Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120261429Medical Bag - A medical bag is described that has a carrying configuration and a dispensing configuration and comprises a handle for carrying the bag and a space within the bag for accommodating a tapered storage drawer, the space tapering from a wide end to a narrow end and the drawer being of a corresponding shape to the space. When the bag is carried by the handle in the carrying configuration, the bottom surface of the space slopes down towards the narrow end so that gravity acts to force the drawer towards the narrow end of the space; however, because of its size, the drawer cannot pass through the narrow end of the space, thereby retaining the tapered storage drawer within the space.10-18-2012

20080297657METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING TEXT IN A VIDEO STREAM - The disclosed systems and methods achieve improved communication of the text in a video stream. Text may be processed separately from the video stream to suit the capabilities of a display device or to improve the availability of the textual information to users with special requirements. The disclosed methods and systems may be used, for example, in conjunction with set-top-box decoders, mobile telephones, and portable media players with small or low-resolution display screens.12-04-2008
20080298769METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING COMPRESSED VIDEO TO IMPROVE REVERSE PLAYBACK - The disclosed systems and methods achieve improved quality reverse playback of video though techniques for modifying the way in which video is encoded and stored. The methods and systems may be used, for example, in conjunction with a wide variety of media playing and recording devices, such as DVD recorders, set top boxes, personal video devices (PVR), and mobile phones. Any device that allows users to record video, either from a fixed source (e.g., set top box) or from life (e.g., mobile phone with built-in video camera, or a standard digital video camera), may use the disclosed methods and systems to give users a higher quality playback.12-04-2008
20090100252VECTOR PROCESSING SYSTEM - A vector processing system for executing vector instructions, each instruction defining multiple pairs of values, an operation to be executed on each of said value pairs and a scalar modifier, the vector processing system comprising a plurality of parallel processing units, each arranged to receive one of said pairs of values and to implement the defined operation on said value pair to generate a respective result; and a scalar result unit for receiving the results of the parallel processing units and for using said results in a manner defined by the scalar modifier to generate a single output value for said instruction.04-16-2009

20080219588TILED OUTPUT MODE FOR IMAGE SENSORS - Methods and systems for a tiled output mode for image sensors are disclosed and may comprise receiving tiled image data from an image sensor that generates output in a tiled format, and sequentially processing the received tiled image data. The received tiled image data may comprise a plurality of lines. A tile received from the image sensor may overlap at least one neighboring tile. The neighboring tiles may be above, below, to the left and/or to the right of the current tile. The size of the received tiled image data may vary dynamically, and may vary based on, for example, a compression format and/or a desired resolution of the image sensor. The method may also comprise generating the tiled image data from an image sensor, and sequentially processing the generated tiled image data.09-11-2008
