Abstract: Une plaquette à accès par déchirure en plusieurs étapes à lépreuve des enfants possède au moins une cupule de produit contenant un produit. On accède au produit en déchirant la plaquette à partir dun bord périphérique vers la cupule de produit. Une étape supplémentaire au déchirement est nécessaire pour accéder au produit, élevant ainsi la compétence cognitive nécessaire pour accéder au produit à un niveau supérieur à celle dun petit enfant type. Dans le mode de réalisation illustratif décrit, létape supplémentaire comprend laffaiblissement dun canal résistant aux déchirures qui bloque une trajectoire de déchirure à partir du bord périphérique du paquet à la cupule de produit. Plus particulièrement, un déchirement initial du paquet vers la cupule de produit est interféré par la présence du canal résistant à la déchirure qui interrompt la trajectoire de déchirure. Le canal résistant à une déchirure peut être plié ou encliqueté pour permettre un déchirement au travers de celui-ci et permettre un déchirement continu de la plaquette vers la cupule de produit pour accéder au produit.

Filed: 2002-11-22
Abstract: According to the present invention, an image coding apparatus provides a run-length encoding unit RLE1 that subjects quantized coefficients which are obtained by quantizing frequency components of an image signal to a variable length coding process by using a run value Run that indicates the number of successive zero coefficients and a level value Lev that indicates a value of a non-zero coefficient following the zero coefficients. The run-length encoding unit RLE1 includes an reordering unit Lreodr for reordering level values Lev; a variable length coder LVLC for coding reordered level values ROLev by using a code table that is selected according to the value of a quantization parameter QP; a reordering unit Rreodr for reordering run values Run from high frequency component of the quantized coefficients to low frequency component;  and a variable length coder RVLC for coding reordered run values RORun by using a code table that is selected according to the number of already-processed run values.  Accordingly, a variable length coding process for quantized coefficients is carried out at a higher coding efficiency, with redundant information included in the coefficients being effectively reduced.
