Patent number: 9503511Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a method for optimizing a multimedia service in a mobile network including a server and a client. The method includes: collecting QoS related information of a channel in the mobile network; collecting or retrieving at least one parameter associated with a usage preference of the mobile network or the client; determining a QMS metric based on the QoS related information and the at least one parameter for the channel periodically; notifying the server a first QMS metric when the difference between a second QMS metric and the first QMS metric exceeds a threshold, wherein the first QMS metric is obtained immediately succeeding the second QMS metric; and receiving a multimedia content in a manner that is determined based on the first QMS metric.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: MANIPAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Shreya Adyanthaya, Manohara Pai M M

Patent number: 9085079Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a marking gauge. In some examples, the marking gauge includes a scribing bar and a marking pin disposed at a fixed location in the scribing bar. A bolt may extend through a stock and the scribing bar. A nut may be in contact with the scribing bar and engaged with the bolt. The nut and the bolt may be effective to fasten the stock to the scribing bar. The scribing bar may include walls defining a longitudinally extending slot and the mortise pin may extend through the longitudinally extending slot. A pointed end of the mortise pin and of the marking pin may be adjustable with respect to the scribing bar.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Manipal UniversityInventor: Raghunath Manohar

Patent number: 8659363Abstract: Techniques are generally described herein related to filters including first operational transconductance amplifier (first OTA) and a second operational transconductance amplifier (second OTA). In some examples described herein, the first OTA and second OTA have substantially the same transconductance. The first and second OTAs can be configured to realize filters such as first-order all-pass filters, second-order all-pass filters, higher-order all-pass filters, and quadrature oscillators.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Manipal UniversityInventors: Dattaguru.

Patent number: 8516837Abstract: A method and system for liquid purification and defrosting a freezing unit harvests energy released as heat from a condenser. Liquid received from a source into a first liquid storage container is heated using heat collected from the condenser using at least one heat conducting rod. A second liquid storage container connected to the first liquid storage container is maintained at a lower temperature than the first liquid storage container. As a first portion of heated liquid is transferred from the first liquid storage container to the second liquid storage container, bacteria in the first portion of heated liquid is denatured as a result of the temperature change, and the liquid is purified. Filters may also be used to improve purification. A second portion of heated liquid is transferred between the first liquid storage container and a freezing unit via at least one heat conducting pipe causing defrosting of the freezing unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Manipal UniversityInventors: Mayank Swarup, Tanvi Gupta
