[57] Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods control communication of content streams through a content distribution network. A data repository (142, J40) is accessed (300) to retrieve information which identifies a group of User equipment nodes (200-214) that are registered with one of a plurality of subscriber accounts and which further identifies weight values that are associated with the group of the user equipment nodes (200-214). Communication bit rates that are provided by a weighted fair queuing scheduler node (136) to individual ones of a group of the content streams within bandwidth allocated to a virtual pipe for carrying the group of the content streams through the content: distribution network to the group of the user equipment nodes (200-214), are regulated responsive to the weight values associated with the group of the user equipment nodes (200-214). Weighted fair queuing scheduling can thereby be provided at a virtual pipe level and, furthermore, at a user equipment node level.

[57] Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for making scored mediums, particularly but not exclusively for use in the corrugated board arts, and articles of manufacture and compositions made there with and made there by. When at least one scored medium is used in a layered or laminated article, and particularly when selectively used as a liner member and/or fluted member in a corrugated board, whether as part of a corrugated board article of manufacture or a laminate with at least one other member, the article will possess mechanical qualities superior to those that would otherwise exist if a non-scored medium was/were used. To achieve these desired qualities, a major axis of the scores formed in the scored medium runs askew, and preferably perpendicular, to the direction of beam strength in any article or article intermediate to which the scored medium is to be associated.

The first wireless device interrupts the D2D communication. Then, the first wireless device determines a first uplink timing difference as the difference between the uplink timing to the source network node and the uplink timing to the target network node. Further, the first wireless device reconfigures the D2D communication based on the first uplink timing difference. Then, the first wireless device restarts the D2D communication as reconfigured. A first wireless device (121) is also provided. Further, a target network node (110, 111, 112), a source network node (110, 111) and methods therein for handling a D2D communication are provided.

[57] Abstract:

A method and apparatus for intra predicting a video. The method includes: determining availability of a predetermined number of adjacent pixels used for intra prediction of a current block; if a first adjacent pixel is unavailable, searching for a second adjacent pixel that is available by searching the predetermined number of adjacent pixels in a predetermined direction based on the first adjacent pixel; and replacing a pixel value of the first adjacent pixel with a pixel value of a found second adjacent pixel. At least one third adjacent pixel in another location, which is not available and excludes the first adjacent pixel at a predetermined location, is sequentially replaced by using a directly adjacent pixel in a predetermined direction.
