Abstract: There is disclosed image predictive coding
apparatus and method, image predictive decoding apparatus
and method and recording medium which stores therein the
image predictive coding method or the image predictive
decoding method, of which the transform efficiency is
remarkably improved in comparison with the prior arts.
According to the above image predictive coding apparatus
and method, when dividing inputted image data to be coded
into image data of a plurality of small regions which are
adjacent to each other and coding the image data of an
objective small region to be processed among the image data
of the plurality of divided small regions which are
adjacent to each other, reconstructed image data of a
reproduction small region adjacent to the image data of the
objective small region to be processed is used as image
data of an intra-frame prediction small region of the
objective small region to be processed, the image data of
the intra-frame prediction small region is used as image
data of an optimum prediction small region and image data
of a difference small region which are differences between
the image data of the objective small region to be
processed and the image data of the optimum prediction
small region is generated. Then, the generated image data
of the difference small region is coded and outputted, and 
then the coded image data of the difference small region is
decoded, so that the reconstructed image data of the
reproduction small region is generated by adding the
decoded image data of the difference small region to the
image data of the optimum prediction small region.

Abstract: An encoder to encode video streams representing a moving picture is provided whose
video encoder calculates a bit storage quantity an STD video buffer should have when input of
a stream ending with a first picture to the STD video buffer ends, calculates an initial bit storage
quantity of a second picture of a stream concatenated to the end of the first picture and starting
with the second picture, in a VBV buffer, based on the calculated bit storage quantity of the STD
buffer, and encodes the stream based on the bit storage quantity. The video encoder further
calculates a bit storage quantity of the STD video buffer, for decoding a picture of the stream in
the STD video buffer, calculates, based on the calculated bit storage quantity, a bit storage
quantity the VBV buffer should have for ending decoding of a fourth picture of a second stream
concatenated to the beginning of a third picture and ending with the fourth picture, and encodes
the stream based on the calculated bit storage quantity. With such encoding, a part of video
streams can be re-coded without referencing to information indicative of an initial status of a
video buffer when editing the video streams.

Abstract: A self-latching solenoid valve assembly (10) including a valve body (12) having a
pressurized air supply inlet port (16) for communicating with a source of pressurized air and at
least one cylinder port (18,20). A valve member (22) is supported in the valve body (12) so as to be movable
between predetermined positions to selectively direct pressurized air from the inlet port (16) to
at least one cylinder port (18,20). A biasing member (46) is employed to move the valve member (22) in
one direction and a solenoid assembly (14) is used to move the valve member (22) in an opposite
direction. The solenoid assembly (14) includes a housing (48) with a solenoid coil (56) supported therein
and a fixed ferromagnetic pole piece (74) having a passage (82) extending therethrough with a
pushpin (84) movably supported in the passage (82). A ferromagnetic latch (88) is also supported by the
housing and spaced from the pole piece. A permanent magnet (90) is disposed between the
latch (88) and the pole piece (74). The magnet (90) is movable toward the pole piece (74) under the influence
of an electromagnetic flux generated by a pulse of current generated through the coil (56) in one
direction thereby driving the permanent magnet (90) against the pushpin (84) to move the valve
member (22) to one predetermined position. In addition, the permanent magnet (90) is also movable
away from the pole piece (74) and toward the latch (88) under the influence of an electromagnetic
flux generated by a pulse of current flowing through the coil (56) in an opposite direction.
When this occurs, the biasing member (46) moves the valve member (22) to another predetermined
position. A control circuit for changing the direction of the current through the coil is also
disclosed.

Abstract: The calculation of encryption keys is a processor
intensive undertaking that is not suited for "thin
client" terminal devices typically used for session
, applications in an Internet Protocol network. The
present invention provides an encryption scheme for use
with such terminal devices for the secure transmission
of session data that minimizes session set-up delays
associated with the exchange of encryption keys. First,
keys are negotiated between network elements using
prior art techniques (e.g. shared secret, IKE, Diffie-Hellman,
RSA). Then, security is maintained by
refreshing symmetric keys after each session under
cover of an existing key. Perfect Forward Security
(PFS) can be provided by "breaking the chain" through
periodic key refreshes during system idle times.

Abstract: Novel bifunctional reagents useful in providing extended
 in vivo  lifetimes of physiologically active agents are
provided. The reagents comprise conjugates of a first binding
member specific for a target in a mammalian host, such as a
toxin, drug of abuse, microbe, autoreactive immune cell,
infected or tumourous cell, antigen presenting cell, or the
like, joined to a second binding member specific for a longlived
blood component, including cells, such as an
erythrocyte, platelet or endothelial cell, and plasma
proteins. These conjugates find use by extending the lifetime
and availability of the target binding member for coupling the
target and the blood component and thereby reducing the
concentration free target, modulating the volume of
distribution of the target, targeting the target to sites of
enhanced immune response, facilitating target clearance from
the bloodstream, or extending the stimulation of an immunogen.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing a device and for ensuring that updates to the device occurring during synchronization are not re-synchronized to the synchronization partner. Generation identifiers (GIDs), which are updated each time a synchronization occurs, are assigned to objects in a store. When synchronization occurs, a sync client uses state information, which is used to indicate which generations have been synchronized, to determine which objects have changed since the last synchronization. The state information includes reserved write GIDs that are only used by a particular sync client that performs writes during a synchronization. Objects having a GID that matches a write GID are not synchronized because they were written by the sync client during the previous synchronization.
