Title: Apparatus and method of constrained partition size for high efficiency video coding
Inventor: LIU SHAN
IPC: H04N19/177
Filed: 2011-04-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for video coding and decoding with constrained PU partition are disclosed. In the High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) system, rate- distortion function or other performance criterion usually is evaluated for various CU partition and PU partition during the encoding process in order to select a configuration with best possible performance. The PU design in the current HEVC development results in some redundancy that causes rate-distortion function or other performance criterion repeatedly evaluated for same PU configuration. Accordingly, constrained PU partition is developed to eliminate or reduce the redundancy in processing. Furthermore, necessary syntax to convey the information related to constrained PU partition between an encoder and a decoder is developed. Systems embodying the present invention has been shown to result in sizeable reduction in encoding and decoding time while the performance in terms of RD-rate remains approximately the same or slightly higher than a conventional HEVC system.

Abstract: A power control method, a base station and terminal equipment. The method comprises: determining by a macro base station a dormant cell needing to be activated based on a measurement report; and transmitting an activation request to the base station of the dormant cell needing to be activated, the activation request including a cell ID of the dormant cell needing to be activated and a reduction value of the power used by the dormant cell after being activated relative to the maximum power level or an initial power level, a power increasing level and time duration of power or predetermined first time, so that the base station of the dormant cell transmits the signal at power reduced by the reduction value with respect to the maximum power after the dormant cell is activated or transmits the signal at the power that is increased step by step. With the method, the base station of the dormant cell needs not to transmit a signal at maximum power, thereby increasing energy efficiency, needing no multiple processes of detection, reducing signaling overhead, avoiding the degradation of the service quality of a terminal in the macro cell, and solving the problem in the relevant art.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting the activity of an ion channel in a cell. The methods comprise providing a loading buffer solution to a cell that has an ion channel. The loading buffer comprises at least one thallium indicator (e.g., an environmentally sensitive, luminescent dye) and a physiological concentration of chloride ions. The methods further comprise providing a stimulus buffer to the cell, wherein the stimulus buffer comprises thallium (e.g., thallium ions). Providing the stimulus buffer causes thallium influx into the cell through the ion channel. After providing the stimulus buffer, the luminescence (e.g., fluorescence) of the dye in the cell is detected. The luminescence of the dye can change in the presence or absence of thallium. The methods may be used to measure influx or efflux of thallium through an ion channel.
