Abstract: Traditional audio encoders may conserve coding bit-rate by encoding fewer than all spectral coefficients, which can produce a blurry low-pass sound in the reconstruction. An audio encoder using wide-sense perceptual similarity improves the quality by encoding a perceptually similar version of the omitted spectral coefficients, represented as a scaled version of already coded spectrum. The omitted spectral coefficients are divided into a number of sub-bands. The sub-bands are encoded as two parameters: a scale factor, which may represent the energy in the band; and a shape parameter, which may represent a shape of the band. The shape parameter may be in the form of a motion vector pointing to a portion of the already coded spectrum, an index to a spectral shape in a fixed code-book, or a random noise vector. The encoding thus efficiently represents a scaled version of a similarly shaped portion of spectrum to be copied at decoding.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de génération d'informations d'acheminement dans un réseau de communication de données. Un premier élément de réseau (par exemple un routeur) reçoit des informations associées à un second élément de réseau, par exemple un autre noeud ou un lien de réseau. En réponse, le premier élément de réseau détermine si les informations associées au second élément de réseau indiquent un changement dans le réseau. Lorsque les informations associées à un second élément de réseau indiquent un changement dans le réseau, le premier élément de réseau détermine une nouvelle trajectoire plus courte à travers le réseau, à partir du premier élément de réseau, pour chaque élément de réseau du réseau. Après un retard, le premier élément de réseau met à jour les informations d'acheminement pour le premier élément de réseau en fonction de la nouvelle trajectoire la plus courte pour le premier élément de réseau. Le retard est, de préférence, proportionnel à la distance du premier élément de réseau par rapport au second élément de réseau.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for allowing to coat the inner surface (22a) or wall portion of a pipe (22) with a cured solid material layer (M5) as a lining upon the utilization of an arrangement (1) led axially through the interior of the pipe and having an appurtenant nozzle (1a), through which nozzle, by means of a rotatably arranged disc (2), viscous material portions (M3a) are thrown in order to allowing to form, on individual wall sections (22a'), a viscous layer (M4) of a plastic material or a reinforced plastic material, depending on the axially directed motion and the speed of the arrangement (1) and the nozzle (1a) through the interior of the pipe and the size of the pipe. Subsequent to the application against the wall portion, (22a') the plastic material (M4) is allowed to cure time-wise to said solid material layer (M5) as lining. The radius of the disc (2) to said edge or border (2b) and a circumferential speed (v) given to the disc (2) are adapted mutually so that the centrifugal force of a material portion (M3a) thrown out will have a theoretical value that falls between "m x 1 500" and "m x 80 000" N, where "m" intends to represent the mass of the material portion (M3a).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for desynchronization of neural illness-synchronous brain activity in which the activities in at least two subareas of a brain area or at least two functionally associated brain areas are stimulated by means of at least two electrodes. In the case of a person with an illness, desynchronization therapy suppresses symptoms in the relevant neuron population. The feedback stimulation signal, that is to say the measured, time-delayed and process neural activity, is used as an individual stimulus. This results in self-regulated, demand control of the amplitude of the stimulation signal, thus minimizing the intensity of the stimulation stimuli automatically after successful desynchronization. The apparatus has at least two stimulation electrodes and at least one sensor, which are driven by a controller such that they result in desynchronization in their local environment.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a sprinkler toy (10) and a method for producing a geyser-like burst of liquid supplied by a source of pressurized liquid. The sprinkler toy may include a reservoir (72) in fluid communication with the pressurized liquid source, wherein the volume of the reservoir may increase as the liquid is supplied to the reservoir by the pressurized liquid source, and wherein the pressure within the reservoir may increase as the amount of liquid within the reservoir and the volume of the reservoir increase. The sprinkler toy may further include a valve (32) in fluid communication with the reservoir (72) and operatively coupled to the reservoir, wherein the valve may be moveable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the increase of the volume of the reservoir from a first volume to a second volume may cause the valve to move from the closed position to the open position, and wherein the pressure within the reservoir when the valve moves to the open position may cause a geyser-like burst of liquid stored in the reservoir to discharge through the valve. In alternate embodiments, the sprinkler toy may further include nozzles in fluid communication with the pressurized water source and providing a constant discharge of liquid, and a housing having moving components that move in response to the increase in volume of the reservoir.

Abstract: Interlaced video can be encoded in two layers, base layer and enhancement layer. A method for optimizing the encoding of motion vectors for enhancement layer is proposed. It comprises defining various different ways to encode the motion vectors, estimate the coding costs for each way, and select the way with the lowest coding cost. The various ways to encode enhancement layer motion vectors can be combined. Either motion vectors from base layer are reused, resulting in a scaling factor and an update vector, or new motion vectors are calculated. Either forward or backward or bi-directional prediction can be used. Either one frame or multiple frames can be taken as reference. The reference frame can be from the enhancement layer, base layer or both. Either the complete motion vectors are encoded, or only the difference between the motion vector and the corresponding BL motion vector is encoded. <IMAGE>
