Abstract: The invention relates to recombinant vectors, expression cassettes, and nucleic
acids, the use of which enables the expression of multiple transgenes from a single
vector. Preferably, the vectors are plasmids, adeno-associated virus, or adenovirus
vectors that can be used to infect and create mammalian cells in order to express multiple
transgenes. Typically, expression systems and methods for expressing multiple
transgenes require the use of more than one vector or the use of an internal ribosome
entry site (IRES). For a number of reasons, the new vectors, expression cassettes,
nucleic acids, and methods of the invention provide advantages over these other
expression systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for Video Buffer Verifier (VBV) underflow and overflow control. A combination of picture and slice level control is used in the method and apparatus. Improved prevention of overflow and panic mode encoding is achieved by means of adjustment of the virtual buffer-fullness which allows the quantization-step to have an improved response to the buffer-fullness at both high and low critical levels. The use of a non-linear quantization scheme and customised quantization matrices also provide improved prevention of panic mode encoding. The slice level control also reduces the computation complexity compared to the macroblock level control.

Abstract: An error concealment method is for improving the speech signal quality at the receiving end in speech transmission systems is described particularly, it relates to a method of receiving speech signals which have been encoded through speech parameters before transmission via a transmission channel, the method comprising an error detection step, using parameter statistics, of detecting corrupted parameters among received parameters and a speech decoding step of decoding the received parameters and retrieving the transmitted speech signal. Depending on the calculation process performed by the speech coder for generating the speech parameters, a pitch doubling / halving of the parameter values may occur during speech parameter coding. Although this phenomenon has no consequence for the received signal quality, it may cause a misdetection by error concealment methods using parameter statistics. According to the invention, the error detection step performs a pitch doubling / halving detection to verify if received speech parameters, which occur to have a value within a range relatively far beyond previous received parameters, are really corrupted, or if this different range simply results from a pitch doubling / halving of the parameter values produced during speech parameter coding.
