  • Patent number: 11935295
    Abstract: A method for processing a video stream includes obtaining frame data of a current frame of the video stream, determining frame difference data based on a comparison of the frame data of the current frame and scene cache data for a previous frame of the video stream, the scene cache data being stored in a scene cache for the video stream, determining, based on the frame difference data, regions of the video stream to be re-sampled at a higher resolution than the frame data, obtaining re-sampling data for the determined regions, updating the scene cache data based on the obtained frame data and the re-sampling data, and providing the re-sampling data to a processor to update an analysis scene cache for the video stream.

  • Publication number: 20220025145
    Abstract: A polyetherimide-based foam contains specific amounts of a nucleating agent and a polyetherimide having a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 to 80,000 grams per mole and a dispersity of 2.7 to 4.5. The foam has a density of 20 to 60 kilograms per meter3, and a closed cell content of 80 to 100 percent. The foam can be prepared by a method that combines the nucleating agent and polyetherimide with a blowing agent that includes specific amounts of acetone and methanol. Also described are articles that include the foam.

  • Patent number: 9869085
    Abstract: A bracket assembly for connecting an overhead roof structure to below roof structure elements of a building. The below roof structure elements include a wall having a top plate member or ceiling support structure. The bracket assembly includes overhead fixing members, a bracket member, bearing member, sleeve member, and below roof structure fastener, which are interconnected and fastened together. One end of the bracket member is connectable to the overhead fixing members to the overhead roof structure and the other end is connectable to the below roof structure fastener which is connectable to the below roof structure. The bearing and sleeve members are located and connected between the bracket member and the below roof structure such that the bracket member rests without loading on the bearing member which then rests on the sleeve member which when used rests without loading on the below roof structure, providing structural integrity.

  • Patent number: 9337466
    Abstract: A power terminal connector includes a flexible conductor having a first mounting portion, a second mounting portion and a flexible section between the first and second mounting portions. The first mounting portion is terminated directly to a power terminal of a first battery module. A female terminal is coupled to the second mounting portion. The female terminal has a terminal body having a receptacle receiving a power terminal of a second battery module. The terminal body is terminated to the second mounting portion to mechanically and electrically connect the terminal body to the flexible conductor. A contact spring is received in the receptacle and is electrically connected to the terminal body.

  • Patent number: 9065192
    Abstract: A power terminal connector includes a terminal having a terminal body defining a receptacle. The terminal body has a front end open to the receptacle that receives a power terminal. The terminal body has a series of notches separated by posts at the front end. A contact spring is received in the receptacle and has a first band and a second band with spring beams extending between the first and second bands. The spring beams resiliently engage the power terminal. The bands engage the terminal body to create a power path between the terminal body and the power terminal. The first band has a series of tabs extending therefrom separated by gaps. The tabs are received in corresponding notches and the gaps receive corresponding posts to secure the contact spring in the terminal box.
