Title: A textile, system and method
Inventor: PAUL WHITE
IPC: D06F93/00
Filed: 2018-06-13
Abstract: A textile 100 suitable for use with commercial ironing apparatus comprising a leading edge 105 bounded by two comers 107, 109 and at least one feeding direction indicator 111, 113 emphasizing the location of one or both of the two corners. During the laundry process the corners are identified by a user or machine using the indicators and the textile is fed into the ironer via the leading edge 105 by introducing one or both of the two corners 107, 109 to the ironer. The indicators allow faster identification of the corners to feed into the machine in order to facilitate more efficient processing. The textile may be bed linen, for example a duvet cover or other bedding cover comprising front and rear panels (101, 103, fig. 1) and may further comprise hand holes (also at 111, 113- see 127, fig. 3) for easier fitting of the cover to a comforter. Also claimed are methods of use, a method of manufacture and a system including said textile and an ironer.

Inventor: CHRISTOPHE GISQUET
IPC: H04N19/52
Filed: 2019-06-24
Abstract: A method of deriving a motion information predictor candidate for a current image portion of an image. The method has the steps of obtaining a History-based Motion Vector Predictor (HMVP) from a set of one or more motion information predictor(s), where each motion information predictor has been used to process an image portion, and deriving the candidate using the motion information from the obtained HMVP. The method may further include obtaining, when available, motion information associated with a first position and/or a second position in a first reference picture from a first set of one or more reference image(s) and, when available, obtaining motion information associated with a third position and/or a fourth position in a second reference picture from a second set of one or more reference image(s). The HMVP candidate may use a history list which is generated/updated with a First-In First-Out (FIFO) process and a redundancy/duplicate checking and pruning. The video coding method may be used in Versatile Video Coding (VVC). The HMVP/history list may be used in the derivation process for a Temporal Motion Vector Predictor (TMVP) candidate, or in the derivation process of a constructed Affine candidate e.g. for a sub-block Merge candidate list.

Abstract: A system includes a class-D stage (Fig.4, 42), current sensing circuitry, a modulator (Fig.4, 34) and pilot tone injection circuitry. The class-D stage has first and second high-side switches coupled between a supply voltage and respective first and second output terminals, and first and second low-side switches coupled between ground and the respective first and second output terminals. The current sensing circuitry includes a sense resistor (e.g. Fig.1, RSNS) arranged such that an output current through a load (Fig.1, 6) coupled between the output terminals causes a sense voltage (Fig.1, VSNS) proportional to the output current (Fig.1, IOUT) across the sense resistor. The modulator, which may include ramp generation (Fig.4, 50) for generating a periodic triangular waveform VRAMP, generates differential pulse width modulation (PWM) driving signals PWMP, PWMN to drive the high- and low-side switches. The pilot tone injection circuitry (Fig.7, 78, 80) injects a periodic pilot tone into the PWM driving signals at a pilot tone frequency fPILOT, for example, by modulation of a common-mode offset ΔVCM of the periodic triangular waveform at the pilot tone frequency. A method of operating the system and an amplifier comprising the system are also provided. The system may include measurement circuitry and may be used to isolate and compensate for common mode leakage in measurement of current through a sense resistor of a differential class-D output.
