Title: Systems and methods for encoder-guided adaptive-quality rendering
Inventor: KOPIETZ MICHAEL
IPC: H04N19/10
Filed: 2021-04-06
Granted: 2022-07-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for rendering. The method 
comprises the steps of generating one or more reference images, and encoding the one or more 
reference images for a partial range of encoder settings. Further, the method comprises 
comparing, for each encoded reference image, one or more first perceived qualities to one or 
more second perceived qualities. A match between the one or more first perceived qualities and 
the one or more second perceived qualities results in an association of one or more encoder 
settings with a matching rendering quality-settings profile. The method further comprises 
generating a rendered image at a substantially identical perceived quality to an encoded frame.

Abstract: The IEEE1394 bus communication protocol has three layers: physical layer, link layer, and transaction layer. A link layer IC implements the interface to an external application and prepares data for sending on the bus, or interprets incoming data packets from the IEEE1394 bus. A physical layer IC implements the direct electrical connection to the bus and controls many functions including arbitration for sending data on the bus. According to the invention the capacity of the on-chip memory becomes assigned in a flexible way in order to be able to meet the requirements for any specific service. Further, the on-chip memory is prevented from storing data packets containing transmission errors by CRC checking on the fly header data and other data. This is performed for asynchronous data packets as well as isochronous data packets, and allows to have a minimum on-chip memory capacity only. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method to divide upstream timeslots in a multiple access system that couples a line terminator (LT) via a tree-like network to a plurality of network terminators (NT1, NT2, ..., NT16) and that distributes downstream data packets by the line terminator to the plurality of network terminators. The method includes the following steps :   inclusion by the line terminator in a downstream data packet at a predefined place of a grant (TEA1 ; TEA2 ; ... ; TEA16) being associated to one of the plurality of network terminators and distributing that downstream packet, reacting by the network terminator upon reception and recognition of its own grant by transmitting an upstream data packet in a predefined upstream timeslot.   In the event when the network terminator is a lower order network terminator and the predefined place is a predefined first place, the upstream data packet are transmitted in a lower order timeslot. In the event when the network terminator is a higher order network terminator and the predefined place is a predefined first place, the upstream data packet is transmitted in one of a plurality of higher order timeslots, where the higher order timeslots are subslots of a predefined number of higher order subslots included in the predefined upstream timeslot. In the event when the network terminator is a higher order network terminator and the predefined place is a predefined second place, the upstream data packet is also transmitted in such higher order timeslot. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to the finding that virus like particles (VLPs) can be loaded with immunostimulatory substances, in particular with DNA oligonucleotides containing non-methylated C and G (CpGs). Such CpG- VLPs are dramatically more immunogenic than their CpG-free counterparts and induce enhanced B and T cell responses. The immune response against antigens optionally coupled, fused or attached otherwise to the VLPs is similarly enhanced as the immune response against the VLP itself. In addition, the T cell responses against both the VLPs and antigens are especially directed to the Thl type. Antigens attached to CpG-loaded VLPs may therefore be ...
