Title: Drift-free video encoding and decoding method, and corresponding devices
Inventor: BOURGE ARNAUD
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) subband coding schemes use motion compensation in their temporal filtering stage. Unfortunately, this procedure introduces two drawbacks : (a) the MC being applied at the full resolution, a drift appears when decoding at a lower resolution, and (b) all the motion vectors estimated at full resolution are transmitted, which is a waste of bits. According to the invention, a low resolution sequence is first obtained by generating from the original input sequence of frames - by means of a wavelet decomposition - a sequence of low resolution frames and performing on them a motion compensated spatio-temporal analysis. Then, a motion compensated spatio-temporal analysis of each full resolution group of frames is performed, and the low frequency subbands of the decomposition are finally replaced, at each temporal decomposition level, by the corresponding spatio-temporal subbands of the generated low resolution sequence. The modified sequence thus obtained is finally coded. Thanks to this approach, a good behavior at low resolution is maintained (no more drift) while getting closer to the performance of a classic 3D subband codec at full resolution.

Title: Shear degradation inhibitor for triblock thermoplastic elastomers
Inventor: HALL JAMES E
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomers, such as styrene-poly(ethylenepropylene)-styrene (SEPS) and styrene-poly(ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS), have a tendency to undergo homolytic cleavage on mixing, particularly when extended mixing times are employed. Such thermoplastic elastomers are protected by addition of a polymer with multiple reactive sites, such as polybutadiene. The polymer reacts with two or more of the cleaved fragments forming a copolymer which regains much of the original character of the thermoplastic elastomer.

Abstract: Coil winding method for steel bars providing, at the outlet of the rolling mill ( 2 ), cooling stages by means of WB ( 4', 4'', 4 ''') and equallsation in air so as to perform "soft" hardening on the bar which generates a microstructure consisting, on the surface, of martensite and bainite and, in the center, of ferrite and pearlite, and winding of the bar in the form of a compact coil by means of a coil winder ( 5 ). In the position wound on the coil, the bar cools slowly with tempering of the bainite and martensite formed on the surface. This is followed by a straightening stage, jo performed during the coil unwinding phase, and a natural ageing stage, maintaining the bar at ambient temperature.
