Title: Flow-through consumable anodes
Inventor: TOMANTSCHGER KLAUS
IPC: C25D5/06
Filed: 2012-11-02
Abstract: Anode applicators include consumable anodes, that can be operated in a non-stationary mode and are insensitive to orientation, are used in selective plating/brush electrodeposition of coatings or free-standing components. The flow-through dimensionally- stable, consumable anodes employed are perforated/porous to provide relatively unimpeded electrolyte flow and operate at low enough electrochemical potentials to provide for anodic metal/alloy dissolution avoiding undesired anodic reactions. The consumable anodes include consumable anode material(s) in high surface area to reduce the local anodic current density. During electroplating, sufficient electrolyte is pumped through the consumable anodes at sufficient flow rates to minimize concentration gradient and/or avoid the generation of chlorine and/or oxygen gas and/or undesired reaction such as the anodic oxidation of P-bearing ions in the electrolyte. The active consumable anode material(s) can have a microstructure which is fine-grained and/or amorphous to ensure a uniform anodic dissolution.

Title: Coding picture order count values identifying long-term reference frames
Inventor: WANG YE-KUI
IPC: H04N19/14
Filed: 2012-11-30
Abstract: In general, techniques are described for coding picture order count values identying long-term reference pictures. A video decoding device comprising a processor may perform the techniques. The processor may determine least significant bits (LSBs) of a picture order count (POC) value that identifies a long-term reference picture (LTRP). The LSBs do not uniquely identify the POC value with respect to the LSBs of any other POC value identifying any other picture in a decoded picture buffer (DPB). The processor may determine most significant bits (MSBs) of the POC value. The MSBs combined with the LSBs is sufficient to distinguish the POC value from any other POC value that identifies any other picture in the DPB. The processor may retrieve the LTRP from the decoded picture buffer based on the LSBs and MSBs of the POC value, and decode a current picture of the video data using the retrieved LTRP.

IPC: G10H7/00
Filed: 2015-01-06
Abstract: A sound reproduction and interfacing device that is quickly, and non-permanently affixed onto an acoustic musical instrument or other resonant object. The device converts audio signal inputs from an external audio source, such as a portable electronic device, into vibrations, which are translated into sound by the resonant object's intrinsic sound-conductance and amplifying properties. It comprises a receptacle body which encloses the electronic and mechanical components that transmit and process an input audio signal, and ultimately convert the signal to vibrations. Importantly, the device comprises mechanisms that allow quick and simple mounting and removing of the device onto/from the resonant object and that provide a contact surface between the device and the object's resonant surface, without requiring permanent modification to the object. The device can comprise components that capture audio produced by the resonant object and transmit the captured signal back to the original audio device or another device.
