Patent number: 9826016Abstract: A method and system for enabling a plurality of adaptive streaming client devices to share network resources includes a network node monitoring chunk request messages of client devices configured to select a quality level of a chunk from a plurality of quality levels and to request a media server for transmission of a chunk of the selected quality level. The quality level in a monitored chunk request message of a client device is used to estimate local quality information associated with the quality performance of the client device. Global quality information, determined based on the estimated local quality information associated with the client devices, and being indicative of the global quality performance of the client devices, is sent to the client devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignees: KONINKLIJKE KPN N.V., IMEC VZW, GHENT UNIVERSITYInventors: Stefano Petrangeli, Jeroen Famaey, Steven Latré

Publication number: 20130035494Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparation of ruthenium-based carbene catalysts with chelating alkylidene ligands (so-called “Hoveyda-type catalysts”) in a cross metathesis reaction by reacting a ruthenium-alkylidene complex with an olefin derivate in the presence of a polymer-supported cation-exchange resin (PSR) acting as a ligand (i.e. phosphine or amine) scavenger. Preferably, penta-coordinated ruthenium benzylidene or indenylidene carbene complexes are employed. The polymer-supported cation-exchange resin (PSR) may be an acidic resin (comprising sulfonic acid or carboxylic groups) or a resin containing carboxylic acid chloride (—COCl) groups or sulfonyl chloride (—SO2Cl) groups. The process is versatile and environmentally friendly; high yields are obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2011Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicants: GHENT UNIVERSITY, UMICORE AG & CO.

Publication number: 20120076378Abstract: A method for correcting a relaxation map of an object scanned with a magnetic resonance imaging modality the object having a plurality of structure and/or tissue types. The method includes deriving a first relaxation map of a scanned object from at least two three-dimensional scans of the object acquired using a sequence of ultrashort echo time pulses adapted for distinguishing between the various types of a plurality of structure and/or tissue types of the object. Information is obtained on the type of structure and/or tissue type present in voxels in the first relaxation map and binarizing the obtained information. A corrected relaxation map is generated by combining the binarized information with the first relaxation map.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2010Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicants: GHENT UNIVERSITY, IBBT VZWInventors: Vincent Keereman, Stefaan Vandenberghe, Yves De Deene

Publication number: 20070256506Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure probe for characterizing the pressure and/or differential pressure in a fluid, and all derivatives, like for instance, flow rate. The device comprises a front side adapted for facing an upstream direction of the fluid flow, a bulbous part adapted for creating a region of low pressure, also called wake, and a flow detachment means. The front side allows creation of a region of high pressure. It has a planar shape or the shape of a recess. The device thus allows to be substantially flow angle independent, to be Reynolds number independent in a wide range of flow velocities and to obtain a large differential pressure gain.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2005Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: Ghent UniversityInventor: Bart Sette
