Title: Generating a set of motion vector predictors where determination of temporal predictors is dependent on selected spatial predictors
Inventor: LAROCHE GUILLAUME
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2011-03-09
Abstract: A set of motion vector predictors for a block to encode or decode of a current frame, is generated. The set is permitted to include at least one spatial motion vector predictor and at least one temporal motion vector predictor. A temporal motion vector is selected from a bottom right position of a block of the reference frame collocated with said block to encode or decode, or alternatively is selected from a predetermined position in the vicinity of said bottom right position, in a block of the reference frame neighbouring the collocated block. At least one said spatial predictor is selected before the temporal predictor is determined, and the determination of the temporal predictor is carried out in dependence upon the selected spatial predictor(s). The availability of the spatial predictors(s) may be determined and the temporal predictors may be selected in dependence upon this availability. This motion vector predictor selection scheme is then preferably used to encode a sequence of digital images into a bitstream, for subsequent decoding. Coding efficiency improvements can thereby be achieved.

Title: Policy enforcement
Inventor: STEED MATTHEW KEITH JAMES
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2013-11-07
Abstract: In a communications network 10, policies are applied to electronic mail messages by determining a plurality of routes for electronic mail messages, each route being defined by at least one sender (or source) and at least one recipient (or destination), and determining a policy to be applied to electronic mail messages on each route. At least one tag is associated with each of a plurality of servers in the communications network, and at least one of the tags is allocated to each of the plurality of routes. Each of the plurality of servers 42, 52 identifies the, or each, route that is associated with a tag that is associated with the server, and then applies the respective policy to electronic mail messages on the, or each, identified route. This allows policy to be defined on the basis of the role of the server and the policy features that it supports. When multiple servers are present e.g. with redundant servers a single tag may apply to more than one server with a common role. One embodiment comprises an internal policy server 42 and external policy server 52 with associated internal gateway 18 and external gateway 20 tags (see Figure 3) being applied for respective internal and external messages and with both internal and external tags being applied to messages with e.g. recipients in both internal and external networks.

Title: Speculative interrupt signalling
Inventor: KENNEDY MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2014-01-28
Abstract: A processor 2 receives several interrupt signals from an interrupt controller 3. An arbitrator 10 determines the highest priority interrupt which is asserted. In parallel with the arbitrator, a trigger 12 enables an interrupt processing controller before the arbitrator has determined the highest priority interrupt. The interrupt processing controller may save the pre-interrupt processor state. A termination controller 20 determines if the highest priority interrupt is a lower priority than the priority of the executing task in a priority data store 16. If so, the interrupt processing is terminated and may be reversed. A mask 8 may be used to prevent the assertion of the trigger for masked interrupts. The mask may be determined by the processor priority. A memory 14 may store programmable priorities for the interrupts.

Title: Optical amplifier for subsea control systems
Inventor: SILVIU PUCHIANU
IPC: H04B10/291
Filed: 2014-10-24
Abstract: The present application concerns a fibre amplifier for amplifying an optical communication signal. The pumping signal powering the fibre amplifier is provided by a device which the applicants refer to as an electrical to optical data converter (EODC) 9, 10. The EODC appears to be an optical transceiver. The EODC is conventionally used to transmit an optical data signal rather than a pumping signal (as is the case at 6) but the applicants have realised the low financial cost of the EODC makes it an attractive alternative to a conventional pumping laser. The fibre amplifier includes a doped fibre 3. The EODC may be a small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) device. The amplifier may be coupled 4 to a fibre optic umbilical 2 for transmitting communications signals between a modem 7 of an underwater hydrocarbon extraction facility and a surface location (not shown). The optical amplifier may be housed in a power and communications distribution module (PCDM). A plurality of EODCs may be coupled to the doped fibre to ensure there is sufficient power for amplification.

IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 2015-07-10
Abstract: A method for low-loss transformation and/or compression of a data stream of input signals (S12Bit) with a first bit depth into a data stream of output signals (S8Bit) with a second bit depth using a transfer function, in which a noise component of the input signals (S12Bit) is taken into account. The transformation and/or compression may be at least partly reversible and the input and output signals are preferably image signals. The method may be used for contrast enhancement of a data stream of image signals, where after low-loss transmission/compression is done, with a first and second bit depths, a contrast enhancement is performed in the data stream of intermediate image signals and after which, a number of bits, in particular the lowest bits, of the intermediate image signals are removed from the data stream to obtain an output image signal with the output bit depth. Also claimed is a signal processing unit to perform the method.
