Abstract: The encoder has a renormalization unit to analyze intervals associated to bits (BO) of a bit sequence and to decide if the bits are to be renormalized. The unit has a reference table (T1), stored in a memory, and allows extracting values obtained by iteration during renormalization. Address in which a data is stored in the table is determined from Codirange and Codilow (CIL, CIR). The table is consulted to extract the values. The bits to be inserted are inserted in an output stream and number of unknown bits in insertion wait state of previous renormalization and the parameters are updated. An independent claim is also included for a method for performing context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) type encoding of a digital binary initial data stream for generating an output stream so as to form video images, after decoding.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes, des procédés, des appareils et des produits associés à l'étirage et au soufflage de substrats en verre ultra minces, tels que des plaques de verre pour écran souple, par exemple pour écrans à diodes électroluminescentes organiques (OLED), pour écrans à cristaux liquides (LCD) et/ou autres applications de substrat souple, telles que l'éclairage et/ou autres technologies, telles que l'électromouillage (EW), les applications d'affichage électrophorétique, etc. Une source de chaleur localisée chauffe de manière centripète une préforme verticale en verre, tandis qu'une source d'air comprimé souffle le verre chauffé pour l'étendre. Un palier lubrifié par air peut souffler de manière centripète de l'air contre la préforme en expansion afin de limiter l'expansion et d'empêcher le contact de la préforme avec la source de chaleur localisée. Pendant ce temps, la préforme est tirée verticalement afin d'étirer le verre chauffé. La préforme peut flotter dans un mécanisme de flottaison afin de compenser la gravité lorsque la préforme est tirée vers le haut. La préforme soufflée et étirée peut être refroidie, enduite d'une couche polymère et découpée en un ruban par des dispositifs en ligne lors de sa sortie du palier lubrifié par air. Par exemple, un laser peut découper de manière hélicoïdale une préforme soufflée, étirée et enduite de polymère sous forme d'un ruban, qui peut être recueilli par enroulement.
