Patent CA-2868294-C (CA)
Title: Polycrystalline chalcogenide ceramic material
Inventor: ROZENBURG KEITH GREGORY
IPC: H04N5/33
Filed: 2013-04-15
Granted: 2020-03-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a polycrystalline IR transparent material produced by sintering chalcogenide powder, e.g., ZnS powder, using hot uniaxial pressing followed by hot isostatic pressing. The microstructure of the material described in this disclosure is much finer than that found in material produced using the state of the art process. By using a powder with a particle size fine enough to improve sintering behavior but coarse enough to prevent a lowering of the wurtzite-sphalerite transition temperature, a highly transparent material with improved strength is created without degrading the optical properties. A high degree of transparency is achieved during hot pressing by applying pressure after the part has reached a desired temperature. This allows some degree of plastic deformation and prevents rapid grain growth which can entrap porosity. The crystallographic twins created during this process further inhibit grain growth during hot isostatic pressing.

Title: Biomedical electrode
Inventor: FISK ANDREW E
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2014-10-31
Granted: 2021-06-01
Abstract: A biocompatible, implantable electrode for electrically active medical devices. The implantable medical electrode has a surface geometry which optimizes the electrical performance of the electrode, while mitigating the undesirable effects associated with prior art porous surfaces. The electrode has an optimized surface topography for improved electrical performance. Such a electrode is suitable for devices which may be permanently implanted in the human body as stimulation electrodes, such as pacemakers, or as sensors of medical conditions. Such is achieved by the application of ultrafast high energy pulses to the surface of a solid, monolithic electrode material for the purpose of increasing the surface area and thereby decreasing its after-potential polarization.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for video coding including an Intra transform Skip mode is disclosed. When the transform Skip mode is ON for a transform unit, embodiments according to the present invention apply different coding processes to the transform unit. The coding process with the transform Skip mode ON uses a different scan pattern from the coding process with the transform Skip mode OFF. According to various embodiments, the transform Skip mode is enabled when the transform unit size is 4x4, the prediction unit and the transform unit having the same size, or the prediction unit uses an INTRA_NxN mode. When the transform Skip mode is enabled, a flag can be signaled in the bitstream to indicate the transform Skip mode selection. Furthermore, the flag can be incorporated in a picture level, a slice level or a sequence level of the video bitstream.

Granted: 2020-08-25
Abstract: This application is directed to providing improvements in the field of heating, ventilating and cooling systems. There is often a technical problem in structures having multiple zones that cause variable temperature profiles. The present disclosure provides a method of balancing a volume of conditioned air delivered to multiple zones by deploying a temperature sensor in each zone.  Conditioned air is then introduced to each zone. Temperature measures for each zone using the temperature sensors are recorded to develop a temperature-time profile for each zone. Identify temperature-time profiles varying from other temperature-time profiles by more than a preselected amount and tune air flow in response. Temperature measures are recorded over several time periods to develop an average temperature profile for each zone from the multiple temperature-time profiles. Identify average temperature-time profiles varying from other average temperature-time profiles by more than a designated margin and tune air flow in response.
