  • Publication number: 20240106997
    Abstract: Embodiments are described which exploit a finding, according to which a higher compression rate or better rate/distortion ratio may be achieved by adopting or predicting second coding parameters used for encoding a second view of the multi-view signal from first coding parameters used in encoding a first view of the multi-view signal. In other words, the inventors found out that the redundancies between views of a multi-view signal are not restricted to the views themselves, such as the video information thereof, but that the coding parameters in parallelly encoding these views show similarities which may be exploited in order to further improve the coding rate.

  • Patent number: 9528393
    Abstract: The method for removing an inner casing from a machine such as a turbine or compressor includes providing supports between the outer casing and the inner casing of the machine, removing a top part of the outer casing, then removing a top part of the inner casing, then connecting a ring sector to a bottom part of the inner casing to replace the removed top part of the inner casing, then rotating the reciprocally connected ring sector and bottom part of the inner casing around the longitudinal axis to make the bottom part of the inner casing accessible, then removing the bottom part of the inner casing, guiding the reciprocally connected ring sector and bottom part of the inner casing during rotation, to prevent movement along the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 9162329
    Abstract: The method for removing an inner casing from a machine includes removing a top part of the outer casing, removing a top part of the inner casing, removing the bottom part of the inner casing, before removing the bottom part of the inner casing connecting the bottom part of the inner casing to the rotor, such that the bottom part of the inner casing is supported by the rotor, then rotating the rotor around the longitudinal axis to make the bottom part of the inner casing accessible.

  • Publication number: 20150267563
    Abstract: A tool for installing or uninstalling a segment of an inner housing of a turbomachine. The turbomachine includes an outer housing, at least partially surrounding an inner housing and a rotor, concentrically arranged within the inner housing. The rotor is equipped with a number of rotor grooves. The inner housing is divided at an essentially horizontal split plane into an upper segment and a lower segment. The tool includes a first portion insertable into any of the rotor grooves, and furthermore includes a second portion disposed at a distance from the first portion. This second portion is connectable to the lower segment of the inner housing.

  • Publication number: 20120148051
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating an identifier for identifying a pair, wherein the pair comprises a cryptographic device (100) and a computer system (1, 2, . . . , i, . . . I), wherein the cryptographic device has a first secret key (102), wherein a second secret key (118.i) is associated with the computer system, wherein a blocking system (120) for accessing the second secret key of the computer system is provided, wherein the blocking system has a third secret key (126), and wherein the following steps are carried out for generating the identifier: Generating a second public key (116.i) from the second secret key and a third public key (128) associated with the third secret key by means of the blocking system, Transmitting the second public key (116.i) to the computer system (i), and Generating the identifier from the first secret key and the second public key, using the cryptographic device.
