Patent EP-1455536-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAGAWA AKIRA
IPC: H04N19/51
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: Video coding apparatus and decoding apparatus
capable of reproducing decoded pictures without
introducing unwanted noises, even if any considerable
difference in pixel values or discontinuity exists at a
certain block boundary. In a video coding apparatus
employing predictive techniques, a dequantizer and an
inverse DCT processor reproduce a prediction error signal
from quantized transform coefficients. Here, a first
resolution conversion unit (or downsampling unit) might
have subsampled the original prediction error signal to
reduce its picture resolution. If this is the case, a
second resolution conversion unit (or upsampling unit)
attempts to restore the original resolution of the
prediction error signal by applying an upsampling process
to the reproduced prediction error signal having the
reduced resolution. In this upsampling process, each new
pixel value in a certain block are calculated with
reference to some surrounding pixels. The upsampling
process, however, will not refer to the pixels belonging
to any adjacent blocks that are subject to another coding
scheme which is different from the coding scheme of the
present block of interest. As an alternate arrangement,
the upsampling process will entirely neglect the pixels in
any other blocks but will refer only to the present block.

Abstract: A technique is provided for processing an electronic document by one or more computer network components having network addresses in a computer network. Within the electronic document, a plurality of approval items are identified that require status manipulation operations within the electronic document. These approval objects are grouped together based on the properties of the approval items to form one or more approval objects. Thereafter, each approval object is associated with one or more computer network components based on the properties of the approval object so that each approval object may be routed to the network addresses of the associated computer network components for status manipulation processing. Depending on the results of the status manipulation processing, a follow-on data set may be generated for the electronic document and sent to one or more additional computer network components.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser 1 comprises a housing 2 and a hook 3 for suspending the housing 2
from the rim of a lavatory bowl. A user inserts a sealed inverted reservoir bottle 6 into
the housing 2, which breaks the seal. A porous pad 7 located in the housing 2 conveys
liquid from the bottle 6 to a position within the stream of flushing water. 
     The pad 7 can be adjusted to accommodate different lavatories and has two guide slots
which are engaged by two fingers in the housing which define two extreme positions of
the pad 7. 
     To allow venting of the bottle 6, small vent holes 14 are formed in the pad 7. 
     The pad may alternatively be a solid plate of the same shape but having a number of
raised holes or elongate slots. The plate may be have a venting post which mates with
the mouth of the bottle 6. 
     Venting may be achieved by providing an aperture in the bottle. The top of the bottle
may be provided with: a one-way valve; with a plug which seals the aperture, the
housing having a pin which bears on the plug and releases it into the bottle; a breakable
seal which covers the aperture, the housing being provided with a tube member which
seals the aperture; or a removable tab which covers the aperture and which is broken
away from the bottle prior to insertion, either by the user or, automatically, by a
projection within the housing.

Abstract: The interior surface of a long and narrow space such as the lumen (16) of an endoscope or catheter is cleaned by moving a liquid-filled, ultrasound-resonant cavity (14) through the interior space. An energy supply channel, such as an optical fibre (12), is connected between the cavity (14) and the outside of the object. Excitation energy is fed through the energy supply channel, with a power level that is modulated with a frequency that substantially corresponds to an ultrasound-resonance frequency of the cavity (14). The excitation energy is converted in the cavity (14) to pressure variations in the liquid in the cavity (14), so that an ultrasound standing wave is excited in the cavity (14). Ultrasound pressure variations are fed from the cavity (14) to the interior surface.
