Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention disclose a composition for the colorimetric detection of water in hydrocarbon fuels and a process for the preparation thereof. The embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved method for determining the presence or absence of water in non-polar organic fluids such as petroleum oil or hydrocarbon oils by using an indicator system containing a water insoluble wetting agent and a water soluble dye which can be performed rapidly without costly instrumentation and tedious, time consuming analytical methods.

Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure relate to video encoding and include using an inter mode determination for neighboring blocks, rather than the final prediction mode determination for the neighboring block, when determining an inter mode for a current block. In this way, inter mode and intra mode estimation may be separated and performed in different stages of a multi-threaded parallel video encoding implementation. In addition, this disclosure also proposes generating sub-pixel values in a third stage of the multi-threaded parallel video encoding implementation at a frame level, rather than for each macroblock during inter mode estimation process for that macroblock.

Abstract: A dictionary for compressing and decompressing textual data has a number of keys. Each key is associated with an identifier. The keys include static word or phrase keys, where each static word or phrase key lists one or more unchanging words in a particular order. The keys further include dynamic phrase keys, where each dynamic phrase key lists a number of words and one or more placeholders in a particular order, and each placeholder denotes a place where a word or phrase other than the words of the dynamic phrase key is to be inserted. At least one of the dynamic phrase keys may identify one or more of the words by identifiers for corresponding static words or phrase keys. At least one of the static word or phrase keys may identify one or more of the words by identifiers for corresponding other static words or phrase keys.

Abstract: A gated electrode structure for altering a potential and electric field in an electrolyte near at least one working electrode is disclosed. The gated electrode structure may comprise a gate electrode biased appropriately with respect to a working electrode. Applying an appropriate static or dynamic (time varying) gate potential relative to the working electrode modifies the electric potential and field in an interfacial region between the working electrode and the electrolyte, and increases electron emission to and from states in the electrolyte, thereby facilitating an electrochemical, electrolytic or electrosynthetic reaction and reducing electrode overvoltage/overpotential.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a statistical tree representing an extensible markup language Schema (XSD) is disclosed. Components of the XSD are prioritized according to predefined rules. A root node representing said XSD is created. Pairs of child nodes are generated from the root node. Each pair comprises at least one genuine node, and each pair of generated child nodes is appended to a parent node which is a genuine node. The path to each of said child nodes from a respective parent genuine node is represented with a binary sequence. At least one genuine node is allocated to a corresponding component of said XSD, the allocation being based on the prioritization of the component.

Abstract: A statistical tree representing an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Schema document (XSD) is generated. The statistical tree captures information defined by the XSD by representing elements, attributes, and enumerations of the XSD as branches, nodes, and leaves of the statistical tree. The statistical tree has bits corresponding to nodes of the statistical tree. An XML document defined by the XSD is adaptively encoded, or compressed, as a number of bits based on the statistical tree that has been generated. The number of bits encoding the XML document are decoded, or decompressed, to yield the XML document also based on the statistical tree that has been generated.
