Title: Controlling an adaptive streaming of digital content
Inventor: JARNIKOV DMITRI
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2011-04-27
Abstract: The invention provides an improved adaptive streaming solution wherein an optimal receiver strategy is created and stored in a client device for controlling the adaptive streaming of digital content. The optimal receiver strategy data is a result of solving a stochastic decision problem using a mathematical model based on a Markov Decision Process and using as an input to the mathematical model one or more properties of an encoder and an beforehand estimation of an available bandwidth of a packet switched network and/or variation characteristics of the available bandwidth over time of the packet switched network, wherein the properties comprise at least one of an encoder type identification and a mathematical model of a decoder input buffer used by the encoder.

Abstract: Method and system for identifying neighbor nodes in an ad-hoc wireless network including two or more nodes. The method involves generating a beacon signal at a first node of the network for alerting other nodes in the network of the presence of the first node. A digitally generated first spreading sequence is also generated at the first node. Thereafter, the beacon signal is modulated with the first spreading sequence to produce a spread spectrum signal which is then transmitted. The spreading sequence is selected to be a chaotic sequence.

Abstract: A videogame may include providing body position challenges to one or more players to assume various target body positions at, or within, a predetermined time. Body position challenges may be provided to the one or more players by displaying body position challenge representations that prompt the one or more players to assume body positions and/or execute one or more body movements or gestures corresponding to the body position challenges.    The time may be indicated via various mechanisms associated with the display (as detailed below). At a given time or over a given time interval, the videogame system may compare the player's detected body position(s) and/or movement(s) to the body position challenges to determine a degree of match or mismatch based on various criteria.  Based on the results of the comparison, the game may generate a score or other feedback for display.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for actuating a blow out preventer ("BOP") is disclosed in the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention ("tool") enables the BOP to be rapidly closed when the BOP cannot be closed by a remote means. In one embodiment, the tool is connected to a remotely operated underwater vehicle ("ROV"), and the ROV provides hydraulic power to the tool. The tool is further connected to the BOP, preferably by means of a hot stab connection, and the tool pushes a fluid, glycol/oil, seawater or other fluid, to the BOP in order to actuate the BOP. The tool includes a high pressure pump and one or more high flow pumps. The tool first uses hydraulic power to operate one or more high flow pumps and thereby pump fluid to the BOP until the fluid reaches a predetermined pressure. Once the fluid reaches the predetermined pressure, the tool switches the hydraulic power to operate the high pressure pump, thereby pumping fluid to the BOP through the high pressure pump. The tool, thus, rapidly increases the pressure and flow rate of the fluid flowing to the BOP, and the BOP may be rapidly closed.

Abstract: A NAND flash memory logical unit. The NAND flash memory logical unit includes a control circuit that responds to commands and permits program and/or erase commands to be interruptible by read commands. The control circuit includes a set of internal registers for performing the current command, and a set of external registers for receiving commands. The control circuit also includes a set of supplemental registers that allow the NAND flash memory logical unit to have redundancy to properly hold state of an interrupted program or erase command. When the interrupted program or erase command is to resume, the NAND flash memory logical unit thus can quickly resume the paused program or erase operation. This provides significant improvement to read response times in the context of a NAND flash memory logical unit.

IPC: G10L19/14

Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, bitstream elements of sub-frames are encoded differentially to a global gain value so that a change of the global gain value of the frames results in an adjustment of an output level of the decoded representation of the audio content. Concurrently, the differential coding saves bits otherwise occurring when introducing a new syntax element into an encoded bitstream. Even further, the differential coding enables the lowering of the burden of globally adjusting the gain of an encoded bitstream by allowing the time resolution in setting the global gain value to be lower than the time resolution at which the afore-mentioned bitstream element differentially encoded to the global gain value adjusts the gain of the respective sub-frame. In accordance with another aspect, a global gain control across CELP coded frames and transform coded frames is achieved by co-controlling the gain of the codebook excitation of the CELP codec, along with a level of the transform or inverse transform of the transform coded frames. According to even another aspect, a variation of the loudness of a CELP coded bitstream upon changing the respective gain value is rendered more well adapted to the behavior of transform coded level adjustments, by performing the gain value determination in CELP coding in the weighted domain of the excitation signal.
