20110200305 | LOW BANDWIDTH TELEVISION - The present invention is concerned with client-side production in a personal computer environment of low bandwidth images and audio. A series of low bandwidth still images along with a “script” and audio data is sent over a network in a client/server architecture or is read from a compact disk or other memory. A “director” module residing in a client personal computer uses the “script” to tell the computer how to execute a sequence of “moves” on the still images. These moves include cuts, dissolves, fades, wipes, focuses, flying planes and digital video effects such as push and pull. Moves within a still image occur in real time, and are relatively smooth and continuous as compared to prior art network video. Low bandwidth is achieved because most of the production is done at the client location without relying upon slow, bandwidth-limited downloading of conventional network video formats. | 08-18-2011 |

20130101052 | Multi-Channel Variable Bit-Rate Video Compression - Systems, method, and computer program products for providing multi-channel variable bit-rate video compression are described. In some implementations, video channels can be allocated with bit rates that are set based on a predefined video compression quality. More specifically, each channel can generate a table describing the set of video compression quality values each corresponding to a bit rate value that can be used to achieve that video compression quality value. To generate the table or pre-compression coding information, encoders of the system described herein can pre-encode each input signal at multiple, different bit rates, and record the video compression quality value achievable at each of the bit rates. The system also can use lesser number of encoders for pre-encoding, supplemented by data interpolation, to generate the pre-compression coding information, requiring less processing algorithm but at an expense of lower accuracy. | 04-25-2013 |

20140025320 | Redundancy For Improved Stack Health Monitoring Reliability - A health monitoring system for a fuel cell stack using current fuel cell architecture to enable the electronic control unit (ECU) to continue to monitor the health of the fuel cell stack despite a component failure. The system uses an embedded measurement module (EMM) connected to a group of fuel cells in the fuel cell stack to monitor the health of that group of fuel cells. The EMM produces a pulse width modulation signal that is sent to the ECU. A total voltage value for the group of fuel cells is embedded into the calibration signal or end of frame sequence. The ECU uses an algorithm to determine a missing voltage of at least one fuel cell in the event of the component failure of that fuel cell by adding up the cumulative value for each fuel cell reporting their voltage and subtracting that value from the total voltage value found in the end of frame sequence. | 01-23-2014 |
