Title: Transport Protocol control information for controlling processing of data at the receiving device.
Inventor: SCHMIDT ANDREAS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2006-06-13
Abstract: A communication device has a source-coding unit and a transport protocol unit. A source coding unit is a unit which compresses an uncompressed data record or datastream (e.g. a datastream of video, audio or text type of media). The transport protocol unit is arranged in such a manner that it can add to the source-coded data in the transport protocol message control information by means of which the processing of the data to be transmitted can be controlled in a communication device receiving the transport protocol message. It may control audio information (volume, pitch, echo, sound effects). The advantage of the invention is that control information is no longer added in the codec itself but below the codec application layer in the transport layer, which provides for very simple updating and changing of control information with out requirement to change the codec itself and thus the source coding unit or decoding unit. The control data is transmitted at TCP/RTCP (Transport Control Protocol/ Real Time TCP) protocol layer level (below the codec), not the application protocol layer level.

Title: Device and method for controlling trimming flaps
Inventor: BOENING GUENTHER
IPC: B63B39/06
Filed: 2006-08-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling trimming flaps 12, 13 of a watercraft 10. The watercraft may have two trimming flaps and in each case at least one hydraulically operated system (18, Fig 5) for adjustment of the inclination angle (15, Fig 3) of the associated trimming flap. The invention provides that the, or each hydraulic system has an associated flowmeter 21 which detects the flow of hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system (18) in order to determine the inclination angle of the associated trimming flap. This makes it possible to dispense with external measurement devices for detection of the position of the trimming flaps, for example appropriate position sensors. The device may be controlled automatically to adjust the inclination angle of the flaps as a function of the speed of the watercraft, and/or of the rotation speed of the watercraft motor. The invention also relates to a corresponding method, and to watercraft having a corresponding device.
