Abstract: A system and method for encoding multimedia video is described. As video is encoded a quantization parameter is selected for each macroblock. As described herein, the quantization parameter for each macroblock may be selected by limiting the universe of all possible quantization parameters to a particular range of possible quantization parameter values. This increases the speed of video encoding by reducing the number of quantization parameters that are tested for each video macroblock.

IPC: A01K85/02
Filed: 2009-02-19
Abstract: A bait assembly for fishing, e.g. leisure fishing, is described. The bait assembly comprises a hook coupled to a rearward end of a line. A bait body is slideably or detachably mounted with respect to the line so that in normal use a flexible section of the line extends into the bait body. The bait body may comprise an artificial lure, or may comprises a skewer onto which dead bait may be mounted. A retaining mechanism is arranged between the bait body and the line to bias the bait body in a for-ward position on the line relative to the hook. Thus when a pulling force is applied between the bait body and the line which over-comes the biasing action of the retaining mechanism, the bait body is operable to move backwards with respect to the line (e.g. by sliding or breaking free), thereby causing a relative forward translational movement of the hook with respect to the bait body.  Ac-cordingly, when a fish bites onto the bait body in use, the resulting increased pulling force on the bait body relative to the line causes the hook to move / slide forward in the fish's mouth relative to the bait body. This leads to an increased likelihood of the fish being hooked and so thus providing for an increased hook-up-ratio.
