Inventor: MORAN ADARRAGA JUAN
IPC: H04M1/72403
Filed: 2012-10-05
Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods that provide knowledge about a reaction (e.g. interest) of a group (normally of people) with respect to a set of elements or options, wherein each group member can react in a different manner. Assuming that the group is accessible by electronic means (e.g. Internet) this system may be based on a group response algorithm to estimate group reaction minimizing workload of group members and minimizing the time needed. To minimize or reduce group members' workload and time, the algorithm uses statistic tools. The group response system estimates group reaction with previously set statistic reliability. The present invention can also use secondary algorithms for specific cases.

IPC: F03D9/02
Filed: 2012-12-10
Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine or a wind farm having wind turbines. The wind turbine(s) are operated with a predetermined power curve. Electric power is generated once a first wind speed is reached. A partial-load operation mode occurs when the wind speed is between the first and second wind speeds. A nominal power range operation occurs if the wind speed is greater than the second wind speed. A proportion of the generated power is consumed in a power-to-gas unit and a proportion is fed into an electrical grid and set to be constant for a predetermined time. Forecast power for a forecast time period is determined based on wind forecast data. When operation in the partial-load operation mode occurs, electric power produced beyond the forecast power can be transmitted to the power-to-gas unit. An object of the invention is to stabilize electric power generated by wind turbine(s).

Inventor: CARON FRANCOIS
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2013-05-14
Abstract: In real-time video applications, where unreliable networks are commonplace, corrupted video packets can affect adversely the visual quality. In this patent application, we present an improved method and system for video error correction based on maximum likelihood. Rather than discarding corrupted video packets, the method estimates the likeliest syntactically valid video slice content based on these packets. We present two embodiments, which permits solving the problem at the slice-level, and a simplified solution operating at the syntax element-level. The performance of the method is evaluated using the H.264 baseline profile. Unlike existing video error concealment methods, we correct errors in the bitstream instead of reconstructing missing pixels. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields improved visual quality, and is also computationally simpler than existing state-of-the-art error concealment methods. A corresponding system for video error correction is also provided.
