Title: Method for broadcasting a series of contents from a source to receiver terminals, through a computer network, related signal, broadcasting source and terminal
Inventor: BERTIN CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A method of broadcasting a succession of contents through a computer network from a broadcasting source (S) to a plurality of receiver terminals able to receive from the source. The method includes, for each content, sending data units conveying the content from the source through the computer network, and supplying the receiver terminals with an indication enabling them to identify each transition between two successive contents, thus enabling the receiver terminals to determine the time of a transition between successive contents more precisely. The data units to be broadcast are marked by modifying the marking of the data units of the successive contents separated by a single transition. The receiver terminals (T) are supplied with marking information enabling them to distinguish between data units belonging to different contents (Cn, Cn+1) with the aid of their marking.

power value may then be determined that reflects a second power provided by th
engine (120) based on the parasitic power value, the intermittent power value,
and the net power value. Based on changes in at least one of the parasitic power
value and the intermittent power value, the process may adjust the second power
value such that the engine (120) substantially provides the predetermined net

Abstract: A transmitter has a tire condition sensor, a
transmission circuit, a voltage sensor and an electricity
control circuit. The tire condition sensor detects the
condition of a tire. The voltage sensor detects a voltage of
the battery. During a period from when the tire condition
sensor detects the condition of the tire to when the
transmission circuit starts transmitting the data, the
electricity control circuit performs a transmission
preparation process to gradually increase electricity supplied
to the transmission circuit from a battery, thereby gradually
increasing a radio wave output of the transmission circuit.
If the value of the voltage detected by the voltage sensor is
lowered to a lowest operation voltage of the transmitter
during the transmission preparation process, the electricity
control circuit limits the supply of electricity to the
transmission circuit from the battery.

Abstract: A method of reducing visible flicker in a transflective display device, having a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a transmissive sub-pixel and a reflective sub-pixel, is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: driving the pixels with an alternating voltage; determining a first desired compensation voltage for the transmissive sub-pixels and a second desired compensation voltage for the reflective sub-pixels; deriving a common compensation voltage from said first desired compensation voltage and said second desired compensation voltage; and applying said common compensation voltage to both the transmissive and the reflective sub-pixels. Thus, the flicker resulting from a DC bias of the driving voltage is substantially reduced. In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises the steps of: determining a lowest available frame frequency setting for which any remaining flicker is invisible; and setting a frame frequency at which the display is driven to said lowest available frame frequency. According to another embodiment, a backlight is manually controlled and the common compensation voltage is derived as a function of a mode of operation of the backlight. A transflective display device implementing the above methods is also disclosed.
