Patent EP-1417841-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DER SCHAAR MIHAELA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: In a Fine Granular Video encoding system, a method for determining the number of transmission bits of SNR encoded and temporally encoded video data within a frame to balance image quality and object motion is presented. In accordance with the principles of the invention, a number of transmission bits at a known bit-rate for a quality enhanced video frame and a temporal enhanced video frame is determined to balance image quality and object motion smoothness. In one aspect of the invention, the number of bits transmitted in each frame is determined by comparing a ratio of a measure of video encoded information within the quality enhanced video frame and a measure of video encode information within the quality enhanced video frame and the temporally enhanced video frame to a known threshold level. The number of transmission bits in each enhancement layer is then determined using a first method when the ratio is above a known threshold and using a second method otherwise. In a second aspect of the invention, the number of bits is determined by first determining a measure of motion activity and complexity. The number of transmission bits is determined using a first method when the motion activity is below a known measure or the complexity if above a known threshold. Otherwise a second method is used to determine the number of transmission bits in each enhancement layer.

Title: Variable valve-stroke controller
Inventor: NAUMANN HERBERT
IPC: F01L1/18
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: Mechanical controls for continuously varying the length of the stroke of the valves in an internal-combustion engine and for maintaining the valves constantly closed while the engine is in operation while simultaneously varying how long the valve or valves remain open, whereby the valves are actuated by rocker levers that are in turn actuated by an angled lever, whereby the positions of the levers are varied in order to vary the length and duration of the stroke. The valves are actuated at low engine speeds by assigning a specific narrow angle of rotation to each abbreviated stroke to be established. FIG. 1 illustrates valve stroke controls with an angled lever ( 2 ) actuated by a cam ( 17 ) mounted on a lateral roller ( 3 ). In the event of a misalignment, a planetary gear comes into play, wherein a roller ( 9 ), mounted on the rocker lever ( 8 ) that actuates the valve ( 1 ) acts a sun wheel, the angled lever ( 2 ) acts as a planet wheel, and a setting lever ( 5 ) acts as a planet bearing.

Abstract: Methods for handling of messages that relate to a cell other than the
cell with which a user equipment UE device is currently communicating in

disclosed. 
According to the first method the network does not forward to the UE
device any messages which were generated for the user equipment device
when communicating with a first cell after receiving a message
indicating that the UE device has changed to communicate with a second
cell. According to another method the UE device does not fully operate
on a received message, the message being directed to a cell different
from the cell with which the UE device is currently communicating.
According to another method the UE device delays changing to a new cell
until a received message is acted upon. Finally, according to another
method whenever a cell update message is to be sent from the UE device
to the network, the message indicating a cell re-selection, the UE
device carries out any steps required when a cell re-selection is
performed.
