Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an EGR system reverse hose diagnostic. In one example, a method includes executing the reverse hose diagnostic in response to an EGR flowrate exceeding a threshold flow rate.

Abstract: Audio video synchronization and alignment or alignment of audio to some other external clock are rendered more effective or easier by treating fragment grid and frame grid as independent values, but, nevertheless, for each fragment the frame grid is aligned to the respective fragment's beginning. A compression effectiveness lost may be kept low when appropriately selecting the fragment size. On the other hand, the alignment of the frame grid with respect to the fragments' beginnings allows for an easy and fragment-synchronized way of handling the fragments in connection with, for example, parallel audio video streaming, bitrate adaptive streaming or the like.

Abstract: Audio splicing is rendered more effective by the use of one or more truncation unit packets inserted into the audio data stream so as to indicate to an audio decoder, for a predetermined access unit, an end portion of an audio frame with which the predetermined access unit is associated, as to be discarded in playout.

Abstract: Concepts are presented herein how to efficiently create a suitable palette for low complexity image and video coding. A combination of the palette coding with transform coding is feasible.

Abstract: Transform block coding is performed very efficiently in terms of computational complexity and compression ratio, by coding the magnitude bits of the transform coefficients distributed in a matrix, in which the magnitude bits of the spectral coefficients are arranged column-wise with the spectral coefficients of the transform block ordered along a row direction of the matrix. That is, magnitude bits within a certain column of the matrix belong to a certain spectral coefficient, while magnitude bits within a certain row of the matrix belong to a certain bit plane. In this configuration, the distribution of non-zero magnitude bits may be condensed towards one corner of the matrix, corresponding to, for instance, the least significant bit plane and corresponding to, by using a scan order among the transform coefficients which sorts the transform coefficients generally in a manner from lowest to highest frequency, the lowest frequency. Various low complexity variants are presented.

Abstract: A coding efficiency improvement is achieved by performing bit-plane coding in a manner so that coefficient groups for which the set of coded bit-planes is predictively signaled in the datastream, are grouped in two group sets and if a signal is spent in the datastream which signals, for a group set, whether the set of coded bit-planes of all coefficient groups of the respective group set are empty, i.e. all coefficients within the respective group sets are insignificant. In accordance with another aspect, a coding efficiency improvement is achieved by providing bit-plane coding with group-set-wise insignificant signalization according to the first aspect as a coding option alternative relative to the signalization for group sets for which it is signaled that there is no coded prediction residual for the coded bit-planes for the claim groups within the respective group set.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle coolant circuit. In one example, the coolant circuit includes a heater core isolation valve (HCIV) where a status of the HCIV may be diagnosed by intrusively activating a positive temperature coefficient heater in a cooling loop in which the HCIV is arranged. A response of coolant temperature to heater activation may be used to determine a position of the HCIV.
