  • Patent number: 11843769
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a reference picture index of a temporal merging candidate. An inter-picture prediction method using a temporal merging candidate can include the steps of: determining a reference picture index for a current block; and inducing a temporal merging candidate block of the current block and calculating a temporal merging candidate from the temporal merging candidate block, wherein the reference picture index of the temporal merging candidate can be calculated regardless of whether a block other than the current block is decoded. Accordingly, a video processing speed can be increased and video processing complexity can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11837970
    Abstract: A circuit is operative to extract electromagnetic wave energy from the ground via a resonant transformer in which resonance is triggered by electrical charge arcing across a spark gap. A center tap of the primary winding of the transformer is capacitively coupled to an electrode buried in the ground. In-rush current from the ground electrode is converted to a useful form (e.g., one- or three-phase 60 Hz AC) by a power conversion circuit connected to the secondary winding of the resonant transformer. The ground electrode of the capacitor coupling the grounded electrode to the center tap primary winding is the shield of a Faraday cage enclosing the resonant transformer, spark gap, and a high-voltage power supply exciting the spark gap.

  • Patent number: 11836203
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving the quality of subsequent searches. A request is received from a user to perform a search using the term(s) provided by the user. A search is then performed using the provided term(s). A representation of the search result is depicted as an area (e.g., bubble) with terms of interest displayed outside the area. The area represents a set of documents that were found in the performed search and the terms of interest represent terms that may be of interest to the user based on this set of documents. These terms of interest may be selected by the user to adjust the search result. In this manner, the user is presented with an intuitive view as to how different terms or different searches will have an impact on the search results thereby improving the quality of subsequent searches.

  • Patent number: 11828054
    Abstract: A commode has a suctioning exhaust to capture and remove gasses and any other fluids harboring waste. A pressurizing element may maintain around a 0.01-inch water column or more negative pressure airflow into the bowl and out of the vent. The suctioned air can be communicated outside a space having the toilet and waste to prevent any inhabitant or user from interacting with the same. Suction may be taken at any point and at any level, including shutting off or increasing suction at desired times or in response to detected use. A moveable lid and/or seat to the toilet may close the same by rotation and carry a portion of the suctioned exhaust. Systems are useable with existing plumbing and ventilation systems.

  • Patent number: 11829339
    Abstract: An improved query system in which registered sex offender information published in state and territory databases is obtained using an improved data scraper, merged, cleaned, and/or enriched to remove inaccuracies is described herein. Users can then perform a single search or multiple searches simultaneously (e.g., perform batch searches) and view the results in a single content page. The improved query system can use the merged and/or cleaned data to generate a more limited set of search results, reducing the amount of mismatched or inaccurate information that a user may have to navigate through. Thus, users can perform one or more searches and view accurate search results without having to navigate through many different windows or content pages or perform additional navigational steps to identify relevant information.
