Abstract: An adaptive postfiltering arrangement for decoding video images is
disclosed wherein the postfilter parameters used to control the strength of the
postfilter (235) are computed by the encoder (211) at the time the video images (220)
are encoded and are transmitted (on 212, 214) to the postfilter as side information
contained in the video image bitstream (on 213). The postfilter removes distortions
from decoded video images, derived as a result of DCT coefficient quantization
errors produced when the image is compressed for transmission to a decoder, and is
based on computation (on 212) of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), of one or more
components of encoded video images. Other information about image content, such
as face location information (on 214), can also be included in the side information
sent to the postfilter in the video image bitstream, to modulate the postfilter strength
according to the image content.

Abstract: An ink-jet printing system (10, 12, 14) and method are disclosed which convert
monitor-based RGB images to an image represented in CMYLcLmK, in which Lc is a
low-dye-load cyan and Lm is a low-dye-load magenta. The method provides a color cube
matrix in RGB color space, with a finite set of control points within this color cube (Fig.
3). Each control point has a corresponding set of parameters in the CMYLcLmK color
space. The control points provide transition points between use of high-dye-load inks
and low-dye-load inks to enhance the color image, especially in areas where high-dye-load
inks would cause graininess. Based on this set of control point an interpolation is
made to arrive at CMYLcLmK parameters of any point in the cube.

Abstract: A Mach Zehnder (MZ) modulator with improved
coupling of input and output fibers is provided. The MZ
modulator combines the advantages of weakly guided input
sections (280) with strongly guided sections (214) to optimize the
coupling efficiency and selectivity of the device. 
Improved coupling between weakly and strongly guided
sections of waveguide is provided by an intermediate
tapered waveguide section (290) which provides gradually changing
mode confinement, which reduces the mode mismatch loss and
therefore suppresses the relection at the junction between
the weakly and strongly guided sections of the waveguide.

Abstract: A mobile communication system and mobile communication
method are capable of avoiding call-interruption while calling
attention of the user who calls to be moved before entering
transmission-stop zone. In the mobile communication method, it
causes a base station ID to be received while retrieving all
frequencies (step 11), thus judging whether or not there
exists base station ID of "transmission-stop" instruction
(step 12). When there is the base station ID of the
"transmission-stop" instruction, it is judged that a mobile
station exists in a transmission control zone, it comes into
a state in which transmission is stopped, before coming into
reception state (step 17). While when there is no the base
station ID of the "transmission-stop" instruction, it is
judged that a mobile station exists out of a transmission
control zone (step 13), thus being selected a transmission
destination (step 14). There is judged whether or not warning
information is incorporated in base station ID of the
transmission destination base station (step 15). When the
warning information exists, the warning information/warning
sound is generated (step 18), followed by shifting to normal
operation (step 16). While when no warning information exists
in the base station ID of the transmission destination,
transmission is started to the transmission destination base
station while shifting to the normal operation (step 16).

Abstract: An ink containment and dispensing device for an ink-jet
printer is provided with a main reservoir in the form
of a flexible pouch (14), which is typically maintained at
ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a
variable volume chamber (36) via a one-way valve (42) which allows
the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and
prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the
reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet (20),
which is normally closed to prevent the flow of outward
ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a
printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection
between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part
of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be
actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer.
The pump has a linearly acting pumping member (18) and a
flexible diaphragm that overlies the pumping member, the
diaphragm being impervious to the transmission of oxygen
and moisture therethrough to prevent degradation of the
ink within the chamber.
