Patent CA-2828013-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HE DAKE
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 2011-06-08
Abstract: Encoding and decoding methods are presented that used offset-based adaptive reconstruction levels. The offset data is inserted in the bitstream with the encoded video data. The offset data may be differential data and may be an index to an array of offset values from which the differential offset is calculated by the decoder. The offset to an adaptive reconstruction level may be adjusted for each slice. The offsets may be specific to a particular level/index and data type. In some cases, offsets may only be sent for a subset of the levels. Higher levels may apply no offset, may apply an average offset, or may apply the offset used for the highest level having a level- specific offset.

Title: Modified antibiotic peptides having variable systemic release
Inventor: HOFFMANN RALF
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 2012-06-20
Abstract: The invention relates to modified antibiotic peptides, in particular derivatives of apidaecin and oncocin, preferably having increased stability, reduced immunoreaction, and improved pharmacokinetics. In the invention, the peptide antibiotics are reversibly protected by means of a linker having the polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG). The peptide linker contains a recognition sequence for trypsin-like serum proteases. In the apidaecin derivatives, the linker and the PEG are bonded to a side chain. In the serum, the linker is cut by serum proteases and PEG is separated off. The released peptide still contains remnants of the linker, which are still bonded to the amino group in the side chain. Astonishingly, said remaining remnants of the linker impair the activity of the antimicrobial peptide only a little or not at all.

Abstract: CELP encoder and decoder and methods of CELP encoding and decoding. CELP  encoding includes linear prediction analysis to generate linear prediction filter coefficients for a current frame of audio content and encode the coefficients into a bitstream.  A current excitation of the current frame is determined as a combination of an adaptive codebook excitation and an innovation codebook excitation, which, when filtered by a linear prediction synthesis filter based on the coefficients, recovers the current frame by constructing the adaptive codebook excitation defined by a past excitation and an adaptive codebook index for the current frame, encoding the adaptive codebook index into the bitstream, and constructing the innovation codebook excitation defined by an innovation codebook index for the current frame and encoding the innovation codebook index into the bitstream. A  weighting filter construed from the coefficients is utilized to obtain a global gain value that is encoded into the bitstream.
