Patent CA-2809174-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMSON ALLAN ROBERT
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2006-03-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wave energy conversion device (1), for use in relatively shallow water, which has a base portion (2) for anchoring to the bed of a body of water (6) and an upstanding flap portion (8) pivotally connected (12) to the base portion. The flap portion is biased to the vertical and oscillates, backwards and forwards about the vertical in response to wave motion acting on its faces. Power extraction means extract energy from the movement of the flap portion. When the base portion (2) is anchored to the bed of a body of water (6) with the flap portion (8) facing the wave motion, the base portion (2) and the flap portion (8) extend vertically through at least the entire depth of the water, to present a substantially continuous surface to the wave motion throughout the full depth of water from the wave crest to the sea bed. A plurality of devices can be interconnected to form one system. The distance between the plurality of flaps is dependent on the wavelength.

Title: Video coding using vector quantized deblocking filters
Inventor: HASKELL BARIN GEOFFRY
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-07-06
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to use of dynamically assignable deblocking filters as part of video coding/decoding operations. An encoder and a decoder each may store common codebooks that define a variety of deblocking filters that may be applied to recovered video data. During run time coding, an encoder calculates characteristics of an ideal deblocking filter to be applied to a mcblock being coded, one that would minimize coding errors when the mcblock would be recovered at decode. Once the characteristics of the ideal filter are identified, the encoder may search its local codebook to find stored parameter data that best matches parameters of the ideal filter. The encoder may code the reference block and transmit both the coded block and an identifier of the best matching filter to the decoder. The decoder may apply the deblocking filter to mcblock data when the coded block is decoded. If the deblocking filter is part of a prediction loop, the encoder also may apply the deblocking filter to coded mcblock data of reference frames prior to storing the decoded reference frame data in a reference picture cache.

Title: Gas turbine engine with transmission
Inventor: ULLYOTT RICHARD
IPC: B64D35/00
Filed: 2014-01-29
Abstract: A multi spool gas turbine engine with a differential having a selectively rotatable member which rotational speed determines a variable ratio between rotational speeds of driven and driving members of the differential. The driven member is engaged to the first spool and a rotatable shaft independent of the other spools (e.g. connected to a compressor rotor) is engaged to the driving member. First and second power transfer devices are engaged to the first spool and the selectively rotatable member, respectively. A circuit interconnects the power transfer devices and allows a power transfer therebetween, and a control unit controls the power being transferred between the power transfer devices. Power can thus be transferred between the first spool and the selectively rotatable member to change the speed ratio between the first spool and the rotatable shaft.
