  • Publication number: 20220239515
    Abstract: A method for controlling data streams of a virtual session with several participants who access at least access one application in the virtual session can include use of a selected media processing and a signaling mode in a centralized process for each participant according to the individual requirements of the participant. The process can be controlled by a server. The selection of the media processing and/or signaling mode can be made on the basis of an evaluation of the terminal of the respective participant and the network bandwidth available to the respective participant. An evaluation scheme with a plurality of evaluation criteria can be provided for the evaluation, and possible media processing and/or signaling modes are ascertained for the respective participant.

  • Patent number: 11223714
    Abstract: A terminal can have at least one audio interface for at least one microphone, at least one audio interface for at least one speaker, an operator control module and at least one interface for connecting to at least one telephony- and/or IP-telephony-compatible terminal. The terminal can be configured as a media hub for the at least one telephony- or IP-telephony-compatible terminal. The terminal can have a media processing unit for mixing and a media hub controller or controlling media streams received by the at least one telephony- or IP-telephony-compatible terminal and the at least one telephony- or IP-telephony-compatible terminal can be operated through the operator control module of the telecommunication terminal. A method for controlling media streams through a media hub controlled integrated into a telecommunication terminal is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150365244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling data streams of a virtual session with several participants who access at least access one application in the virtual session. A selected media processing and a signaling mode is used in a centralized process for each participant according to the individual requirements of the participant. The participants are represented by clients and the process is controlled by a server. The selection of the media processing and/or signaling mode is made on the basis of an evaluation of the terminal of the respective participant and the network bandwidth available to the respective participant. An evaluation scheme with a plurality of evaluation criteria is provided for the evaluation, and possible media processing and/or signaling modes are ascertained for the respective participant, said evaluation scheme being applied to each possible media processing and/or signaling mode.

  • Publication number: 20150051844
    Abstract: A method for determining a condition indicator of an apparatus includes providing an apparatus configured to measure at least two different technical parameters. A respective parameter value is determined for each of the at least two different technical parameters of the apparatus using at least one sensor configured to determine a respective parameter value for each of the at least two different technical parameters. A respective deviation value of each of the parameter values is determined with respect to an associated respective parameter reference value for each of the technical parameters. A respective deviation relevance value is determined from each of the deviation values using a respective parameter-specific deviation relevance function for each of the parameter values, the parameter-specific deviation relevance functions being different from each other. Using an indicator function, a condition indicator is calculated from the determined deviation relevance values.

  • Publication number: 20140026648
    Abstract: A known metering system for automatically maintaining a predefinable concentration of a liquid corrosion inhibitor in the aqueous hydraulic liquid of a water-hydraulic hydraulic system is characterized in that the measuring circuit can be disconnected from the hydraulic system (controllable valves 14, 15), in that the measuring circuit can be short-circuited between the outlet line and the inlet line by means of controllable valves 16, 17 and can be connected to a source (cleaning tank 18) of a cleaning liquid for a cleaning circuit. As a result, a cleaning liquid for cleaning the concentration sensor can be circulated in the measuring circuit for a predefinable time. For the purpose of calibration, the metering system can be charged with a reference liquid with a known inhibitor concentration, in particular water, in particular water from the public supply. Further sensors (23-25) can be connected into the measuring circuit.
