixels. An advanced adaptation for bitmap encoding for HDTV, e.g. 1920x1280 pixels per frame as defined for the Blu-ray Disc Prerecorded format, providing optimized compression results for such subtitling bitmaps, is achieved by a four-stage run length encoding. Shorter or longer sequences of pixels of a preferred color, e.g. transparent, are encoded using the second or third shortest code words, while single pixels of different color are encoded using the shortest code words, and sequences of pixels of equal color use the third or fourth shortest code words.

Title: Stroke determination unit for 4-cycle engine
Inventor: MACHIDA KENICHI
IPC: F01B31/12
Filed: 2006-02-23
Granted: 2011-01-18
Abstract: In a device for carrying out stroke determination, with intake pressure as a parameter, to provide a stroke determination unit for a 4-cyclce engine capable of accurate stroke determination, Combined intake pressure Pb of intake ports of first to third cylinders is detected, and stroke determination is carried out by recognizing within a combined intake pressure waveform based on a detection value for the combined intake. pressure Pb, shapes of the combined intake pressure waveform for a specified phase period of a cranks shaft as "rising" or "upward peak" Pb patterns. The Pb pattern recognition is carried out by storing variation patterns of intake pressure values measured within the specified crankshaft phase period, and collating with a data map stored within an ECU. Also, the pattern recognition is carried out by collating with condition equations representing "rising" or "upward peak". With the latter, intake pressure variation due to contamination such as noise to the Pb sensor is made negligible, and noise toughness of the stroke determination unit is improved.

Title: Hemostatic valve assembly
Inventor: HRUSKA CHRISTOPHER L
IPC: A61M39/02
Filed: 2004-12-10
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: An iris-type valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid. The assembly comprises a base member, a rotatable member, and an elongated elastomeric valve sheath. The distal end of the valve sheath is secured to the base member and the proximal end of the valve sheath is secured to the rotatable member. At least one of the vale sheath ends includes a flange that is secured to a valve-receiving surface of the base member or the rotatable member. The base member and the rotatable member are aligned to define an elongated passageway therethrough for passage of an interventional device, and the elastomeric valve sheath is disposed along the passageway and has a longitudinal opening therethrough for passage of the interventional device. Upon rotation of the rotatable member relative to the base member the longitudinal opening of the valve sheath is selectively constrictable to comprise a seal around the interventional device. The assembly may be provided with ratcheting members to inhibit recoil of the rotatable member, and rib members along the inner surface of the valve sheath to enhance the seal provided by the assembly.

Title: Gel mixing system
Inventor: ALLEN THOMAS E
IPC: B01F25/60
Filed: 2006-06-23
Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A gel mixing system that employs a dynamic diffuser for quickly removing the air from the fluid as the fluid exits a traditional gel mixer and employs progressive dilution of the gel in a series of hydration tanks to maximize hydration time without allowing the gel to become so viscous that it is not easily diluted or pumped. High shear agitation of the fluid between the hydration tanks helps to increase the hydration rate. Progressive dilution of the gel increases residence time of the gel in the tanks and results in longer hydration time in the limited tank space available, resulting in continuous production of gel that is almost fully hydrated when it is pumped to the fracturing blender and subsequently to the well bore without the need for an increase in the volume of the hydration tanks.

Abstract: A mounting plate having an orienting portion facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening of the mounting plate with respect to an anticipated orientation of a receptacle and electrical box. The orienting portion is optionally releasably attachable to the main body of the mounting plate which main body comprises the vacuum connection opening. The mounting plate is mounted prior to installation of the electrical receptacle in the electrical box. The orienting portion of the mounting plate facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening in a known orientation with respect to an anticipated orientation of the electrical receptacle when inserted in the electrical box. After installation of the inlet valve and the electrical receptacle, a hose cuff having standard electrical terminals oriented with respect to the vacuum connection of the hose cuff may be simultaneously inserted into the electrical receptacle and the vacuum connection opening. The electrical terminals in the hose cuff are oriented with respect to the vacuum connection in a second known orientation corresponding to the first known orientation such that the electrical terminals mate with the electrical receptacle which has been installed in the electrical box when the vacuum connection opening receives the vacuum connection. In this manner, a hose cuff utilizing standard electrical terminals may be mated with an electrical terminal without interfering with the electrical box. Furthermore, because the orienting portion is releasably attached to the main body, the orienting portion can be removed to avoid interference with other trades.

Title: Method and apparatus for the continuous controlled discharge of solids
Inventor: ADELMANN DIETER
IPC: B65G65/46
Filed: 2005-04-01
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: It is known that poorly-flowing solid materials can lead to an inhomogeneous mass flow of the solid across the discharge cross-section of a silo. If the solid in the silo is also heated or cooled the uneven mass flow can lead, for example, to local variations in temperature and/or hence to varying product properties. According to the invention, the above problem may be resolved, whereby a method and a discharge device for a solids silo and a solids silo are disclosed, permitting a controllable solids discharge evenly across the cross-section of the silo. The cross-section of the silo discharge is divided into several, preferably equivalent, partial cross-sections to which a continuously controllable discharge device is connected. The solid flow discharged from the controllable discharge devices can be collected on a continuous conveyor arranged therebelow and removed. The even solid mass discharge from the continuous discharge devices is controlled, depending on measured signals from several equivalent sensors, recording the local mass flow in the corresponding partial sections of the silo, by means of the conveyor power of the discharge device, relating to each sensor. Where electrically-conducting solids are used which are to be heated in the silo using electrodes by means of resistance heating, the control of the discharge devices is achieved with the measured current at the electrodes.
