Title: Video encoding and decoding
Inventor: SEKIGUCHI SHUNICHI
IPC: H04N19/56
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: It is an object of the invention to obtain a video encoder and a video decoder performing a highly accurate prediction of a picture, transformed by other than translation, within a short.processing time in a small-scaled circuit. A video encoder for performing compression encoding of an input picture includes motion compensated prediction means for performing interframe motion detection. The motion compensated prediction means has a motion detector including a transformed block matching unit for transforming a reference picture portion into a picture portion having a predefined shape for performing motion detection and a motion compensator including a corresponding pel determinator for determining integer pels of real sample points of the transformed reference picture portion corresponding to an integer pel of the input picture block according to the motion parameters supplied from the motion detector as a result of the comparison so as to supply prediction picture data. The video encoder of the present invention can be combined with a video decoder having a motion compensator which performs the same operations as those in the video encoder to configure a video encoding and decoding system. Further, the video decoder uses half-pels of the reference picture in the motion compensator as well as integer pels, computes pel positions using plural motion vectors, and transforms the obtained pel value into a predefined form by the transformation pattern.

Abstract: A drain pump (and/or recirculating pump) for a clothes washing machine which has no dynamic leak paths exterior to the washing machine outer bowl (1, 20). The pump (19) is contained within a housing (3/9, 25) which is either formed integrally with the outer bowl or connects directly within an aperture provided in the bottom of the bowl using a single static seal. The pump inlet is directly exposed to the interior of the outer bowl. The pump motor (5, 64) has a rotor (4, 29) mounted within the pump housing with the interconnected pump impeller (8, 27) to obviate the need for a dynamic water seal for the rotor drive shaft (7,31).

IPC: G11C16/12
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A technique to perform an operation (e.g., erase, program, or read) on memory cells (105) is to apply an operating voltage dynamically to the gates (111, 113) of the memory cells, rather than a continuous operating voltage. This reduces the power consumed during the operation. Dynamic operation or background operation such as background erase also permits other operations, such as read, program, or erase, to occur while the selected memory cells are operated on. This improves the operational speed of an integrated circuit using dynamic operation compared to a continuous operation. In an embodiment for background erase, the erase gates are charged to the erase voltage using a charge pump (204, 208). The pump is then turned off (212), and the erase gates remain at the erase voltage dynamically (216). The erase voltage at the erase gates will be periodically checked and refreshed as needed until the memory cells are fully erased (224). While the charge pump is off and the erase voltage is dynamically held at the erase dates, other operations, possibly on other memory cells, may be performed (220).

Abstract: A saw blade (50), such as a handsaw blade, has a toothform pattern that includes a raker tooth (58) and set teeth (56). The handsaw blade teeth are configured such that a distance from a tooth point of the raker tooth (58) to a tooth point of an immediately preceding set tooth (62-1) is the smallest tooth spacing in the saw blade toothform pattern. With the use of a smaller spacing, the raker tooth (58) removes the smallest chip thickness from a work piece relative to the chip thicknesses removed by the set teeth (56). This reduces the amount of load imposed on the raker tooth point (78). In one arrangement, in order to balance the forces on either side of the blade during operation, the saw blade (50) is configured such that an accumulated pitch of the tooth points (72) set to a first side of the blade (50) are substantially equal to the accumulated pitch of the tooth points (76) set to a second opposing side of the blade (50).
