20080298464 | Process and Arrangement for Encoding Video Pictures - Today's video codecs require the intelligent choice between many coding options. This choice can efficiently be done using Lagrangian coder control. But Lagrangian coder control only provides results given a particular Lagrange parameter, which correspond to some unknown transmission rate. On the other hand, rate control algorithms provide coding results at a given bitrate but without the optimization performance of Lagrangian coder control. The combination of rate control and Lagrangian optimization for hybrid video coding is investigated. A new approach is suggested to incorporate these two known methods into the video coder control using macroblock mode decision and quantizer adaptation. The rate-distortion performance of the proposed approach is validated and analyzed via experimental results. It is shown that for most bit-rates the combined rate control and Lagrangian optimization producing a constant number of bits per picture achieves similar rate distortion performance as the constant slope case only using Lagrangian optimization. | 12-04-2008 |

20140241433 | MULTI-VIEW CODING WITH EFFECTIVE HANDLING OF RENDERABLE PORTIONS - A proposed intermediate way of handling the renderable portion of the first view results in more efficient coding. Instead of omitting the coding of the renderable portion completely, even more efficient coding of multi-view signals entails merely suppressing the coding of the residual signal within the renderable portion, whereas the prediction parameter coding still takes place from the non-renderable portion of the multi-view signal across the renderable portion so that prediction parameters for the renderable portion may be exploited for predicting parameters for the non-renderable portion. The additional coding rate for transmitting the prediction parameters for the renderable portion may be kept low as this merely aims at forming a continuation of the parameter history across the renderable portion to serve as a basis for prediction parameters of other portions of the multi-view signal. Expressed differently, the prediction parameters for the renderable portion need not perfectly predict the texture within the renderable portion of the first view to keep the residual signal within the renderable portion low. | 08-28-2014 |

The method further includes establishing the on-period based on a comparison of an on-time signal with an off-threshold, calculating the off-threshold based on an output signal of the switched-mode power converter and a compensation offset, and calculating the compensation offset in one drive cycle based on an estimated delay time, wherein the estimated delay time is calculated based on a measured delay time and an estimated delay time of a previous drive cycle. | 08-27-2015 |
20150280576 | System and Method for a Switched Mode Power Supply - In accordance with an embodiment, a method of controlling a switched-mode power supply includes demagnetizing a secondary winding of a transformer, monitoring an ending condition of the demagnetizing, tracking an elapsed time until the ending condition is detected based on the monitoring, and shutting down the switched-mode power supply when the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 10-01-2015 |
20150311803 | ENHANCED POWER FACTOR CORRECTION - A power converter is described that includes a switch. The power converter may also include a controller that controls the switch. The controller may be configured to ascertain a first parameter. Additionally, the controller may be configured to ascertain a second parameter. The controller may dynamically modulate duty cycle of the switch based on the first parameter and the second parameter in addition and independent of the control loop. | 10-29-2015 |

20120140930 | Method for Driving Loudspeakers - A circuit for operating loudspeakers includes a first, second, third and fourth loudspeaker circuit, having one input each for injecting a signal and one output each for connecting a loudspeaker input. The loudspeaker circuits are designed to amplify the injected signal and to provide the amplified signal at the outputs thereof. The loudspeaker circuits can, for example, be used for a 2.1 sound system. The three channels for a 2.1 sound system can be implemented by an amplifier circuit with four loudspeaker circuits, one loudspeaker circuit each being required for the two stereo channels left and right. A subwoofer channel can be driven differentially by two loudspeaker circuits. The stereo channels are, by contrast, only still connected to one loudspeaker circuit each, and so the stereo channels require at least one further common ground cable. | 06-07-2012 |

20090037764 | MEMORY-MODULE CONTROLLER, MEMORY CONTROLLER AND CORRESPONDING MEMORY ARRANGEMENT, AND ALSO METHOD FOR ERROR CORRECTION - A memory arrangement comprises a first memory module and a second memory module. An item of information to be written to the memory arrangement is written with a first address both to the first memory module and to the second memory module. When reading, the item of information is read either from the first memory module by means of the first address or from the second memory module by means of a second address differing from the first address. Subsequently a check is made as to whether the item of information is defective. If this is the case, the item of information is read from the respective other memory module. | 02-05-2009 |
