Abstract: A marine vessel (10) equipped with a countermeasure system (12a,12b) having a substantially vertical launch tube (20) that is at least generally rotatable about a vertical reference axis (26) that extends through and along a length of the launch tube. This rotation capability of the launch tube may be used to affect an aiming of an associated countermeasure cartridge at least generally disposed therein. One or both the launch tube and countermeasure cartridge (50) of this countermeasure system are generally equipped with a rotation inhibitor (68,76) for substantially preventing independent rotation of the countermeasure cartridge relative to the launch tube at least when the countermeasure cartridge is disposed within the launch tube (20). The present invention is also designed to enable the associated countermeasure cartridge to be pitched over to a predetermined pitch angle (relative to the reference axis of the launch tube) to affect a desired flight path after launch of the countermeasure cartridge.

Abstract: The invention is related with network communication, in particular wireless networking. In order to improve bandwidth utilization, a header compression protocol is implemented in most wireless network systems, such as robust header compression ROHC for WLAN systems. When using multicast groups for data communication problems with ROHC are related with relative late initiation of stations that newly enter the multicast group. 
     The invention proposes an improved state machine for the compressor in order to overcome this drawback. 
     It is also proposed an improvement for the decompressors which omit sending positive acknowledgements in order to further improve compression efficiency. 
     The invention also concerns an accordingly improved method for the exchange of data packets in a network of distributed stations.

Abstract: An on-channel repeater has a receiving antenna (12) for receiving an RF signal and a transmitting antenna (22) for transmitting on the same frequency as the input signal. An amplification path (14) between the antennas provides substantially linear processing and includes a combiner (16), a decorrelating delay (18) and a power amplifier (20). A filter estimator (24) receives a reference signal and the combiner output and generates a plurality of control coefficients which are applied to an adaptive filter (26) which filters the reference signal accordingly and applies its output to the combiner. The reference signal is derived not from the output of the decorrelating delay (18) but rather from the output antenna (22) after the power amplifier (20). Where there is an adjacent transmitter (42) generating potentially interfering signals, the transmitter output is coupled to the same transmitter antenna (22).

IPC: H04N7/50

Abstract: In many video encoding bit rate control models such as TMN8 and RHO domain, the distortion D has been described as a uniform weighted distortion. According to the invention an approximated but still easy-to-use Laplacian distribution model is calculated for the quantisation step size adaptation in the macroblock layer bit rate control. The inventive bit rate control uses a pre-analysis step (LPPREA, HPPREA) that calculates the standard deviation of the input signal amplitudes in each macroblock in a Group of Frames. Using the corresponding standard deviation value determined in the pre-analysis step, in a motion estimation/compensation step (CQPEMB) the best mode for the P and B pictures and the actual standard deviation of the prediction residual for the macroblocks are obtained, whereby a rate distortion optimisation processing using the Laplace distribution is performed. For I frames an intra prediction is carried out by which the best prediction mode and the actual standard deviation of the prediction residual for the macroblocks are obtained, and a rate distortion optimisation processing using the Laplace distribution is performed. Thereby for I and P frames the quantisation parameter for each macroblock is obtained and used in a corresponding quantisation that follows transform (TRF1) of the prediction or motion estimation/compensation residual. For the B frames the bit rate control is carried out once again in an actual coding step, i.e. the quantisation parameter for a current macroblock is computed with the inventive improved TMN8 bit rate control using the best mode and the actual standard deviation obtained from the ME/MC stage.

Abstract: A communication device (1) is provided with a power-limiting module (11) connected to the power supply (12) and configured to limit energy supplied to the transmitter portion (141) such that a defined maximum data transmission rate is not exceeded. The power-limiting module (11) comprises an energy storage device (111), supplying energy to the transmitter portion (141), and a limiter (112) limiting recharging of the energy storage device (111) by the power supply (12). The energy storage device (111) and the limiter (112) are selected such that a defined maximum energy is suppliable to the transmitter portion (141), limiting the transmitter portion (141) to transmit data at the maximum data transmission rate. Limiting the energy supplied to the transmitter portion (141) ensures that the communication device (1) does not transmit over the network more than a given, limited amount of information per time unit, thus, the quantity of data transmitted by the communication device (1) is limited.
