20130052013 | Wide Blade Multiple Generator Wind Turbine - The present invention is a wide blade multiple generator wind turbine, which produces electrical energy by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind to rotate multiple generators. Unlike traditional wind turbines, the present invention uses wide blades to focus on producing more torque rather than rotational speed. The wide blades are concentrically attached to a large drive wheel. The drive wheel is engaged to each of the generators and must be large enough to properly transfer the torque produced by the wide blades to the generators. The present invention could either position the generators concentrically around the drive wheel, which would directly engage the drive wheel to the generators, or position the generators laterally along the base structure, which would engage the drive wheel to the generators through a belt-and-pulley system or a chain-and-gear system. In addition to harnessing wind power, the present invention is design to absorb solar energy through the surface of the wide blades. | 02-28-2013 |

20150208075 | MEMORY MANAGEMENT OF MOTION VECTORS IN HIGH EFFICIENCY VIDEO CODING MOTION VECTOR PREDICTION - In one embodiment of the present invention, a high efficiency video coding codec optimizes the memory resources used during motion vector (MV) prediction. As the codec processes block of pixels, known as coding units (CUs), the codec performs read and write operations on a fixed-sized neighbor union buffer representing the MVs associated with processed CUs. In operation, for each CU, the codec determines the indices at which proximally-located “neighbor” MVs are stored within the neighbor union buffer. The codec then uses these neighbor MVs to compute new MVs. Subsequently, the codec deterministically updates the neighbor union buffer—replacing irrelevant MVs with those new MVs that are useful for computing the MVs of unprocessed CUs. By contrast, many conventional codecs not only redundantly store MVs, but also retain irrelevant MVs. Consequently, the codec reduces memory usage and memory operations compared to conventional codecs, thereby decreasing power consumption and improving codec efficiency. | 07-23-2015 |
