Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for coding and decoding multi-object audio signals with various channels and providing backward compatibility with a conventional spatial audio coding (SAC) bitstream. The apparatus includes: an audio object coding unit for coding audio-object signals inputted to the coding apparatus based on a spatial cue and creating rendering information for the coded audio-object signals, where the rendering information provides a coding apparatus including spatial cue information for audio-object signals; channel information of the audio-object signals; and identification information of the audio-object signals, and used in coding and decoding of the audio signals.

Provided is a method and apparatus for generating a side information bitstream of a multi-object audio signal. The apparatus for generating a side information bitstream of a multi-object audio signal includes a spatial cue information input unit configured to receive spatial cue information generated in an encoder of the multi-object audio signal, a preset information input unit configured to receive preset information for the multi-object audio signal, and a side information bitstream generator configured to generate the side information bitstream based on the spatial cue information and the preset information. The side information bitstream includes a header region and a frame region, and the preset information is included in the frame region.

The present invention provides a displacement control valve for a variable displacement compressor, the displacement control valve including a valve housing, in which a discharge chamber passage and a crank chamber passage are provided, and a valve body for opening and closing the valve, characterized in that a motor rotates the valve body to open and close the valve. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the overall length of the displacement control valve to reduce the size of the compressor, thereby achieving a compact structure of the compressor.
Abstract:
Provided are a large-scale cluster monitoring system and a method for automatically building/restoring the same, which can automatically build a large-scale monitoring system and can automatically build a monitoring environment when a failure occurs in nodes. The large-scale cluster monitoring system includes a CM server, a BD server, GM nodes, NA nodes, and a DB agent. The CM server manages nodes in a large-scale cluster system. The DB server stores monitoring information that is state information of nodes in groups. The GM nodes respectively collect the monitoring information that is the state information of the nodes in the corresponding groups to store the collected monitoring information in the DB server. The NA nodes access the CM server to obtain GM node information and respectively collect the state information of the nodes in the corresponding groups to transfer the collected state information to the corresponding GM nodes. The DB agent monitors the monitoring information of the nodes in the groups, which is stored in the DB server, to detect a possible node failure.

Disclosed is a phase shifter having a power dividing function. The phase shifter includes: an input port for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal; a power dividing unit for dividing the RF signal into a first divided signal of which phase is to be varied and a second divided signal having a fixed phase value; a first output port for outputting the second divided signal having the fixed phase value; a phase shift unit for dividing the first divided signal into a third divided signal and a fourth divided signal wherein the third divided signal and the fourth divided signal move in opposite directions; a phase delay unit for shifting phase of the third divided signal and the fourth divided signal based on a difference in a path length of the third divided signal and the fourth divided signal, to thereby generate phase-shifted signals; and at least two second output ports connected to the phase delay unit, for outputting the phase-shifted signals.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the method for managing directories of a large-scale file system. The present invention the steps of creating root blocks which have a fixed global depth, calculating an index value which shows the location information on how many bits will be referenced for root blocks from the global depth through a hash function when root blocks are completely filled with directories, calculating the block numbers of leaf blocks consisted of extent blocks based on a plurality fixed length platform which are logical and successive objects using the index value and storing the block numbers sequentially to the root blocks, and storing the directory entries of root blocks separately in leaf blocks.As a result, the present invention can improve the search performance by minimizing the cause of frequently change of data storage structure of the file system and flexibly preventing creation of indirect blocks.
