Title: Method and system for multi-rate lattice vector quantization of a signal
Inventor: BESSETTE BRUNO
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-rate lattice vector quantization of a source vector x representing a frame from a source signal to be used, for example, in digital transmission and storage systems. The multi-rate lattice quantization encoding method comprises the steps of associating to x a lattice point y in a unbounded lattice Lambda; verifying if y is included in a base codebook C derived from the lattice Lambda; if it is the case then indexing y in C so as to yield quantization indices if not then extending the base codebook using, for example a Voronoi based extension method, yielding an extended codebook; associating to y a codevector c from the extended codebook, and indexing y in the extended codebook C. The extension technique allows to obtain higher bit rate codebooks from the base codebooks compared to quantization method and system from the prior art.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing
abnormal regions on an optical recording medium. The method
includes the steps of:
     detecting (21) the abnormal region;   determining (23, 31) the type of the abnormal region; and   measuring (24, 32) the length of the abnormal region.   
Before playback or recording of an optical recording medium
inserted in an apparatus for reading from and/or writing to
optical recording media the apparatus determines (21, 23, 24,
31, 32) the positions, lengths and types of abnormal regions on
the optical recording medium. The obtained information can then
be used, for example, to avoid that during playback or
recording a pickup for reading and/or recording unexpectedly
encounters an abnormal region. This makes the operation of the
apparatus more reliable.

Abstract: Signal acquisition devices such as digital storage oscilloscopes
(DSOs) use a display grid that is fixed at eight divisions vertically
by ten divisions horizontally. The eight by ten division grid is the
same size as the grids initially etched into the glass of the cathode
ray tube (CRT) such as provided by the earlier analog oscilloscopes. The
eight by ten division grid has lingered despite the fact that most
engineering applications requiring the graphing of data are not limited
to an eight by ten graticule. That is, in virtually all disciplines of
science, data is typically graphed with scales that provide an appearance
adapted for ease of interpreting the data. One disadvantage of the
current standard oscilloscope approach is that as data is zoomed on the
display, the graticules are still fixed as eight by ten rather than
providing a constant frame of reference to the acquired waveform parameters.
