Title: Transmitting over a network
Inventor: ALVAREZ AREVALO ROBERTO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: Data for presentation in real time, such as a video or audio sequence, is available on different encoded versions having different degrees of compression. In order to assess, during transmission of one version, the feasibility of switching to another version, given the data rate known to be available at the time, a server computes, for a candidate version, in respect of at least one portion thereof that has not yet been sent, the maximum value of a timing error that would occur if any number of portions starting with that portion to be sent at the available rate. The selection of the same or a different version for continuing transmission is taken in dependence on a comparison between the computed error and the current state of a receiving buffer. Error values may be computed in advance for a range of transmitting rates, stored and later retrieved for use in estimating an error value corresponding to the actual transmitting rate.

Abstract: The invention proposes a drive system for a vehicle (50), in particular for a tracked vehicle (50), having a drive machine (10; 80) and at least one load (36; 66; 90), which is mechanically coupled to an output drive (12; 82) of the drive machine (10; 80), at least one control means (38; 70) being associated with the at least one load (36; 66, 90) and reducing a power consumption of the at least one load (36; 66, 90) in a starting phase of the drive machine (10; 80) temporarily compared with a power consumption in an operating state of the load (10; 80) whilst maintaining the mechanical coupling. Such a drive system has an improved starting capability compared with known systems since the reduction in the power consumption of the load (36; 66; 90) in the starting phase of the drive machine (10; 80) reduces the risk of the drive machine (10; 80) stalling. The drive system according to the invention is considered to be particularly advantageous in the case of hydraulic loads (36; 66) and generators (90).
