20110078162 | WEB-SCALE ENTITY SUMMARIZATION - Described is a summarizing a web entity (e.g., a person, place, product or so forth) based upon the entity's appearance in web documents (e.g., on the order of hundreds of millions or billions of webpages). Webpages are separated into blocks, which are then processed according to various features to filter the number of blocks to further process, and rank the most relevant blocks with respect to the entity that remain. A redundancy removal mechanism removes redundant blocks, leaving a set of remaining blocks that are used to provide a summary of information that is relevant to the entity. | 03-31-2011 |
20120155543 | VIDEO CODEC AND MOTION ESTIMATION METHOD - The invention provides a video codec. In one embodiment, the video codec is coupled to an outer memory storing a reference frame, and comprises an interface circuit, an in-chip memory, a motion estimation circuit, and a controller. The interface circuit obtains in-chip data from the reference frame stored in the outer memory. The in-chip memory stores the in-chip data. The motion estimation circuit retrieves search window data from the in-chip data with a search window, and performs a motion estimation process on a current macroblock according to the search-window data. The controller shifts the location of the search window when the current macroblock is shifted, marks a macroblock shifted out from the search window as an empty macroblock, and controls the interface circuit to obtain an updated macroblock for replacing the empty macroblock in the in-chip memory from the reference frame stored in the outer memory. | 06-21-2012 |
20130169657 | DEVICE FOR AIDING THE PRODUCTION OF A MESH OF A GEOMETRIC DOMAIN - Device for aiding the production of a mesh, includes storing first numerical data defining a surface to be processed, a partitioner calculating three-dimensional work cells given initial points, each work cell associated with a point in space, a tiling tool actuating the partitioner with a first set of initial points, defined with respect to the surface, so as to obtain a first set of work cells, an evaluator calculating a cumulative quantity representing the sum of the moments of the points of the work cells with respect to their associated points, and an optimizer iteratively actuating the tiling tool and the evaluator with a set of initial points drawn from the previous sets, according to a rule calculated to minimize said cumulative quantity. The moments are determined by a chosen nonnative function, of order higher than or equal to two and/or according to an adaptation matrix representing an anisotropy field. | 07-04-2013 |
20130223532 | MOTION ESTIMATION AND IN-LOOP FILTERING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREOF - A motion estimation method is provided. The method has the following steps of: determining a start searching point according to multiple neighboring macroblocks of a current macroblock, wherein the current macroblock corresponds to a searching window; determining a best candidate pixel according to a first line segment where the start searching point is located, and a second/third line segment above/beneath the first line segment; determining whether the best candidate pixel is located at the first line segment; if so, setting a candidate motion vector corresponding to the best candidate pixel as a first motion vector of the current macroblock; and if not, dynamically adjusting the second line segment or the third line segment in the searching window to update the best candidate pixel, and retrieving the first motion vector of the current macroblock corresponding to the updated best candidate pixel. | 08-29-2013 |

20140189291 | Method And Apparatus For Integral Image Computation Instructions - A method is described that performing an image integral calculation by creating a second vector and creating a third vector. The second vector is created by executing a first instruction that adds alternating elements of a first vector to respective neighboring elements of the first vector and presents resulting summations into said second vector. The first instruction also passes through the respective neighboring elements to said second vector. The third vector is created by executing a second instruction that adds elements of one side of the second vector to an element of another side of the second vector and passes through the another side of the second vector. | 07-03-2014 |
20140265306 | SEPARATELY REPLACEABLE SEAL SYSTEMS FOR USE WITH A PRESSURE TRANSMITTER - A replaceable seal system with high and low sides connectable to a coplanar inlet plate on a pressure transmitter. A first side of the seal system can be replaced without disturbing the sealing of a second side of the seal system. The seal system includes a stack of first and second plates with a central split line. At least one of the first and second plates is split along the central split line to provide for separate replacement on only one side of the system. | 09-18-2014 |
20140341280 | MULTIPLE REGION VIDEO CONFERENCE ENCODING - Systems and method may provide for a computing device that encodes multiple regions of a video frame at different quality levels.
