Abstract: A modular apparatus displays and dispenses merchandise at first and second dispensing locations placed at plural dispensing tiers at a point-of-purchase adjacent a display shelf. A first pusher-track assembly extends along a first path of travel of first serially arranged packages, and dividers are spaced apart to straddle the first path of travel and the first serially arranged packages.  A second pusher-track assembly is secured to each of the dividers, elevated altitudinally above the first pusher-track assembly, and extends along a second path of travel of second serially arranged packages. A securing arrangement integrates the second pusher-track assembly with the dividers within the apparatus, with the first and second forward dispensing locations spaced apart altitudinally to establish the plural dispensing tiers at the point-of-purchase. A  stabilizing arrangement stabilizes the dividers against inadvertent movements relative to the display shelf to complete a stable apparatus. Multiple dividers and counterpart pusher-track assemblies enable the modular apparatus to provide any selected number of display and dispensing bays.

Title: Advanced interpolation techniques for motion compensation in video coding
Inventor: KARCZEWICZ MARTA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2009-04-10
Abstract: This disclosure describes various interpolation techniques performed by an encoder and a decoder during the motion compensation process of video coding. In one example, an encoder interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on a plurality of different pre defined interpolation filters. In this example, the decoder receives a syntax element that identifies an interpolation filter, and interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on the interpolation filter identified by the syntax element.  In another example, a method of interpolating predictive video data includes generating half-pixel values based on integer pixel values, rounding the half-pixel values to generate half-pixel interpolated values, storing the half-pixel values as non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values, and generating quarter-pixel values based on the non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values and the integer pixel values.

Title: Multiple-block downhole anchors and anchor assemblies
Inventor: OBREJANU MARCEL
IPC: E21B23/01
Filed: 2009-10-23
Abstract: Multiple-block downhole anchors and anchor assemblies are provided. A downhole anchor assembly for a tubing string includes an anchor block, a drag block, a biasing arrangement, and a mandrel to be coupled to the tubing string. The anchor block moves, with rotation of the mandrel, between a run position out of contact with a well bore and a set position in contact with the well bore to set the downhole anchor assembly in the well bore. The drag block contacts the well bore at least when the anchor block is out of contact with the well bore. The biasing arrangement biases the anchor block away from the well bore and the drag block toward the well bore. The anchor block is thus protected from the well bore by the drag block, and the biasing arrangement provides for automatic un-setting of the anchor block when torque is removed from the mandrel.
