Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs permettant de détecter l'application d'un échantillon fluidique sur une surface de bande d'essai lorsqu'on introduit cette bande dans un dispositif de mesure optique. Dans ces procédés, on obtient des données de réflexion à partir d'une partie du dispositif de mesure optique sur laquelle se situe une région d'application d'échantillon de la bande d'essai, les données de réflexion couvrant une plage temporelle comprise entre un point précédent l'application de l'échantillon sur la bande à un point suivant l'application dudit échantillon sur ladite bande. La présence de l'échantillon fluidique sur la bande d'essai est ensuite déterminée à partir des données de réflexion. L'invention concerne également des dispositifs de mesure optique comprenant des moyens optiques qui permettent d'obtenir des données de réflexion, ces moyens optiques comprenant au moins une source de rayonnement et un détecteur de lumière. Ces procédés et dispositifs s'utilisent avec une variété de bandes d'essai, et conviennent parfaitement pour des bandes d'essai comprenant des moyens de déplacement fluidique, tels qu'une vessie compressible.

Abstract: A hierarchical lossless encoding and decoding technology for digital signals such as of music data, audio data, or the like. A lossless reproduced signal is made identical to an input signal even when the processing accuracy in an encoding apparatus and the processing accuracy in a decoding apparatus are different from each other. the encoding apparatus transmits low-bit-rate encoded data produced by encoding an input signal, lossless encoded data produced by effecting lossless encoding on a differential signal between a low-bit-rate decoded signal decoded from the low-bit-rate encoded data and the input signal, and corrective information extracted from the low-bit-rate decoded signal to respective input terminals of the decoding apparatus. A low-bit-rate decoder decodes the low-bit-rate encoded data. A lossless decoder decodes the differential signal. A  corrector corrects the low-bit-rate decoded signal based on the corrective information. An adder adds the differential signal and the corrected low-bit-rate decoded signal into a lossless reproduced signal.
