Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for encoding and decoding
transform coefficients are disclosed. An digital image (102) is input to a transform
block (110), which preferably employs a discrete wavelet transform. A bit
rearrangement block (120) codes bit sequences representing resulting transform
coefficients (112) in an efficient fashion. The bit arrangement block (120) selects a
portion of the coefficients as a region (200). The significance of each bitplane of the
region (200) is scanned from most towards least significant bitplanes, and first and
second tokens are provided for each insignificant and significant bitplanes until
determining a significant bitplane. This region is then partitioned into subregions (210-216),
which are each set as the selected region. This processing is repeated until a
minimum bit level is reached, or the selected region has a specified size. The
coefficients of specified-size regions (200-216) are coded and provided in a coded
representation (122).

Abstract: A system and method for maintaining alignment between a source and router in
a Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) fiber optic network. In a preferred
embodiment, a narrow band of the wavelengths emitted by the WDM source is
designated as a monitor channel. The monitor channel is matched in wavelength to a
fiber grating that is located in the optical path between the source and router so that the
grating reflects the monitor channel light while allowing all other source light to pass
through unimpeded. By monitoring the reflected light and adjusting the source
wavelengths to maximize the amount of reflected light, alignment between the source
and router is maintained.

Inventor: HEALEY PAUL
IPC: E04F15/02
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: The application discloses an edging strip (10) for use in a flooring system of the
type in which an existing floor (a "base floor") (52) extending up to a wall (56) on at
least one edge is covered with a solid layer the top surface of which
provides a new floor, comprising a horizontal planar strip (12) adapted to lie on
the base floor (52) beneath the floor layer adjacent a wall (56), an upstanding support
extending generally upwardly from the planar strip (12), and a pair of resiliently
deformable sealing strips (20',22') extending from the support in generally opposed
directions and adapted, when installed, to seal against the wall (56) and the floor
layer respectively. Thus, according to the present invention, a strip (10) can be
fitted in place on the base floor (52) and the floor layer then installed such that
the planar strip (12) is trapped beneath the floor layer but the sealing strips (20',22')
provide a continuous seal from the wall (56) to the floor layer. This seal
preferably comprises a smooth outer surface which gives a neat appearance.
The installation process is also very much more straightforward. The
horizontal planar strip (12) preferably includes a plurality of divisions extending
from an edge thereof towards the support. This makes it easier for the
planar strip (12) to be bent to conform to the shape of an imperfect wall. In a
preferred form of the invention, the upstanding support of the edging strip (10)
includes at least one resilient spacing lip extending laterally therefrom. This
spacing lip allows the strip (10) to be fitted with the correct spacing between it
and the wall (56) or between it and the floor layer. It is particularly preferred if
there is a spacing strip on either side of the upstanding support. This allows
the correct spacing to be obtained easily between both the floor layer and
the wall (56). The spacing lip or lips preferably extend at a generally oblique
angle to the upstanding support, thereby to provide some resilience.
Alternatively, or in addition, the lips can be curved to provide a similar
effect.

Abstract: A dam (17) has a plurality of substantially
parallel ribs (26,27) extending from a base surface. At
least one of the ribs is formed of a body (29) of metal
having a coating (30) as its exterior surface, which has
a low coefficient of friction over which sheets of a
media move. The body has a longitudinal slot (34) in
its exterior surface. An insert (35), which has a high
coefficient of friction with sheets of a media and is
preferably polyurethane, is supported within the body.
The insert is preloaded so that a projection (36)
extends a predetermined distance through the slot in the
body for engagement with each advancing sheet. When the
sheet is stiff, the projection is pushed inwardly of the
body so that the low coefficient of friction surface
(30), which has a much larger area for engaging the
sheet than the insert, is engaged by the advancing
sheet. When the sheet is flexible, the projection (36)
of the insert engages the advancing edge of the sheet so
that only the high coefficient of friction insert
initially engages the advancing sheet so as to cause it
to buckle or become corrugated so that portions of the
sheet engage the low coefficient of friction exterior
surface of the body to separate the sheet from the next
adjacent sheet in the stack.

Abstract: In an outboard marine drive, a primary partition (18) made of elastomeric
material is provided in a lower part of the extension case (6), and a drive shaft (5) and an
exhaust pipe (17) are sealingly passed through the primary partition (18). Thereby, the
extension case (6) is kept out of direct contact from the exhaust gas, and is therefore
prevented from excessive heating. The exhaust pipe and the drive shaft typically
have a large length, and it is advantageous to support them at parts thereof near a
lower end thereof. The use of elastomeric material for the primary partition (18) is
particularly advantageous because it not only can favorably insulate heat but also
can accommodate any positional errors in the exhaust pipe and the drive shaft
relative to the extension case. When a secondary opening is formed in an upper
part of the exhaust pipe to prevent excessive build up of exhaust back pressure
when the engine is idling, a secondary partition may also be provided in an upper
part of the extension case.
