Abstract: In one embodiment, the pixels of a digital image are examined, one at a time. The color of the examined pixel is compared to that of its neighbors. If the difference (2040) in color from either of the neighboring pixels is below a threshold (2050, 2060), the color of the neighbor that is closer to the color of the examined pixel is copied (2080, 2090) to the examined pixel. If neither of the neighbors is close enough in color, the color of the examined pixel is unchanged (2100). The pixels are examined in a single pass. After each pixel has been examined, and possibly changed, the compressibility of the image using a dictionary-based technique, such as one of the Lempel-Ziv techniques, is typically improved.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reliably control chip, particularly that produced in
profiling. To achieve this, rake faces are formed on polygon faces of an insert in the form
of a polygonal plate shape, and a pair of cutting edges extending respectively from corner
parts of the polygon faces are formed on a ridge part of the polygon faces, and each of the
rake faces is gradually inclined as it becomes farther away from the cutting edge, and a
land formed along the cutting edge, is inclined so that it gradually sinks as it become
farther away from the cutting edge at an angle of inclination smaller than a rake angle, and
angles of inclination of these rake face and land are made smaller in the direction to
separate from a tip of the corner part along the cutting edge, and a main convex being a
convex spherical face shape is formed at intervals between the cutting edges, on the corner
part C, and at least one pair of sub convexes being a convex spherical face shape is also
formed respectively at positions away from this main convex, along the pair of cutting
edges.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé, un dispositif terminal mobile et un système permettant de déterminer un facteur de puissance de transmission. Cette invention concerne également des outils logiciels et des programmes informatiques basés sur des modes de réalisation dudit procédé. Au cours d'une transmission ascendante de données entre un dispositif terminal mobile et une station de base par le biais d'un système AMRC (accès multiple par répartition de code) à demande de répétition automatique (ARQ), des premières transmissions contenant des données d'origine et retransmissions d'ordre différent contenant des informations supplémentaires sont effectuées. Les n-ièmes retransmissions sont basées sur la demande de répétition automatique (ARQ). Le facteur de puissance de transmission à déterminer peut être utilisé avec une n-ième retransmission. Une première et une seconde quantité d'erreurs sont obtenues à partir d'une évaluation d'éléments d'information d'état reçus en fonction de la demande de répétition automatique (ARQ). La première quantité d'erreurs est égale à un nombre de n-ièmes retransmissions relatives à l'ARQ alors que la seconde quantité est égale à un nombre de n-ièmes retransmissions auxquelles répondent des éléments d'information d'état contenant chacun un élément de non confirmation de réception relatif à l'ARQ. Les première et seconde quantités d'erreurs permettent de déduire un n-ième taux d'erreur en fonction duquel un facteur de correction de puissance de transmission est calculé. Enfin, le facteur de puissance de transmission utilisable avec les n-ièmes retransmissions est déterminé à partir d'un facteur de puissance de transmission valide courant et du facteur de correction de puissance de transmission calculé.

Abstract: A data communication method, a data transmitting apparatus, a data receiving
apparatus, and a data transmission program are provided which do not cause the problem
of jitter being generated by a combination of a 1-bit noise shaping A/D converter and
on-off keying using infrared rays. In a data transmitting apparatus, analog signals
comprising voice or music or signals obtained by digitizing these are converted using a
noise shaping method into non-return-to-zero digital signals formed by 1-bit data streams.
For converted digital signals of "1", return-to-zero signals having a pulse width smaller
than that of non-return-to-zero signals are generated and are
converted into radio signals and transmitted. For converted digital signals of "0",
return-to-zero signals allocated a low level are converted into radio signals and
transmitted. A data receiving apparatus receives these radio signals and drives a
sound output section to output sound signals.
