Abstract: A method for deriving a procedure for querying data. The method includes defining a set of input parameters, defining a condition which the set of input parameters have to fulfil, analysing dependencies between input parameters of the set, creating a query structure for querying the data, based upon the analysed dependencies, and using the created query structure for querying the data. Furthermore, when the input parameters are independent, the created query structure is a single-phase query structure and when the input parameters are dependent, the created query structure is a multi-phase query structure.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a material, based on fibrillar, elongated, or disk-like colloidal particles, that has a high scattering efficiency, a method that is suitable for preparing such a material, and the use of such a material. The material can be used as, or as a part of, a pigment, paint or protective coating in various industries, but due to its high scattering, and due to the fact that the material appears white even as a thin membrane, it is an interesting option also in the paper and pulp, cosmetic and medical industries.

Abstract: Disclosed is a base station including at least one baseband processing unit, a front-haul network and at least one remote radio unit. The base station further includes an adaptation unit configured to control transmission data packets between the baseband processing unit and at least one remote radio unit. The adaptation unit includes a buffer module and a communication module that is configured to determine if the buffer module includes at least one data packet to be transmitted at a scheduled instant of time, and in response to a detection that the at least one data packet is missing the communication module inserts padding data to the buffer module. The invention also relates to a method thereto.

Abstract: Method for spatial filtering of at least one sound signal (M0; W(n)) includes the steps of: generation of a first, a second and a third captured sound signal by capturing of the respective sound signals by microphones characterized by directivity patterns of different orders; performing a short-time Fourier transformation of the captured, sound signal s; measuring a cross-pattern correlation or a cross-pattern coherence towards a desired direction ([phi]); calculation of a gain factor (G+) using a cross-pattern correlation based on time-averaged correlation or coherence between the first captured sound signal and the second captured sound signal; and applying the gain factor (G+) to the corresponding time-frequency positions in the third captured sound, signal (2.3; M0; W(n)). Independent patent claims also for a system and computer readable storage medium.

Abstract: A method (100) for decreasing an excess carrier induced degradation in a silicon substrate, includes providing (120, 130) a charged insulation layer capable of retaining charge on the silicon substrate for generating a potential difference between the charged insulation layer and the silicon substrate, and heat treating (140) the silicon substrate for enabling an impurity causing the excess carrier induced degradation and being in the silicon substrate to diffuse due to the potential difference into a boundary of the silicon substrate and the insulation layer.

Abstract: The present invention introduces a detector that is able to detect single microwave photons propagating in a waveguide. The waveguide of the invention is lowered to a temperature where it becomes superconductive. Disposed between a middle wire and a ground plane of the waveguide is a very small piece of a desired normal metal, whereby so-called SN contacts are formed between these materials. A separate reflection measurement circuit is coupled to the normal metal piece. When the impedance of the waveguide is matched to the impedance of the normal metal piece as well as possible, a photon propagating in the waveguide is most likely absorbed in the normal metal. The absorption slightly raises the temperature of the piece, which further changes the impedance observed in a so-called SIN junction between the reflection measurement circuit and the piece.

Abstract: A method for controlling the aggregate interference of a secondary system (10) in a cognitive radio network comprises the steps of computing the power density (Pd,i), footprint (Afoot,i) and service area (Ai) for each of the cells (100) of the secondary system (10) that satisfy the interference constraint at a given point (P) in a primary system (50); summing the power densities (Pd,i) for all cells (100) for the point (P); and using the sum of the power density at the point (P) to decide which power level a new secondary system (10) user is allowed to use in a given cell (100). A system for performing such a method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques for analyzing a musical performance of a sequence of events. The events have parameters, such as timing, pitch and dynamics. A processor inputs (1-2) the performance; accesses (1-4) a standard performance of the musical piece; identifies (1-6) and compares (1-8) mutually corresponding events and determines (1-10) one of a set of classes: correct”, “low” or “high”. A current marker is displayed on an area of a display. The marker's position depends on the classification and the position of the previous marker, whereby trends and changes in performance accuracy are easily detected during performance.

Abstract: A method is for a pattern discovery and recognition, wherein a first sequence comprising first sequence symbols relating to a concept and a tag associated to the first sequence are received, transition probability matrices are obtained from transition frequency matrices representing the frequency data of the occurrences of the transitions between the first sequence symbols at different distances in the first sequence, and the transition probability matrices for each tag and each distance are learnt for obtaining an activation function determining the concept occurring in a second sequence. A computer program product and an apparatus are for executing the pattern discovery and recognition method.
