Title: Segmenting an Image to Optimize Encoding Costs
Inventor: LASSERRE SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2012-09-28
Abstract: Segmenting a frame of pixels into a plurality of blocks each having a block type comprises performing an initial segmentation S100 of the frame into a set of initial blocks, and determining a block type associated with each initial block. For each block type, an associated set of quantisers is determined S104 based on data corresponding to pixels of blocks having the block type. The segmentation is selected S106, from among a plurality of possible segmentations defining an association between each block of this segmentation and an associated block type, which minimizes an encoding cost. The cost is estimated based on a measure of the rate necessary for encoding each block using the set of quantisers associated with the block type of the encoded block according to the concerned segmentation. The segmentation can therefore be modified to optimize the encoding cost. A frame of pixels may be encoded, e.g. using scalable encoding, in which segmentation of the frame as described above is used. Further disclosed are method and devices for encoding/decoding video data in which a segmentation of an image into blocks is represented as a quad-tree having a plurality of levels each associated with a block type and leaves associated with the blocks.

Title: Remote subterranean tool activation system
Inventor: TAIT ALASDAIR
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2012-03-08
Abstract: An actuation tool uses a lock that when released allows a moving magnet to move into position to repel another magnet. The repelling force on the second magnet moves it away from a locking position on a stored potential energy system where the release of the potential energy creates kinetic energy to drive an actuation assembly to set the tool. In a preferred application the tool can be a liner hanger. The release device can be a selectively energized electromagnet or a solenoid that shifts at least one magnet into alignment with at least one second magnet so as to defeat the second magnet from effectively storing the potential energy that can set the tool when the lock is defeated.

Title: Method of controlling a waste gate valve of a turbocharger
Inventor: LANDSMANN GERHARD
IPC: F02B37/18
Filed: 2013-08-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling a waste gate valve 290 for a turbocharger 230 of an internal combustion engine 110, the waste gate valve comprising a waste gate actuator 295. The method performs the steps of determining a target value of the duty cycle of a pulse width modulated signal, estimating a pressure drop as a function of a current value of the duty cycle and said target value of the duty cycle and determining a duty cycle step as a function of said pressure drop. A transient value of the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal is determined, wherein said transient value corresponds to the current value of the duty cycle reduced by the duty cycle step. A time interval is determined and the transient value of the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal is applied to the waste gate actuator 295 during said time interval after which the target value of the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal is applied. The method results in applying a fictitious larger pressure step for a duty cycle of a waste gate control valve as it opens, resulting in a rapid response time.
