| 20130128121 | Methods and Apparatus for Video Completion - Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for video completion that may be applied to restore missing content, for example holes or border regions, in video sequences. A video completion technique applies a subspace constraint technique that finds and tracks feature points in the video, which are used to form a model of the camera motion and to predict locations of background scene points in frames where the background is occluded. Another frame where those points were visible is found, and that frame is warped using the predicted points. A content-preserving warp technique may be used. Image consistency constraints may be applied to modify the warp so that it fills the hole seamlessly. A compositing technique is applied to composite the warped image into the hole. This process may be repeated until the missing content is filled on all frames. | 05-23-2013 |

| 20140157005 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A SECURE AND DEDUPLICATED WRITE ONCE READ MANY VIRTUAL DISK - A method and apparatus is provided for the operation of a secure and deduplicated write once read many virtual disk which exceeds the write performance of traditional cryptographic methods. This is achieved through the utilization of a time-memory tradeoff via the empty space on a virtual disk at format time. Traditionally empty space is zeroed to indicate that data is not present. When implementing the apparatus, the empty space is filled with the output of a symmetric-key algorithm uniquely keyed for that specific disk. From an information theoretic point of view, the format operation stores cryptographically structured data, rather than purely redundant data, enabling the write operation that encodes data to be stored on the disk to operate without additional cryptographic computation. This reduced computation requirement for encoding enables the computation required deduplication to operate as if encoding was not being performed, resulting in a net throughput increase. | 06-05-2014 |

| 20130161545 | Electromagnetic Valve - An electromagnetic valve for use in controlling fluid flow between first and second passageways in a hydraulic valve block includes a valve body. The valve body defines a central axis, has a central opening therethrough, and has a lower end adapted to be inserted into a bore of the valve block. A hollow valve dome is attached to an upper end of the valve body. An armature is axially moveable within the valve dome. A spring biases the armature in one axial direction. A closing element is coupled to a lower end of the armature. An electromagnetic coil coaxially surrounds the armature and is operable to effect axial movement of the armature in an axial direction opposite the one axial direction. A valve seat member is carried by a lower end of the valve body and has an orifice providing fluid flow between the first and second valve block passageways. The valve seat member defines a valve seat that surrounds the orifice and cooperates with the closing element for selectively closing the orifice. The valve seat member is formed as a deep drawn part and includes a tubular portion having one end defining a valve seat, and an opposite end connected to the valve body. | 06-27-2013 |
| 20150130265 | Solenoid Valve Having Hydraulic Damping Mechanism - A solenoid valve for fluid control of a vehicular hydraulic braking system includes an armature having a damping port. The damping port of the armature provides a turbulent fluid flow characteristic to fluid passing through the armature that creates a damping characteristic to attenuate noise and vibrational disturbances that is generally less sensitive to temperature and viscosity conditions of the fluid. | 05-14-2015 |

| 20100231975 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF HARDWARE-ASSISTED ASSEMBLY OF DOCUMENTS - Embodiments include systems and methods of hardware-assisted assembly of documents. For example, one embodiment comprises a memory configured to store documents and at least one processor configured to identify a template for generating a document. The template defines at least one field having a specified position and length within the document. The processor is further configured to store a copy of the template to the memory so as to initialize the document and to store characters based on data associated with the field to a location of the memory associated with the field. The processor further stores, based at least in part on the text and the length of the field, one or more indicators of at least one portion of the field to be removed from the document. The system further includes a circuit configured to read the document from the memory and remove the portion of the field based on the indicators. The system thus assembles an assembled document that is reduced in size relative to the initially generated template document. | 09-16-2010 |
