Abstract: Certain farmed and/or breeding fish such as tilapia are filleted after the fish have been beheaded, slaughtered and had their ventral cavity opened. Cuts are made in the dorsal region and on the ventral side in the caudal region for exposing the dorsal spokes and ventral spokes, respectively. Then, separating cuts are made over the vertebral column connecting the dorsal and ventral cuts. Before peeling separation in the region of the ventral cavity, the ventral lobes are trimmed by separation of the ends of their ventral lobe portions projecting beyond the ribs. Peeling separation is completed by peeling cuts adapted to the rib contour and made with at least two degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A method for processing text in a computer unit (1) and a computer unit (1) are proposed which enable key word lists to be efficiently generated. In the process, a first list (5) of key words is generated, a first text (10) being partitioned into a plurality of text chunks which are separated from one another by predefined text components of a text component list (20) stored in a memory (15) assigned to the computer unit (1). At least one portion of a text chunk is entered into the first list (5) of key words when its frequency of occurrence in the first text (10) exceeds a first predefined value. In a first step, all word groups in the remaining text chunks are sought which include a first predefined number of directly adjacent words. Of these word groups in the text chunks, those are subsequently deleted whose frequency of occurrence in the first text exceeds the first predefined value and which, therefore, are entered into the first list (5) of key words. In a second step, all word groups in the remaining text chunks are sought which include a second predefined number of directly adjacent words, the second predefined number of words being smaller than the first predefined number of words.

Abstract: Encoding and decoding of subtitle data is performed in real time. A buffer regulates a flow rate of the subtitle data to ensure that appropriate subtitles are superimposed on the correct video picture. In encoding, subtitles are generated in correspondence with a video picture. The subtitles are separately encoded and multiplexed with the video picture for transmission. Upon decoding, the subtitles are selected at a time which corresponds to display of the corresponding video picture. Since the subtitles are processed separately from the video data, the subtitles may be manipulated with great control, thus providing more flexibility in encoding and decoding. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus is presented for detecting the presence of a packet being transmitted on a communications medium using self-correlation of samples taken from the communications medium. The method saves on power consumption by sampling the communications medium at a sampling rate that is lower than the sampling rate used for sampling the data in the packet. An unexpected result is achieved when packet detection performs better at the lower sampling rate than at the higher sampling rate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Objective measurement methods and devices for predicting perceptual quality of speech signals degraded in speech processing/transporting systems have unreliable prediction results in cases where the degraded and reference signals show in between severe timbre differences. Improvement is achieved by applying a partial compensation step within in a signal processing stage using a frequency dependently clipped compensation factor for compensating power differences between the degraded and reference signals in the frequency domain. Preferably clipping values for clipping the compensation factor have larger frequency-dependency in a range of low frequencies with respect to a centre frequency of the human auditory system, than in a range of high frequencies. <IMAGE>
