Abstract: Provided are an epitope peptide (or a variant thereof) that can be used for preventing or treating an EBV infection, a recombinant protein containing the epitope peptide (or variant thereof) and a carrier protein, and the use of the epitope peptide (or variant thereof) and the recombinant protein. Further provided are an antibody against the epitope peptide, and the use thereof in the detection, prevention and/or treatment of an EBV infection and/or diseases caused by the infection.

Abstract: Improved lossless entropy coding techniques for coding of image data include selecting a context for entropy coding based on an ordered scan path of possible context locations. A symbol for a current location within a source image may be entropy coded based on a context of prior encoded symbols of other locations within source images, where the context is selected based on an ordered scan path enumerating a series of potential context locations within one or more source images. To select a context, a predetermined number of prior symbols may be selected by qualifying or disqualifying locations in the scan path, and then the current symbol may be encoded with a context based on prior symbols corresponding to the first qualifying context locations in the order of the scan path.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to monitoring a state of a physical passenger transport system. In an aspect, monitoring includes use of an updated digital double dataset that reproduces characterizing properties of components of the physical passenger transport system in an actual configuration of the passenger transport system after assembly and installation thereof in a building, in a machine-processable manner. At least one detection device is arranged in the physical passenger transport system, which detects a load profile which is transmitted to the updated digital double dataset. A set of rules is used to convert the load profile into modified characterizing properties of virtual components. Through the monitoring, changes and change trends on the components are tracked and evaluated using the updated digital double dataset by calculations and/or by static and dynamic simulations.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improved video coding with virtual reference frames. A motion vector for prediction of a pixel block from a reference may be constrained based on the reference. In as aspect, if the reference is a temporally interpolated virtual reference frame with corresponding time close to the time of the current pixel block, the motion vector for prediction may be constrained magnitude and/or precision. In another aspect, a bitstream syntax for encoding the constrained motion vector may also be constrained. In this manner, the techniques proposed herein contribute to improved coding efficiencies.

Abstract: A device location sensing method obtains locations of N devices in a wireless network based on channel state information (CSI). Each device in the wireless network has M antennas arranged in a non-linear manner. To determine the device locations, CSI data mutually detected between every two devices in N devices is obtained and used to calculate an angle difference of arrival (ADoA) set which includes, for every two devices in the N devices relative to each of the other devices in the N devices, an ADoA that is a difference between angles of arrival (AoAs) of the two devices relative to the other device. Relative locations of the N devices are then calculated based on the ADoA set.

Abstract: A skeleton posture determining method and apparatus, and a computer readable storage medium belong to the field of human body posture recognition, where the method includes obtaining a first skeleton posture including location information of a plurality of joints, determining a description parameter of at least one target joint of the joints, obtaining, through screening, a correct joint from the at least one target joint based on the description parameter, and performing fitting based on location information of the correct joint to obtain a second skeleton posture, where the second skeleton posture includes location information of at least one joint, and the at least one target joint is in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least one joint. Hence, the method, the apparatus, and the computer readable storage medium can improve recognition accuracy of a human body posture.
