Airborne Power Generation System With Modular Electrical Elements

A tethered airborne electrical power generation system which may utilize a strutted frame structure with airfoils built into the frame to keep wind turbine driven generators which are within the structure airborne. The primary rotors utilize the prevailing wind to generate rotational velocity. Electrical power generated is returned to ground using a tether that is also adapted to fasten the flying system to the ground. The flying system is adapted to be able to use electrical energy to provide power to the primary turbines which are used as motors to raise the system from the ground, or mounting support, into the air. The system may then be raised into a prevailing wind and use airfoils in the system to provide lift while the system is tethered to the ground. The motors may then resume operation as turbines for electrical power generation. The system may be somewhat planar in that many turbines may have their rotors substantially in one or more planes or planar regions. The system may also be adapted to be assembled of modular components such that a variety of different numbers of turbines may be flown, yet the system may be substantially constructed from multiple similar members.

Methods of Multiple-Slice Coding for Frame Buffer Compression

Method is disclosed for reducing frame buffer, stream buffer, reconstruction buffer, or latency associated with frame buffer compression in an encoder or decoder with multiple slices of an image frame. The image frame is divided into multiple slices vertically, horizontally or both. One core compressor or decompressor can be used to process two or more slices. The encoding and decoding of two or more slices may be performed in parallel. Instead of encoding an entire slice, the encoder compresses only partial data of one slice before encoding another slice. According to one embodiment, each slice is divided into two or more partitions. The encoder is switched to another slice after encoding one partition of one slice. In another embodiment, the encoder is switched to another slice based the information related to the coding status. The decoding order may be same as the encoding order.

Message coding for ncma-based multiple access networks

Computationally efficient message encoding and decoding schemes for NCMA-based multiple access networks are enabled. Belief propagation decoding of fountain codes designed for NCMA-based multiple access networks may be enhanced using Gaussian elimination. Networks utilizing a network-coded slotted ALOHA protocol can benefit in particular. In such cases, Gaussian elimination may be applied locally to solve the linear system associated with each timeslot, and belief propagation decoding may be applied between the linear systems obtained over different timeslots. The computational complexity of such an approach may be of the same order as a conventional belief propagation decoding algorithm. The fountain code degree distribution may be tuned to optimize for different numbers of expected channel users.
