Title: Method of preprocessing a digital data stream
Inventor: PAWSON DAVE
IPC: H04N21/472
Filed: 1996-07-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a digital video delivery system is provided. A digital representation of an audio-visual work, such as an MPEG file, is parsed to produce a tag file. The tag file includes information about each of the frames in the audio-visual work. During the performance of the audio-visual work, data from the digital representation is sent from a video pump to a decoder. Seek operations are performed by causing the video pump to stop transmitting data from the current position in the digital representation, and to start transmitting data from a new position in the digital representation. The information in the tag file is inspected to determine the new position from which to start transmitting data. To ensure that the data stream transmitted by the video pump maintains compliance with the applicable video format, prefix data that includes appropriate header information is transmitted by said video pump prior to transmitting data from the new position. Fast and slow forward and rewind operations are performed by selecting video frames based on the information contained in the tag file and the desired presentation rate, and generating a data stream containing data that represents the selected video frames. A video editor is provided for generating a new video file from pre-existing video files. The video editor selects frames from the pre-existing video files based on editing commands and the information contained in the tag files of the pre-existing video files. A presentation rate, start position, end position, and source file may be separately specified for each sequence to be created by the video editor.

Title: Method and apparatus for aligning a dead fish
Inventor: KAHRE HOLGER
IPC: A22C25/14
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: In order to sever heads of fish or, in the case of pre-decapitated fish collar bones remaining on the torso from the torso at a preset location (38) with a blade (11) whose cutting edge runs transversely to the orientation of the fish, the fish must be aligned relative to the blade's cutting plane (39). Since in known methods and apparatus and particularly regarding differing fish size difficulties occur in precisely engaging the fish for the purpose of displacing them as well as due to their deformation in obtaining the correct positioning, it is proposed that the fish be gripped in form-locking relationship at a dimensionally stable location such as the head by a movable positioning device (4) and displaced in a direction towards the cutting plane (39)until the preset location (38) lies in the cutting plane. To this end a positioning device (4) is provided which can be brought into form-locking engagement with a dimensionally stable location of the fish and which has a slide mechanism that aligns the fish. Thus alignment can be achieved automatically avoiding inaccuracies by an operator, on the one hand, and without any unwanted shifting of the cutting point which often occurs following elastic deformations of the fish body, on the other.
