  • DVCX and DVCY extensions to DVC video compression
    Patent number: 11962788
    Abstract: A video compression method may include providing and transmitting encoder commands for sequences of one or more pixels in a video frame in a YCbCr color space from a set of hierarchal encoder commands. A particular encoder command for a particular sequence may include on of a copy command, a delta command, or a make pixel command. A copy command may indicate that the particular sequence is identical to one of a previous pixel in the video frame, a pixel located above a first pixel of the particular sequence in the video frame, or a pixel in a previous video frame at a location of the first pixel. A delta command may indicate that the particular sequence includes a single pixel with color values equal to the previous pixel in the video frame combined with a signed color delta. A make pixel command may provide color values of particular sequence.

  • MODULARION OF INVARIANT NATURAL KILLER T CELLS IN THE TREATMENT OF SEPSIS
    Publication number: 20170027973
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the modulation of in variant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT Cells) using a Th2-polarizing iNKT Cell agonist, such as an ?-galactosylceramide, synthetic glycolipid OCH, or C20:2 ?-galactosylceramide analog. Said Th2-polarizing iNKT Cell agonists are used the treatment of sepsis and/or apoptosis in a subject. A method of diagnosing early stage sepsis in a subject by measuring a ratio of circulating iNKT cells relative to total circulating T cells in a subject is also disclosed.
