Abstract: Image encoding apparatus 10 according to the
present invention is an image encoding apparatus 10
for dividing image signals into blocks, performing an
orthogonal transform of each block, reading resultant
orthogonal transform coefficients to obtain a
coefficient string, and performing entropy coding,
which has block selector 14 for selecting a size of a
block for the orthogonal transform, out of a
plurality of blocks of different sizes; coefficient
string divider 12 for, when a block of a size larger
than a minimum size is selected by block selector 14,
dividing a coefficient string in the block into a
plurality of coefficient strings of a length equal to
that of a coefficient string in a block of the
minimum size; and encoder 13 for performing entropy
coding adapted to the coefficient string in the block
of the minimum size. This substantializes the image
encoding apparatus capable of achieving efficient
entropy coding in the orthogonal transform of
variable sizes.

Les filaments centraux (10) sont au nombre de trois à six et les filaments (11) de gaine de un à sept. La section transversale dudit câble pour armature de pneumatique est aplatie et délimitée par une ligne (21) extérieure ovale, laquelle est caractérisée par un axe principal et un axe secondaire. L'axe secondaire ne dépasse pas de préférence 60 % de l'axe principal, afin de créer la différence adéquate dans le module de liaison du câble pour armature de pneumatique dans le sens horizontal opposé au sens vertical.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système d'administration par guide d'onde et par rayonnement, qui est utilisé dans les applications topiques d'une traitement photodynamique. Dans une mode de réalisation préféré, ce système comprend un guide d'onde rectangulaire qui fournit un rayonnement électromagnétique à une feuille conductrice souple pouvant être moulée de façon à épouser les contours du site de traitement. Cette feuille est entourée par un matériau ou un film réfléchissant, à l'exception de la partie de la feuille en contact avec la zone de traitement. Cette partie est couverte d'une feuille semi-réfléchissante qui est au moins translucide pour les longueurs d'onde utilisées dans le traitement. Cette invention permet d'accroître la vitesse et l'efficacité de la procédure, en réduisant les pertes d'énergie dues à la réflexion par la surface de la peau. Elle augmente également la sécurité, en protégeant les zones sensibles du corps et elle est particulièrement utile pour les procédures touchant la tête et le cou. Dans d'autre modes de réalisation, on utilise un applicateur à vessie ou un applicateur rectangulaire conçu pour maintenir la fibre optique à une distance spécifiée du site de traitement.

Abstract: In turbine blades used as nozzle guide vanes 2, 12,

with respect to high lift vanes in that there may be
significant stagnation point migration about the pressure
surface 13, 21, 32 of that vane. In such circumstances,
appropriate positioning of coolant flow apertures 11, 24,

ridge 37 which limits the range of potential movement for
the stagnation point 30 whilst retaining improved lift for
higher engine performance. The present invention has
particular applicability with flows directed to the turbine
NGV which have a significantly variable swirl angle and
therefore presentation to the vane 31.
