  • Patent number: 9641601
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses (200) for synchronizing a first event (202), having associated therewith a first original event timing value based on a common clock signal, and a second event (204), having associated therewith a second original event timing value based on the common clock signal, wherein the first and the second event (202; 204) experience different delays while travelling through different paths of a distributed computing system (300; 700), and wherein at least one output event (206) is to be determined by an event detector (208) based on the first and the second event (202; 204).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9537937
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a concept for migrating an event detector of a first node (N1) of a distributed computing system (200) to a second node (N2) of the distributed computing system, wherein the event detector processes a plurality of input events (e; A, B, C) to generate at least one output event (D) based on the input events, wherein each of the input events has associated therewith an individual event delay corresponding to a propagation time of the input event to the first node (N1).

  • Patent number: 9384387
    Abstract: Encoder for encoding data defining coded positions representing a trajectory of an object based on spatio-temporal data representing a time series of positions of the object. The encoder comprises a deriver, a selector, and a coder. The deriver is configured for deriving a plurality of components of a motion vector difference between a last coded motion coded vector pointing from a second last coded position to a last coded position and a current motion vector pointing from the last coded position to a current position of the object. The selector is configured for selecting a component of the plurality of components of the motion vector difference. The coder is configured for coding the current motion vector based on the selected component of the motion vector difference to obtain a current coded motion vector, thereby defining a current coded position.
