Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding and decoding 3D scenes of an immersive video are disclosed with the related data stream. Taking advantage of the fact that parts of the 3D scene does not change from one frame of the video to another, even when the cameras move and/or the lighting condition change, dynamic and static parts of the 3D scene are encoded in different atlases. In an embodiment, static patch atlases are repeated between two updates. In another embodiment, only updates are encoded and transmitted. The decoder maintains a memory associating entity of the 3D scene with a set of static patches that is updated with instructions linked to update static patch atlases. At each presentation time the static part of the 3D scene to decode is obtained from the memory.

Abstract: The tire pressure monitoring system repeatedly acquires the internal pressure value of the pneumatic tire and activates the timer when the internal pressure value falls below the warning threshold.

The tire pressure monitoring system newly activates the timer when the internal pressure value exceeds the warning threshold after falling below the warning threshold or the danger threshold in the period until the timer expires.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, an assembly has intermediate pods magnetically, but not galvanically, coupled along an electrically conductive cable. Each pod has a magnetic core surrounding and inductively coupled to the cable and one or more coils inductively coupled to the magnetic core. The pod transmits, for example, outgoing current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using a transmitter coil and the magnetic core. In addition, the pod repeats, for example, incoming current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using the transmitter coil and the magnetic core, based on electrical signals induced in a receiver coil via the magnetic core by the incoming current pulses. Such an assembly can function as a data collection system for scientific research and/or as an early-warning system for events, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, without having to modify the cable itself.
