    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a device for storing audio/video data in a home network. They allow addition of storage possibilities to apparatuses of the set-top box type which do not have or cannot develop them so as to extend the functionality of the apparatus without a software update, dependent on connections/disconnections of peripheral storage equipment. To this end, the invention provides a virtual management of the storage possibilities within one and the same apparatus. An abstraction layer is realized above the physical storage support by software storage means co-operating with control means so as to hide details on the used peripheral storage unit or units from the application. For an application requiring storage of audio/video data, the operation is transparent. The peripheral storage units are detected when they are “hot”, dependent on their connection/disconnection, and are taken into account by the control means at the level of the available storage capacity. The application conducts a dialogue only with a single interface for its storage needs, while the control means co-operate with the software storage means for managing the transfer of data to and from the different peripheral storage units.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a lighting device including at least a light source (LS) for emitting light rays and means for guiding said light rays on a projection plane (PP). The guiding means are formed by a lens (OD) presenting a cylindrical portion (CYL) extending along an axis (AX) perpendicular to said projection plane and at least a convex shaped surface (CSH) extending at an extremity of said cylindrical portion. The convex shaped surface is adapted to direct a portion of the light rays emitted from said light source towards said projection plane. The invention enables to project the light towards a projection plane quasi parallel to the beam direction without using any guiding means on the projection plane itself. This solution is consequently relatively compact.

    摘要: A system (1) is described which is suited for suppressing audio distortion. The system comprises echo cancelling means g1, g2 coupled between an audio output (4) and a distorted desired audio sensing microphone array (3), and a filter arrangement (7) coupled to the echo cancelling means g1, g2 and/or the microphone array (3). The filter arrangement (7) includes filter coefficients representing at least a part of the audio distortion, such as reverberation. The system also comprises an at least partly mirrored circuit arrangement g′, 7′ for copying thereby simulated audio distortion representative filter coefficient values into the filter coefficients of said filter arrangement (7). Such copied values can be then used for suppressing reverberation in a distorted desired signal by the filter arrangement (7).

    摘要: All of LEDs 12a-12d are switched on in a case of illuminating a main display 21 mainly. Thus, each LED 12a-12d has a lighting region 22a-22d respectively, thereby illuminating the main display 21 entirely. Central LEDs 12b, 12c in LEDs 12a-12d are switched on in a case of illuminating a sub-display mainly. Thus, each LEDs 12b, 12c has a lighting region 22b, 22c respectively, thereby illuminating the sub-display 21b.
