Patent EP-1164590-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIMURA HAJIME
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2001-06-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to an information
playback apparatus, an information-recording method and
an information-recording medium. For example, the present
invention can be applied to an optical-disc drive and a
magnetic-disc drive such as a hard-disc drive for
recording video data. 
     To be more specific, when playback data including a
bit error difficult to correct is detected, or when a an
access is made to a defective sector, recognizable dummy
data (DM) is used as a substitute for the playback data
supposed to be read out from the defective sector. 
     As a result, error recovery processing can be
carried out with a high degree of efficiency when
priority is given to continuity of output data.

Title: System and method for encoding/decoding data using multi-stage vector quantisation
Inventor: QIAN SHEN-EN
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2001-11-21
Abstract: The present method relates to a method for encoding image data using vector
quantisation. According to the invention, a small first codebook is determined. Each
image vector of the image data is then encoded by determining a codevector within the
first codebook that best approximates the image vector within the image data. A first
index map is generated by replacing each image vector with an index indicative of the
codevector's location within the first codebook. Then difference data are evaluated
based on the original image data and the encoded image data. Each error vector of the
difference data is then encoded using another small codebook. In another index map the
error vectors are then replaced with an index indicative of the codevector's location
within the other codebook. Evaluation of the error based on the difference data and the
encoded difference data provides new difference data which is used to evaluate the
fidelity of the approximation process performed for compression. The steps of encoding
of the difference data are repeated until a control error of the difference data is smaller
than a given threshold.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing mechanical planarization of a sequential build up substrate for an integrated circuit package. A planarization plate is placed in contact with an uneven external surface of a dielectric layer that covers underlying functional circuit elements and filler circuit elements. A heating element in the planarization plate flattens protruding portions of the external surface of the dielectric layer to create a flat external surface on the dielectric layer. After the flat external surface of the dielectric layer has cooled, it is then covered with a metal conductor layer. The method of the present invention increases the number of sequential buildup layers that may be placed on a sequential buildup substrate.
