Title: Appratus and method for communicating data over an optical channel
Inventor: Benjamin p smith
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2016-12-20
Abstract: An optical module 120 processes first FEC (Forward Error Correction) encoded data produced by a first FEC encoder 112. The optical module 120 has a second FEC encoder 122 for further coding a subset of the first FEC encoded data to produce second FEC encoded data. The optical module 120 also has an optical modulator 123 for modulating, based on a combination of the second FEC encoded data and a remaining portion of the first FEC encoded data that is not further coded, an optical signal for transmission over an optical channel 102. The second FEC encoder 122 is an encoder for an FEC code that has a bit-level trellis representation with a number of states in any section of the bit-level trellis representation being less than or equal to 256 states. In this manner, the second FEC encoder 122 has relatively low complexity (e.g. relatively low transistor count) that can reduce power consumption for the optical module 120.

Title: System and method for steering of an implement on sloped ground
Inventor: Terence d pickett
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2015-08-12
Abstract: A target steering angle is detected (S300), where the target steering angle is associated with an implement steering system for tracking a planned implement path. A data processor determines whether or not the implement steering angle is at or near a maximum steering angle toward a lateral upslope of ground (S302).

Title: Spatial audio processing
Inventor: ANTTI JOHANNES ERONEN
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2017-04-24
Abstract: A method for providing a sound object with a spatial extent, wherein a user input 101 selects one or more spatial audio channels (52, fig 4) (e.g. frequency bands), where each spatial audio channel is for rendering at a location within sound space (10, fig 1). In response to the user input, the method automatically changes an allocation of frequency sub-channels (53, fig 4) to the multiple spatial audio channels. The user input may perform a grabbing hand gesture 101A associated with a first portion of sound space, and a dropping hand gesture 101B associated with a second portion of sound space. An input audio signal (113, fig 4) may pass through a short-term Fourier transform (STFT) producing frequency sub-channels (51, fig 4). The sub-channels may be passed into an allocation module (60, fig 4) such as a filter bank, which allocates the frequency sub-channels to one of the multiple spatial audio channels 52. The spatial audio channels may be mixed (74, fig 4) before outputting to different audio device channels (76, fig 4). A user interface 400 may have a visual indication 412 of a lateral extent of the sound object.
