Title: Methods of encoding and decoding an image, and corresponding devices
Filed: 2012-04-24
Abstract: An original encoding method for a unit of pixels of an original image signal (101) is a two-stage probabilistic coding mode. The mode provides a first prediction-based encoding of an original coding unit to obtain a pre-coded coding unit, where the pre-coded coding unit comprises a prediction residual quantized in a frequency domain using predefined quantizers. The mode also provides a second encoding of a quantization residual resulting from the difference between the original coding unit and a decoded version of the obtained pre-coded coding unit. The second encoding includes quantizing in the frequency domain the quantization residual using quantizers selected based on statistics depending on the original image signal (101). A preliminary prediction-based encoding of at least one original encoding unit may be carried out, to generate a preliminary quantization residual from which statistics are obtained. The preliminary prediction-based encoding may involve competing between static coding modes to obtain segmentation of a preliminary prediction residual frame portion, where the static coding modes use pre-defined quantizers based on one quantization offset.

Title: Method for producing microorganisms
Inventor: AMEN JEAN
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1982-04-29
Granted: 1984-10-25
Abstract: This invention relates to the production of the microorganisms. The operation is conducted in two stages. The first stage is conducted in the absence of ultrafiltration while the pH of the growth medium is maintained within the range of 6-7 by the addition of a neutralizing agent. Nutrient substratum and dilution water are added during the first stage to maintain the growth rate at a constant level, and the volume of growth medium is permitted to increase. When the amount of growth inhibiting agent produced in the fermentation reaches a predetermined maximum level, the second stage is initiated and the growth rate is maintained in a range of 0.10 to 0.50/hr, which is less than the growth rate in the first stage. By increasing the amount of dilution water the concentration of the growth inhibiting agent is maintained so as to achieve the desired moderate growth rate. The growth inhibiting agent is also continuously removed from the growth medium during the second stage and the volume of the growth medium is maintained substantially constant. The invention may be applied to the production of lactic bacteria, in particular for example in the cheese and wine making industries.
