  • Patent number: 9215265
    Abstract: An extension to a file delivery protocol which permits the signaling of cache control information to a receiving device. Various embodiments of the present invention permit a server or other sending device to signal instructions regarding cache control to a receiving device using the file delivery protocol. This signaling may include information such as whether the receiving device should cache a file, how long the file should be cached for, and/or a cache priority assignment for the file. Various embodiments of the present invention may be particularly useful in the transmission of rich media content, where some content may be sent over RTP while other information is transmitted via the file delivery protocol.

  • Patent number: 9210386
    Abstract: The invention relates to forming an image using binary pixels. Binary pixels are pixels that have only two states, a white state when the pixel is exposed and a black state when the pixel is not exposed. The binary pixels have color filters on top of them, and the setup of color filters may be initially unknown. A setup making use of a statistical approach may be used to determine the color filter setup to produce correct output images. Subsequently, the color filter information may be used with the binary pixel array to produce images from the input images that the binary pixel array records.

  • Patent number: 9210423
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method comprising receiving a set of coefficients; and determining whether a sign of a coefficient in the set of coefficients can be embedded in a bitstream. If the determining indicates that the sign of the coefficient in the set of coefficients can be embedded in the bitstream, an indication of the embedded sign is inserted into the bitstream. There is also disclosed a method comprising receiving a set of decoded coefficients; and determining whether a bitstream contains an indication of an embedded sign of a coefficient. If the determining indicates that the bitstream contains the indication of an embedded sign of a coefficient, the sign is determined on the basis of the decoded coefficients; and the sign of the coefficient is modified on the basis of the determined sign.

  • Patent number: 9210578
    Abstract: Message authentication in an ad-hoc network. Upon creation of a message, a message authentication code is created using a key shared with members of a group comprising a subset of nodes of the ad-hoc network. The message authentication code may be created using a cryptographic process having the message and a message identifier as inputs. After or in parallel with broadcast of the message, a pointer to the message is broadcast. The message authentication code is publicly broadcast and those members of the group among which the key has been shared are able to authenticate the message as coming from a particular sender.
