Method for dynamically optimizing bandwidth allocation in a variable bitrate conference environment. Conference means with two or more outputs are provided, where each one can output data at different rates, in order to support two or more endpoints which may have different media rates. Two or more endpoints are connected to these conference means for participating in the conference. Whenever more than one video rate is used by participants during the conference, each set of output rates is selected from all possible combinations of output rates in the conference means, wherein the lowest output rate in each selected set is the entry rate of the endpoint joining the conference at the lowest rate. A Quality Drop Coefficient (QDC) for each endpoint that joins the conference is determined for each selected set, wherein the QDC is computed according to the endpoint entry rate and the highest rate, among the output rates of each selected set, that is lower or equal to said endpoints' entry rate. A Quality Drop Value (QDV) is calculated for each of the selected sets, wherein, preferably, the set of output rates with the lowest QDV is determined as the optimal video rate set to select. The video rate of all the endpoints having a video rate above the highest optimal video rate is reduced to the highest optimal video rate, if required, and the video rate of other endpoints having video rate between two consecutive levels of optimal video rates is reduced to the lowest level among said levels. Whenever a change occurs in either the amount of participating endpoints in the conference or in the declared bit rate capability of the participating endpoints, the video rates of all the outputs are recalculated.

A dunnage crumpling apparatus is provided having first and second entry-side crumpling members and first and second exit-side crumpling members. The first and second entry-side crumpling members define an entry therebetween. The first and second exit-side crumpling members define an exit therebetween that is disposed along the longitudinal path downstream of the entry. A crumpling zone being defined between the entry and exit. The first entry-side crumpling member is configured for moving at an first rate and is associated with the second entry-side crumpling member for moving sheet material through the entry in a first direction along a longitudinal path at an entry rate. The first exit-side crumpling member is configured for moving at an second rate and is associated with the second exit-side crumpling member for moving the sheet material through the exit in the first direction along the path at a exit rate that is slower than the entry rate to crumple the sheet material for producing dunnage. The entry and exit-side crumpling members are displaced laterally along the path with respect to each other to cause shearing of the sheet within the crumpling zone.

A method for controlling entry of hydrocarbon into a wellbore from a subsurface formation includes determining whether hydrocarbon is entering the wellbore. Whether a rate of hydrocarbon entry into the wellbore is slowing is then determined Control of discharge from the wellbore is then switched from maintaining a selected wellbore pressure to controlling a rate of discharge of fluid from the wellbore to be substantially constant if the hydrocarbon entry rate is slowing. Control of discharge from the wellbore is returned to maintaining the selected wellbore pressure when the hydrocarbon stops entering the wellbore.

The present invention provides a broadcast storm control system and method. Said broadcast storm control system comprises a plurality of ports and a processing module, wherein each port comprising an arithmometer used for taking count of the number of broadcast packets which are received in a unit time, and a corresponding discarding marker which depends on enumerated data and an ingress rate of the port. The processing module receives a packet from a special port out of these ports, and then discards or transmits the packet to at least one port among these ports, according to the discarding marker corresponding to the special port. The broadcast storm control system and method in accordance with the present invention is capable of preventing broadcast packets from all the ports being stopped transmitting.

Provided is an implementation of an auto-completion or auto-correction mechanism where a dictionary of entry list look-up is triggered by the expiry of a time limit between data entry events such as key-press events, where the value of the time limit is dynamically determined as a function of the entry rate. The time limit may be calculated for example on the basis of an average entry rate, and may include an extra margin value. The occurrence of look up triggering will therefore tend to be optimised to the present user's data entry rate.

The present invention provides a method and device for detecting people in a fixed area, wherein the method includes: obtaining the current observed store entry rate and the current observed store exit rate in the detection period; Calculate the length of time in the store for the people who have both the behavior of entering the fixed area and the behavior of leaving the fixed area, and calculate the cumulative distribution function of the length of time in the store; calculate the time between the start of each detection cycle and the current time. The monitoring equipment recognizes only entering the fixed area The unbiased estimate of the people who act but did not leave the fixed area; the number of people in the current fixed area is corrected according to the unbiased estimate of the store, and the accurate number of people in the current fixed area is obtained, which improves the detection of the number of people in the fixed area. 's accuracy.

The present disclosure provides a parking assist system including: a rear object recognizer that recognizes a rear object existing behind a vehicle through rear sensors; a reversing controller that controls the vehicle to reverse until an entry rate to the parking space becomes a first reference value or more, and ends reversing control when a distance between the vehicle and the rear object becomes less than a second reference value; a rear object position storage that stores position information of the rear object and increases a count when the reversing control is ended on the basis of the distance between the vehicle and the rear object; and a system terminator that ends parking control when the position information of the rear object before and after the count is increased is substantially the same.
