Abstract: A WLAN router connected via a cellular network (e.g. LTE) to the Internet is disclosed; a plurality of SIMs (subscriptions), each associated with a user of the router, may be plugged into the router (or soft SIMs used); simultaneous Internet access for a plurality of users is achieved, even if the WLAN router does only have one TX/RX equipment, by the following features: the WLAN router—when receiving a portion of network traffic for a user—determines the subscription that the portion is associated with and updates a data usage quota for the subscription accordingly by an amount of data corresponding to said portion; thereafter, it is decided whether future network traffic for that subscription shall be transmitted over the same network connection or another subscription's network connection based on the updated data usage quota; thus, the router carries out load balancing between the subscriptions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimation of interframe motion fields operating on a stream of video frames, and more particularly for accelerating video output in multiframe super-resolution thus improving the efficiency of the multiframe integration. Relative motion field estimation is used between neighboring or close images instead of with respect to a reference image, for at least some of the frames within an integration window (TOI). The integration window is slid along the time axis each time by one (or two or a few) frames so that the current integration window preferably covers the majority of the frames in the previous integration window. Using relative motion estimation and then (tracking and) summing up the related motion fields enables, in each recursion, the absolute motion fields in a new integration window to be obtained without re-computing all the motion fields of earlier frames in the new integration window.

Abstract: A dataflow program defining actors that pass tokens from one to another via connections is processed by causing one or more processors to access and execute instructions of the dataflow program. As instructions of the dataflow program are being executed, a first set of trace records is created that represents a sequence of events (e.g., token production/consumption, actor state change, or action firing). A first subset of the trace records is displayed and one of these is selected. The first set is processed to identify, based on definitions specified by the dataflow program, a second set of trace records, of which a subset is displayed.

Abstract: Teachings herein compose a digital image so that the image is perceptible on a viewing surface, such as a projection surface or a transparent screen. In doing so, the teachings advantageously recognize a digital image as consisting of one or more logical objects, like buttons of a user interface. Often, logical objects may be spatially arranged within the image and/or colored in different possible ways without substantially affecting the meaning conveyed by the image. Exploiting this, teachings herein evaluate light reflected from, or transmitted through, the viewing surface, and compose the digital image from one or more logical objects that have a spatial arrangement or coloration determined in dependence on that evaluation. The teachings might, for example, place a logical object within the image so that it will be displayed on a region of the surface which has high contrast with the object's colors and/or low color variance.

Abstract: A dataflow source program is processed by a program development tool. Processing includes retrieving stored dataflow source program instructions from a memory. The tool ascertains a target model of computation (e.g., via an indicator embedded within the source program itself) to which the retrieved dataflow source program instructions are intended to conform. A dynamic behavior of the retrieved dataflow source program instructions is analyzed, and a compliance result is produced therefrom that includes an indication of whether the retrieved dataflow source program instructions conform to the target model of computation. The compliance result is then output to a user of the program development tool, so that it can inform and guide the improvement and further development of the program.

Abstract: A dataflow program defining actors that pass tokens from one to another via connections is processed by causing one or more processors to access and execute instructions of the dataflow program. Execution of the dataflow program generates events (e.g., token production/consumption, actor state after actor action firing). For each generated event, processing evaluates whether there exists a sequence of events that matches a breakpoint condition, and if such a sequence exists then execution of the dataflow program is halted. The breakpoint condition is at least partially based on an extended history of related events, wherein two events are related to one another if they pertain to a same connection or if they pertain to a same actor state, and wherein the extended history comprises at least two related events.

Abstract: Teachings herein prepare a digital image for display on a substantially transparent screen. The teachings advantageously recognize that the perceptibility of the digital image on the screen will often depend on what is visible to a user through the screen, since that will effectively serve as the background of the screen. A method of preparing a digital image thus includes dynamically calculating which part of an environmental background is visible to a user through the screen and thereby serves as an effective background of the screen. This calculation may entail obtaining an image of the environmental background and identifying which part of that image serves as the effective background (e.g., based on the angle at which the user views the screen). The method further includes composing the digital image for perceptibility as viewed against that effective background and outputting the composed image as digital data for display on the screen.
