Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110002672HEATER WITH IMPROVED AIRFLOW - The present room heater includes a housing supporting internal electric heat sources. The housing surrounds the heat sources with an interconnected serial series of chambers made from heat-conducting material. Air is motivated by an electric fan through the series of chambers to effect stepped uniform heating, as well as optimal heating as the air moves through preheat chambers and then closely past the heat sources to an outlet opening. The chambers are made using modular and relatively simply-made components that interfit to form the chambers, such that multiple configurations are possible, including stacked and laterally-adjacent versions. The modular components include a flat part, hat-shaped part, and U-shaped part that interfit to define a first elongated chamber and a second elongated chamber that wraps onto three sides of the first elongated chamber, the hat-shaped part having end-located notches to permit flow of air between the chambers.01-06-2011

20090132692SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STARTING SERVER SERVICES - In one embodiment, services are not loaded if they are not needed by the user and if no services needed by the user are dependent upon them. In one embodiment, server services are represented as nodes in a graph data structure. Connections between the nodes indicate dependencies between the server services. The graph is sorted to create an ordered list of services which can be used to startup the services. In another embodiment a server services manager reads license files and user inputs and marks the ordered list of services to indicate which services are to startup.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120069179APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING VISUAL ACUITY - Disclosed is an apparatus and associated method an apparatus and method for assessing visual acuity of an image captured by a digital security camera. The user is able to select a desired level of visual acuity based on displayed sample images and receive data regarding the hardware, settings, and placement required to reproduce the desired level of acuity. The sample images may account for acuity variations based on the type of object being imaged.03-22-2012

20110187392FLOW METER - A flow meter includes a main body having a first end and a second end, a flexible electrical resistor coupled to the main body and extending outwardly from the second end thereof, wherein an electrical resistance of the flexible electrical resistor varies in response to a flexure thereof, and an electrical circuit in electrical communication with the electrical resistor to detect a flexure of the electrical resistor.08-04-2011
20120036937ELECTRONIC READOUT FOR PISTON-TYPE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE - A piston-type differential pressure gauge provides an electronic output for remote monitoring. A linear potentiometer, in communication with a magnetic portion of the piston of the gauge, tracks the location of the piston. Resistance change in the potentiometer can be used by an electronic circuit to provide the electronic output of the differential pressure remotely to a data acquisition system or control electronics.02-16-2012

20080314809FILTER MONITOR - A filter monitor is disclosed capable of sensing the presence of water in the filter. The sensor utilizes changes in capacitance of a water absorbing media which functions as a dielectric disposed between a pair of electrodes. The sensor is in communication with a valve means to interrupt the transient fluid when a predetermined amount of water is present in the fluid.12-25-2008

20110194618COMPATIBLE COMPRESSION OF HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE, VISUAL DYNAMIC RANGE, AND WIDE COLOR GAMUT VIDEO - A first image stream has a first dynamic range and a first color space. First and the second image streams are received in a layered codec. The second image stream has a second dynamic range, which is higher than the first dynamic range. The first image stream is in the codec's base layer; the second image stream is in its enhancement layer. The first image stream is encoded to obtain an encoded image stream, which is decoded to obtain a decoded image stream. The decoded image stream is converted from the first non-linear or linear color space to a second, different color space to obtain a color converted image stream. A higher dynamic range image representation of the color converted image stream is generated to obtain a transformed image stream. Inverse tone mapping parameters are generated based on the transformed image stream and the second image stream.08-11-2011

20100266041ADAPTIVE MOTION ESTIMATION - Optimal error metric function for motion estimation is determined and used for video coding and/or video processing of images. To do so, an initial motion estimation using an initial error metric function can be performed. This can produce motion prediction errors. If the initial error metric function is not the optimal error function, then a final motion estimation is performed using a selected optimal error metric function. In some embodiments, a shape of error distribution can be used to determine the optimal error metric function. Some example systems or devices for this motion estimation can include systems or devices for compression, temporal interpolation, and/or super-resolution processing.10-21-2010

20120008678Quantization Control for Variable Bit Depth - The quantization parameter QP is well-known in digital video compression as an indication of picture quality. Digital symbols representing a moving image are quantized with a quantizing step that is a function QSN of the quantization parameter QP, which function QSN has been normalized to the most significant bit of the bit depth of the digital symbols. As a result, the effect of a given QP is essentially independent of bit depth a particular QP value has a standard effect on image quality, regardless of bit depth. The invention is useful, for example, in encoding and decoding at different bit depths, to generate compatible, bitstreams having different bit depths, and to allow different bit depths for different components of a video signal by compressing each with the same fidelity (i.e., the same QP).01-12-2012
