Patent EP-1617677-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WU FENG
IPC: H04N19/61
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: Techniques and tools are described for scalable video coding and decoding. For example, a 3D sub-band video encoder includes an embedded base layer codec as well as temporal sub-band transforms and spatial sub-band transforms. The placement of the base layer codec among the sub-band transforms and the role of the base layer codec in scalable video coding vary depending on implementation. In general, the base layer codec provides efficient compression at low bit rates and produces a base layer compressed video bit stream compatible with existing decoders. At the same time, the 3D sub-band video encoder provides spatial and temporal scalability options at higher bit rates, refining the base layer video. A corresponding 3D sub-band video decoder includes an embedded base layer decoder.

Abstract: The invention provides a railway car with superior riding quality by improving the flexural rigidity of the car body structure while suppressing increase of body structure mass. A reinforcing plate (7) is attached to a roof construction (1) on the side facing an inner side of the car body at a longitudinal center portion of a railway car body structure (10) composed of a roof construction (1), a side construction (2), an underframe (3) and an end construction (4). The range in which the reinforcing plate (7) is adhered in the longitudinal direction of the railway car body structure (10) is between two body bolsters (6), and the range in which the plate (7) is adhered in the horizontal direction of the roof construction (1) is approximately half the length of the roof construction (1) in the horizontal direction. The thickness of the reinforcing plate (7) is increased gradually as the height of the roof construction (1) in the vertical direction increases. According to this arrangement, the deformation of the roof construction (1) at the longitudinal center portion of the railway car body structure (10), which is excessive without the present arrangement, is suppressed, and the flexural rigidity of the railway car body structure (10) is effectively improved. In other words, the bending vibration of the railway car body in the vertical direction can be suppressed, and a superior riding quality is provided.

Abstract: A smart-access media transmission system (SAMTS) includes a server, a network for connecting the server and clients, and a broadcasting channel for transmitting media data to all the clients. When a new client joins the broadcasting channel, a feedback channel and an append channel are temporarily created between the new client and the server. An acknowledgement information s sent from the new client to the server, which includes IP address and joined time of the new client. Then a media abstract is sent from the server to the new client. The feedback channel and the append channel will be cancelled after the short media abstract is transmitted. Therefore, the SAMTS gives a better trade-off between burden (server and network) and functionality (more initiative client) based on the techniques of video abstraction.

Abstract: The binding reaction between an affinity substance to be measured and a binding partner having the activity to bind to the affinity substance is measured using agglutination reaction. The binding partner is bound to carrier particles, and the carrier particles agglutinate through a binding reaction. According to the present invention, the agglutination reaction is enhanced by incubating the reaction solution before an electric field is applied. According to the present invention, the agglutination reaction is also enhanced by adjusting the temperature and/or viscosity of the reaction solution placed in an electric field. The present invention contributes to the improvement of measurement sensitivity. The present invention also comprises the step of diluting the carrier particle-containing reaction solution before counting the agglutinates. The binding between the affinity substance and the binding partner thereof is enhanced in the dilution step of the present invention. As a result, the disruption of agglutinates is prevented and the measurement sensitivity is increased. Furthermore, diluted carrier particles and agglutinates can be distinguished with high accuracy.

Abstract: The special feature of this multiphase and multidimensional wave converter is that it exploits, in an efficient and enduring manner, substantially all of the energy in all waves of the sea, also side waves, and hence is capable of producing large amounts of cheap power. The wave converter comprises at least two buoyant elements ( 1 ) connected in a chain of rods ( 2 A, 2 B) and joints ( 3, 4 ). Each single buoyant element is in a different phase of the wave than that of the others. They will therefore absorb the energy from the relative motion and forces between each set of buoyant elements ( 1 ). Each of the elements ( 1 ) is capable of moving and pivoting in three dimensions whilst the energy from all these motions is exploited. The energy-producing devices may be comprised of fluid-driving pumps ( 7, 8, 9 ) responding to the pivoting of the joints ( 3,4 ) and the motion of the rods ( 2 A, 2 B). The wave converter absorbs energy from a varying wave spectrum and from all directions. The forces affecting the wave converter are balanced by the various buoyant elements ( 1 ), thus avoiding transmitting these forces via mooring. The wave converter provides appreciable economic advantages and durability. It may also operate at any place in the sea and the ocean, at shallow depths as well as at the large depths of the ocean.
