Title: Refinement coefficient coding based on history of corresponding transform coefficient values
Inventor: KARCZEWICZ MARTA
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2007-10-11
Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for coding of refinement coefficients of an enhancement layer in a scalable video coding (SVC) scheme. According to this disclosure, a method may comprise evaluating a history of transform coefficient values associated with one or more previous layers of the SVC scheme, and estimating one or more refinement coefficient values associated with a current layer of the SVC scheme based on the history. On the encoding side, the coding process may include excluding information for one or more refinement coefficient values from the bitstream and signaling to the decoder that such information is excluded from the bitstream. On the decoding side, coding process include parsing the bitstream to identify information that signals to the decoder that information is excluded from the bitstream, and generating such information based on the history associated with one or more previous layers of the SVC scheme.

Filed: 2007-06-04
Abstract: The distribution apparatus is designed to distribute fluidizable material to be conveyed (13) from a starting container (1) to a plurality of target containers (21, 22, 23, 24). The distribution apparatus comprises a conveyor pipe (3) which has an entry opening (12) for the material to be conveyed (13) and a plurality of exit openings (41, 42, 43, 44) for the material to be conveyed (13). Passage surfaces (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) are arranged in the conveyor pipe (3), through which surfaces a fluidization gas flow is introduced into the conveyor pipe (3). According to the invention, a propellant is supplied for the generation of a propellant flow along the conveyor pipe (3) in the conveying direction. The invention has the advantage that the material to be conveyed (13) is transported without being influenced by the gradient of the conveyor pipe (3) and that the energy consumption is small. Another advantage of the invention is that the fluidization gas flow and the propellant flow are also suitable to transport remains of the material to be conveyed out of the conveyor pipe (3). The conveyor pipe (3) can thus be cleaned by means of the fluidization gas flow and the propellant flow.
