Title: Video coding
Inventor: THURLOW ADRIAN RICHARD
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A method of generating video data for transmission to a user particularly fo r use in a video surveillance system. The method comprises generating a first representation of a first image and one or more further representations of t he first image are then generated, said further representation(s) being predict ed from a previously generated representation of the first image. In response t o a request for a subsequent image, a first representation of said subsequent image being predicted from a representation of the first image. Then one or more further representations of said subsequent image are generated, said further representations of said subsequent image being predicted from a previously generated representation of said subsequent image. Thus, the same source data for a first image is fed into the encoder, so producing a progressive still image at the decoder. When a different image is required, the encoder substitutes, as the input to the encoder, the source picture fro m the requested point in time. This source picture is encoded predictively fro m the original image.

Patent CA-2476404-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSON RALPH
IPC: B29B15/02
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: A method for recycling latex-containing broke is provided. Specifically, the present inventors have discovered that mechanical treatment may be employed to rework latex-containing broke for reuse in various products without the need for treatment with chemicals, such as hypochlorite, chlorine, or hypochlorous acid. As a result of mechanical treatment, fiber aggregates (e.g., combination of short fibers, fiber fragments, and/or latex) are formed that have a relatively small size. Besides having a reduced size, the fiber aggregates have also been unexpectedly discovered to have other unique properties. For instance, a large portion of the resulting fiber aggregates may be relatively free from the latex polymer. Specifically, the fiber aggregates contain a "core" of latex from which extend short fibers and/or fragments that are uncoated with the latex. The result is fiber aggregates that are uniquely "partially coated" with a latex polymer. When recycled in paper products, these fiber aggregates may impart a variety of benefits, such as increased bulk retention and high water capacity without any loss in absorbency rate.

Title: Power actuated seat
Inventor: RUMNEY TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: B60N2/02
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for controlling seats and for monitoring behavior of power-actuated seats. Certain embodiments permit seat occupancy data, e.g., whether the seat is occupied or a weight-dependent characteristic of the occupant of the seat, to be collected by moving a part of the seat with an actuator. This seat occupancy data may then be used to control other aspects of the seat operation, e.g., set an operational limit of the actuator or reduce auxiliary power to other systems associated with the seat if the seat is unoccupied. For example, part of the seat may be moved with a first actuator, including detecting a control parameter at which the part of the seat begins moving. This control parameter may be correlated to an actuator limit.
