Title: Warning circuit
Inventor: LEWINSKY JOHN
IPC: G08B3/10
Filed: 2000-07-18
Abstract: An audible warning device e.g. for a fire alarm system is arranged to generate an audible output signal having a first frequency 1/T1 and comprises an audible output transducer 10 and a driver circuit 12 for applying an alternating drive signal, having a second and higher frequency 1/T2, to the transducer 10 over successive distinct periods, the frequency of the periods being equal to the first frequency 1/T1. The (second) frequency at which the transducer 10 is driven is at or near the resonant frequency of the transducer 10. However, the (second) frequency signal is only applied in successive distinct periods at the (first) lower frequency and thus the transducer appears to produce an audible output signal at this lower frequency. There is also a method of tuning the a transducer to output an audible output signal at the (first) lower frequency by determining the (second) frequency at which the audible output of the transducer is high and driving the transducer 10 with a drive signal at the determined (second) frequency over successive distinct periods, the frequency of the periods being equal to the desired (first) frequency.

Title: Error resiliency within the enhancement layers of scalable video transmissions
Inventor: SHANABLEH TAMER JAMAL
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: A method for improving a quality of MPEG-4, or similar, scalable video enhancement layers transmitted over an error-prone network. The method includes the steps of inserting one or more re-synchronisation markers (660, 760, 860) into one or more enhancement layers of a scalable video sequence. When one or more errors (630, 730, 830) is detected in said one or more enhancement layers of said scalable video sequence, data is concealed (640, 740, 840) in the video sequence from a video bit position at which said one or more errors is detected, to a video bit position of a subsequent error free re-synchronisation marker. In this manner, a reduction in the amount of error-free data that has to be discarded can be achieved. This, in turn, reduces the amount of visual degradation in the video transmission. Dependant claims also detail how data partitioning and reverse variable length decoding may also be implemented within the enhancement layers.
