Patent EP-1619265-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BOARDMAN WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: The coating of internal surfaces of a workpiece is achieved by connecting a bias voltage (20) such that the workpiece functions as a cathode and by connecting an anode (22 and 24) at each opening of the workpiece. A source gas (16 and 18) is introduced at an entrance opening, while a vacuum source (32) is connected at an exit opening. Pressure within the workpiece is monitored (34) and the resulting pressure information is used for maintaining a condition that exhibits the hollow cathode effect. Optionally, a pre-cleaning may be provided by introducing a hydrocarbon mixture and applying a negative bias to the workpiece, so as to sputter contaminants from the workpiece using argon gas (16). Argon gas may also be introduced during the coating processing to re-sputter the coating, thereby improving uniformity along the length of the workpiece. The coating may be a diamond-like carbon material having properties which are determined by controlling ion bombardment energy.

Abstract: A binarization procedure in scalable video coding, wherein a video sequence is encoded in a manner such that an encoded sequence characterized by a lower bit rate can be produced through selective removal of bits from the bitstream. The binarization procedure is used to form a plurality of enhancement layers, each of which is associated with a quantization step-size. An interval is obtained based on the quantization step-size and the reconstructed values of the enhancement layer coefficients. Based on the predicted values of the enhancement layer coefficients and the original coefficients of the video data, the interval is refined and the reconstruction values are recomputed in order to reduce the quantization step-size for the next enhancement layer.
