Title: Error Concealment in Motion Estimation of Video Data using Irregular Grid of Cells
Inventor: FLOCH HERVA LE
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-07-29
Abstract: Video containing frames of blocks of pixels is transmitted from encoder to decoder. The encoder extracts motion vectors from a frame 1(t-1) preceding the frame 1(t) being encoded, and creating an irregular grid of cells, the cell sizes based on motion information, e.g. complexity in the frame, at a respective position. This gives a motion vector field of an irregular grid of differently-sized cells, each cell associated with a motion vector. The motion vectors are transmitted to the decoder as auxiliary information along with usual motion prediction information (i.e. motion vector field and block residuals) of the frames (at least frames 1(t-2), 1(t-1) and 1(t)). The decoder receives the motion prediction information, with missing slice, and auxiliary information, and rebuilds the irregular grid for frame 1(t) based on the frame 1(t-1) as the encoder did and fills the cells with the motion vectors from the auxiliary information, thus recreating an estimated motion vector field for the current frame 1(t) for subsequent error concealment/decoding/displaying. An encoded video bitstream with minimum auxiliary (i.e. error concealment) information is thereby sent, thus enabling frame reconstruction of the video bitstream if a slice of the frame is lost.

Title: Directional drilling with an inclined bit motor and clutch
Inventor: GURJAR RISHI
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2012-03-07
Abstract: Method of directional drilling a wellbore by injecting a fluid through a coiled tubing string having a bottom hole assembly 100 comprising a BHA motor (201, Fig 2A), drill bit motor 110, drill bit 105 and a clutch (C figures 2A-F). The clutch stores a first orientation in the rotary mode and the drill bit motor rotates the drill bit to drill a wellbore. The clutch is shifted from the rotary mode to a bypass position. The clutch is shifted to a sliding mode after the bypass position which allows rotation of the drill bit motor until the tool face is at a first orientation and slide drills the wellbore at the first orientation. The clutch can be shifted to the bypass position in several ways, by lifting the drill bit from the bottom of the wellbore, reducing an injection rate of drilling fluid or stopping the injection of drilling fluid.

Title: Rate Optimisation for Scalable Video Transmission
Inventor: BOCUS MOHAMMUD ZUBEIR
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2012-03-15
Abstract: Data such as video is scalably encoded (204), providing an encoded base layer which can be progressively supplemented by one or more enhancement layers as channel capacity allows. Rate values defining transmission rates corresponding, respectively, to transmission of the base layer data alone and the base and enhancement layers, on the basis of a prevailing condition of the communications channel used to transmit are determined (202). The base and enhancement layer data are produced on the basis of the determined rate values (e.g. by adapting quantisation parameters). Layers for transmission are selected and extracted (210) from the previously produced layers (206) on the basis of current channel information for the communications channel (at 208). As such, definition of bounds for the base and enhancement layer(s) is governed by long-term channel information, while selection of layers for transmission at a particular time is governed by short-term, or instantaneous, channel state considerations. Determining the rate values may comprise optimizing to maximize an expected transmission rate on the basis of prevailing channel information describing past channel transmission rate performance, which may involve maximizing (e.g. by performing a convex optimisation) a weighted sum of probabilities of transmitting at specific rates.

Title: Determining the size and position of objects using ultrasound
Inventor: BARTYLLA DAVID
IPC: G01S15/931
Filed: 2012-07-23
Abstract: A method for determining the size and position of objects in the environment of a vehicle is disclosed. At least one directional ultrasound signal, comprising at least two different frequencies is generated by a transmitter. Echoes of the ultrasound signal are detected by a receiver. The environment of the vehicle is swept by swivelling the direction of radiation. The position and size of objects reflecting the ultrasound signal are determined from the received echoes. The receiver is disposed at a distance from the transmitter that is less than ten wavelengths of the received echo, or constitutes an identical component with the transmitter; and receives a direct echo at a frequency that corresponds to the difference of the two emitted frequencies. Additional receivers, receiving further echoes, positioned more than ten wavelengths of the ultrasound echo from the transmitter, may be present. Further signals may be radiated simultaneously in differing directions, each signal coded with differing frequencies and phases.
