In a broadcast application on a client-server network the streaming is emulated of animation data over the Internet to a large number of clients. The animation is considered a sequence of states. State information is sent to the clients instead of the graphics data itself. The clients generate the animation data itself under control of the state information. The server and clients communicate using a shared object protocol. Thus, streaming is accomplished as well as a broadcast without running into severe network bandwidth problems. This approach is used to map a real life event, e.g., a motor race, onto a virtual environment in order to let the user participate in a virtual race against the real life professionals, the dynamics of the virtual environment being determined by the state changes sent to the user.

A method of noise suppression to suppress noise in a signal containing background noise (314) in a communications path between a cellular communications network and a mobile terminal. The method comprises the steps of:estimating and up-dating a spectrum of the background noise (332, 334);using the background noise spectrum to suppress noise in the signal;generating an indication to indicate the operation of at least one of a discontinuous transmission unit (DTX) and a bad frame handling unit (BFI); andfreezing estimating and up-dating of the spectrum of the background noise when the indication is present.

A system and method in which the position update rate is adaptively modified, based on previous position measurements. By adjusting the update rate based on velocity predictions from two or more position fixes, a lower update rate may be used without exceeding the maximum error. Lowering the update rate reduces power consumption in the UE, providing longer battery operation. The updating method may comprise periodically repeating the velocity prediction and periodically adjusting the update rate responsive thereto. The update rate may be adjusted using additional information such as an acceleration prediction, a minimum update rate, or a preferred error. In some embodiments a model for user movement may be used to provide more accurate predictions, for example, stationary, walking, jogging, city driving, and freeway driving. The updating method may comprise receiving user input regarding the maximum position error.

A foreground object part is distinguished from a substantially static background part of each videoframe within a video sequence. Each video frame is divided into a number of video blocks each of which comprises one or more pixels. A mask frame is generated in respect of each video frame, each mask frame having a mask block corresponding to each video block in each respective video frame. Each mask block is then set to either an object value, indicating that the corresponding video block in the corresponding video frame includes one or more pixels depicting a foreground object part, or to another value.

A storage device includes a flash memory-based cache for a hard disk-based storage device and a controller that is configured to limit the rate of cache updates through a variety of mechanisms, including determinations that the data is not likely to be read back from the storage device within a time period that justifies its storage in the cache, compressing data prior to its storage in the cache, precluding storage of sequentially-accessed data in the cache and / or throttling storage of data to the cache within predetermined write periods and / or according to user instruction.

Disclosed is a method in which a three-dimensional object is produced by successively compacting layers of a powdered constituent at the points corresponding to the cross-section of the object in the respective layer under the effect of a laser or another source of energy. The powdered constituent used in said method is a material containing old powder left over as non-compacted powder from the production of one or several previously created objects as well as some new powder never used before during a production process. The inventive method is characterized in that the powdered constituent is mechanically compacted when a layer is applied.

Provided is a windfarm controller, a wind power installation and a windfarm configured to perform the method.

A multiplication or division operation X·K or X·1 / K is performed in an electronic circuit. A software circuit area of the circuit calculates a digit shift sv such that psv is an approximate value for K. In a hardware circuit area, the value X is shifted sv digits to the left in the case of multiplication or sv digits to the right in the case of division. The software circuit area calculates a suitable correction factor Kf. The value X is multiplied by the correction factor Kf.

A system and method for online simulation of a controlled machine or process utilizes a simplified model of the system dynamics and may be used with hardware in the loop to evaluate performance of the controlled system or with software in the loop to perform commissioning of the control program prior to completion of the mechanical installation. The simplified model includes dominant order dynamics of the controlled system such as the inertia of the system and a damping factor. Further, the online simulation is scheduled to execute at an update rate slower than the update rate of the control loops within the motor drive. The simplified model and reduced update rate reduce the computational burden on the processor such that the simulation may be performed either on the industrial controller or on the motor drive.

A wireless sensor network comprises at least one sensor unit which comprises a sensor for sensing a parameter and at least one interrogating node. The interrogating node is arranged to transmit an interrogation message periodically to said sensor unit and to receive a reply message from said sensor unit. The sensor unit is arranged to transmit said reply message after a predetermined deliberate delay unless the sensor unit determines that an alarm condition has been met, in which case the sensor unit is arranged to transmit said reply message before the end of the deliberate delay.
