Title: Frequency Domain Video Data Reordering for Encoding
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-11-07
Abstract: Arrays of frequency domain video data are reordered for encoding by an encoder which uses parameters in respect of encoding a current array element derived from previously encoded array elements and/or nearby elements. A last data item detector searches a current array for a last non 40  zero elemenaccording to a pattern which searches elements in one or more sets of a constant horizontal or a constant vertical spatial frequency respectively followed by any remaining elements ordered according to successive subsets, each subset being selected so that the sum of a horizontal and a vertical spatial frequency components is generally constant for elements within a subset. A data scanner changes the elements order for entropy encoding according to a reordering pattern (figs. 19-20) generating reordered elements in successive subsets. Each subset is selected so that the sum of a horizontal spatial frequency component and a vertical spatial frequency component is generally constant for elements within a subset. The pattern terminates with the detected last non-zero element. The searching order and/or the reordering pattern are selected in dependence upon one or more parameters (e.g. image direction) used by a predictor in generating the predicted version of a current image.

Title: Inhibition of vehicle engine to avoid driving with access device deployed
Inventor: HALLERON IAN
IPC: B60K28/10
Filed: 2012-08-09
Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of an engine 10 of a motor vehicle 5 is provided in which the engine 10 a power operated passenger access means such as a power step 17 is deployed and a manual multi-speed transmission 11 is not in a neutral state. This ensures that the motor vehicle 5 cannot drive off if the step 17 is in the deployed position. The engine 10 is inhibited by preventing it from being started if it is not running or by stopping it if it is running. Therefore as soon as the transmission 11 is moved out of the neutral position with the step 17 deployed the engine 10 is either stopped or prevented from starting before drive to a driven wheel of the motor vehicle 5 is established. Control may start with steps (205, 210 see fig 3A) associated with movement from an ignition key off to an ignition key on state. If a step out condition occurs whilst travelling at over 15 kph, unsafe stopping of the engine 10 may be prevented.

Title: Collaborative interference mitigation between physically-proximate narrowband and broadband communication devices
Inventor: HIBEN BRADLEY M
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: A communication pathway (145) can be established between physically collocated narrowband (135) and broadband (105) devices. The narrowband device (135) can identify a communication channel. A transmission frequency used by the broadband device (105) can be spectrally-proximate to a reception frequency used by the narrowband device (135) in a frequency range associated with the communication channel, resulting in interference of the narrowband device's (135) reception when the broadband device (105) is transmitting and the narrowband device (135) is receiving concurrently. The narrowband device (135) can instruct the broadband device (105) to switch to a transmission spectrum block that is spectrally separated from the reception spectrum block of the communication channel to minimize interference between the devices when the narrowband device (135) handles a call assignment.
