Abstract: Methods and systems of the present invention obtain a motion vector between two frames of video image data. Specifically, methods and systems of the present invention may be used to estimate a motion vector for each macroblock of a current frame with respect to a reference frame in a multi-stage operation. In a first stage, an application implementing the process of the present invention coarsely searches a first search area of the reference frame to obtain a candidate supermacroblock that best approximates a supermacroblock in the current frame. In a second stage, the supermacroblock is divided into a plurality of macroblocks. Each of the macroblocks is used to construct search areas which are then searched to obtain a candidate macroblock that best appropriates a macroblock in the current frame. Additional stages may be used to further fine-tune the approximation to the macroblock. The methods and systems of the present invention may be used in optimizing digital video encoders, decoders, and video format converters.

Abstract: A spectral ellipsometer that enables complete simultaneous measurement of ellipsometric parameters of a surface with thin films and coatings for the full wavelength range of interest by using an imaging spectrograph together with a novel optical arrangement that disperses the polarization information of a time-invariant train of optical signals in a linear spatial array of points along or parallel to an input aperture or slit of the imaging spectrograph and disperses the polarization information in wavelength perpendicular to the aperture or slit to provide a two-dimensional spectrograph image that is collected and stored by an imaging array with one axis relating to wavelength and the other axis relating to the light polarization. Multiple simultaneous measurements of the spectral ellipsometric parameters  psi  (psi) and  DELTA  (delta) are taken at all wavelengths without the need of any time-varying or mechanically-moving optical elements. The ellipsometer can be used for real-time measurements of ellipsometric parameters of a moving or static surface with the thin films and coatings.

Abstract: An innovative bone anchor and methods for securing connective tissue, such as tendons, to bone, which permit a suture attachment that lies entirely beneath the cortical bone surface. Advantageously, the suturing material between the connective tissue and the bone anchor is secured without the need for tying a knot. The suture attachment to the bone anchor involves the looping of a length of suturing material around a self-locking wedge block in the anchor, thereby avoiding an eyelet connection which requires a kot and which concentrates stress on a very small portion of the suturing material. Thus, failure rates are greatly decreased over conventional techniques, and the innovative procedures are significantly easier to perform than conventional techniques.
