Patent GB-2514043-A (GB)
Title: Instruction Merging Optimization
Inventor: GSCHWIND MICHAEL KARL
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2013-02-19
Abstract: A computer system for optimizing instructions is configured to identify two or more machine instructions as being eligible for optimization, to merge the two or more machine instructions into a single optimized internal instruction that is configured to perform functions of the two or more machine instructions, and to execute the single optimized internal instruction to perform the functions of the two or more machine instructions. Being eligible includes determining that the two or more machine instructions include a first instruction specifying a first target register and a second instruction specifying the first target register as a source register and a target register. The second instruction is a next sequential instruction of the first instruction in program order, wherein the first instruction specifies a first function to be performed, and the second instruction specifies a second function to be performed.
Patent GB-2520613-A (GB)
Title: Target region fill utilizing transformations
Inventor: PRICE BRIAN L
IPC: H04N13/02
Filed: 2014-10-07
Abstract: System and method comprising: identifying a patch to be used to fill a target region in an image of a scene, step 702; transforming the patch using depth information of the scene, step 704; filling at least a portion of the destination area using the transformed patch, step 706. Depth data may be calculated from disparity of a pair of stereoscopic images (step 802, fig. 8), or obtained from depth sensors. Transformation may involve scaling, including upscaling and downscaling, that may be uniform or non-uniform. A similarity metric based on texture may be used to select the source patch. Transformation may involve warping using a homography that maps or rotates a three dimensional plane of the source patch to the 3D plane of the fill patch. 3D scene structure may be computed from depth information. Gradients of source regions may be compared to those of fill patches. Scaling may address perspective effects such as foreshortening and may use a ratio of disparities between the patch and target area.

Title: Method for using FPGA to realize 32-Bit addressing and accessing of SV data
Inventor: XIAO ZHENGQIANG
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2013-10-28
Abstract: Provided is a method for using an FPGA to realize 32-bit addressing and accessing of sample value (SV) data, for a device in an intelligent transformer substation to process digital SV data. The method comprises the following steps: an FPGA receives a raw packet of SV data based on the IEEE802.3 standard, analyzes the data structure of an Ethernet frame, utilizes the characteristics of the ASN.1 encoding rule to reorganize the SV data of a network byte order according to the Ethernet frame characteristics of the SV data, and converts the reorganized SV data into data capable of being directly accessed by a pure 32-bit addressing processor, thus greatly improving SV decoding efficiency. When a pure 32-bit addressing processor splits and reintegrates via software the SV data of a network byte order, the efficiency is dramatically reduced. The present invention solves the problem, and improves the decoding efficiency by 5-10 times.
