Patent EP-1280359-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOURNE DAVID RONALD
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A method of processing video or image data in a block-based video or image communication system (200, 300) includes the step of arranging (352, 392) the data in irregular shaped blocks (210, 220, 230, 240) for reducing a visible effect of artefacts introduced into a transmitted and decoded image. A video communication system and unit are also described. 
     By utilising irregular shaped blocks (210, 220, 230, 240) the shape appears random, while retaining some spatial correlation. This gives a better-perceived image quality at the decoder, when subjected to compression artefacts or transmission errors. This enables either more compression to be applied to achieve the same subjective image quality, or an improved subjective quality for the same amount of image compression. Also, any errors introduced into the compressed image data by transmission have a reduced visual effect on the decoded image.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing tire bead cores, in which a
bead wire (35) extending tangentially relative to a bead core winding drum
(20) that includes a plurality of arcuate segments (18) is guided by a guide
means (72) that extends radially relative to the winding drum, and the guide
means is moved toward clamp jaws (46;47) of a chuck (56) to cause a
translation movement of the bead wire to a position between the clamp
jaws, for clamping a leading end of the bead wire by the chuck. The
winding drum (20) is rotated together with the chuck (56) so that the bead
wire (35) with its leading end clamped by the chuck is helically wound in a
circumferential groove (19) of the winding drum as a plurality of layers,
thereby forming a bead core (36) having a predetermined cross-section.
The segments (18) are then synchronously moved radially inwards, so as to
reduce an outer diameter of the winding drum (20) to a value smaller than
the inner diameter of the bead core (36).

Abstract: Multi-wavelength light having a frequency band equal to or greater than the FSR of
an AWG is demultiplexed into individual wavelength channels, and power level
deviations between wavelength channels are suppressed. An optical demultiplexer
includes a wavelength-group demultiplexer (31) that demultiplexes multi-wavelength light
into wavelength groups formed from wavelength channels, and channel demultiplexers
(32-1 to 32-m) that demultiplex each wavelength group into wavelength channels light.
An optical multiplexer includes channel multiplexers (34-1 to 34-m) that multiplex
modulated signal light of each wavelength channel for each wavelength group, and a
wavelength-group multiplexer (35) that multiplexes, for each wavelength group, WDM
signal light output from the channel multiplexers. The FSR of the wavelength-group
multiplexer/demultiplexer is set to be equal to or greater than the frequency band of the
multi-wavelength light. The channel multiplexer/demultiplexer is an AWG in which the
FSR is approximately the full width at half maximum of the transmission characteristics of
each port of the wavelength-group multiplexer/demultiplexer.

IPC: H04L1/16

Abstract: A radio communication system comprises a communication channel for the transmission of data packets from a primary station ( 100 ) to a secondary station ( 110 ). In response to receipt of a data packet, the secondary station transmits an acknowledgement signal to the primary station indicating the status of the received data packet. The signal is selected from a set of at least two available signal types (for example positive and negative acknowledgements, ACK and NACK), and the power at which it is transmitted depends on the type of the signal. In one embodiment NACKs are transmitted at a higher power than ACKs, thereby reducing the chance of the primary station misinterpreting a NACK as an ACK. In another embodiment a REVERT signal is used to request retransmission of a previous packet. The REVERT signal may be identical to the NACK signal but transmitted at a higher power.

Abstract: An encoding data processing apparatus generates at least one water marked
version of an original item of material formed by introducing one of a predetermined
set of code words into a copy of the original material item. The apparatus has a
bandwidth adaptation processor operable to adapt a bandwidth of the code word to at
least part of a bandwidth of the original material item, and an encoder operable to
combine the bandwidth adapted code word with a copy of the original material item. 
     The probability of correctly detecting a code word is improved by combining
the code word with a part of the bandwidth of the material item. As a result, if the
material is transformed in some way the code word may still be detected. For
example, by embedding the code word into the low frequency temporal and spatial
components of the material an improved resistance to temporal or spatial distortion is
provided. As a result, an improvement in the probability of correctly detecting a code
word is provided.
