Abstract: The invention concerns methods and devices for concealing artefacts induced by transmission errors in a video sequence transmitted over a network between a server and a client making it possible to avoid abrupt resynchronization following a transmission error. When an error is detected, a video stream is created from a first video stream not containing any error and data representing artefacts induced by that error. The influence of the data representing the artefacts diminishes with time such that the created video stream converges towards the video stream not containing any error. The creation of the video stream in which the effects due to a transmission error are progressively removed may be carried out by the server or by the client.

Abstract: According to an internal combustion engine of the invention, release operation of an antitheft device is selected as an event generating by necessity prior to the starting of an engine (10), and the pre-heat is started based on the generating timing of the selected event. The start timing of the release operation of the antitheft device is high in terms of both necessity as an event generating prior to the starting of the engine (10) and reproducibility of the time length from its start timing to an arbitrary starting timing of the engine (10). The pre-heat completed state can be secured by starting the pre-heat synchronously with this timing or at a predetermined timing based on the timing, even when the engine is started at an arbitrary timing. Exhaust characteristics and fuel consumption performance can be improved by optimizing the temperature distribution of the engine at starting.

Abstract: In some aspects ischemia is indicated bases on cardiac pressure measurements. For example, ischemia may be indicated based on an increase in an intraventricular electromechanical delay where mechanical contractions are detected by measuring pressure in a cardiac chamber. Ischemia detection also may involve obtaining timing information relating to a mechanical contraction of at least one ventricle to identify the timing of the mechanical contraction. Ischemia may be indicated based on a change in a time interval associated with a systolic interval of a ventricle. Ischemia also may be indicated based on an intracardiac electrogram-based indication of ischemia in conjunction with an increase in mean left atrial pressure and/or increase in the size of a v-wave.
