20100046957 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION TOLERANT OPTICAL HOMODYNE DETECTION SYSTEM WITH OPTIMIZED TRANSMISSION MODULATION - An optical homodyne communication system and method in which a side carrier is transmitted along with data bands in an optical data signal, and upon reception, the side carrier is boosted, shifted to the center of the data bands, and its polarization state is matched to the polarization state of the respective data bands to compensate for polarization mode dispersion during transmission. By shifting a boosted side carrier to the center of the data bands, and by simultaneously compensating for the effects of polarization mode dispersion, the provided system and method simulate the advantages of homodyne reception using a local oscillator. The deleterious effects of chromatic dispersion on the data signals within the data bands are also compensated for by applying a corrective function to the data signals which precisely counteracts the effects of chromatic dispersion. | 02-25-2010 |

20150103197 | TECHNIQUE FOR VIEW SYNTHESIS - A technique for computing an image of a virtual view based on a plurality of camera views is presented. One or more cameras provide the plurality of camera views. As to a method aspect of the technique, two or three camera views that at least partially overlap and that at least partially overlap with the virtual view are selected among the plurality of camera views. The image of the virtual view is computed based on objects in the selected camera views using a multilinear relation that relates the selected camera views and the virtual view. | 04-16-2015 |
20150189615 | Advanced Geocasting Methods in Mobile Communication Networks, and Network Nodes Therefor - A method provides a network service in a communication network covering a geographical area for a plurality of mobile clients. A mobile client (among the plurality of mobile clients) registers with the communication network. A geomessaging register identifies a service enabler based on registration information of the mobile client. The geomessaging register sends, to the identified service enabler, contact information of the mobile client. The service enabler sends, to the geomessaging register, contact information of the service enabler. The geomessaging register then sends, to the mobile client, the contact information of the service enabler. The mobile client is then connected to the service enabler for receiving the network service. Related network nodes participate in providing such services. | 07-02-2015 |
20150341749 | LOCALIZED NETWORK SERVICE - A method for providing a network service to a plurality of mobile terminals inside a service area. The mobile terminals are arranged to communicate with a cellular communication network and the service area is a part of a geographical area that is covered by the cellular communication network. The method includes defining a grid with grid lines, where the grid covers the service area with one or more tiles framed by the grid lines. A determination is made whether there is at least one split tile that results from splitting the one or more tiles along closer grid lines and that does not overlap with the service area. The one or more tiles are split along the closer grid lines based on the determining, and the network service is provided in the split tiles that cover the service area. | 11-26-2015 |

20080272729 | Assembly of a Motor Vehicle Body and Control Device of Such an Assembly - A control device is provided for an assembly of a motor vehicle body, which assembly can be moved between at least two positions, specifically at least between a position retracted to the maximum extent and a position deployed to the maximum extent, in particular a spoiler. The control device contains a first sensor which transmits a signal to an evaluation device, which determines the position of the assembly from the signal of the first sensor, in dependence on the rotational speed of a motor which serves to move the assembly, and a second sensor which monitors a deployed position of the assembly and transmits a corresponding signal to the evaluation device. The evaluation device corrects the signal provided by the first sensor when the assembly is at least temporarily located in the position monitored by the second sensor and the signal provided by the first sensor is outside a tolerance range. | 11-06-2008 |
20100102629 | Method for Controlling the Movement of an Adjusting Element in a Motor Vehicle - A method controls a movement of an adjusting element in a motor vehicle, preferably a window mechanism or a sliding roof. A closing operation is started by a user of the vehicle via a suitable operating unit. The movement of the adjusting element is monitored for resistance and the movement of the adjusting element is stopped upon detection of resistance. After a movement for opening the adjusting element has been stopped the current degree of opening of the adjusting element is determined and compared to a predefinable reference value, the adjusting element moving back automatically to the closed position if the degree of opening is below the predefinable reference value. | 04-29-2010 |
20100146174 | Method for Protecting Against External Interventions into a Master/Slave Bus System and Master/Slave Bus System - The method serves for protecting against external interventions into a master/slave bus system. The master/slave bus system contains at least one slave and at least one authorized master for outputting an authentic command. The authentic command instructs the slave to carry out a function. Accordingly, the authenticity of the command which has been transmitted over the bus is checked. The execution of the function is enabled only in the event of a positive check result. | 06-10-2010 |
