Patent CA-2687263-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARCZEWICZ MARTA
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for transforming residual blocks of video data. In particular, a plurality of different transforms selectively applied to the residual blocks based on the prediction mode of the video blocks. At least a portion of the plurality of transforms are separable directional transform specifically trained for a corresponding prediction mode to provide better energy compaction for the residual blocks of the given prediction mode. Using separable directional transforms offers the benefits of lower computation complexity and storage requirement than use of non separable directional transforms. Additionally, a scan order used to scan the coefficients of the residual block may be adjusted when applying separable directional transforms. In particular, the scan order may be adjusted based on statistics associated with one or more previously coded blocks to better ensure that non-zero coefficients are grouped near the front of the one dimensional coefficient vector to improve the effectiveness of entropy coding.

IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2008-07-14
Abstract: Systems and methods of satellite communications for moving terminals, including but not limited to on-the-move and mobile terminals (e.g., on-the-pause terminals), are implemented in certain embodiments using smaller antennas (e.g., aperture area with diameter less than 50 cm), open standard waveforms to secure availability from several suppliers, payment for service only when using the terminal, interference avoidance to adjacent satellites, and low cost. Low cost is achieved in part by operating at frequency bands that are currently operated by terrestrial microwave links so that existing low cost microwave components are utilized. The system also includes an interference elimination system that continuously monitors for interference to adjacent satellites from a user terminal's uplink signal. If interference is detected, the interference elimination system remedies the interference by performing one or more of the following: shutting down the interfering terminal(s), changing transmission parameters, changing the beam coverage on ground, changing the frequency of the affected traffic, or moving the satellite to a new orbital position. The interference elimination system may also transit the interference information to a control center.

Abstract: Security tokens contain data that is each uniquely encrypted based on a unique biometric identifier of an authorized user of that token. Decoders receive the token and the user's biometric identifier, convert the biometric identifier to a biometric key, and apply the biometric key to decrypt the token. In this way, the decoders authenticate the users without performing a biometric identifier comparison.  In some embodiments pieces or sets of the data are stored in designated data compartments, which are individually encrypted based on authority keys, and all of the encrypted data compartments are collectively encrypted based on the biometric key to create the token. The decoders store only the authority keys corresponding to the data compartments which they have authorization to open. In addition, in some embodiments the token and the biometric identifier are encrypted and sent to a remote authentication server for decryption of the token.

Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for production of compounds by yeast and other organisms. In one approach yeast engineered for production of a compound of commercial value is cultured together with a cellulosic bacteria, and the yeast uses a metabolic product produced by the bacteria as a carbon source. Methyl halides are an example of compounds that may be produced by this process. The invention also relates to production of organic compounds using genetically engineered organisms expressing a S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methyl halide transferase. In one approach the organism, halides and a carbon source are incubated in a cultivation medium under conditions in which methyl halide is produced. The methyl halide may be collected and converted into non-halogenated organic molecules.

Abstract: Techniques for mitigating interference in an asynchronous wireless network are described. A terminal may desire to communicate with a serving base station and may observe high interference from other base stations. In an aspect, some frequency resources may be reserved for sending reduce interference requests and pilots to support interference mitigation. In one design, a first station (e.g., a terminal) may send a request to reduce interference to at least one interfering station on reserved control resources. The first station may receive a pilot sent by each interfering station on reserved pilot resources. The reserved resources may be associated with data resources. The first station may estimate received signal quality of the data resources based on the pilot(s).  The first station may receive data sent on the data resources by a second station (e.g., a serving base station) after the interfering station(s) have reduced interference.

Abstract: A disinfectant wet wipe that contains a germicidal solution and a nonwoven web material is provided.    The germicidal solution includes a peracid and peroxide, which can act synergistically together to be efficacious against pathogens when exposed thereto. To stabilize the solution over a period of time (e.g., during storage), a variety of aspects of the wipe are selectively controlled in accordance with the present invention. For example, the nonwoven web material used in the wipe is formed from a synthetic polymer and is relatively hydrophobic in nature. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that such materials possess a lower reduction potential for peroxides/peracids than cellulosic-based materials. In this manner, significant degradation of the peroxide or peracid contained in the germicidal solution is limited. To improve the wettability of the nonwoven web material, one or more surfactants are also employed in the germicidal solution. Besides improving wettability, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that certain surfactants may also improve the stability of the solution.
