Title: Interacting with audio and animation data delivered to a mobile device
Inventor: CHAPMAN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to the generation of audio and visual data displayable on a portable device such as a mobile phone or tablet in the form of a character animation. At a graphics station, a character data file is created for a character having animatable lips and a speech animation loop is generated having lip control for moving the animatable lips in response to a control signal and the character data file and the speech animation loop are uploaded to an internet server. At a production device, the character data file is obtained along with the speech animation loop from the internet server, local audio e.g a podcast is received to produce associated audio data and a control signal to animate the lips. Aprimary animation data file is constructed with lip movement and this file is transmitted, along with associated audio data, to the internet server. At each mobile display device, the character data is received from the internet server along with the primary animation data file and the associated audio data. The character data file and the primary animation data file are processed to produce primary rendered video data, and the primary rendered video data is played with the associated audio data such that the movement of the lips shown in the primary rendered video data when played is substantially in synchronism with the audio being played. For this invention both a primary animation file and an alternative animation sequence are downloaded with the audio data. The character data file is processed with the primary animation data file to produce primary rendered video data which is played with the associated audio data, such that the movement of the lips shown in the primary rendered video data when played is substantially in synchronism with the audio being played. In response to a mechanical interaction such as a tap or shake, an alternative video data is produced from the alternative animation sequence and the alternative video data is played instead of the primary rendered video data.

Title: Mass spectrometer with laser spot pattern for MALDI
Inventor: HAASE ANDREAS
IPC: H01S3/00
Filed: 2014-10-23
Abstract: A mass spectrometers with a matrix-assisted laser desorption ion (MALDI) source has a UV laser system 1, 2 for ionization of analyte molecules in a sample, with a pattern generator that produces a spatially distributed laser spot pattern with several intensity peaks of equal height (Figure 4a). The spot pattern is generated using a combination of a lens array 3 and a lens 4, which may be a Fourier lens, and the lens 3 array must satisfy a mathematical condition for the separation of the micro-lenses from each other (pitch) and the focal length of the lenslets. A lens array 3 with square lenses may produce a pattern of nine spots. A lens array 3 with round lenses may produce a pattern of five spots. The lens arrays 3 are insensitive to lateral adjustment for ease of calibration. A telescope system may be used in the spectrometer to image the spot pattern onto the sample. Peripheral spots may not have the same amplitude, and may be masked 6.

Title: Traffic steering/load balancing between Wi-Fi and cellular telecommunications networks
Inventor: ZHANHONG LU
IPC: H04W36/22
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A computer-implemented method at a self-organizing network (SON) engine of a telecommunications network is described. The method comprises receiving Wi-Fi traffic load information 700 from a Wi-Fi controller (218, figure 3) of the telecommunications network (200) without the need for a direct physical connection between the Wi-Fi controller (or an additional network element connected to the Wi-Fi controller) and cellular network elements of the telecommunications network. Cellular traffic load data is also received from a plurality of cellular networks of different technologies, 702, 704, 706. The self-organizing network engine (808, figure 8) is arranged so that if the Wi-Fi traffic load data, or cellular traffic load data, reaches a threshold 708, then the self-organising network engine computes handover parameters 714 to handover user equipment devices 214 between the WiFi network and the cellular network 216. The self-organizing network sends instructions to the telecommunications network to implement the handover parameters. Improved traffic steering and/or mobility load balancing between Wi-Fi and cellular radio access telecommunications networks is achieved. Wi-Fi traffic load information is received from an operation support system (OSS) having an open connection to the Wi-Fi controller, an open connection being one which is not proprietary.

Title: Evaluating near range communications quality
Inventor: BRENDAN CHRISTIAN GOODBODY
IPC: H04W16/18
Filed: 2015-07-22
Abstract: The application is concerned with modelling the quality of near-range RF communications in an environment containing 3D objects such as buildings. The model uses both a ground-plane data set, describing features with limited vertical extent such as rivers and roads, and a 3D object data set describing buildings and the like. The data sets are obtained by processing the data describing the environment. In a preferred embodiment the processing involves abstracting the data sets from a virtual 3D city model such as CityGML. The invention estimates the quality of a propagation path between two locations. This preferably involves estimating signal level at a destination, taking loss rate (presumably path loss) into account.
