Title: Power distribution systems
Inventor: CRANE ALLAN DAVID
IPC: B63H23/24
Filed: 2011-06-06
Abstract: In a marine power distribution and propulsion system with a medium voltage distribution busbar (MVAC1) and a low voltage distribution busbar (LVAC1) then a rectifier (SC) is controlled, optionally to provide active filtering and static compensation benefits. A common power supply system incorporating ac generators (G1 -G4) supplies power to the medium and low voltage distribution busbars. The rectifier (SC) is connected to the medium voltage distribution busbar (MVAC1). A controller (Co) uses feedback signals indicative of electrical quantities of the distribution voltages carried by both the medium voltage and low voltage distribution busbars (MVAC1, LVAC1) to control the rectifier (SC) to regulate electrical quantities at the ac terminals of the rectifier (SC) in order to achieve desired electrical quantities of the distribution voltage carried by the low voltage distribution busbar (LVAC1).

Title: Encoding device, encoding method, decoding device, and decoding method
Inventor: HATTORI SHINOBU
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 2011-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to an encoding device and an encoding method, as well as a decoding device and a decoding method, configured to allow a multi-viewpoint image to be encoded and decoded using a format compatible with an existing format. A compatibility encoder encodes a compatible image (A1) in increments of access units and generates a compatible stream. An auxiliary encoder encodes, in increments of access units, the result of multiplexing auxiliary images (B1, C1) used when a multi-viewpoint image is generated from the compatible image, and generates an encoded stream of the multiplexed auxiliary images. A multiplexing unit transmits the compatible stream, a 3DV representation delimiter showing unit boundaries, and the encoded stream of the multiplexed auxiliary images. This technique can be applied to, e.g., an encoding device for encoding a multi-viewpoint 3D image.
