| 20100018685 | Fluid Reservoir With Heat Exchanger - The invention relates to a fluid reservoir having a sorption medium. An energy absorbing and/or releasing device is provided for the improvement of the energy balance and for an immediately accessible heat supply from the sorption medium, for the gas release process, during the extraction of fuel from the fluid reservoir. For the intermediate storage of thus transferred energy in the form of differential heat between the filling and emptying of the fluid reservoir, the use of a latent heat reservoir, especially materials having melting temperatures of between 0° C. and 1400° C., is preferred. The use of such a latent heat reservoir enables permanent sufficient supplies of immediately accessible energy for a sufficient fluid extraction from the fluid reservoir, such that a flawless operation of an energy converter operated using the fluid, e.g. in the form of a fuel cell or a gas motor, is always ensured, especially in the event of low ambient temperatures. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090136138 | Methods and Device for the Determination and Reconstruction of a Predicted Image Area - A method determines a predicted image area for an image area, in which a temporal predictor for the image area is determined based on a reconstructed image that precedes said image, a local predictor for the image area is determined within a reconstructed image area of the image, a margin of error between the image area and the image area predicted image area is determined by the local predictor using the reconstructed image area and by the temporal predictor using one of the preceding images. A predicted image area can be reconstructed. Also disclosed are an establishing device for carrying out the method for determining a predicted image area as well as a reconstructing device for carrying out the reconstruction method. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100030861 | METHOD AND TRANSMITTER FOR PRODUCING A DATA STREAM, METHOD AND RECEIVER FOR CALLING AT LEAST ONE DATA SEGMENT IN A DATA STREAM - A method produces a data stream. The data stream is subdivided into at least one data segment. A key which is associated unambiguously with that data segment is created. A node is selected from a set of nodes in a network for that data segment on the basis of the key associated with that data segment, and the data segment is transmitted to the node selected for that data segment. Furthermore, a method calls at least one data segment in a data stream by a receiver node. A key which is associated unambiguously with that data segment is produced. A node is selected from a set of nodes in the network for the data segment on the basis of the key associated with that data segment. A request message is sent to the selected node to transmit the data segment associated with the key, and the data segment is received by the receiver. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100098077 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISTRIBUTING A DATA SEGMENT OF A DATA STREAM TO A GROUP OF A PLURALITY USERS - A status message is sent by each node a group of nodes in a network to other nodes in the group using a multicast and/or broadcast channel of the network to identify the nodes in the group. The status message includes a piece of information about a data segment to be received by the nodes in the group via the multicast and/or broadcast channel. At least one of the nodes in the group requests the data segment via a point-to-point transmission channel from a source node. The data segment is sent to the other node(s) in the group via the multicast and/or broadcast channel. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100269159 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN AUDIO AND/OR VIDEOCONFERENCE WITH AT LEAST TWO PARTICIPANTS - The embodiments relate to a method for operating an audio and/or videoconference having at least two participants. A central computer, which controls the audio and/or videoconference, ascertains an identification datum of the participant initiating the conference. The central computer ascertains, on the basis of the identification datum from at least one database, which is coupled to the central computer, contact data of potential participants of the conference, the contact data being associated with the user. The contact data ascertained by the central computer are provided to the user initiating the conference as further conference participants for selection. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110149075 | DEVICES AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA PACKETS OF A DATA STREAM AND USE OF SAID DEVICES - The invention relates to a device and to a method for processing data packets of a data stream, in which the received data packets are processed in real-time by a first unit and only data packets that are received error-free are processed by a second unit. Data packets that are faulty or not received are requested repeatedly and routed to the second unit upon error-free receipt. A data sink initially receives only the data packets processed by the first unit. Once the second unit and first unit are processing identical data packets nearly simultaneously, only the data packets processed by the second unit are routed to the data sink. The invention can be used advantageously in video coding, for example with a video-on-demand service or image analysis within the framework of a surveillance system. | 06-23-2011 |
