Patent CA-2639317-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUNDO OSCAR HORACIO
IPC: B65D90/48
Filed: 2008-09-05
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring and/or controlling the level of a liquid, specially fuel, contained in a reservoir. The apparatus comprises means supporting a pivot member inside the reservoir, the pivot member comprising a stationary body fixed relatively to the supporting means and a rotary body connected to a lever, the free end of which carries a float. The rotary body includes a permanent magnet and the stationary member houses a magnetic sensor located within the magnetic field of the permanent magnet.  Angular movement of the lever produces rotation of the magnet and is detected by the magnetic sensor which emits signals to a micro processor which, in turn, transmits such signals to external processing means. The processing means correlate such signals, which are proportional to variations in the liquid level, to the volume of liquid contained in the reservoir.

Patent CA-2645352-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAVEENDRAN VIJAYALAKSHMI R
IPC: H04N7/46
Filed: 2007-03-29
Abstract: This disclosure describes adaptive video encoding and decoding techniques for encoder-assisted frame rate up-conversion (EA-FRUC). An encoder selectively encodes at least a portion of a video frame, such as a block, using an interpolated FRUC frame as a reference. The encoder interpolates at least a portion of the FRUC frame at the same time instance as the yet to be encoded video frame, and selects one of a plurality of FRUC encoding modes for that portion, e.g., based on rate distortion (RD). The encoder encodes the frame using the selected FRUC encoding mode, the FRUC reference frame, and any additional reference frames that may be indicated. A decoder interpolates the FRUC frame and uses it or decoding with knowledge of the particular FRUC mode that was used by the encoder. The encoder communicates the FRUC mode for a block via one or more existing parameters in the encoded video frame.
