Title: Measurement apparatuses and systems including measurment apparatuses
Inventor: Sajni Mavji Halai
IPC: G01B11/14
Filed: 2017-12-06
Abstract: The measurement carriage (40, fig 3) is configured to run on a track comprising a pair of C-beams, for example an overhead production line conveyor. The carriage is coupled to a laser apparatus 90 comprising a laser emitter 92 and receiver 92. The laser emitter scans a separation between the C-beams. The laser receiver senses laser light reflected from the C-beams, and outputs a signal indicative of the separation measured. The carriage may comprise a main body and at least one running wheel to run on an interior surface of the c-beams. At least one running wheel may be a measurement wheel moveably mounted to the main body. A moveable mount biases the measurement wheel away from the interior surface of the c-beam with respect to the main body such that its movement on the moveable mount follows variation in distance between opposed interior surfaces as the carriage moves along the track. The carriage further comprises a strain or load sensor to monitor movement of the measurement wheel on the biased moveable mount, and to output a data signal indicative of distance between the respective opposed interior surfaces. The invention detects wear of c-beam tracks due to erosion or excessive forces.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding/decoding image
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A method for video decoding comprising obtaining prediction samples and residual coefficients for a current block and inverse quantizing the residual coefficients. A transform skip mode is determined from a transform skip mode set based on information specifying a transform skip mode, the information being signaled for each of a luminance component and a chrominance component. The transform bypass mode candidates include at least one of a 2D transform 310, a vertical transform 330, a horizontal transform 320 or a non-transform 340. Residual samples are obtained by selectively applying a transform to the inverse quantized residual coefficients based on the determined transform skip mode and a block is reconstructed based on the residual samples and the prediction samples. If a 2D transform method is selected an inverse transform using a discrete cosine transform (DCT) or a discrete sine transform (DST) is performed. The transform mode may be selected based on an intra-prediction mode used for the block.

Title: MAC/PHY interface of wireless stations compliant to direct link and downlink transmissions in trigger-based multi-user transmissions
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2018-07-11
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to multi-user, MU, uplink, UL, protocols that allow non-UL transmissions (Direct Link, DiL, and downlink, DL) to be performed simultaneously with triggered MU UL transmissions. A station may send a trigger frame triggering MU transmissions to allow non-UL transmissions to another station, in a resource unit, RU, of the MU transmission. The present disclosure regards how the Medium Access Control, MAC, and Physical layer, PHY, interface at an Access Point, AP, and at non-AP stations can be modified to efficiently handle the DiL and DL transmissions. A non-AP station recipient of DiL/DL transmissions can use an IEEE 802.11ax TRIGVECTOR to configure its physical layer in a receive state to receive data frames over a RU. Also, the AP can configure its physical layer to filter out the DiL/DL RUs by configuring the physical layer in a receive state to receive data frames over a frequency band excluding RU allocated for data transmission towards destination triggered stations. Also disclosed is, transmitting, to a Physical layer of a triggered station, only data labelled for DiL transmission and retrieved from local MAC transmission buffers, so that the PHY layer sends only DiL-labelled data over RU allocated for DiL transmission.
