    Abstract: The invention relates to data processing for sound playing on a sound playing device (DIS), headset or ear bud type, portable by a user in an environment (ENV). The device comprises at least one speaker (HP), at least one microphone (MIC), and a connection to a processing circuit comprising: An input interface (IN) for receiving signals coming at least from the microphone; A processing unit (PROC, MEM) for reading at least one audio content to play on the speaker; and An output interface (OUT) for delivering at least the audio signals to be played by the speaker. The processing unit is arranged for: a) Analyzing the signals coming from the microphone for identifying sounds coming from the environment and corresponding to predetermined classes of target sounds; b) Selecting at least one identified sound, according to a user preference criterion; and c) Building said audio signals to be played by the speaker, by a selected mixing of the audio content and the selected sound.

    Abstract: The present invention proposes a method and associated device for inserting tuples into a watermarked database without having to remove the watermarking from all or a part of the database before inserting each tuple. To achieve this, the invention consists of storing, in watermarking metadata, the type of group or class wherein the tuples of the database have been distributed during the watermarking of the database. For each type of group or class, a rule defining a modification of the value of at least one property on which the watermarking is carried is also stored in the watermarking metadata, depending on an insertion force parameter. Each tuple to be inserted is watermarked by applying the modification rule according to the group to which the tuple belongs. Due to the rule used, the insertion of the watermarked tuple does not modify the type of group it belongs to.

    Abstract: Systems and associated methods of performing coherent optical communication of quantum information between an emitter A and a distant receiver B are provided, using a local local oscillator. Examples of LLO-based Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution are described. Self-coherent schemes are used, the schemes consisting in deriving both signal and phase reference pulses from the same optical pulse thus ensuring an intrinsic strong signal to reference phase coherence. Different CV-QKD designs implementing various self-coherence phase sharing schemes are described and compared in terms of secret key rate and hardware requirements. Strong phase noise resilience can be obtained with standard telecom equipment such as low cost lasers.

    Abstract: An exemplary decoder is provided for decoding a signal received through a transmission channel in a communication system. The exemplary decoder comprises a transformation unit configured to determine a set of auxiliary channel matrices, each auxiliary channel matrix being determined by performing a linear combination of at least one of the column vectors of the channel matrix; a decomposition unit configured to determine a decomposition of each auxiliary channel matrix into an upper triangular matrix and an orthogonal matrix; a matrix selection unit configured to select at least one auxiliary channel matrix among the set of auxiliary channel matrices depending on a selection criterion related to the components of the upper triangular matrices. The decoder determines at least one estimate of vector of information symbols from an auxiliary signal and from the upper triangular matrix corresponding to a selected auxiliary channel matrix by applying a decoding algorithm.

    Abstract: A method for processing a digital image for rendering on a display. The image includes image elements associated with color information represented in a colorimetric space having a luminance and chrominance components. The luminance component has a value in a first predetermined interval. The display can render values of luminance components included in a second predetermined interval, of greater length than the first interval. The method includes: determining information representative of image brightness perceived by an observer, based on the values of the first luminance component; calculating an expansion exponent as a function of the determined brightness information; transforming the first luminance components into second luminance components, including calculating an intermediate luminance value by applying the calculated expansion exponent to the first luminance component value and multiplying the intermediate value by the length of the second interval. The expansion exponent is a decreasing function of the determined brightness information.
