Title: Method and apparatus for encoding media data comprising generated content
Inventor: FRANCK DENOUAL
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2017-03-27
Abstract: Media data (e.g. video, audio) composed of a plurality of samples (i.e. timed unit of data, e.g. video frame) is encoded to obtain encoded media data which is encapsulated (e.g. according to ISO BMFF, Base Media File Format) in a set of at least one first track (301, 305, 309). A second track (310) is generated wherein the second track comprises references to at least one of the first tracks. The second track further comprises a description of the set of transformation operators (341-344) to be applied to the first track samples (i.e. generation rules), e.g. in the metadata header or sample table box (320). The data part of the generated track may be marked as empty. Alternative versions of the media can be provided by using the transforms described in the second track(s) on the media samples of the first track. Different versions may therefore be supplied without having to encapsulate all of them. Also described is the second track describing samples representing the result of applying the transformation operator(s) to the samples of at least one first track.

Title: Packer or bridge plug backup release system of forcing a lower slip cone from a slip assembly
Inventor: Jeffery S Pray
IPC: E21B33/129
Filed: 2015-12-09
Abstract: A tool equalizes a packer or bridge plug before it can release the slips and sealing element of the packer or bridge plug with a reconfigurable grip tool. In one configuration the grip tool is latched only into the equalizing mechanism for the packer or bridge plug. Having equalized the pressure and while still latched to the equalization mechanism the tool is reconfigured with a force and locked into a second configuration. From that position the grip tool can latch and move the release mechanism for total release and retrieval to the surface. Release force undermines a ratchet lock for the slips to allow extension as the sealing element extends axially and radially retracts. If the slips fail to release with undermining of the ratchet lock then a set down force can be applied to re-engage the lower slip cone to push it from the lower slips for a release.
