Abstract: Excess electric power generated by a domestic alternative power generation system 101 (such as a solar panel or wind turbine) connected to a domestic electricity wiring network 104 is consumed within a device 110 whose power consumption may be varied using a control signal. The wiring network 104 is also connected to a external mains electric power supply system 108. The net power flowing between the domestic wiring network 104 and the external mains electric power supply system 108 is measured together with its direction of flow. A control signal is created to adjust the power consumed by the power-consuming device 110 in such a fashion that (a) the net power flowing from the domestic wiring network 104 to the external mains electric power supply system 108 is kept near or below a threshold value; (b) it varies in response to changes in the power generated by the domestic alternative power generation system 101, or to changes in the power consumed by the domestic wiring network 104; and (c) it is adjusted to reduce to zero the power consumed by the power-consuming device 110 whenever the direction of net power flow is from the external mains electric power supply system 108 to the domestic wiring network 104, or the net power flowing from the wiring network 104 to the external mains electric power supply system 108 is below the threshold. The power-consuming device 110 may be an electric immersion heater.

Title: Filtering Predicted Chrominance Samples When Encoding 4:2:2 Format Video Using HEVC
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2012-06-22
Abstract: Video coding / decoding in which luminance and chrominance samples in 4:2:2 format are predicted from other samples according to a prediction direction (1-34) comprises detecting a direction in respect of a current block (1220) to be predicted. A predicted block of chrominance samples is generated according to other chrominance samples defined by the prediction direction. If the detected prediction direction is substantially vertical, the left column of samples in the predicted block of chrominance samples is filtered, e.g. using a horizontally-oriented filter. If the detected direction is substantially horizontal, the top row of samples in the predicted block of chrominance samples is filtered, e.g. using a vertically-oriented filter. The difference between the filtered predicted chrominance block and the actual chrominance block is encoded. Chroma samples (1250) are remapped to a square grid giving a rectangular array half the width (1260) of the corresponding luma array (e.g. fig. 22). Luma directions (broken lines) do not always correspond to chroma directions (solid lines). The superposition shows that the same directions for both luma and chroma samples cannot be used due to there being half the horizontal sample rate in the chroma channel compared to the luma channel. Other HEVC details are disclosed.
