Title: Systems and methods for enhanced coding gain
Inventor: GUNATILAKE PRIYAN DEVEKA
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2006-10-04
Abstract: Additional data compression is achieved by enhancing the spatial and temporal correlation of the data in a pre-processing module prior to sending the data to an encoding algorithm, such as for example, the MPEG algorithm. An input frame of data is decomposed into a luminance frame and two chrominance frames.  The luminance frame is transformed on the basis of each of a plurality of luminance pixels within the frame to produce a transformed luminance frame having a plurality of transformed luminance pixels. A map describing a relationship between the plurality of luminance pixels of the luminance frame and the plurality of transformed luminance pixels of the transformed luminance frame is created. The two chrominance frames are transformed according to the map to produce two transformed chrominance frames. The transformed luminance frame and the two transformed chrominance frames are integrated to produce a transformed output frame.

Title: Intracorporeal location system with movement compensation
Inventor: LEVIN ALEXENDER
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 2008-06-03
Abstract: A method for position tracking includes placing an internal reference probe in a reference location within a heart of a subject, and collecting and processing first location coordinates of the internal reference probe during one or more respiratory cycles so as to define a range of the location coordinates corresponding to the reference location. An active device is inserted into the heart, and second location coordinates of the active device are collected. The first and second location coordinates are jointly processed so as to find relative location coordinates of the active device in a cardiac frame of reference. When a deviation of the first location coordinates from the range is detected, the relative location coordinates are corrected to compensate for displacement of the reference probe from the reference location.

Title: Capacitive deionization using oscillatory fluid flow
Inventor: BOURCIER WILLIAM L
IPC: C02F1/469
Filed: 2007-01-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a new method and apparatus/system for purifying ionic solutions, such as, for example, desalinating water, using engineered charged surfaces (16) to sorb ions from such solutions. Surface charge is applied externally (13), and is synchronized with oscillatory fluid movements between substantially parallel charged plates (16). Ions are held in place during fluid movement in one direction (because they are held in the electrical double layer), and released for transport during fluid movement in the opposite direction by removing the applied electric field. In this way the ions, such as salt, are "ratcheted" across the charged surface from the feed side (13) to the concentrate side (14). The process itself is very simple and involves only pumps (5), charged surfaces (16), and manifolds for fluid collection.

Title: Method and apparatus for multilingual spelling corrections
Inventor: HILTON DAVID
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: A system and method for multilingual spelling corrections employs a lexicon builder (10), which uses a metadata build process that extracts all words from the data source with which a user will be working, along with their frequencies, to build a lexicon file using the data source (120); and a spell checker algorithm (200), which determines the correct spelling of words used as input for a search of the data source by calculating a score value for words in the lexicon file according to a formula that distinguishes similarity between the input word from the user's search request and words contained in the lexicon file; and then rates the frequency of the input word against the words contained in the lexicon file. When a user inputs a word, words in the lexicon file are scored against it to determine a correct spelling or other spelling variant for the user to select.
