Abstract: The invention relates to an encoding method for the compression of a video sequence by means of a three-dimensional wavelet transform. This method is based on a hierarchical subband encoding process leading to transform coefficients that constitute a hierarchical pyramid. A spatio-temporal orientation tree, in which the roots are formed with the pixels of the approximation subband and the offspring of each of these pixels is formed with the pixels of the higher subbands, defines the spatio-temporal relationship inside said pyramid. The initial subband structure of the wavelet transform is, in the encoding process, preserved by scanning the subbands one after the other in an order that respects the parent-offspring dependencies formed in the tree, and flags ' off / on ' are added to each coefficient of the tree in view of a progressive transmission of the most significant bits of the coefficients. According to the invention, an additional, specific one bit flag is added to each subband for giving an information about the overall state of its coefficients, said additional information about the parent-offspring dependencies of each subband being then used to either process said subband if said flag has a first one of its two possible values or skip it if said flag has the second one said two possible values.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lithographic printing method which
performs lithographic printing with emulsion ink as it is
supplied from an ink fountain which is a reservoir of the
emulsion ink to a lithographic printing plate, comprising
the steps of: computing amounts of consumption of ink and
aqueous components of the emulsion ink on the basis of a
percent image area of the lithographic printing plate; and
replenishing the ink fountain with at least one member of
the group consisting of the ink component, the aqueous
component and the emulsion ink in accordance with the
computed amounts of consumption of the ink and aqueous
components. By the lithographic printing method of the
present invention, the problems that accompany the process
of lithographic printing with emulsion ink, such as
scumming which results from high consumption of the aqueous
component, as well as faint image density, waterlogging due
to over-emulsification and the like which result from low
consumption of the aqueous component can be prevented and
one can produce high-quality printed matter that is free
from any deterioration in image quality on account of those
problems.

Abstract: A reactive and adsorptive (i.e., protective) fiber, a mufti-element protective filter and methods for constructing and using same which possess at least chemically reactive and biocidal properties. Nanoparticles from different classes such as metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal hydrates and POMs are incorporated into elements which can be utilized in a wide variety of protective materials. The nanoparticles may be treated to reduce water solubility or combined with halogens, alkali metals or secondary metal oxides to specifically engineer the nanoparticle to address a particular chemical or biocidal threat. When arranged upstream of an activated carbon filter, the nanoparticles provide enhanced adsorption or additional reactive properties to the protective filter. When used with carbon specially treated with metal ions, the protective filter retains the ability to adsorb blood agents as well. Significant advances in nanoparticle technology are described wherein clusters made from about 1nm to about 200nm sized nanoparticles are reduced to tangible filter element precursors.
