| 20120069857 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A PLURALITY OF INFORMATION SIGNALS IN FLEXIBLE TIME-DIVISION MULTIPLEXING - Exact data-rate analysis of the information signal portions to be transmitted in a subsequent transmission cycle per time-division multiplexing process shall be initially omitted. Instead, on the basis of highly accurate estimated values for the subsequent data rates, estimated values for relative waiting times are transmitted, in a current transmission cycle, from the current time slice to the subsequent time slice of the same service. In the subsequent transmission cycle, actual data rates may be set which may deviate from the estimated data rates for the individual information signals, as a result of which predicted time-slice boundaries for the subsequent transmission cycle may shift. However, the potential shift in the time-slice boundaries is subject to several boundary conditions. No time slice of the subsequent transmission cycle can start prior to its signaled estimated starting time. With constant data rates, the estimated time-slice structure and the actual time-slice structure are identical. | 03-22-2012 |

| 20120031191 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING MECHANICAL STRESS LOAD AND INTERFACE EFFECTS ON PARTICLES DISPERSED IN A FLUID - The present invention concerns a method and a device for determining mechanical stress load, and optionally interface effects, on particles dispersed in a fluid. According to the invention, fluid comprising dispersed particles such as biomolecules is fed into a sample space of a device comprising a jacket which encloses a sample chamber and at least two rolls arranged within said jacket such that said sample space is defined between said rolls, said rolls being independently rotatable with respect to each other, wherein said jacket has an inner surface which is essentially adapted to the outer surface of the rolls, rotational movement is imparted to at least one of the rolls of said device, and changes in the state of said particles are determined from which mechanical stress load acting on the particles can be determined | 02-09-2012 |
| 20110267340 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOTION CORRECTION AND IMAGE ENHANCEMENT FOR OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY - Images of an object, such as OCT scans of a human eye, can include distortions and data gaps due to relative motion of the object and the image acquisition device. Methods and systems for correction of such distortions and data gaps are described herein. Motion-corrected data is arrived at by applying three-dimensional transforms to input three-dimensional data sets that represent at least partially overlapping regions of the imaged object. The three dimensional transforms are computed based on an objective function that accounts for similarity between the transformed three-dimensional data sets and the estimated motion of the object relative to an imaging instrument. Methods and systems described herein advantageously eliminate the need for postulated assumptions and reliance on landmarks and are capable of filling data gaps, thereby producing high quality, undistorted images of objects subject to movement during imaging. Multiple motion-corrected data sets can be merged or combined to produce a data set with improved image quality. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20100286572 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING A LOSS OF CONTROL OVER A MUSCLE - A device for predicting a loss of control over a muscle of a human being has a detector for detecting a sound of the muscle, an acquirer for acquiring an acceleration of the human being and an evaluator for evaluating the sound and the acceleration to determine an imminent loss of control over the muscle from the sound and the acceleration. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100283505 | Logic Chip, Logic System and Method for Designing a Logic Chip - A logic chip has a plurality of individually addressable resource blocks each of the resource blocks having logic circuitry, and a communication bar extending across a plurality of the individually addressable resource blocks. The communication bar has a plurality of communication bar segments associated with the resource slots. The communication bar segments of the individually addressable resource blocks have identical interface locations with respect to boundaries of the resource blocks, such that an input interface location of a first resource block matches an output interface location of an adjacent second resource block. At least one of the individually addressable resource blocks has a bypass segment of the communication bar. At least one of the individually addressable resource blocks has an access segment of the communication bar. The access segment has an access structure inserted between a first communication bar interface location and a second communication bar interface location, to allow for a read access or a write access or a combined read/write access to the communication bar. | 11-11-2010 |
