Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to provides a method of encoding/decoding attribute of orthogonally projected 3D samples and in-between 3D samples in which an information indicates whether at least one first attribute patch of 2D samples obtained by encoding the attribute of said at least one orthogonally projected 3D samples according to a first attribute coding mode, and at least one second attribute patch of 2D samples of an image obtained by encoding the attribute of at least one in-between 3D sample, are stored in separate images.

Abstract: Methods and materials for treating a mammal having a congenital disease (e.g., a congenital heart disease such as congenital long QT syndrome) are provided herein. For example, this document provides methods and materials for generating and using nucleic acids to treat a mammal having a congenital disease, where the nucleic acids can suppress expression of mutant disease-related alleles in the mammal while providing a replacement cDNA that does not contain the disease-related mutation(s).

Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to a method for adding at least one 3D sample to a point cloud frame and for assigning a color-coding mode to said at least one 3D sample, said color-coding mode indicating if color information associated with said at least one 3D sample is explicitly encoded in a bitstream or if said color information is implicit.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a method and device. The method comprises obtaining at least one first point from at least one point of a point cloud by projecting said point of the point cloud onto a projection plane and obtaining at least one other point of the point cloud determined according to said at least one first point; determining and encoding at least one interpolation coding mode for said at least one first point based on at least one reconstructed point obtained from said at least one first point and at least one interpolation point defined by said at least one interpolation coding mode to approximate said at least one other point of the point cloud; and signaling said at least interpolation coding mode as values of image data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for estimating cast shadow regions and highlight regions in a scene, said scene being represented by a low dynamic range image, called LDR image, and a high dynamic range, called HDR image, said method comprising the steps of: —computing (S1) a detail map, called LDR detail map, of the LDR image, said LDR detail map associating a detail level to each pixel of the LDR image, —computing (S2) a detail map, called HDR detail map, of the HDR image, said HDR detail map associating a detail level to each pixel of the HDR image, and —detecting (S3) regions of the scene where the detail level in the HDR detail map is greater than the detail level in the LDR detail map, said detected regions corresponding to cast shadow regions or highlights region of the scene.

Abstract: The present invention describes equipment for activating a multi-user mode between mobile devices arranged within at least one network. The processing equipment includes an interface of communication configured to receive multi-user mode notifications from at least a first and a further mobile devices connected to the processing equipment. A multi-user mode module is configured to activate a multi-user mode between at least the first and further mobile devices when, the positions of the first and further mobile devices meet a position criterion; or the orientations of the first and further mobile devices meet an orientation criterion.

Abstract: A ventilated mattress pad for supporting an occupant includes a first and second layer of spacer fabric attached with a zipper to a fitted sheet, mattress cover or the mattress providing ventilation of excessive body heat and moisture away from the body and out into the room air. Integration of the ventilated pad to the sheet or mattress pad provides consistent location of the pad under the occupant while minimizing installation, removal time and effort. The ventilated pad is washable and can be re-attached to a new sheet, mattress cover or mattress when the sheet, mattress pad or mattress is worn out or damaged. The pad also reduces the average pressure on the skin surface.
