Title: Policy decision method, charging device, and system
Inventor: CHAI XIAOQIAN
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2014-01-04
Granted: 2016-07-28
Abstract: A method for policy decision, comprising: a policy and charging rule function (PCRF) device receiving a policy request of a first user sent from a gateway device; the PCRF device determining that the first user needs to use a cumulative item of a second user according to the policy request; the PCRF device acquiring a current state of the cumulative item of the second user by means of a session of the second user established between the PCRF device and a charging system; and the PCRF device generating a control policy of the first user according to the current state of the cumulative item of the second user, and sending the control policy to the gateway device. The method can realize sharing of cumulative data between users, so that one PCRF device only needs to establish a session with the charging system and acquire the current state of a cumulative item corresponding to first cumulative data by the session, thereby decreasing the processing pressure of the charging system, and further alleviating the performance loss of the charging system.

Title: Device and method for reducing quantization noise in a time-domain decoder
Inventor: VAILLANCOURT TOMMY
IPC: G10L19/03
Filed: 2014-01-09
Granted: 2019-07-04
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and method for reducing quantization noise in a signal contained in a time-domain excitation decoded by a time-domain decoder. The decoded time-domain excitation is converted into a frequency-domain excitation. A weighting mask is produced for retrieving spectral information lost in the quantization noise. The frequency- domain excitation is modified to increase spectral dynamics by application of the weighting mask. The modified frequency-domain excitation is converted into a modified time-domain excitation. The method and device can be used for improving music content rendering of linear-prediction (LP) based codecs. Optionally, a synthesis of the decoded time-domain excitation may be classified into one of a first set of excitation categories and a second set of excitation categories, the second set including INACTIVE or UNVOICED categories, the first set including an OTHER category.

Title: Removing mercury from crude oil
Inventor: LORD CHARLES J
IPC: B01D53/00
Filed: 2014-02-06
Granted: 2017-06-22
Abstract: Methods, systems and designs are provided for removing mercury from crudes. Crude oil is heated to a temperature above 100°C and held at that temperature for a specified period of time to convert all of the forms of mercury in the oil into the elemental mercury form. The elemental mercury is then stripped from the crude oil by e.g., flashing the hot oil and/or contacting it with a gas phase. This process transfers the elemental mercury from the oil phase into the gas phase. Elemental mercury can then be removed from the gas phase by methods such as condensation, precipitation, or absorption either alone or in combination.

Title: A method for reducing aerodynamic forces associated with turbulent flow or drag on a moving vehicle
Inventor: ANDREWS TODD JAMES
IPC: B62D37/02
Filed: 2014-11-09
Granted: 2016-10-06
Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present ideas for minimising the drag forces on the rear of moving objects such as vehicles, planes, trains and trucks etc. This paper also presents the theory of which these ideas are based, basic findings from initial modelling and further formulas and ideas for modelling the theory at a higher detail. Ideas put forth in this paper were based on fluid dynamic principles. These principles included laminar flow of pipes and the fact that water undergoes natural changes of pressure through a pipe called laminar flow. Basically it is assumed that using a flow with extra velocities and a 'structured' design like that associated with laminar flow, will be drawn to the low pressures and 'interrupt' turbulent flow and in turn increase the air pressures at these locations. This in turn will lead to the reduction of drag forces.

Title: Noise filling in multichannel audio coding
Inventor: LUIS VALERO MARIA
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2014-07-18
Granted: 2017-09-21
Abstract: In multichannel audio coding, an improved coding efficiency is achieved by the following measure: the noise filling of zero-quantized scale factor bands is performed using noise filling sources other than artificially generated noise or spectral replica. In particular, the coding efficiency in multichannel audio coding may be rendered more efficient by performing the noise filling based on noise generated using spectral lines from a previous frame of, or a different channel of the current frame of, the multichannel audio signal.
