20130083855 | ADAPTIVE COLOR SPACE SELECTION FOR HIGH QUALITY VIDEO COMPRESSION - Intraframe video compression schemes are optimized for compression of high quality media, such as media encoded in RGB 4:4:4 format. The optimization uses an encoder that applies a 2D spatial linear transform to subframe portions of image data to generate coefficients, adaptively selects a favored color space representation for representing the coefficients, and signals the selected color space representation in the compressed video stream. The selection of color space for each subframe image portion is performed by comparing the compression efficiency of the portion in each of a plurality of color spaces. To minimize computational cost, efficiencies are estimated by applying rate-distortion models for the applied compression scheme to coefficients of each portion. | 04-04-2013 |

20090003438 | Fixed bit rate, intraframe compression and decompression of video - High quality intraframe-only compression of video can be achieved using rate distortion optimization and without resizing or bit depth modification. The compression process involves transforming portions of the image to generate frequency domain coefficients for each portion. A bit rate for each transformed portion using a plurality of scale factors is determined. Distortion for each portion is estimated according to the plurality of scale factors. A scale factor is selected for each portion to minimize the total distortion in the image to achieve a desired bit rate. A quantization matrix is selected according to the desired bit rate. The frequency domain coefficients for each portion are quantized using the selected plurality of quantizers as scaled by the selected scale factor for the portion. The quantized frequency domain coefficients are encoded using a variable length encoding to provide compressed data for each of the defined portions. The compressed data is output for each of the defined portions to provide a compressed bitstream at the desired bit rate. | 01-01-2009 |

20090277924 | REAR LOADING GATE FOR MERCHANDISING SYSTEM - A merchandising and product display system includes a space defined between a pair of generally parallel dividers. At a rear end of each divider, a rear loading gate is mounted to permit product containers to be inserted through the rear into the opening and to prevent products from being pushed from within the space through the rear of the space. The loading gate includes a pair of wings extending less than halfway across the width of the opening. The wings are hingedly mounted to a central portion permitting the wing to be deflected forward and rearward, and include a rearward extending bulkhead that engages the central portion. The engagement of the bulkhead and the central portion prevents the wings from being deflected sufficiently to permit a product container from passing the gate. | 11-12-2009 |
20100107670 | VENTILATED MERCHANDISING SYSTEM - A ventilated merchandising system for products displayed in merchandise coolers such as refrigerator or freezer cases. One embodiment of the merchandising system includes a base member and a platform coupled to the base member such that air can flow between the platform and the base member. One or more plenum plates can be coupled to the base for directing air between the platform and the base member. A pusher plate may also be coupled to and movable along the platform for advancing products along the platform. A baffle system that may be coupled to a merchandising tray and a method of distributing air flow within a merchandise cooler unit are also provided. | 05-06-2010 |

20140076621 | ACOUSTICALLY QUIET CAPACITORS - The described embodiments relate generally to printed circuit boards (PCBs) including a capacitor and more specifically to designs for mechanically isolating the capacitor from the PCB to reduce an acoustic noise produced when the capacitor imparts a piezoelectric force on the PCB. Conductive features can be mechanically and electrically coupled to electrodes located on two ends of the capacitor. The conductive features can be placed in corners where the amplitude of vibrations created by the piezoelectric forces is relatively small. The conductive features can then be soldered to a land pattern on the PCB to form a mechanical and electrical connection while reducing an amount of vibrational energy transferred from the capacitor to the PCB. | 03-20-2014 |
