Title: Perceptual error processing in color image predictive coding device
Inventor: KIM SEONG-JIN
IPC: H04N19/50
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: A perceptual error processing method and an image coding device which include a generator for generating a predictive error image from the difference between an original image of a present frame to be coded and a restored image of a previous frame. A coder is provided for coding the predictive error image through discrete cosine transform 15 and quantization 17, a former 19 forms the coded predictive error image into a bitstream after performing variable length coding and a decoder decodes the coded predictive error image through inverse quantization 27 and inverse discrete cosine transform 29. A predictor predicts the restored image of the previous frame by estimating and compensating a movement from the decoded predictive error image and a perceptual error processor 39 reconstructs the predictive error image into a preceptual error image composed of only the predictive error generating the perceptual color difference by using a perceptual color difference look-up table, and applies the same to the coder. In this way, the coding efficiency of the image can be improved by enhancing the temporal and spatial correlation between the image data without causing deterioration of picture quality of the restored image by applying the human color perception to a conventional image coding method.

Title: Reciprocating piston engine with Z-crank and adjustable piston stroke
Inventor: STOTT WILLIAM MAY
IPC: F02D15/02
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: By fitting an axial moving and tilting bearing 2,3 on to a rotary shaft 1, a variable stroke Z-crank mechanism is obtained. Axial movement of the bearing on the shaft moves the piston 9 axially in the cylinder and tilts the piston arm 5. The stroke of the engine may thus be varied steplessly from the maximum stroke to zero, while allowing the piston location to be adjusted in the cylinder. The compression ratio is thus maintained at the optimum value and throttling of the inlet charge is not needed, enabling the engine to operate more efficiently in the part-load condition. Piston and ring friction, heat loss to the cylinder wall and induction and pumping loads are reduced.

Patent IL-67963-A (IL)
Title: Powder for use in dry activation for electroless metallizing
IPC: C23C/
Filed: 1983-02-21
Abstract: A catalytically active powder, its preparation, and its use for activating insulating substrates to receive electrolessly deposited metal in a coherent metal layer are described. The powder of the invention comprises a plastic powder containing catalyzing/activating chemical compounds allowing that the acceleration of the catalyst is not carried out until the powder is melted down onto the substrate. The substrate need not be etched prior to the metallization since the plastic melted down ensures a good adhesion between metal and plastics and between plastics and substrate. Furthermore, the colloidal nature of the catalyzing compounds is stabilized in a particular and especially durable manner by the plastic powder. The use of the powder causes less risk to the environment since the catalyst may be applied as a dry powder, and since the etching of the substrate is avoided.
