Title: Method and system using mapped emotions
Inventor: Saptarshi Saradindubasu
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2019-05-16
Abstract: This system collects data relating to an emotional state of individuals associated with a traffic network, wherein the data comprises location of the individuals and time of the emotional state. An emotional value based on the data of each individual is determined, and a digital map layer 100 of the traffic network is generated having a representation of the emotional values displayed thereon. If the emotional value of a geographical area of the traffic network goes beyond a threshold value a message is sent to a vehicle in or going towards the geographical area of the traffic network to cause the at least one vehicle to lower the emotional value of the geographical area. The lowering of the emotional value of the area may be achieved by navigating away from the area (avoiding the area) or by increasing the comfort level of the operator. The comfort level may be improved by adjusting the temperature, playing soothing music or releasing a fragrance.

Title: The reduction of spatial audio parameters
Inventor: MIKKO-VILLE ILARI LAITINEN
IPC: G10L19/022
Filed: 2020-06-09
Abstract: A plurality of spatial audio parameter sets are associated with a plurality of subframes (time slots) frequency sub-bands and sound source directions. These parameter sets are analysed to determine at least one parameter set for subframes of a frame of an audio signal. The determination may relate to the similarity of parameter sets, which may be assessed by comparing pairs of parameter sets by comparing each parameter in turn for equality or similarity within a defined tolerance. The spatial audio parameter sets may comprise a direction vector (azimuth-elevation), a direct-to-total energy ratio, or surround coherence or spread coherence. The determination of a parameter set may depend on coding rate. In an embodiment, similar parameter sets are re-used, thereby reducing 305 the number of spatial audio parameter sets across the subframes. This enables the remaining parameter sets to be encoded at a higher resolution 309.

Title: Method and system using wave-equation for obtaining traveltime and amplitude used in Kirchhoff migration
Inventor: HUI HUANG
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2022-02-08
Abstract: Obtaining 2100 seismic data acquired in an area over a subsurface formation, migrating 2120 the seismic data based on a model of the subsurface formation and using a wave-equation Kirchhoff (WEK) technique for pre-defined surface locations. The WEK technique includes forward-propagating a low-frequency wavefield from a shot location among pre-defined source locations, calculating an arrival traveltime of a maximum amplitude of the low-frequency wavefield, and applying Kirchhoff migration using the arrival traveltime and the maximum amplitude. An image of the subsurface formation is outputted 2130 based on the migrated seismic data. The low-frequency wavefield may correspond to a frequency range of 10-20 Hz or it may extend up to 100 Hz. The forward propagating may include calculating a first full-wavefield propagation based on a wave equation at low frequency with a source wavelet, calculating a second full-wavefield propagation based on the wave equation at the low frequency with a Hilbert transformation of the source wavelet and applying a1D Fourier filter in depth domain to a combination of the first full-wavefield and the second full-wavefield to extract a down-going wavefield.
