  • Patent number: 8853881
    Abstract: A turbine assembly includes a split venturi shroud with two halves in hinged engagement about a vertical hinge axis that bisects the venturi shroud, a split clam jacket with two halves each attached to one of the two halves of the venturi shroud, and a rotor ring including an outer rim and a plurality of propeller blades within the outer rim. The rotor ring and venturi shroud are a rotor and a stator, respectively, of the turbine assembly. The venturi shroud is mountable on a support structure by transitioning from a folded state to an unfolded state. The clam jacket is open when the venturi shroud is folded and closed when the venturi shroud is unfolded, at least a portion of the support structure is surrounded by the clam jacket when in the unfolded state. The rotor ring can be mounted on the venturi shroud.

  • Publication number: 20140267356
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for multi-sample processing. The multi-sample pixel data is received and is analyzed to identify subsets of samples of a multi-sample pixel that have equal data, such that data for one sample in a subset represents multi-sample pixel data for all samples in the subset. An encoding state is generated that indicates which samples of the multi-sample pixel are included in each one of the subsets.

  • Publication number: 20140254982
    Abstract: Described herein is an optical switch (1), including 4 common port optical fibers (e.g. 3), disposed in a vertical y dimension, a wavelength independent beam splitter (5), a switching unit (7) and 16 add/drop optical fibers (e.g. 9), disposed in a horizontal x dimension. In one direction of operation, the common port fibers (3) project respective optical beams (e.g. 11) to beam splitter (5), which physically splits each optical beam (11) into a plurality of separate sub beams (e.g. 15). The sub beams (15) are focused by a lens (17) onto respective micro-electromechanical (MEMS) mirrors (e.g. 19) of switching unit (7). Mirrors (19) direct each said sub beam (15) along respective predetermined trajectories to thereby selectively couple the sub beams (15) to corresponding add/drop optical fibers (9). Corresponding operation occurs in the reverse direction, with add/drop fibers (9) acting as input ports and common port fibers (3) providing outputs.

  • Publication number: 20140219569
    Abstract: Embodiments for determining the similarity of different images are generally described herein. In some embodiments, image features of different images are converted to clusters, the clusters from each image are sorted based on one or more attributes of the clusters, and a plurality of three-point sets are generated for each image from a selected portion of the sorted clusters. Each three-point set defines a triangle. Matching triangles may be identified from the different images. The corresponding clusters of the matching triangles represent corresponding image features providing for a measure of the similarity of the two different images.
