Title: Sand control crossover tool with mud pulse telemetry position
Inventor: AARON C HAMMER
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2014-08-07
Abstract: A completion tool for gravel packing screens incorporates an added position to allow redirection of flow to a signal transmission tool at the needed flow rates to optimize signal to noise ratios by creation of a discrete flow path that channels the desired flow directly to the device and using the production tubing and upper annulus as the balance of the flow circuit. The Smart Collet has a landing location for this position which is preferably between the circulation and reverse positions of the crossover tool. The wash pipe assembly can have a shifting tool that closes the sleeve over the gravel exit ports for the information transmittal such ports can thereafter remain closed because the gravel packing is complete but for the reversing out of excess gravel which happens above the gravel exit ports.

Title: Data processing systems
Inventor: Michal Karol Bogusz
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 2016-11-22
Abstract: A data processing system includes a scaler operable to scale a received input data array (30) (e.g. even or odd frame of an image) to provide a scaled output version (31) of the input array. When it is desired to produce a de-interlaced and scaled (e.g. horizontally or vertically) output version of an input array, the scaler scales the input array so as to simultaneously de-interlace and scale the input array and to produce a de-interlaced and scaled output version of the input array at the same time. This may be achieved by the selection of scaling parameters which may be based on the ratio of the size of the output array to the input array, e.g. initial vertical or horizontal phase offset (which may be negative), being different for odd and even fields. The input array may comprise a rotated and/or flipped version of a data array (figs. 19-22).

Filed: 2017-04-26
Abstract: A method of monitoring power consumption of a circuit and in response to detecting a change in power consumption of the circuit, adjusting power dissipated by a power consumption levelling circuit to at least partially counter the change in power consumption of the circuit. The circuit comprises a first portion for receiving a power supply voltage, and a power correction portion configured to consume a correction power, to increase the correction power in response to a decrease in the power supply voltage and to decrease the correction in response to an increase in power supply. This power levelling circuit can be applied to Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device comprising a transducer, wherein there is first circuit for operating the transducer and connected to a supply terminal for receiving power. The MEMS transducer may be operated by a semiconductor die comprising the circuits. The correction power may be adjusted based on the change in the supply voltage. The invention sets out to improve power supply rejection (PSR) performance of MEMS microphones by regulating the dissipated power in the circuit, which allows the circuit to control the variation of heat across the device, and therefore keep it at a constant temperature.

Title: Method for deriving a temporal predictive motion vector, and apparatus using the method
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/176
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: Method of decoding a video signal using merge mode and a candidate list. A spatial merge candidate is derived S1000. A collocated reference index of a collocated picture of the current block is signaled, and the collocated picture is determined based on the collocated reference index S1010. A temporal merge candidate is obtained from the collocated picture by scaling a motion vector of a collocated block in the collocated picture S1020. A merge candidate list including the spatial and temporal candidates is generated S1030. Inter prediction is performed based on the list by obtaining a motion vector and a reference picture index of the current block based on the list and obtaining a prediction block of the current block using the motion vector and a reference picture indicated by the reference picture index of the current block. The current block is then reconstructed using the prediction samples and residual samples. The collocated picture is included in a first reference picture list or a second reference picture list according to reference picture list information.
