Title: Procede et systeme d'estimation du mouvement global de sequences video
Inventor: NIGHTINGALE CHARLES
IPC: G06T3/00
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne l'estimation du mouvement global entre des trames d'une séquence vidéo codée entre-trames à compensation de mouvement, directement depuis les vecteurs de mouvement codés dans les trames. Pour n'importe quelle trame particulière, une estimation de mouvement est déterminée à partir des vecteurs de mouvement directement depuis la trame d'ancrage de la trame vers la trame en question. Cette estimation de mouvement est ensuite vérifiée avec les critères prédéterminés, et si les critères ne sont pas satisfaits, une nouvelle estimation est effectuée sur un trajet différent, au moyen des vecteurs de mouvement bidirectionnels contenus dans les trames B. L'invention porte aussi sur un procédé et un système de génération d'images panoramiques utilisant les estimations de mouvement global ainsi obtenues.

Title: Process and installation including solvent deasphalting and ebullated-bed processing
Inventor: COLYAR JAMES J
IPC: C10G65/18
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a novel method for economically processing vacuum residue from heavy crude oils by selectively processing the difficult and easy components in reactors whose design and operating conditions are optimized for the specific feed. The process utilizes an integrated solvent deasphalting (SDA)/ebullated-bed design wherein the heavy vacuum residue feedstock is initially sent to an SDA unit operated with C4/C5 solvent to achieve a high deasphalted oil (DAO) yield. The resulting SDA products, namely asphaltenes and DAO are separately treated in ebullated-bed reactor(s) systems whose design and operating conditions are optimized for a particular feedstock. The resulting net conversion, associated distillate yield and product qualities are greatly improved relative to treatment of the entire residue feedstock in a common ebullated~bed reactor, system.

Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: A method of making an optical filter wheel of a device synchronizable with an internal, rotatable virtual reference wheel, created in a memory of a motor controller of the device, is disclosed. The method includes a single trigger event that initializes rotation of the virtual reference wheel. The controller determines the orientation of an optical filter wheel of the device and maintains an ongoing representation of said orientation over time. The controller controls the motor, which causes the filter wheel to become coincident with the virtual reference wheel after the trigger event. A  self-contained light fixture is also disclosed, which includes an optical filter wheel driven by an electric motor that is synchronizable with an internal, rotatable virtual reference wheel of the fixture. The method and light fixture permits optical filter wheels of multiple light fixtures, which may be identical, to synchronize with one another.

Title: Expansion device with low refrigerant charge monitoring
Inventor: TARAS MICHAEL F
IPC: F25B49/00
Filed: 2004-10-27
Abstract: An air conditioning or refrigeration system includes an expansion device that has a plurality of operating positions. When the expansion device is in a fully open position, the expansion device provides an indication to a system controller regarding that position. The controller responsively determines if the fully open position of the expansion device is caused by an undesirably low amount of refrigerant charge in the system. In one example, the controller rules out other possible reasons for the expansion device being in the fully open position. In one example, the controller automatically shuts down appropriate portions of the system to avoid any component damage that may result from having too low refrigerant amount in the system.

Patent CA-2545940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUAN JIANWEI OLIVER
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: Systems and methods of retrieving and presenting partial (skipped) document content are provided. A typical system includes a document parsing stage, a device request for content stage and a delivery of requested content stage. A  target device can include a device presentation of the requested content stage. The system parses the content of an electronic document and generates a document object model (DOM) representation of the electronic document, where each source and destination target is assigned a document object model identifier (DOM ID). In some instances, upon completion of parsing, the document object model is then paginated in computer memory into segments of a certain size called chunks; in such instances the pagination operation can update each DOM ID with an additional information attribute containing the chunk index with the purpose of establishing a relationship between a document object model identifier and the corresponding chunk index. Thus, when a device requests specific content corresponding to the DOM ID the chunk index value indicates the correct chunk to be returned to the device. The device initiates a document viewing experience by requesting, parsing and displaying an initial chunk of document content as delivered by the corresponding server. The device can, upon parsing the data chunk, record navigational information provided in the form of link information containing corresponding DOM ID and Chunk Index information. The link information can in certain instances be presented visually by a dotted underline.
