Abstract: A new copper-based alloy is described along with a processing method to make a strip that can be used for various automotive interconnects.  The alloy process combination yields a material with high strength and electncal conductivity with excellent formability.  The combination of properties result from a Cu-Sn-Ni-P alloy with optional Mg additions and thermal-mechanical processing to make an alloy with a conductivity of 40%iACS, yield strength of 80 KSI, bend formability of 11/11 minimum, and stress relaxation of 65% at 150°C after 1000 hours. Processing can be modified to increase formability at the expense of yield strength. Improvements to conductivity come from changes in chemistry as well as processing. The new chemistry-process optimization results in a low cost alloy of Cu-Sn-Ni-P-Mg.

Title: Advanced interpolation techniques for motion compensation in video coding
Inventor: YE YAN
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 2009-04-10
Abstract: This disclosure describes various interpolation techniques performed by an encoder and a decoder during the motion compensation process of video coding. In one example, an encoder interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on a plurality of different pre defined interpolation filters. In this example, the decoder receives a syntax element that identifies an interpolation filter, and interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on the interpolation filter identified by the syntax element. In another example, a method of interpolating predictive video data includes generating half-pixel values based on integer pixel values, rounding the half-pixel values to generate half-pixel interpolated values, storing the half-pixel values as non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values, and generating quarter-pixel values based on the non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values and the integer pixel values.

Filed: 2010-11-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating a feed containing immiscible phases of different densities which finds particular application in the separation of a bitumen froth feed into lighter and heavier components. The apparatus comprises a vessel having a top, side walls, and a base defining an interior having a height and a diameter. A feed inlet delivers feed to the interior whereby settling of the feed establishes a heavier phase zone in the vicinity of the base and a lighter phase zone above an interface with the heavier phase zone. An overflow outlet for the lighter phase zone and an underflow outlet for the heavier phase zone are provided. The height/diameter ratio of the vessel, the dimensions and position of the feed inlet and the fluid properties of the feed are selected to allow a feed velocity of the feed discharging from the feed inlet into the interior to dissipate in the lighter phase zone as the discharged feed entrains lighter phase material above the interface and spreads across the vessel interior such that the lighter phases of the feed separate up to the overflow outlet and the heavier phases separate down to the underflow outlet.
