  • Patent number: 8490448
    Abstract: Tubing reaming apparatus comprises a housing adapted to be mounted to tubing to be reamed. The housing provides mounting for a reamer shaft adapted to mount a cutter within the tubing. The housing also provides mounting for a drive arrangement. A gear arrangement is provided between the drive arrangement and the reamer shaft. The housing may comprise a clamping arrangement adapted to reduce residual bend and ovality of the tubing.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040170330
    Abstract: The present invention provides advanced encoding and advanced reconstruction apparatus and methods enabling low bitrate, enhanced coding and quality-enhanced reconstruction, among other aspects. Preferably operating in accordance with a super-domain model, the invention enables the superimposed use of advanced coding tools such as for determining the susceptibility of image data to optimization and degradation avoidance. Other preferred tools also include multi-dimensional diffusion, registration, meta data utilization, advanced constructs, image representation optimization and efficiency optimization. Advanced decoding further enables maximized utilization of received enhanced image data and other information, also preferably in accordance with a super-domain model. Advanced encoding preferably comprises reverse-superresolution encoding and advanced decoding preferably comprises advanced superresolution decoding, which can further be conducted in a distributed and/or cooperative manner.

  • Publication number: 20020171649
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an optimized memory architecture for computer systems and, more particularly, to integrated circuits that implement a memory subsystem that is comprised of internal memory and control for external memory. The invention includes one or more shared high-bandwidth memory subsystems, each coupled over a plurality of buses to a display subsystem, a central processing unit (CPU) subsystem, input/output (I/O) buses and other controllers. Additional buffers and multiplexers are used for the subsystems to further optimize system performance.

  • Patent number: 6466624
    Abstract: An advanced decoder provides enhancement processing in accordance with information previously known only to the decoder and/or encoder. Preferably, advanced digital video image enhancement utilizing bitstream information is provided in an integrated manner with advanced decoding and, more preferably, provides for MPEG decoding and image enhancement. In addition to advanced edge detection and other advanced processing tools, the invention further enables the use of decoder based coding-type operations, such as reverse superresolution, as well as advanced superresolution, and 3-D display processing techniques in conjunction with video processing. The invention is therefore capable of reducing system complexity and/or bandwidth, requirements, and improving system robustness and/or the ultimate quality of the enhanced video signal, among other advantages.
