Abstract: An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof.   A boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the respective reference pixel values with the average value, detects  a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the detected  boundary.    An  adaptive  predictor  calculates  a prediction value  by performing  a  calculation  based  on  a function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the reference pixels.   A prediction difference calculating unit determines a difference value between the prediction value and a value of the target encoding pixel.  A prediction coincidence determining unit compares the prediction value and the target encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a binary signal.  A context generator generates a context based on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the prediction difference calculating unit.  An arithmetic encoder encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.

Inventor: NELSON FREDERICK
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1996-09-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for synthesizing a stable reference signal of a desired frequency within a spread spectrum receiver is disclosed herein. The spread spectrum receiver is designed for use in conjunction with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, and operates to receive broadcast differential GPS correction information. The present frequency synthesis technique contemplates generating a sequence of timing signals within the GPS receiver on the basis of GPS satellite signals received thereby, and providing the timing signals to the signal receiver. Within the signal receiver,the signal cycles of a local oscillator occurring between ones of the timing signals are counted. The frequency of the local oscillator is then determined by dividing the counted cycles of the local oscillator by one of the known time intervals. The determined frequency of output signals produced by the local oscillator is then scaled so as necessary to produce the reference signal of desired frequency. This allows precisely controlled reference frequencies to be obtained irrespective of the existence of frequency instability within the local oscillator. In a preferred implementation, the stable reference signals are employed during acquisition of differential GPS correction signals received by the spread spectrum receiver. In particular, the desired reference frequency is incrementally adjusted during the process of searching for and acquiring the exact frequency of the incident differential GPS correction signals. The spread spectrum receiver is disposed to provide differential GPS correction information extracted from the acquired differentialGPS correction signals to the GPS receiver.

Title: Methods for producing cytoplasmic male sterility in plants and use thereof in production of hybrid seed
Inventor: MALIGA PAL
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system for plants, which is based on modification of the plastid genome. The CMS system comprises three transgenes: a "plastid male sterility" (pms) gene, regulated by a "nuclear male sterility" (nms) gene and a "restorer of male fertility" (rmf) gene.  The pms gene is either an inactive gene encoding a toxic gene product or an actively expressed gene encoding an essential gene product. The nms gene is controlled by an anther-specific promoter, and encodes a plastid-directed polypeptide that regulates the pms gene, either by activating expression of the inactive toxic pms gene or by repressing expression of the essential pms gene, which causes plastid and cellular disablement or death in anther tissue, thereby preventing formation of viable pollen. The rmf gene encodes a gene product that prevents the nms gene from regulating the pms gene. Cytoplasmically male-sterile plants are obtained by crossing a patent line containing the pms gene with a parent line containing the nms gene. Male-fertile hybrid seed is obtained from crosses between the cytoplasmically male-sterile plants and a second parent line containing the rmf gene.
