Title: Method and apparatus for concurrently encoding and tagging digital video data
Inventor: PAWSON DAVID J
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: A method and system for providing non-sequential access to visual information that is being digitally encoded in a digital data stream is provided. The digital data stream includes a sequence of video frame data.  Each video frame data in the sequence of video frame data corresponds to a video frame of the visual information. The digital data stream is generated with an encoder. The encoder generates tag data that indicates locations of the video frame data within the digital data stream. The digital data stream is stored at a location from which the digital data stream is delivered to a client. Tag data is stored at a location from which the tag data may be used to provide the client non-sequential access to the digital data stream. A selected set of video frames within the digital data stream is selected based on the tag data in response to a request for non-sequential access by the client. A  second digital data stream that includes the video frame data that corresponds to each video frame of the selected set of video frames is constructed and transmitted to the client.

Title: Furnace with liquid-cooled grate elements
Inventor: SCHLOMS HENNER-SIEGBERT
IPC: F23H3/02
Filed: 2000-06-08
Abstract: The furnace with liquid-cooled grate elements (2.1 to 2.5) has an inflow (24) and a return (22) to these grate elements, the inflow and the return being connected to a condensation device (23) open to the atmosphere. The inflow has arranged in it a U-shaped cooling-liquid seal (25), one leg (26) of which has a liquid head which corresponds to an arbitrarily selected maximum pressure. The other, shorter leg is connected to a central distributor (5) for the individual grate elements of the grate stages (2.1 to 2.5). The distance between the lowest point of the coolant flow of the lowest grate element and the upper point of the shorter leg corresponds to a selectable safety height amount which generates a pressure which counteracts the spread of steam bubbles occurring in the grate elements, so as to prevent a reversal in the direction of flow of the coolant.

Title: Packer with equalizing valve and method of use
Inventor: STROMQUIST MARTY L
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2000-10-02
Abstract: A packer with an equalizing valve for automatically equalizing the pressure above and below the packer element is disclosed. The packer comprises a housing having an equalizing valve disposed therein. A packer element is disposed about the housing for sealingly engaging the wellbore. An equalizing valve is disposed in the housing and seals the housing to prevent flow therethrough when the packer element is actuated to engage the wellbore. The valve is movable in the closed position wherein communication through the housing is prevented to an open position so that the portion of the wellbore above the packer element may be communicated with a portion of the wellbore below the packer element while the element is in the set position so that pressure above and below the element may be equalized. Once the pressure is equalized, the packer can be unset and retrieved from the wellbore.

Abstract: A gravity driven steerable vehicle having wheels, or aids or a combination of wheels and skis for recreational use, most particularly on surfaces such as pavement, artificial hard-pack turf, mountain slopes, dirt roads, grass and hard-packed or non-packed snow.  The vehicle has at least three (3) but preferably four (4) wheels, or skis or a combination of wheels and skis which may or may not be on independent axles one from the other and which may or may not be each independently shock suspended.  There is also a steering mechanism for steering the vehicle and a driver compartment portion for containing a driver of the vehicle in a prone face-down and face-forward position.  The vehicle is steerable by the driver from the prone face-down and face-forward position.  The mechanism for suspension of the wheels and/or skis is configured to provide precise control in turns especially the carving of turns, by the skis, while descending on snow covered terrain.  The attitude of the skis relative to the snow surface changes upon initiation of a turn and while in the turn to increase the edgeing of the skis thereby enhancing the turning characteristics of the vehicle.  The vehicle may further have a braking system for slowing or stopping the vehicle and a harness apparatus for harnessing the driver onto and into the vehicle.

Abstract: Un solvant modifié miscible avec l'eau utilisé pour extraire l'acide acétique des courants aqueux est constitué d'un mélange pratiquement pure d'isomères di-alkyle amines très ramifiés. Ce solvant est pratiquement exempt de mono-alkyle amines et d'alcool. Les mélanges de solvants contenant un tel solvant modifié en plus d'un solvant souhaité, de préférence un hydrocarbure à point d'ébullition bas qui forme un azéotrope avec l'eau, sont utilisés dans l'extraction de l'acide acétique des courants gazeux aqueux. Par ailleurs, un processus de fermentation microbienne anaérobie utilisé pour produire de l'acide acétique, emploie de tels solvants dans des conditions qui limitent la formation d'amide par le solvant, et augmente ainsi l'efficacité de l'opération de récupération d'acide acétique. En outre, les procédés d'extraction directe d'acide acétique et de fermentation extractive d'acide acétique utilisent également ces solvant modifiés et augmentent l'efficacité de production d'acide acétique. Cette efficacité accrue est possible lorsque la source d'énergie utilisée pour la fermentation microbienne contient du gaz carbonique, ce procédé comprenant une étape d'extraction de gaz carbonique précédant l'extraction de l'acide acétique dans le solvant.

Abstract: Where directional transmissions are to be made by multiplexing users in the CDMA communications, a phase offset for setting the antenna balance adaptively is determined. Therefore, the antenna elements for giving the maximum or minimum amplitude are reliably dispersed for the individual users. As a result, uneven amplitude distribution biased to a specific antenna element can be corrected to further lighten the load on a transmission amplifier.
