Abstract: A system for predicting exit from an occupant support, includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and a frame having at least one force sensor which outputs a force signal in response to force exerted thereon. The system also includes machine readable instructions stored in the memory which cause the system to perform at least the following actions when executed by the processor: 1) determine a property of the signal during an interval of time, 2) classify the property as suggesting an exit event or as not suggesting an exit event, and 3) if the property is classified as suggesting an exit event, generate a notification thereof.

Abstract: Coding method complexity types are assigned to video for combinations of coding decision levels associated with a sequence of pictures, a group of pictures, a scene, a region of the scene or picture, a block or macroblock. Multiple coding units are encoded as a function of complexity and determined from the coding decision levels. A first coding decision level is associated with determining a first complexity and a first coding method type for the sequence of pictures. A second coding decision level is associated with determining a second complexity and a second coding method type for the pictures or scene. The picture or sequence includes the coding units. A third coding decision level is associated with determining a third complexity and a third coding method type for the coding units.
