| 20090307158 | METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING ADVERTISING MATERIAL THROUGH RETAIL BUSINESS - Disclosed are various methods of advertising one business (advertiser) using another business, which is a retail service or retail sales business, and is not an advertising service business or agent. Some embodiments involve distributing an advertising material of the advertiser to customers of the retail business. The advertising material includes a useful item and advertisement of the advertiser integrated in the useful item. The useful item induces the customers to keep the advertisement for a relatively long period. Some embodiments involve affixing advertisement of the advertiser onto an automobile of a customer of the retail business and providing a value to the customer to induce acceptance of affixing the advertisement. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100100488 | INFRASTRUCTURE COMMODITY SAVINGS ACCOUNT - Disclosed is a method and system for an infrastructure commodity savings account program in the context of supplying an infrastructure commodity to a plurality of designated premises for consumption. The method includes receiving a purchase request from a customer for purchasing the infrastructure commodity for future use and selling a quantity of the infrastructure commodity to the customer at a first time with a condition that the infrastructure commodity will not be supplied for consumption for a period from the sale. The method further includes saving the sold quantity of the infrastructure commodity in an infrastructure commodity savings account of the customer; receiving a withdrawal request for withdrawal of the infrastructure commodity from the infrastructure commodity savings account; and processing withdrawal of the infrastructure commodity from the infrastructure commodity savings account at a second time. In the system and method, at least one of receiving the purchase request, selling a quantity, saving the sold quantity, receiving withdrawal request and processing is performed by one or more computing device comprising a processor and a memory. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20110010490 | SOLID STATE DRIVE AND RELATED METHOD OF OPERATION - A solid state drive (SSD) comprises an input/output interface and a memory controller. The input/output interface stores a plurality of input/output commands. The memory controller comprises first and second input/output contexts and an input/output scheduler. The first and second input/output contexts process input/output commands from the input/output interface in an alternating sequence. The input/output scheduler schedules operations of the first and second input/output contexts. In particular, the input/output scheduler suspends execution of a first input/output command by the first input/output context upon determining that an execution time of the first input/output command exceeds an interval before a deadline time. After suspending execution of the first input/output command, the input/output scheduler transmits a second input/output command to the second input/output context. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20110158315 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING USING PREDICTION DIRECTION CONVERSION AND SELECTIVE ENCODING - The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for encoding/decoding videos using prediction direction change and selective encoding. The present disclosure provides a video encoding apparatus that encodes the current block of a video, comprising a rectangle encoder for dividing and then successively encoding the current block at input into rectangular block units to output a rectangularly encoded bitstream; a square encoder for encoding the current block at input in square block units to output a squarely encoded bitstream; and an encoding selector for calculating the encoding costs of the rectangularly encoded bitstream and the squarely encoded bitstream so as to output the bitstream with a minimum encoding cost. According to the present disclosure, the prediction accuracy may be increased when encoding or decoding videos so that video encoding efficiency can be improved. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110211640 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING MOTION VECTOR, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING/DECODING IMAGE USING SAME - A method and an apparatus for encoding a motion vector, and a method and an apparatus for encoding/decoding an image using the same are closed. The apparatus includes: a prediction candidate selector for selecting one or more motion vector prediction candidates; a predicted motion vector determiner for determining a PMV among the one or more motion vector prediction candidates; and a differential motion vector encoder for calculating a differential motion vector encoder for calculating a DMV by subtracting the predicted motion vector having been determined, from the current motion vector, and encoding the d having been calculated. The apparatus encodes a motion vector by using the prediction motion vector which is more accurately predicted, and reduces an amount of bits required for encoding information of the predicted motion vector, thereby improving the compression efficiency. | 09-01-2011 |
