摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for disaggregation of energy consumption in a power distribution system. The basic idea is to look at the overall energy consumption and recognize the contributions of each single electrical device (120), e.g. for the purposes of providing a breakdown of energy consumption to users. Disaggregation is assisted by usage of multi-modal system data coming from various external data sources (106-1 to 106-n), such as building management systems and/or IT infrastructure, to relate activities of people or devices to changes in power consumption.

A head tracking system that determines a rotation angle of a head of a user with respect to a reference direction, dependent on a movement of a user including changes of place, position, and/or posture. The head tracking system includes a sensing device for measuring a head movement to provide a measure representing the head movement, and a processing circuit for deriving the rotation angle of the head of the user with respect to the reference direction from the measure. The reference direction is dependent on the movement of the user.

The invention relates to a device (10) and a method for disaggregating a periodic input signal pattern (20), the input signal pattern (20) resulting from a superposition of element signal patterns corresponding to respective source elements. The invention further relates to a corresponding computer program. The input signal pattern (20) is processed and outputted. The processed signal pattern (22) is indicative of a change between portions of the input signal pattern (20), wherein such portion corresponds to at least a part of the period of the input signal pattern (20). Based on element information characterizing the element signal patterns and the processed signal pattern (22), a combination (24) of element signal patterns is identified, the superposition of which results in the input signal pattern (20).
摘要:
A head tracking system (400) is proposed in the present invention that determines a rotation angle (300) of a head (100b) of a user (100) with respect to a reference direction (310), which is dependent on a movement of a user (100). Here the movement of a user should be understood as an act or process of moving including e.g. changes of place, position, or posture, such as e.g. lying down or sitting in a relaxation chair. The head tracking system according to the invention comprises a sensing device (410) for measuring a head movement to provide a measure (401) representing the head movement, and a processing circuit (420) for deriving the rotation angle of the head of the user with respect to the reference direction from the measure. The reference direction (310) used in the processing circuit (420) is dependent on the movement of the user. The advantage of making the reference direction (310) dependent on a movement of a user is that determining the rotation angle (300) of the head (100b) is independent of the environment, i.e. not fixed to environment. Hence whenever the user (100) is e.g. on the move and his body parts undergo movement the reference direction is adapted to this movement.

Data indicative of membership of at least one of a plurality of content classes is made available for each one of a collection of content items. A method of selecting at least one item includes displaying a representation of sections (16) of a geo-metrical construct (15) occupying an at least one-dimensional space. The geometrical construct (15) is partitioned into sections (16) in accordance with a mapping between the at least one-dimensional space and a domain of the data indicative of class membership, such that each section (16) represents a class. A signal defining a sub-space within the space is received, and the mapping is used to effect a selection of at least one item of content data commensurate with the defined sub-space.

A stereo audio decoder with low complexity is provided. A high stereo sound quality can be obtained with a limited computational power and is thus suitable for miniature and mobile equipment. The stereo decoder generates a set of stereo output channels (C1, C2) in response to a parametric audio input including signal parameters (S1) and stereo related parameters (X1). A parameter processor (M) generates two different set of parameters (P1, P2) based on the input signal parameters (S1) thus up-mixing the signal parameters (S1) by altering or manipulating the signal parameters (S1) corresponding to the stereo related parameters (X1). The two different parameters (P1, P2) are finally synthesized by separate signalsynthesizers (SS1, SS2) to form respective stereo output channels (C1, C2). Since the stereo decoding can be performed in the parameter domain instead of the spectral domain, the required computational burden is reduced compared to what is known in prior art. Preferably the signalsynthesizers (SS1, SS2) are sinusoidal synthesizers, and preferably the decoder also includes transient and noise synthesizers to generate transient and noise signal portions to be applied to the stereo output channels (C1, C2). Further, different transient and noise signal portions to the output channels (C1, C2) may be provided by applying different gains based on the stereorelated parameter (X1). In preferred embodiments the two parameters (P1, P2) are determined from a current as well as a previous signal parameter input, e.g. by means of an input delay line.

An audio encoding scheme or a stream that encodes audio and video data is disclosed. The scheme has particular application in mezzanine-level coding in digital television broadcasting. The scheme has a mean effective audio frame length F that equals the video frame length 1/fV over an integral number M video frames, by provision of audio frames variable in length F in a defined sequence where length=F(j) at encoding. The length of the audio frames may be varied by altering the length of overlap between adjacent frames in accordance with an algorithm that repeats after a sequence of M frames. An encoder and a decoder for such a scheme are also disclosed.

A stereo audio decoder generates a set of stereo output channels in response to a parametric audio input including signal parameters and stereo related parameters. A parameter processor generates two different set of parameters based on the input signal parameters thus up-mixing the signal parameters by altering or manipulating the signal parameters corresponding to the stereo related parameters. The two different parameters are synthesized by separate signal synthesizers to form respective stereo output channels. The signal synthesizers may be sinusoidal synthesizers, and the decoder also includes transient and noise synthesizers to generate transient and noise signal portions to be applied to the stereo output channels. Further, different transient and noise signal portions to the output channels may be provided by applying different gains based on the stereo related parameter. The two different parameters may be determined from current and previous signal parameter inputs using an input delay line.
