Patent EP-1442543-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LASHINA TATIANA A
IPC: H03G5/02
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (200) for controlling and mixing signals, each having their individual controlmember (212, 213, 214, 215). In known mixer apparatuses (100), the direct transfer of the level of the input signal to the output signal cannot be seen directly. Therefore, it is proposed that the control members (212, 213, 214, 215)corresponding to the respective input signals show the direct transfer of the input signal to the output signal. It is proposed to control the level of the output signal as a whole by means of one main control member (211). When the main control member (211) is moved and controls the level of the output signal, the control members (212, 213, 214, 215) corresponding to the respective input signal move along with it and preserve the relationship between the control levels of the individual input signals in the output signal. The invention also relates to a method and a record carrier (510).

Abstract: In a method for providing a video data streaming service, a server determines whether an occupancy is below a first threshold or is equal to or greater than a second threshold, the occupancy representing the amount of data occupying a queuing buffer of a terminal and the first threshold being less than the second threshold. If the occupancy is not below the first threshold, the server provides the data streaming service at a predetermined service bit rate which is less than the current service bit rate. If the occupancy is equal to or greater than a second threshold, the server provides the data streaming service at a predetermined service bit rate which is greater than the current service bit rate.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for sharing of a network resource that requires
an authentication ID for access with a user not currently having an authentication
ID. A placeholder is generated in an access list providing authorization for the
network resource and the placeholder is associated with a known identifier of the
user. Upon the user obtaining an authentication ID and attempting to access the
network resource, the authentication ID for the user is stored in the placeholder to
establish authorization for the user to the network resource. Several checks may be
made prior to storing the authentication ID within the placeholder, including
determining whether the user has verified obtaining the authentication ID with the
issuer, determining whether the authentication ID of the user attempting access
matches the authentication ID the issuer has provided for the user, and determining
whether the known identifier stored in the placeholder matches a sign-in provided by
the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a system and method for
concealing video errors. The system includes a coding engine (402) for processing each frame
of a video signal to generate macroblocks, selecting a refresh interval based upon network
communication parameters, and encoding one or more of the macroblocks as refresh intra-coded
macroblocks based upon the selected refresh interval. The refresh intra-coded
macroblocks are placed into discrete data packets for transmission across a network to one or
more remote devices. Upon receiving other refresh intra-coded macroblocks from a remote
device via the network, the coding engine (402) decodes the received intra-coded macroblocks,
and places the decoded macroblocks in a newly decoded video frame to be used as reference
frame macroblocks for reducing video errors associated with prediction drift.

influence of the total deflection of the machine stiffness on the sensor signals, 
whereby displacement sensor signals obtained at machining of subsequent work
pieces (9) are fed into the evaluation unit and there are processed with the constants
for giving a series of sensor signals representing the true total deflection of the
loaded and running machine stiffness chain, 
and subsequently using this true total deflection signals for calculation of different

Abstract: A display device comprises a display (2), a display memory (1) and an image
processing apparatus (20). Input colour component samples representative of a colour
image are stored in the display memory (1) prior to being displayed. The input colour
component samples are read out from the display memory (1) and processed by the
image processing apparatus (20) before being displayed by the display device. The
image processing apparatus comprises a colour dynamic range converter (30) operable
to increase the resolution of the input colour component samples, a low pass filter (36)
operable to filter the increased resolution colour component signal samples, and a
detection processor (34). The detection processor (34) analyses the input colour
component samples to detect a difference between samples associated with detail
appearing in the colour image. Consequent upon detection of this detail the detection
processor (34) adjusts the bandwidth of the low pass filter in correspondence with the
detected detail. The image processor thereby increases a colour palette available to
display the colour image, with an advantage that detail is preserved in the reproduced
image which may otherwise be lost.

Abstract: A method of forming the active region of an optoelectronic device incorporating semiconductor quantum dots whose ground state emission occurs at wavelengths beyond 1350 nm at a temperature of substantially 293 K is provided by forming a first layer of quantum dots covered by a spacer layer with strained areas extending there through. The spacer layer then forms a template upon which quantum dots of an active layer may be formed with a surface with a surface density and formation that is influenced by the underlying first layer of quantum dots. This allows a choice of growth parameters more favourable to the formation of quantum dots in the active layer emitting at long wavelengths with a narrow inhomogeneous broadening. As an example, the active layer of quantum dots may be formed at a lower temperature than the first layer of quantum dots. The quantum dots of the active layer are then subject to less intermixing with the surrounding spacer and capping layers, and can also preserve a more strain-relaxed state, which results in a longer wavelength emission with a narrower inhomogeneous broadening. This method is particularly well suited to the growth of the active region of an optoelectronic device on a GaAs substrate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining information in one or more virtual volume aggregates comprising a plurality of virtual volumes. The method maintains a plurality of virtual volumes in a first information storage medium, and forms one or more virtual volume aggregates, where each of the of virtual volumes is assigned to one of the virtual volume aggregates.

The method then identifies the least recently used virtual volume, and writes the virtual volume aggregate comprising that least recently used virtual volume to one or more second information storage media. Thereafter, the method determines if space is required on said first information storage medium. If space is required on said first information storage medium, the method selects the virtual volume aggregate comprising the least recently used virtual volume and removes from said first information storage medium each virtual volume in that selected virtual volume aggregate that has been written to one or more second information storage media.
