Title: System and method for adaptive audio signal generation, coding and rendering
Inventor: ROBINSON CHARLES Q
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2012-06-27
Granted: 2016-01-14
Abstract: Embodiments are described for an adaptive audio system that processes audio data comprising a number of independent monophonic audio streams. One or more of the streams has associated with it metadata that specifies whether the stream is a channel-based or object-based stream. Channel-based streams have rendering information encoded by means of channel name; and the object-based streams have location information encoded through location expressions encoded in the associated metadata. A codec packages the independent audio streams into a single serial bitstream that contains all of the audio data. This configuration allows for the sound to be rendered according to an allocentric frame of reference, in which the rendering location of a sound is based on the characteristics of the playback environment (e.g., room size, shape, etc.) to correspond to the mixer's intent. The object position metadata contains the appropriate allocentric frame of reference information required to play the sound correctly using the available speaker positions in a room that is set up to play the adaptive audio content.

IPC: H04N19/503
Filed: 2012-07-17
Granted: 2016-03-03
Abstract: A video encoder is configured to determine a picture size for one or more pictures included in a video sequence. The picture size associated with the video sequence may be a multiple of an aligned coding unit size for the video sequence. In one example, the aligned coding unit size for the video sequence may comprise a minimum coding unit size where the minimum coding unit size is selected from a plurality of smallest coding unit sizes corresponding to different pictures in the video sequence. A video decoder is configured to obtain syntax elements to determine the picture size and the aligned coding unit size for the video sequence. The video decoder decodes the pictures included in the video sequence with the picture size, and stores the decoded pictures in a decoded picture buffer.

Title: Pseudothermoplastic, self-crosslinking composites
Inventor: SCHMIDT FRIEDRICH GEORG
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 2012-11-06
Granted: 2015-09-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing storage-stable prepregs and shaped bodies produced therefrom (composite components). In the present process, reversibly crosslinked composites or storage-stable prepregs are produced by means of a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (HDA) of, for example, PMMA polymers. At a slightly elevated temperature, these prepregs can be reversibly decrosslinked again by means of a retro-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction so as to become malleable. The backreaction to form crosslinked or high molecular weight products again then occurs at room temperature.
