encoding;   (b) for a pixel in said frame, comparing a difference between:
   (i) the value of said pixel; and   (ii) the predicted value of said pixel from motion compensation
prediction of said frame to a first level;     (c) when said comparing of step (b) indicates said difference is greater
than said first level, apply lowpass filtering to said pixel;   (d) repeating steps (b)-(c) for other pixels of said frame; and   (e) motion-compensated encoding of said frame after said filtering.

Abstract: A semiconductor device (10) is cleaned using a carbon dioxide
snow spray. Taking advantage of the cooling effect acting
thereby, a semiconductor device backside (12) being contaminated
by particles due to a manufacturing process like etching

Title: Context-aware and location-aware cellular phones and methods
Inventor: PARUPUDI GOPAL
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: Context-aware and location-aware cellular phones and methods are
described. In one embodiment, cellular phones are configured to wirelessly
receive information that pertains to their current context or location. The phones
then automatically use the information to modify one or more cellular phone
behaviors, e.g. by turning the phone off, changing the ringer's pitch, or placing the
phone in a vibrate mode. In one particular embodiment, various location types are
defined and have associated attributes that define a desired cellular phone
behavior. One or more transmitters at a location for which a behavior is desired
transmit information that pertains to the location's class type. The cell phones can
carry an association of class types and their behaviors so that when the phones
receive the class type information, they can automatically adjust their behavior.

components of enzyme-treated yeast or acid-treated yeast cell
wall fractions consisting of cell residue obtained by treating
said fractions with an acidic aqueous solution. Thus, the
coating agent is prepared. The oxygen permeability
coefficient of the film formed from the coating agent is less

Abstract: It is an object to provide a clip and a footrest assembly capable of relieving
shock to the foot of a driver or an occupant of a vehicle in the event of a vehicle
collision, of allowing a footrest to be reused even if an associated vehicle body panel
has any deformation due to the vehicle collision, and of suitably dealing with a
collision force leading the deformation of the panel to prevent the footrest from being
thrusted up. 
     A footrest assembly (15) comprises a footrest (17) and a clip (18). The clip (18) has a
shank (27) to be inserted into and fixed to a hollow tubular support (22,23) extending
from a rear surface (21) of a step of the footrest (17), and a resilient engagement pawl (29),
which serves as a vehicle body panel fixing portion, formed in a shank portion
protruding outwardly of the end of the tubular support. A protrusion (33) for defining the height of the
footrest is provided at the intermediate region of the side surface of the shank (27) of
the clip (18), and is arranged to engage with an end face of a notch (26) formed at the end
of the tubular support so as to prevent the shank from being further inserted. The protrusion
(33) is formed at the side surface of the shank with a strength which allows the
protrusion to be shorn by the end of the tubular support when a vehicle collision or the like
provides an excessive impact force to make the shank further press to the support of
the footrest. In the above manner, even if the vehicle body panel is deformed toward
the step of the footrest, the thrust directed to the foot of a car driver or occupant in the
step can be eliminated or minimized.

information representing the technical features of the host to be actuated; a
candidate host is identified, which may be the host to be actuated on the basis
of compatibility between the technical features of this candidate host and the
technical features indicated in the search signal; this candidate host is started
up by means of a control interface attached to the node to which said host
candidate is connected and, if this candidate host proves not to be the host to
be actuated, a search signal is transmitted once again in order to continue the
search, whereas if this host does indeed prove to be the host to be actuated,
operating commands are sent to it by means of said control interface, which
also interrupts the search.
