  • Patent number: 9672652
    Abstract: The invention is related to a method for processing a computer-animated scene, the computer-animated scene being represented with at least an animation graph, at least an animation graph comprising a plurality of nodes connected by paths, the paths being representative of dependencies between the nodes, at least an event being associated with each node, a first information representative of the type of each event being associated with each node. As to optimize the parallelization of the nodes, the method comprises a step of classifying the nodes in at least a first batch and at least a second batch according to the first information associated with each node, at least a first batch comprising nodes to be evaluated in parallel and at least a second batch comprising nodes to be evaluated sequentially.

  • Publication number: 20140333611
    Abstract: A method for visualizing contact between a first object and at least a second object of a virtual scene commences by first associating a first identifier with first pixels associated with the first object and at least a second identifier with second pixels associated with the at least a second object. Thereafter, for at least one first pixel, at least a distance in world space between the at least one first pixel and at least one second pixel located in the neighbourhood of the at least one first pixel, is computed. Then at least a contact between the first object and the at least a second object is visualized if the at least a computed distance remains less than a first threshold distance.

  • Patent number: 8130876
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for receiving a multi-carrier signal of reduced complexity when the number of carriers is not high. The method includes: demodulating the multi-carrier signal; converting a received signal received in binary representation into a modal representation in a base of at least two mutually prime numbers on a finite space of size equal to the product of the mutually prime numbers; demodulating including conversion.

  • Patent number: 8040992
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transmitting time information relating to the clock of the source of a sending part consisting in using a fixed latency indicator signal to authorize the source to insert time information used to slave the clock of the decoder of the associated receiving part to its clock.

  • Patent number: 7953191
    Abstract: The gain control method for the RF and IF amplification stages of a bursty data frame reception system enables, following a step for evaluating the received signal strength, the gain adjustment step of the RF amplification stage to be temporarily deferred until a frame structure symbol is received, during which the gain adjustment step of the IF amplification stage takes place simultaneously with that of the RF gain, while retaining an overall gain linearly dependent on the input signal strength.

  • Patent number: 7436250
    Abstract: The invention proposes a filtering device having a frequency response which is symmetrical, using asymmetrical filters coupled by transposition means. The advantageous characteristics of the asymmetrical filters are retained and the faults associated with the asymmetry are eliminated. The asymmetrical filters are, for example, quartz filters. The invention also proposes an external transmission and reception unit, using the filtering device with the application of the filtering method.

  • Patent number: 7295804
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a system of receiving signals comprising a retransmission base to amplify signals captured at a point in a domestic environment and retransmit them at the same frequency to digital receivers of the said domestic environment. According to the invention, the retransmission base amplifies and retransmits up to N DVB-T channels the positions of which can be anywhere in the receive band and are chosen dynamically by the system users. Means are provided in the system to share the system's amplification resources between the system's various digital receivers.

  • Patent number: 7039371
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transmitting device limiting the out-of-band interferences. The modulation is done with or without inversion of the spectrum. Next, frequency transposition is done in supradyne or infradyne fashion such that the parasitic effects originating from the modulation are always situated in the frequency band allocated for transmission. The invention relates to the transmission method, on the one hand, and to the transmission device, on the other hand.
