Title: Oil pump with selectable outlet pressure
Inventor: WILLIAMSON MATTHEW
IPC: F16N29/00
Filed: 2012-01-27
Abstract: An oil pressure relief valve for use in the oil pump lubrication system of an internal combustion engine is controlled by both oil pump outlet pressure and by pilot pressure from a pilot valve which is selectively applied by a control member, preferably a two-way valve that is operated by the engine control module. The pilot valve selectively supplies one of the oil pump outlet pressure or the engine gallery pressure to the control member which selectively supplies pilot valve pressure to the oil pump pressure relief valve which has a single piston. The pilot valve includes first and second pistons for selectively controlling back pressure from the pressure relief valve and for managing changes in oil pressure due to changes in the engine gallery to maintain a virtually constant pressure even as oil pump speed increases when the control member connects the pilot valve to the pressure relief valve resulting in a fuel economy benefit and improved control of the oil pump pressure.

Title: Texture masking for video quality measurement
Inventor: ZHANG FAN
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2012-04-23
Abstract: A particular implementation decomposes an image into a structure component and a texture component. An edge strength map is calculated for the structure component, and a texture strength map is calculated for the texture component. Using the edge strength and the texture strength, texture masking weights are calculated. The stronger the texture strength is, or the weaker the edge strength is, the more distortion can be tolerated by human eyes, and thus, the smaller the texture masking weight is. The local distortions are then weighted by the texture masking weights to generate an overall distortion level or an overall quality metric.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating resource management in OFDM systems is provided. The system permits different and flexible resource cell metric operations levels (e.g. uplink load management, admission control, congestion control, signal handoff control) for different sub-bands. For the uplink load management, there are multiple distinct load operation points (e.g. IoT, RoT) per sub-band group instead of the same operation level across the entire available band. The sub-band groups encompass the entire band. The facilitation system also comprises a variety of transmitting protocols, command increment variable stepsize methods and robust command response methods. The system thus provides more flexible reverse link resource management and more efficient utilization of the bandwidth.
