Abstract: Transmit power for a user equipment (UE) is set by a Home NodeB (HNB) in response to interference at a nearby macrocell. The HNB monitors an interference level to the macro-cell from a UE communicating with the HNB. An acceptable transmit power for the UE is determined by the HNB in response to the interference level. A power change indicator is transmitted from the HNB to the UE to adjust the transmit power of the UE. In some cases, the interference may be estimated from a busy indica-tor from the macrocell and the HNB sends a modified version of the busy indicator to the UE to adjust the transmit power of the UE. In other cases, the HNB estimates a path loss for the UE  based on received signal power from the macrocell and signals a transmit power change to the UE, if needed, based on the estimat-ed path loss.

Abstract: In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, an end treatment of a guardrail safety system includes a terminal portion of a guardrail beam that has a downstream end and an upstream end. The terminal portion of the guardrail beam slopes from a first vertical height appropriate for redirecting an errant vehicle to a second vertical height proximate the surface of the ground at an upstream end of the terminal portion of the guardrail beam. A flattening portion forms a channel through which the terminal portion of the guardrail beam is disposed. A vertical dimension of the channel is greater at a downstream end of the flattening portion than at an upstream end of the flattening portion. An impact plate is connected to the flattening portion for engaging an impacting vehicle at an end of said guardrail beam. During an end-on impact, the impact plate and the flattening portion are advanced longitudinally along the guardrail in a downstream direction by the vehicle. The advancement of the impact plate and flattening portion dissipate energy to decelerate the impacting vehicle. As downstream portions of the guardrail beam are forced into the flattening portion, the guardrail is flattened vertically. In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, a terminal portion of a guardrail safety system includes a terminal portion of a guardrail beam having a downstream end and upstream end. The terminal portion of the guardrail beam slopes from a height appropriate for redirecting an errant vehicle to a height proximate the surface of the ground at an upstream end of the terminal portion. Support posts are installed adjacent a roadway in spaced apart relation to one another and are coupled to the terminal portion of the guardrail beam. A terminal support post is installed adjacent the roadway at an upstream end of the end terminal. The terminal support post couples to an upstream end of the terminal portion of the guardrail beam by a resistive, tensile coupling that maintains tension in the terminal portion of the guardrail beam. The resistive, tensile coupling is maintained between the terminal support post and the guardrail beam during an end-on or re-directive impact by a vehicle. However, the resistive, tensile coupling between the terminal support post and the guardrail beam is released during a reverse-direction impact.

Title: Method and device for video transcoding using quad-tree based mode selection
Inventor: SHI XUN
IPC: H04N21/2662
Filed: 2011-01-07
Abstract: An encoder for encoding a downsampled video in which macroblock partitioning is based upon downsampled partitioning of full-resolution macroblocks. The refinement of the downsampled partitioning involves storing the downsampled partitioning in a quad-tree data structure and recursively identifying and evaluating possible mergers of leaf nodes having a common parent node. Using rate-distortion analysis possible mergers are evaluated and advantageous mergers are performed, thereby creating larger partitions and new leaf nodes. The traversing of the quad-tree to identify possible leaf node mergers is stopped when no further possible mergers may be identified that would result in a rate-distortion advantage.

Title: Method and apparatus for the access to communication and/or to writing using a dedicated interface and a scanning control with advanced visual feedback
Inventor: CALIGARI MARCO
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2009-05-22
Abstract: The method and the apparatus of the present invention is related to a system to access to communication and/or to writing using means as personal computer, and it is targeted particularly to disabled people suffering heavy restriction of their organisation and execution of movements. A heavy motor disability means the impossibility to use the traditional devices as computer peripheral command devices, and, being impossible to perform direct selection of items on the screen in order to give commands, it is necessary to use a scanning technique. This technique provides the possibility to use one or more external sensors to select the command on a matrix of letters or symbols that are displayed in succession. The process of interaction between disabled user and machine has been made easier using a visual feedback that provides the user to foresee the path of scanning. In this way the scanning method is determined in advance and the cognitive effort carried out by the user is considerably reduced.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an orientation, navigation and information system, especially adapted for blind or visually impaired people. It is essentially a system that allows blind or visually impaired people to access information usually made available only to public transportation users visually, through posters or informative signs, or through dynamic information screens of various nature. It allows, first of all, the access to information from the outside or within private or public facilities or locations, using a conventional mobile phone (2) equipped with one or more additional communication channels, or a wireless communicator, and in second place, it allows also, simultaneously, the orientation and navigation of the system user(s), through places of interest (20), according to their instructions, using a discreet and non-obstructive system of acoustic emitters (3, 17), and using also a cell system or radio communication network (6) like Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or others, inserted in and related with the places of interest of the user(1). This allows the user to know his (her) accurate localization and can guide his (her) route.  The present orientation, navigation and information system can also be used by people without visual impairment, by adapting the system, for example, to display orientation instructions visually.
