Title: Entropy encoder with first and second, bypass encoding systems
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2011-11-15
Abstract: A data coding apparatus and method are disclosed in which a set of ordered data, such as image data, is entropy encoded, wherein which each data item is split into respective subsets of data to be encoded by first (e.g., context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) or context adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC)) encoding and second (e.g., bypass) encoding systems so that, for a predetermined quantity of encoded data generated in respect of a group of data items by the first encoding system, variable (zero or more) data is generated for that group of data by the second encoding system. A stream assembler generates an output data stream from data encoded by the first and second encoders comprising successive packets of a predetermined quantity of data from the first encoding system (CABAC packet) followed, in a data stream order, by the zero or more data from the second encoding system (bypass packet) for the same data items as those encoded by the first encoding system. Added padding data bits may have the same value as a data termination symbol, or take values of corresponding bits at a subsequent data stream beginning.

Title: Solar heating system including a heat pump
Inventor: MUSGROVE ADRIAN
IPC: F24D18/00
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: The solar heating system comprises at least one solar collector 1 and at least one heatable device 2. A fluid transport loop conveys a fluid from the solar collector(s) to the heatable device(s) by a supply conduit 3, and back again by a return conduit 4. A first 8 and second 6 heat exchanger are in thermal communication with the supply and return conduit respectively. The first and second heat exchangers are linked via a heat pump 9 so as to facilitate extraction of thermal energy from the fluid at the second heat exchanger and reintroduction of thermal energy to the fluid at the first heat exchanger. The heatable device(s) may comprise a hot water tank or a central heating radiator (2, figure 1), or alternatively a turbine or heat engine 11 that provides power to the heat pump. Use of the heat pump increases the thermal efficiency of the system since the fluid is very cold when returning to the solar collector(s) and very hot when entering the heatable device(s).

Title: Quantising video data according to different quantisation matrices for different chrominance sub-sampling formats
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2012-06-22
Abstract: A video coding/decoding method and associated apparatus that generates blocks of quantised spatial frequency data by quantising the video data according to a selected quantisation step size and a matrix of data (that may be an 1 x N matrix such as scaling table) modifying the quantisation step size for use at different respective block positions within an ordered block of samples. The method is operable with respect to at least two different chrominance sub-sampling formats (such as the 4:2:0, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 formats.) For at least one of the chrominance sub-sampling formats at least one quantisation matrix is defined as a predetermined modification of at least one reference quantisation matrix that is defined for a reference chrominance sub-sampling format. The invention enables a reference quantisation matrix to be defined for a reference sub-sampling format (that may be the 4:2:0 format) and then quantisation matrices for other formats (such as 4:2:2 or 4:4:4) can be defined from this reference matrix. Also disclosed is a method in which, for least one of the chrominance sub-sampling formats, matrix coefficients of a quantisation matrix are defined as a function of the coefficient position within the matrix.
