Abstract: The invention provides a frequency tuneable projector (10, 100) comprising a cavity (106) at least partially surrounded by walls where at least one of the walls incorporates a transducing element (20a, 20d) and a tuning element (20b, 20c). The transducing element (20a, 20d) is operable to couple between electrical signals and corresponding mechanical vibrations of the walls. The tuning element (20b, 20c) is operable to provide an electrically modifiable stiffness for use in tuning a resonant frequency of the walls. The tuning element (20b, 20c) enables the projector to be tuned over a range of frequencies, thereby making it feasible for it to operate at resonance over the range of frequencies and thereby provide enhanced efficiency associated with operating at resonance. The walls are operable to vibrate in a bending mode or radial mode. The projector can be implemented as a vibrating cylindrical structure (400, 500) and can optionally incorporate end caps (430, 440), or be implemented as a circular structure (10, 100) incorporating one or more vibrating backing plates (16a, 16b) to which transducing and control elements (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) are attached.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangements to achieve a dynamic and efficient resource distribution policy in packet based communication networks applying service differentiation and packet scheduling. The method initially allocates for each traffic class a certain share of the available resources, e.g. in terms of a share of the transmission bandwidth. The actual traffic shares for each of the traffic classes are monitored and compared to the assigned shares. If the monitored traffic shares does not correspond to the assigned shares a reconfiguration algorithm is started that equalizes resources according to the actual need. The new resource distribution policy is then distributed to the affected network nodes by means of a sequence of Load Control refresh packets where the shares of packets that belong to the various traffic classes correspond to the resource shares that are assigned to these traffic classes in the new resource distribution policy.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the adjustments that must be made to the individual images recorded by a multi-lens camera so that the images will fit together into a panorama. The camera is placed in the center of a structure, the edges of which have at least one row on indicia. Each camera records an image which includes the indicia along each edge that will be seamed with an edge of another image in order to form a panorama. Each edge of the structure which is along a seam that will be seamed with an edge of another image is recorded by two lenses on the camera. The amount of adjustment required to make the indicia in the two images fit together is then determined. The values of these adjustments are recorded along with an identification of the camera which recorded the images. Subsequent sets of images recorded by this same camera can then be seamed using the same adjustments.
