Abstract: Encoding and decoding of subtitle data is performed in real time. A buffer regulates a flow rate of the subtitle data to ensure that appropriate subtitles are superimposed on the correct video picture. In encoding, subtitles are generated in correspondence with a video picture. The subtitles are separately encoded and multiplexed with the video picture for transmission. Upon decoding, the subtitles are selected at a time which corresponds to display of the corresponding video picture. Since the subtitles are processed separately from the video data, the subtitles may be manipulated with great control, thus providing more flexibility in encoding and decoding.

Abstract: An intraluminal, crush-resistant stent for
implantation in a body lumen is disclosed. The crush-resistant
stent is made from a base section having a plurality of
resilient, parallel, coplanar struts having a zig-zag
configuration extending therefrom wherein the zig-zag struts
are curved and pass through corresponding slots in the base
section to form a continuous, cylindrical hoop. Each zig-zag
strut has an amplitude that decreases when the zig-zag strut is
placed under tension and an amplitude that increases when the
zig-zag strut is unstressed or is placed under compression.
Accordingly, each zig-zag strut can be pulled through the
respective slot in the base section, but under compression the
zig-zag struts assume the larger amplitude and cannot pass
through the corresponding slot thereby maintaining the diameter
of the stent constant.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to wireless networks, and particularly a method and
apparatus for assigning carrier frequencies to base station antenna sites. 
     Base stations are represented as a matrix of interconnected nodes and
links, the nodes representing carrier frequency sites and the links being
dimensioned in accordance with disallowed frequency slots. A first algorithm is
used to assign carrier frequencies to the carrier frequency sites in a non-interfering
manner resulting in a partial frequency assignment plan (3309). A
second algorithm assigns carrier frequencies to the remaining vacant carrier sites
in a manner which seeks to minimise the amount of interference. The order in
which the carrier sites are assigned carrier frequencies is determined by either a
random ordering, an order generated by simulated annealing, or an ordering
generated by a genetic algorithm. A quality measure is generated from the
resultant frequency plan (3411) and is used to modify the order in which the
frequencies are assigned to carrier site nodes in subsequent iterations.
