Title: Triggering workflows from a multifunction device
Inventor: JACQUES ROBERT J ST
IPC: G06F40/189
Filed: 2015-02-06
Abstract: In response to user selection of a workflow from among workflow menu options presented on a graphic user interface of a multifunction device, methods and systems automatically and dynamically create device-specific user interface screens 156 that are used in execution of the selected workflow. The device-specific user interface screens comply with unique formatting requirements of the graphic user interface of the multifunction device upon which they are displayed. The device-specific user interface screens provide data input instructions on the graphic user interface, to which the user responds, allowing these methods and systems to receive workflow data into the graphic user interface. These methods and systems transmit the workflow data from the multifunction device to a computerized device over a computerized network. Thus, these methods execute the workflow 166 (through the computerized device and/or the multifunction device) using the workflow data.

Abstract: A virtual body model of a person is created with a small number of measurements (including depth information) and a single photograph and combined with one or more images of garments. The virtual body model represents a realistic representation of the users body and is used for visualizing photo-realistic fit visualizations of garments, hairstyles, make-up, and / or other accessories. The virtual garments are created using a depth scanner or depth imager and also from layers based on photographs of real garment from multiple angles. Furthermore the virtual body model is used in multiple embodiments of manual and automatic garment, make-up, and, hairstyle recommendations, such as, from channels, friends, and fashion entities. The virtual body model is sharable for, as example, visualization and comments on looks. Furthermore it is also used for enabling users to buy garments that fit other users, suitable for gifts or similar. The implementation can also be used in peer-to-peer online sales where garments can be bought with the knowledge that the seller has a similar body shape and size as the user as well as being used in manufacturing the garment chosen.

Title: Methods and systems to operate marine sources to avoid air in water effects
Inventor: DROSSAERT FRANCIS
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2015-08-11
Abstract: A method for determining a sequence with which to activate a number of sub-sources that partition an array of marine air guns. This method consists of determining a cone angle for a cone of emissions of an air gun 1306 where the cone angle maybe determined as the critical angle of incidence of the surface (Fig. 2, 204) and determining the location of a volume of air bubbles 1308 in the water, so as to prevent air bubbles generated by a previously activated source from interfering with a next to be activated source. This is achieved by not activating a sub-source if its cone of emission would intersect a volume of air bubbles generated by a previously activated source. This cone of emission includes that generated by the source (Fig. 2, 212, 220) and that generated by emissions 1316, 1314 reflected from the waters surface (Fig. 2, 112).

Title: Improvements to the adaptation of a filter performance
Inventor: David gerald smith
IPC: H01P1/203
Filed: 2015-12-10
Abstract: The performance of filter 14 is adapted, after testing the operation of the filter, by applying at least one portion of a sheet material 24 (e.g. a dielectric such as polyimide) to the filter, altering its operation. An actual parameter (e.g. limit values for frequency) of the filter 14 is compared with the required value, the material being applied after an unacceptable comparison. The filter may be formed on a PCB and the sheet material may be selected to have particular dimensions, such that it covers only a certain part of the filter as in the figure, or so that a certain thickness (e.g. in the range 30-60 microns) is used. A set with differing dimensions may be available and a reference table used to select them, based on the comparison. The filter may be used for reception of digital television services e.g. in conjunction with Low Noise Blocks (LNBs).

Title: Updating of contention parameters for MU UL OFDMA transmission in an 802.11AX network
Inventor: PATRICE NEZOU
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-04-26
Abstract: The invention relates to the management of contention parameters of nodes contending for access to random resource units defined in trigger frames sent by an access point (employing multi-user uplink, MU-UL, OFDMA transmission in an 802.11ax wireless network). The access point periodically sends a reference contention window for the nodes, for instance through beacon frames. The access point controls how nodes update their contention parameters using a Contention Policy, CP, parameter indicated in each transmitted trigger frame. Based on the CP parameter, nodes select an updating scheme and update their contention parameters. The contention window may be kept unchanged if the CP parameter indicates a low loaded network, while it may be doubled if the CP parameter indicated a high loaded network. The OFDMA backoff value to contend for access to the random Resource Units, RUs, may be continuously updated based on the number of random RUs made available to the nodes. Each trigger frame reserves a transmission opportunity TXOP on at least one communication channel of the wireless network, defining RUs forming the communication channel, including the one or more random RUs the nodes access using a contention scheme.

Title: Digital volume control
Inventor: CORY JAY PERTERSON
IPC: H03M1/66
Filed: 2016-06-24
Abstract: A digital volume control may be implemented in a digital-to-analog controller (DAC) when an output rate of the DAC is higher than the input rate. The upsampling conversion process from the digital input to analog output may be controlled to adjust a volume of an output signal produced from the digital signals. The frames produced by the upsampling conversion process may include a fraction of scheduling blocks filled with the input data bit, where the fraction is based on a desired volume. The generated frames are provided to a finite impulse response (FIR) filter that produces an analog signal with a magnitude proportional to the determined fraction of scheduling blocks.
