Abstract: This method and apparatus described herein imposes masking factors to the determined quantization step sizes of macroblocks of a video sequence such that encoding efficiency is increased. A conditional masking method can be used to take advantage of the fact that P-pictures are more important than B-pictures in terms of motion and scene updates as coding noise in such updates are likely propagated by P-pictures. The masking can be applied conditionally to motion/scene update regions of a picture such that coding noise is reduced and therefore bits are saved from less propagation of this noise. Before encoding each macroblock of a picture from an input video sequence, a video encoder with conditional masking determines if the macroblock type belongs to a significant motion or scene update region. A conditional masking factor is then determined for the macroblock based on the determined macroblock type and the picture coding type. The conditional masking factor is combined with a macroblock reference quantization step-size which may be calculated using conventional methods based on bit allocation and bit utilization, and an optional activity masking factor based on activity level of the macroblock and/or its surrounding region to form the final quantization step-size for coding of the macroblock.

IPC: A61K31/335
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided compositions and methods useful for the in vivo delivery of substantially water insoluble pharmacologically active agents (such as the anticancer drug paclitaxel) in which the pharmacologically active agent is delivered in the form of suspended particles coated with protein (which acts as a stabilizing agent). In particular, protein and pharmacologically active agent in a biocompatible dispersing medium are subjected to high shear, in the absence of any conventional surfactants, and also in the absence of any polymeric core material for the particles. The procedure yields particles with a diameter of less than about 1 micron. The use of specific composition and preparation conditions (e.g., addition of a polar solvent to the organic phase), and careful selection of the proper organic phase and phase fraction, enables the reproducible production of unusually small nanoparticles of less than 200 nm diameter, which can be sterile-filtered. The particulate system produced according to the invention can be converted into a redispersible dry powder comprising nanoparticles of water-insoluble drug coated with a protein, and free protein to which molecules of the pharmacological agent are bound. This results in a unique delivery system, in which part of the pharmacologically active agent is readily bioavailable (in the form of molecules bound to the protein), and part of the agent is present within particles without any polymeric matrix therein.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is
divided into two, first and second, data streams. The
signal points are divided into signal point groups to which
data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of
the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of
each signal point group. A difference in the transmission
error rate between the first and second data streams is
developed by shifting the signal points to other positions
in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first
and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a
received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is
divided by a transmitter into two, low and high, frequency
band components which are designated as a first and a second
data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a
receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component
or both the low and high frequency band components, depending
on its capability.

vapour is cooled and solidified by mixing with a cooling
fluid such as liquid ammonia. The melamine vapour is
