Title: Method for generating a warning that a stereoscopic (3D) image sequence has been derived from a two-dimensional (2D) image sequence
Inventor: DIGGINS JONATHAN
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 2011-05-13
Abstract: To generate a warning 118 that a stereoscopic (3D) image sequence has been synthesised from a two dimensional (2D) image sequence, a video processing method correlates left-eye and right-eye image data 101, 102 from a stereoscopic image sequence to identify, e.g. by a correlation process 111-114, any sustained temporal offset between the left-eye and right-eye image data. A measure of sustained correlation between a measured spatial distribution of horizontal disparity between left and right eye image pairs and a spatial model of the distribution can also be used to generate the 2D image warning or alert; the correlation measure may be evaluated for L and R eye image data that has been time-aligned using identified sustained temporal offset. A combination of sustained temporal offset and sustained correlation with a spatial disparity model (e.g., linear model derived from linear regression) can be used in warning generation. Detection of such 2D-derived, â  synthetic 3Dâ   images allow content quality assurance and restriction of the use of synthetic 3D content.

Inventor: HUGO EDD
IPC: B60G7/00
Filed: 2011-06-21
Abstract: A structural component 1 is provided for a vehicle designed for driving off-road on rough terrain. The component 1, such as the lower control arm of a suspension system, is formed from aluminium, aluminium-alloy or other light-weight material and provided on its underside with a parallel arrangement of chamfered ribs 5 which extend in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The spacing between adjacent ribs 5 is less than or equal to 10 mm so as to prevent underlying rocks and stones 7 from impacting, and thereby abrading the inner surface 3 of the component 1. The ribs 5 are provided as sacrificial elements and will become eroded in use until they no longer provide the desired protection of the inner surface 3. The extent of abrasion of the ribs 5 can be ascertained by a visual inspection of the underlying surface of the vehicle, and, if necessary, the component 1 can be replaced.

Inventor: KAUKOVUORI JOUNI KRISTIAN
IPC: H03F1/26
Filed: 2011-10-12
Abstract: A configurable LNA with inductive degeneration or with an impedance-matching stage in parallel with the principal gain stage A low noise amplifier may be configured with inductive degeneration (figure 8) or with an impedance-matching amplifier stage XMATCH coupled in parallel with the input of the principal LNA gain stage M2 (figure 6).

A common bias voltage for devices M1 and M2 is provided internally through Rfb. No input coupling capacitor or bias resistor is required, which reduces the circuit size and noise factor. The output of the matching stage, coupled through M4, may augment the output of the main input transistor M2. The LNA may possess a single-ended or differential structure. The LNA is compact, inexpensive, consumes little power, has no external bias components, is suitable for high volume manufacture, and requires no external matching components Lextp, Lextm when the impedance-matching stage XMATCH is used.

Filed: 2012-05-04
Abstract: A transgenic non-human vertebrate (e.g. a mouse) or non-human vertebrate cell comprises a gene locus for expression of antibody heavy chains, comprising a human variable region, an endogenous mu constant region, and a humanised non-mu (preferably gamma) constant region downstream of the mu constant region. The locus can express a chimeric IgM immunoglobulin comprising a human variable region and an endogenous mu constant region, and following in vivo isotype switching it can express a fully-human non-IgM (e.g. IgG) immunoglobulin comprising a human variable region and a human non-mu (e.g. gamma) constant region. The vertebrate or cell may express human heavy-chain only antibodies or it may also express human or chimeric light chain immunoglobulins. The animals or cells may be used to obtain antigen-specific antibodies that are fully human (i.e., comprising human variable and constant regions) and have undergone affinity maturation in vivo. The animal or cell may comprise a functional activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) gene to enhance isotype switching. Populations of non-human vertebrates expressing human antibodies, and the pharmaceutical and therapeutic uses of antibodies produced in this way, are also provided.

Title: Cell selection in a heterogeneous network of macrocells and small cells
Inventor: CHEN TAO
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2012-07-30
Abstract: Uplink buffer occupancy and a link imbalance (uplink stronger in non-serving cell) between a serving and a neighbour cell operating in the same frequency and the same radio access technology are determined for a user equipment (UE). Based at least on these criteria, the UE is controlled to transition directly from an idle state with the serving cell to a connected state with the neighbour cell. In this way the UE selects the best cell for RRC connection establishment. In one embodiment the UE checks its own buffer occupancy, link imbalance and downlink channel quality against thresholds to decide whether to transition directly. In another embodiment the UE sends to the serving cell at least its buffer occupancy and link imbalance, and the serving cell sends to the UE a redirect message that identifies the 'neighbour cell as a target cell for the direct transition. The neighbour cell may be a small cell (femtocell, picocell) operating at a lower transmit power than the (macro) serving cell.

Title: Method and system for data access in a storage infrastructure
Inventor: HAUSTEIN NILS
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2013-09-11
Abstract: A storage infrastructure 100 comprises a host system 102 connected to at least two storage systems 115A, 115B, and a de-duplication module 101. The de-duplication module contains a table 127 comprising multiple entries, each including a hash value, a data location, an identifier, and usage counts in each storage system for an individual data chunk. A write request for storing a data chunk in one of the storage systems is funnelled through the module using a hash value of the chunk; if an entry for the hash value is present in the table, an entry for the location of the chunk is written to a reference table in the storage system; if no entry is present, one is created and the chunk is stored in the storage system. Where the usage count for the chunk in that storage system exceeds a specified value, the chunk is stored again. This reduces the risk of a bottleneck in read requests for a particular data chunk.
