Abstract: Methods and systems for semantic encoding by a user equipment (UE) are configured for determining an expected power consumption for encoding video data that includes semantic features, the semantic features representing a meaning of information represented in video frames of the video data; encoding one or more video frames of the video data using a selected a semantic representation of one or more video frames of the video data, the semantic representation being selected based on the expected power consumption that is determined; and transmitting the encoded video data including the semantic representation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using foam to remove pollutants and/or heavy metals from a flowable media. The method may include providing a foam that may include cavities wherein the cavities may include an adsorbent composition of iron oxyhydroxy granules. The iron oxyhydroxy granules may have a BET surface area of >100 m2/g and a mean particle size of 0.1 mm-2 mm. The method may further include passing a flowable media containing pollutants and/or heavy metals through the foam wherein the pollutants and heavy metals may be removed from the flowable media by the iron oxyhydroxy granules. A method of manufacturing the foam is also disclosed. The method may include introducing an adsorbent composition into a liquid reaction composite to form a mixture and adding an isocyanate reaction component to the mixture to form the foam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to foams containing an adsorbent composition and a process for their production and also to use thereof.

Abstract: In an IC chip, a novel precomputation architecture and process which grants improved reductions in power dissipation, requires less logic to implement, and relaxes critical timing constraints. A first computation circuit is used to calculate output values if precomputation cannot be performed. However, if the output values can be precomputed, a second circuit is used to calculate the output values. The second computation circuit is smaller, simpler, and consumes less power than the first computation circuit. An extremely small and simple decision circuit, which dissipates a minimal amount of power, is used to determine whether precomputation is possible. This determination is made at a previous cycle, whereas the actual computation of the output cycles are postponed to be performed in a subsequent cycle.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process for determining a signal function for use in controlling the application of signal operands to a circuit-implemented function for the purpose of power reduction. The present invention receives a netlist represented as a graph data structure having nodes interconnected with signal lines. A node can have one output (single fan-out) or can have more than one output (multiple fan-outs). Termination points of the graph are identified as inputs to registers or primary outputs. From the termination points, and using a breadth-first traversal process, the present invention traverses each node of the netlist. A parent node is not processed in the breadth-first traversal until all of its child nodes have been processed. During traversal, an activation signal function is constructed for each input of a node. If the node has multiple outputs then a disjunctive Boolean expression is used, otherwise a conjunctive Boolean expression is used to determine the activation signal function.
