  • Publication number: 20130262502
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system that provide a continuous querying mechanism that analyses real-time data streams to generate relevant results. It leverages data grid and event processing technology to provide a high performance and extremely scalable continuous querying solution. An embodiment of the invention provides a flexible querying language and data storage to allow users to register their interest in specific types of data, e.g. processes. The users are notified of matching results using an event-based mechanism. In order to efficiently analyse a large amount of data, the embodiment uses a grid infrastructure that allows storage of the data across many grid nodes and distributes the query execution workload, avoiding the bottleneck represented by constantly querying a database. Continuous queries are stored in a Continuous Query Registry and that Registry is invoked every time an insert or update event occurs on the triple store.

  • Publication number: 20130259315
    Abstract: Methods for generating stereoscopic views from monoscopic endoscope images and systems using the same are provided. First, monoscopic images are obtained by capturing images of organs in an operating field via an endoscope. A back-ground depth map of the operating field is obtained for each image. An instrument depth map corresponding to an instrument is obtained for each image, wherein the instrument is inserted in a patient's body cavity. The background depth maps and the instrument depth maps are merged to generate an integrated depth map for each image. Stereoscopic views are generated according to the monoscopic images and the integrated depth maps.

  • Publication number: 20130260759
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for handover in vehicular communications and On-Board Equipment (OBE) using the same. In the method for handover in vehicular communications, OBE performs a handover from first Road-Side Equipment (RSE) to second RSE. The OBE receives beacon frames from the first RSE and the second RSE. The first average value of a received signal strength indication corresponding to the beacon frame received from the first RSE and the second average value of a received signal strength indication corresponding to the beacon frame received from the second RSE are calculated. The first cumulative gradient of the first average value and the second cumulative gradient of the second average value are calculated. The handover from the first RSE to the second RSE is performed based on the first average value, the second average value, the first gradient, and the second gradient.

  • Publication number: 20130260810
    Abstract: In order to re-establish a suspended RRC connection, the mobile device (101) in one example sends a connection re-establishment request message to the RAN (102) to have the suspended RRC connection re-established. The RAN node may need to attempt to retrieve the RRC connection data (either from memory or if from another network element if stored elsewhere/if the RRC connection was suspended by another RAN node) and verifies whether the RRC connection is valid. When verified, the mobile device (101) receives, in response to the message, a connection re-establishment command message from the RAN (102). In response to the message, the mobile device (101) re-establishes the RRC connection with the RAN (102), using the stored RRC connection information, and sends a connection re-establishment complete message to the RAN (102). The mobile device (101) and RAN (102) may then resume user plane data communication with each other.
