Abstract: A turbo decoder employing the sliding window algorithm is computational intensive. Computational requirements are reduced in iterative decoders, at the expense of increased memory usage, by storing the stakes between iterations. The stakes used in this improved sliding windows algorithm can be compressed, resulting in a decoder with minimal additional memory requirements, while retaining the advantages in computational requirements obtained from storing the stakes between iterations.

Abstract: In an error diffusion halftoning process a clusters of adjacent pixels can be placed at any
arbitrary position of the pixel grid. 
     The quantization step of the error diffusion takes into account the effect of placement of a
cluster of pixels. The size of a pixel cluster may be fixed or variable. 
     The quantization step of the halftoning process may take into account the effect of the
placement of a cluster of pixels in the same or in a different color separation. 
     The method produces halftones that are less grainy and that print more robustly and
uniformly in the presence of printer variability. 
     The quantization step in the error diffusion process according to one representative
embodiment of the invention evaluates quantization values of possible alternatives in placing

Abstract: Known techniques to measure the slope efficiency of a laser diode involve making
