Title: Vehicle traffic flow prediction method with missing data
Inventor: CHANGLE LI
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2021-06-09
Abstract: A road network is represented by topologically structured data comprising numbered road sections and traffic flow is predicted for a target road section selected there-from. The prediction comprises generating a set of road sections adjacent to the target section. The set comprises all first-order adjacent roads sections for which traffic flow data is available at a sampling time, the flow data representing an average travel time from the target to the adjacent road section. If flow data is missing for some first-order adjacent road sections, then the set further comprises corresponding second-order adjacent road sections. Similarly, if flow data is missing for some of the second-order adjacent road sections, then the set further comprises corresponding third-order adjacent roads sections. Missing flow data in the set are filled using a nearest neighbour algorithm. A cross-correlation coefficient of traffic flow between the target road section and each road section in the filled data set is determined and traffic flow predicted for the target road section.

Title: Dual-channel class-D audio amplifier having quantizer-combined orthogonal modulation
Inventor: CORY J PETERSON
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2021-12-28
Abstract: Class-D amplifiers and modulators therefor provide control of the DC operating point of the outputs of the amplifiers. The modulators generate a sum and difference signal using combiners and introduce the sum signal to a reference input of the quantizer, while the quantization input of the quantizer receives the difference signal. A difference mode loop filter circuit may filter the difference signal and a common mode loop filter may filter the sum signal. Outputs of the quantizer operate a pair of switching circuits to provide either a differential output with the sum signal set to a constant voltage and the difference signal provided by the signal to be reproduced, or a pair of single-ended outputs with the individual input signals used to generate the sum and difference signal, and selection of a differential or dual single-ended operating mode may be performed by a control circuit that reconfigures the combiners.

Patent GR-880100729-A (GR)
Title: System of installation and use of surface long-line
Inventor: SIFNAIOS DIMITRIOS
IPC: A01K91/18
Filed: 1988-10-26
Abstract: It is about a system that consists of one cylinder with side walls that have trawl holdings on their ends, as well as one sheeting sub-system in which they are placed. It is supplemented then by one castellated wheel that immobilizes the cylinder one way or even completely, and by one cylindrical and two upright bumpers, purposely built to protect the user from the trawls and to avoid entanglements. The trammel is placed around the cylinder and the trawls are put on the side walls. There is a possibility of the trammel being placed around the cylinder without any entanglement. There is a possibility of automatic disengagement of the trawls, something that gives it speed when it is used and flexibility under certain conditions. The placement of the castellated wheel and the bumper gives the opportunity of pulling it up fast without any danger of entanglement.
