Patent EP-1769755-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHELTON FREDRICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2006-09-28
Abstract: A surgical severing and stapling instrument clamps tissue in a staple applying assembly comprising a lower jaw of an elongate channel holding a staple cartridge and a pivotally opposed upper jaw (anvil). A firing handle drives a rack in a handle connected to a firing rod and bar that pass through an elongate shaft and into the staple applying assembly to sever and staple tissue. Upon release of the firing handle, a retraction spring assists in withdrawing the rack and other firing components. To advantageously assist in firing, a spring biased plunger is cocked prior to firing to impart assistance upon depression of the firing trigger. Alternatively, a torsion coil spring ratchet mechanism is preloaded to act through a gear into the rack to assist. As a further alternative, a retraction spring is preloaded and disengaged until the rack is fully fired.

Abstract: Disclosed is a video encoder and a method for coding a video data frame. The encoder of a video encoder checks overall capacity of video data frames to be encoded, and predicts the number of the P frames which are to be subsequently encoded according to the checked overall capacity by using mean capacity of P frames extracted from a previous GOP. The number of frames that will be skipped due to an overflow of a buffer is computed from the predicted number of the P frames according to available capacity of the buffer. The position of those frames that will be skipped is set not to be continuous according to the predicted number of the P frames and to the number of frames of the GOP. Furthermore, while coding of the video data frames is being performed, a video data frame chosen to be currently encoded is arranged in the same position as a frame to be skipped is arranged, coding of the video data frame is skipped. Herein, the skipped frames are determined, from among the video data frames, from I frames which become reference frames of other video data frames, or from P frames, except a first P frame, which becomes a reference frame of another video data frame. Accordingly, while essential reference frames (i.e., I and P frames) are being prevented from being skipped, consecutive frame skips are also prevented from occurring, and therefore the overall quality of pictures can be prevented from being degraded.
