Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of source decoding variable-length codeword sequences, said decoding being based on an associated state diagram comprising a plurality of states (S) and on a code (C). It is characterized in that it comprises a step of reducing the states (S) in the state diagram in such a way that, at a bit time (Bj), only a number N of states in a group (G) of states is saved on the basis of a criterion derived from a partial metric computation and otherwise independently of an alphabet of said code (C), a group (G) being associated with a bit time (Bj). A group (G) corresponds to all the states (S) calculated at each bit time (Bj).

Abstract: A mechanism for splicing advertisements, local programming and the like into a digital video transport stream is provided. In order to achieve proper splicing, an appropriate number of frames is inserted between bitstreams to properly close a GOP of the first bitstream into which a second bitstream carrying the spliced content is inserted. Program clock references (PCRs) of the bitstreams are adjusted as necessary in order to force continuity between the bitstreams. For inserting advertisements, the PCR of the program stream and ad stream can be tracked, and the PCR of the program stream can be used both before and after splicing. For local program insertion (which are typically substantially longer than advertisements), the PCR of the local program can be used, after adjustment thereof with an offset to maintain continuity at the splice point. The PTS and/or DTS of the inserted bitstream can be modified to keep them continuous at the splice point for both video and audio streams. The spliced bitstream is transcoded to maintain a desired output bit rate, and to provide overflow/underflow protection of the video buffers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ejector unit for the electrically-driven ejection of injection moulded pieces from injection moulds. According to the invention, the above may be achieved by the interposing of an elliptical gear drive. The elliptical gear drive can be arranged outside the driving means for the moving mould, which gives more space in the central region of the moving mould for an improved usage with the driving means thereof. The elliptical gearwheel drive has very similar gearing characteristics to a crank, however, with more precise limitation of the force on the driveshaft. Thus the advantages of a crank drive for the ejector unit can be used, with a greater saving of space in the valuable central region of the drive side of the moving mould.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting an appropriate transmit power and data rate at which a communication signal is transmitted over a link between nodes in a wireless ad-hoc communication network based on factors such as variations in path loss in the link, fading conditions, noise level estimation and overall link quality. The system and method perform the operations of computing path loss in the link based on information provided to the source node from the destination node pertaining to characteristics of a message that was transmitted by the source node and received by the destination node, determining a noise factor at the destination node, and calculating the power level and rate at which the data is transmitted over the link from the source node to the destination node based on the path loss and the noise factor. More specifically, the method calculates the power level based on the path loss, the noise factor and signal fading, and determines the rate based on the calculated power level. Furthermore, the path loss is computed dynamically as conditions of said link change over time. Accordingly, the system and method are capable of determining the proper level of transmit power and data rate for assuring that the destination node will receive the data transmitted by the source node at a reliability of at least 90%.

Abstract: The invention provides a new route for the synthesis of carbon-coated powders having the olivine or NASICON structure, which form promising classes of active products for the manufacture of rechargeable lithium batteries. Carbon-coating of the powder particles is necessary to achieve good performances because of the rather poor electronic conductivity of said structures. For the preparation of coated LiFePO4, sources of Li, Fe and phosphate are dissolved in an aqueous solution together with a polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol. Upon water evaporation, polyesterification occurs while a mixed precipitate is formed containing Li, Fe and phosphate. The resin-encapsulated mixture is then heat treated at 700° C. in a reducing atmosphere. This results in the production of a fine powder consisting of an olivine LiFePO4, phase, coated with conductive carbon. When this powder is used as active material in a lithium insertion-type electrode, fast charge and discharge rates are obtained at room temperature and an excellent capacity retention is observed.
