Title: Conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons via hydrogenation
Inventor: JENNINGS JAMES ROBERT
IPC: C10G2/00
Filed: 2012-11-24
Abstract: Carbon dioxide conversion processes are described for the conversion of carbon dioxide via hydrogenation to hydrocarbons. The process utilizes an initial feed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen converted under Fischer Tropsch conditions to hydrocarbons followed by subsequent displacement of the carbon monoxide in the reactor feed with carbon dioxide, which is then converted to carbon monoxide under reverse water gas shift conditions and the initial carbon monoxide feed being terminated once the reverse water gas shift conversion of carbon dioxide. After the optimum reaction conditions are established the feed of carbon monoxide may be withdrawn and any required carbon monoxide provided via reactor effluent recycle. The process provides for enhanced catalyst performance and life.

Title: Improved encoding process using a palette mode
Inventor: GUILLAUME LAROCHE
IPC: H04N19/93
Filed: 2014-10-06
Abstract: HEVC SCC (Screen Content Coding) video coding and decoding may use a palette coding mode. Conventionally, the block of levels built from the Coding Unit and from the palette is encoded using syntax elements, such as the "Pred mode", "Level", and "Run" elements, the latter defining the number of successive indexes of the block of indexes that are concerned by an operation defined by the "Pred mode" and the optional "Level" elements (see fig. 9). In an improvement, the last "Run" element (determined at 1708) for the Coding Unit uses an up-to-end codeword (1710), instead of a codeword associated with a defined number of successive indexes, in order to indicate to perform the operation for the indexes at all remaining block positions up to the last / final / finish of the block of indexes, regardless the number of the remaining block positions. Also disclosed is aborting palette mode encoding if too many pixels are escape coded (claims 7 & 22), copying the previous index entry for a pixel equal to a preceding pixel (claims 12 & 23), and skipping the use of palette prediction if the amount of reused palette entries is below a threshold (claims 17 & 24).

IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2017-08-11
Abstract: In a downlink transmission from a base station to user equipment, multiple mini-slots are defined, each comprising one or more OFDM symbols. Data for transmission is then mapped to an aggregation of these mini-slots and transmitted to the UE with an indication of the scheduling. The aggregated mini-slots may be contiguous or non-contiguous in time, and likewise in frequency. Each mini-slot may comprise a DMRS in its first symbol, and the aggregation may be defined according to the desired repetition rate for the DMRS. The aggregated mini-slots may all be located in the same slot or over multiple slots. The indication of scheduling may be transmitted in DCI in the PDCCH of the slot in which the first mini-slot occurs, and may include the number of mini-slots in the aggregation and the aggregation pattern. The mini-slots may be used to transmit URLLC data by pre-empting previously scheduled transmissions. Aggregation may reduce control overheads as one DCI can schedule multiple mini-slots.
