Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for transmitting and receiving audio, particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving of object-based audio contents, which packetizes audio objects having the same characteristic. To achieve the above, the present invention includes filtering a plurality of ESs according to common information, adding a packet header to the respective filtered ESs and generate ES packets, aggregating all the generated ES packets and then adding a multi-object packet header to the aggregated ES packets to generate an object packet, and multiplexing the generated object packet, packetizing the multiplexed object packet according to a transmitting media and transmitting the packetized object packet.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method of providing contents. The apparatus of providing the contents may include a receiving unit to receive, from a contents provider, contents and information about a contents providing location, a local group setting unit to search for at least one cell based on the information about the contents providing location and to set the retrieved cell as a content providing location group of the contents, and a transmitting unit to transmit the contents to the set content providing location group. The object based audio contents may be consecutively replayed based on an identical audio preset.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for creating, editing and reproducing a multi-object audio content file for an object-based audio service and a method for creating audio presets. The multi-object audio content file creating method includes creating a plurality of frames for each audio object forming an audio content; and creating a multi-object audio content file by grouping and storing the frames according to each reproduction time. This invention can enhance functions of the object-based audio service and make it easy to access to each audio object of an audio content file.
Abstract:
Provided is an availability prediction method for a high availability. The method includes calculating a basic survival probability that the other node survives until a failure on one node of two nodes constituting a cluster is fixed, and determining an optimal number of nodes meeting a preset reference availability probability by calculating an availability probability for a predetermined range of the number of nodes on the basis of the basic survival probability. The method determines the number of nodes in the high availability cluster so as to match a reference availability probability, and is able to accomplish an optimal configuration of a cluster by calculating the availability probabilities for combinations between active node and passive nodes and between head nodes and switches.
Abstract:
Provided are an object-based three dimensional (3-D) audio service system using preset audio scenes and a method thereof. The system and the method are suggested for enabling a user to easily and conveniently watch and listen an object based 3-D audio service by eliminating inconvenience that requires a user to control each of object audio signals of sound sources. The system includes: audio input means for inputting an audio signal; preset audio scene generating means for extracting object audio signals from the audio signal inputted through the audio input means and generating more than one of 3-D audio scene information by arranging the extracted object audio signals in a 3-D space and editing features of each object; and encoding means for encoding and multiplexing the audio signal and the 3-D audio scene information for each object audio signal.
Abstract:
A fractional caching method and an adaptive contents transmitting method using the same are provided. The fractional caching method includes the steps of setting up a divided location for dividing a certain object into two parts, receiving an evict request for acquiring a space in the inside of the cache, when the evict request is transmitted, dividing a plurality of objects stored in the cache into a prefix-Object located in the head of the object and a suffix-Object located in the tail of the object from the divided location, and removing only the suffix-Object of each object, wherein the divided location is set up at a size rate that a size of the prefix-Object is in inverse proportion to the number of the destination types.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a stereo mobile terminal including an RF section for receiving or transmitting stereo speech data during a voice call; a demultiplexer for demultiplexing the received stereo speech data into a plurality of speech data and outputting the plurality of speech data; an audio codec for converting the plurality of speech data into a plurality of speech signals to output the speech signals to a plurality of speakers and converting a plurality of speech signals inputted from a plurality of microphones into a plurality of speech data and outputting the plurality of speech data; a multiplexer for multiplexing the plurality of speech data outputted from the audio codec to output the same as stereo speech data; and a control section for controlling operations of the mobile terminal to perform voice communication with a caller's terminal according to a user's demand.
Abstract:
A method of centering a contact on a layer of a magnetic memory device. In one embodiment, a spacers is formed in an opening surrounding the upper layer and the contact is formed within the spacer. The spacer is formed from an anisotropically etched conformal layer deposited on an upper surface and into the opening.
Abstract:
An anode active material for a lithium secondary battery includes a silicon alloy that includes silicon and at least one kind of metal other than silicon, the silicon alloy allowing alloying with lithium. A volume of an inactive region in the silicon alloy, which is not reacted with lithium, is 50 to 75% of the entire volume of an active material. The anode active material has a large capacity in comparison to carbon-based anode active materials, and also ensures small volume expansion and high capacity retention ratio after charging/discharging, resulting in excellent cycle characteristics.
Abstract:
Conductivity improvements in III-V semiconductor devices are described. A first improvement includes a barrier layer that is not coextensively planar with a channel layer. A second improvement includes an anneal of a metal/Si, Ge or SiliconGermanium/III-V stack to form a metal-Silicon, metal-Germanium or metal-SiliconGermanium layer over a Si and/or Germanium doped III-V layer. Then, removing the metal layer and forming a source/drain electrode on the metal-Silicon, metal-Germanium or metal-SiliconGermanium layer. A third improvement includes forming a layer of a Group IV and/or Group VI element over a III-V channel layer, and, annealing to dope the III-V channel layer with Group IV and/or Group VI species. A fourth improvement includes a passivation and/or dipole layer formed over an access region of a III-V device.
