Patent EP-2904780-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WIGE EUGEN
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2012-12-18
Abstract: The invention refers to a method for coding a sequence of digital images (I), wherein the method uses a number of prediction modes for predicting values of pixels (P1) in the images (I) based on reconstructed values of pixels in image areas processed previously, where a prediction error (PE) between predicted values and the original values of pixels (P1) is processed for generating the coded sequence of digital images (CI). The invention is characterized in that a preset prediction mode (NLM) is an intra-prediction mode based on pixels of a single image (I), in which preset prediction mode (NLM). In a step i), for a region (R) of pixels with reconstructed values in the single image (I) and for a template (TE) of an image area, a first patch (PA1) of pixels in the region (R) which surround a first pixel (P1) to be predicted based on the template (TE) is compared with several second patches (PA2), each second patch (PA2) being assigned to a second pixel (P2) in the region (R) and consisting of pixels in the region (R) which surround the second pixel (P2) based on the template (TE), thereby determining a similarity measure (SM) for each second pixel (P2) describing the similarity between reconstructed values of the pixels of the second patch (PA2) assigned to the respective second pixel (P2) and the reconstructed values of the pixels of the first patch (PA1). In a step ii), a predicted value of each first pixel (PI) is determined based on a weighted sum of values of the second pixels (P2), where the value of each second pixel (P2) is weighted by a weighting factor which is monotonously decreasing in dependency on a decreasing similarity described by the similarity measure (SM) for the respective second pixel (P2).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hybrid ventilation apparatus capable of both natural and forced ventilation. In the case of a natural ventilation mode, a worm gear is rotated in a normal direction by drive force of a drive unit under control of a control unit so that a pressing member engages with a rotation guide protrusion and rotates a damper, thus opening a flow passage, and then the worm gear is reversely rotated by drive force of the drive unit to return the pressing member to its original position, thus allowing a user to rotate a roller upwards and downwards and rotate the damper so that the degree of opening of the flow passage can be adjusted. Thereby, rapid inflow of outdoor air can be blocked, and a cold graft phenomenon, in which the temperature of indoor air rapidly drops, can be prevented.

Abstract: A user interface element is displayed for in place editing of values within a document. For example, in response to selecting a value, a user interface is displayed near the value that receives a slide gesture for adjusting the value in place. The user interface may be configured to select one of the discrete parts of the value in response to changing a level of the slide gesture. For example, a user may move the swipe gesture from a level used for adjusting the day value to the level representing the year value. The user interface displayed and method(s) used to adjust the value may be based on the type of value and the structure and content of the document.

Abstract: Method and high availability clusters that support synchronous state replication to provide for failover between nodes, and more precisely, between the master candidate machines at the corresponding nodes. There are at least two master candidates (m=2) in the high availability cluster and the election of the current master is performed by a quorum- based majority vote among quorum machines, whose number n is at least three and odd (n≥3 and n is odd). The current master is issued a current time-limited lease to be measured off by the current master's local clock. In setting the duration or period of the lease, a relative clock skew is used to bound the duration to an upper bound, thus ensuring resistance to split brain situations during failover events.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile device connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot first performs a connectivity check to determine whether the wireless connection is trapped in the walled garden of a captive portal by transmitting a connectivity check message to one or more external endpoints in the public IP network. If no response is received, the mobile device determines that it is in the captive portal state, and generates a browser window bound to the Wi-Fi state tracker of the mobile device displaying the portal page for the captive portal. In such a manner, the mobile device does not offload any traffic from its wireless cellular interface to its Wi-Fi interface until it is certain the Wi-Fi interface may access the public IP network, thereby preventing data interruption for mobile applications.

Abstract: This invention identifies a metal area of actual measurement projection data p1 from the actual measurement projection data p1 and an actual measurement reconstruction image R1 obtained by image reconstruction of the actual measurement projection data p1, to acquire metal area identification data p1c. In the actual measurement projection data p1, a resulting image has pixel values in the metal area such as of wire or screws, for example, not so different from pixel values of other areas, which makes it difficult to identify the metal area Y1 accurately. However, the metal area Y1 can be identified with increased accuracy. Based on the metal area identification data p1c, data replacement of the metal area Y1 of the actual measurement projection data p1 is carried out with data Z obtained from pixels adjacent the metal area Y1, thereby to acquire replacement projection data p2, which is put to image reconstruction to generate a replacement reconstruction image R2 without the metal area Y1. Since the metal area Y1 is identified with increased accuracy, the tissue adjacent the metal area Y1 of the tomographic image (replacement reconstruction image R2) can be restored with increased accuracy.

Abstract: A wireless adapter and method for providing a wireless connection to at least one wired security device includes at least one combined data/power physical port to which the wired security device connects. A power supply module receives power from an external power source and a power injector provides power to the combined data/power physical port to thereby power the wired security device. In this way, the wireless adapter supplies both power and data connection at the same physical port/jack of the wired security devices, such as IP security cameras, via an interface cable from the wireless adapter. This configuration has advantages in lowering the manufacturing costs of the cameras and reducing installation costs. Furthermore, the same standard camera can be used for both standard wired connections and wireless connections.
