20100033141 | Generating system - Within generator systems maintenance of stability in terms of voltage is desirable. Generally, several generators will be arranged in parallel within the generator system with one generator voltage controlled to provide dynamic responsiveness to load switching. With regard to some loads which are generally of an active nature, the capacity of a first generator, which is voltage controlled, may be insufficient to adequately avoid transient voltage instability. By providing an actuator signal from a load to act as a pre-emptive or forward feed to an electrical current controlled generator, that second electrical current generator can be arranged to provide additional or reduced electrical current to avoid system voltage instability. | 02-11-2010 |
20100038969 | Method and system for electrical power generation - Electrical power generation systems typically comprise an electrical power distribution arrangement in which a number of electrical power generators are coupled in parallel. In such circumstances in order to avoid conflict generally a first electrical power generator is controlled with a voltage controller whilst second electrical power generators have electrical current controllers. As loads are switched into and out of the electrical distribution system in normal operation the first electrical power generator and its voltage controller can accommodate voltage dynamics and therefore maintain a desired voltage. However, in order to accommodate heavier loads switching, the dynamic operation of the electrical current controller is achieved through utilising operational voltage margins from a desired voltage as control signals to the electrical current controller. A threshold is provided above which the electrical voltage margin must operate and regimes are provided to determine continued increase or fall in the operational voltage to allow continued dynamic control of the electrical current in order that voltage stability can be re-established with regard to electrical power distribution arrangements. | 02-18-2010 |

20100111180 | Scene change detection - There is provided a method and apparatus for scene change detection for use with bit-rate control of a video compression system. The method and apparatus may be used for scene change detection in intra-coded and/or inter-coded pictures.

For an intra-coded picture, the complexity data is a monotonically increasing function of a quantisation parameter and a compressed bit number used in the compression step for the partial compression from which the complexity data is determined. For an inter-coded picture, the complexity data is determined from a combination of a) the change of temporal prediction difference in relation to the average prediction difference of previous inter-coded pictures, b) the intra-coded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture in relation to the average intra-coded macroblock number in previous inter-coded pictures, and c) the intra-coded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture in relation to the total encoded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture. | 05-06-2010 |
