Abstract:
An exemplary buffering apparatus for buffering a multi-partition video/image bitstream which transmits a plurality of compressed frames each having a plurality of partitions includes a first bitstream buffer and a second bitstream buffer. The first bitstream buffer is arranged to buffer data of a first partition of the partitions of a specific compressed frame. The second bitstream buffer is arranged to buffer data of a second partition of the partitions of the specific compressed frame.

Abstract:
A die tool and process are described that provide friction consolidation fabrication and friction consolidation extrusion fabrication products including permanent magnets, and other extrusion and non-extrusion structures. The present invention overcomes previous particle size, texture, homogeneity and density limitations in conventional metallurgy processes.
Abstract:
A cooling system based on thermoelastic effect is provided. The system comprises a heat sink, a refrigerated space and a regenerator coupled to the refrigerated space and to the heat sink to pump heat from the refrigerated space to the heat sink. The regenerator comprises solid thermoelastic refrigerant materials capable of absorbing or releasing heat.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the enhancement of immune response to microbial infection and/or inflammation-associated disease through at least partial inhibition of NLRC5. The inhibition may be of any suitable means, although in particular cases it is via siRNA agents. In specific embodiments, a particular domain of NLRC5 is targeted by the siRNA.

Abstract:
A method for searching for a flash video (FLV) tag in a bitstream includes the following steps: setting a first start position and a first search length related to a first search process, wherein the first search length indicates a bitstream length of the first search process performed upon the bitstream; starting the first search process upon the bitstream from the first start position to search for the FLV tag; when the FLV tag is not found in the first search length, setting a second start position related to a second search process immediately following the first search process, wherein the first start position and the second start position are separated by a time period equaling a sum of the first search length and a first skip length corresponding to the first search process; and starting the second search process upon the bitstream from the second start position to search for the FLV tag.
