Publication number: 20190285500Abstract: A device for use in pressure sensing such as hydrocephalus shunts, having a housing enclosing a chamber with at least one port communicating with the chamber. A wall of the chamber includes a flexible portion or thin diaphragm that deflects with transitions in pressure to contact an upstand structure of the housing. A pressure sensor is contained within an enclosure sealed from the chamber by a flexible membrane and which receives fluid pressure from the chamber. This arrangement allows for calibration of the device by identifying a knee feature in pressure data associated with the diaphragm making contact with the upstand.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2017Publication date: September 19, 2019Applicant: Auckland UniServices LimitedInventors: David Mortimer BUDGETT, Dixon Pok Chung LEUNG, John Daniel MCCORMICK

Patent number: 9530451Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing the amount of network bandwidth used by a distributed video editing system. A server dynamically chooses from among several encoding options, depending on the context and network conditions. The server makes every attempt to transmit a given video frame only once over the network. Depending on network performance, the quality of the transmitted video may vary. A frame identification technique is used to improve efficiency to avoid duplication of rendering work. On the client, the frame identity is used by the client to cache the frames individually, at varying qualities. These frames are cached on the client indefinitely. When the client prepares to play a frame, it examines its local cache of frames and chooses either a local cached frame or requests a remote frame at a different quality, based on the context.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Enzo Guerrera, Daniel McCormick, Soenke Schnepel, Christian Erickson
