Title: Method and apparatus of face independent coding structure for VR video
Inventor: JIAN-LIANG LIN
IPC: H04N19/597
Filed: 2017-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus of video encoding or decoding for a video encoding or decoding system applied to multi-face sequences corresponding to a 360-degree virtual reality sequence are disclosed. According to embodiments of the present invention, at least one face sequence of the multi-face sequences is encoded or decoded using face-independent coding, where the face-independent coding encodes or decodes a target face sequence using prediction reference data derived from previous coded data of the target face sequence only. Furthermore, one or more syntax elements can be signaled in a video bitstream at an encoder side or parsed from the video bitstream at a decoder side, where the syntax elements indicate first information associated with a total number of faces in the multi-face sequences, second information associated with a face index for each face-independent coded face sequence, or both the first information and the second information.

Title: Generating a vector predicate summary
Inventor: Alasdair grant
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2018-12-20
Abstract: Vector processing circuitry performs data processing in multiple parallel processing lanes, where the data processing is performed in a subset of the multiple parallel processing lanes determined by bit values of a vector predicate which are set (E.g. Figure 2A). Predicate monitoring circuitry 60 is responsive to the vector predicate to generate a predicate summary value in dependence on the bit values of the vector predicate. A first value of the predicate summary value (e.g. 1 in Figure 3B) indicates that a sparse condition is true for the vector predicate, the sparse condition being true when the bit values of the vector predicate comprise a set bit corresponding to a vector element at a higher index immediately followed by a non-set bit corresponding to a vector element at a lower index (see logic gates 61 to 67). A second value of the predicate summary value (e.g. 0 in Figure 3C) indicates that the sparse condition is not true for the vector predicate. Improved predicate controlled vector processing is facilitated.

Title: System for determining electric parameters of an electric power grid
Inventor: Brian berry
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 2019-06-25
Abstract: A fault level at a second location in an electric power grid is monitored by measuring a fault level at a first location and using a correlation between the first and second locations to model the fault level at the second location where measurement data is not available. A stimulus to the grid, e.g. power consumption or provision from a device connected to the grid, is used to measure a fault level by measuring current and voltage at the first location in response to the stimulus. The fault level may be related to impedance and may be a grid strength or short circuit capacity. The fault level at the second location may be mapped from the measurement data and a correlation between electrical characteristics of the first and second locations e.g. by machine learning. The stimulus may be intentionally applied or may be an endogenous stimulus from normal grid operation.

Title: Magnetically programmable actuators for tactile conveyance of information
Inventor: Wallace Pitts
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 2019-04-24
Abstract: This patent describes magnetic Braille cell actuator structures which include Braille pin movement and latching mechanisms. In one example, the Braille pin can be kept at reading position all time by a small force spring and latching of Braille pin can be realized by controlling movement of a latching bar underneath the Braille pin by a combination of electromagnet and permanent magnets working together. In a second example, the Braille pin can be moved between reading and rest positions through the repulsive and attractive interaction between a programmable magnet and a permanent magnet; while the latching of Braille pin is through the jumping and tilting action of the Braille pin onto a latching stage through the horizontal and vertical interactive magnetic forces. The unique magnetic Braille pin movement and latching mechanism enables very low power consumption of Braille display while Braille pin matching the standard spacing.
