20080267293Video Encoder Software Architecture for VLIW Cores - This invention is a method of video encoding. The number N macroblocks stored in a temporary buffer depends upon an estimated number of motion vectors. N macroblocks of current and prior frame data is transferred to the temporary buffer. The invention determines for each macroblock whether to be inter frame predicted or intra frame predicted. The inter and intra macroblocks are separately encoded based upon this determination and stored in an output buffer. Output macroblocks are output from the output buffer in raster scan order. This technique permits the process to loop over differing number of macroblocks in differing parts of the encoding process. Entropy encoding complexity from separating inter and intra macroblock encoding is avoided by separating a symbol generation phase from an encoding phase.10-30-2008

20080253443ENTROPY CODING FOR DIGITAL CODECS - A method and systems are provided for efficiently implementing content adaptive variable length coding on a modern processor. Some embodiments comprise encoding a non-zero coefficient in an array of coefficients in an iteration of an encoding loop. The code value of the encoded non-zero coefficient is determined, at least in part, by the magnitude of another non-zero coefficient in the array of coefficients. A run of zero coefficients preceding a non-zero coefficient in the array of coefficients is also encoded in the iteration of the encoding loop. The encoded non-zero coefficient is appended to an encoded video bitstream when encoded. The encoded run of zero coefficients is stored in a storage device and appended to the encoded video bitstream after all non-zero coefficients in the array of coefficients have been encoded.10-16-2008

20080255462LIGHT STICK - Described herein is a device used to perform medical examinations. The device includes at least one sidewall and at least one end, wherein the sidewall at least partially defines both a chemical housing and a handle portion. The chemical housing preferably includes a light source disposed therein. A reflective layer may be applied to at least a portion of the sidewall defining the chemical housing.10-16-2008
20090118624DEVICE FOR ORAL CAVITY EXAMINATION - Described herein is a device used to perform examinations for detection of abnormal epithelial tissue, the device includes a handle portion, a housing and a mirror assembly secured to an end of the housing. The housing has first and second ends and is detachably connectable to the handle. The housing defines an interior and an opening that communicates the interior with an exterior of the housing when the handle and housing are connected.05-07-2009
