Abstract: The invention relates to a picture compression process, especially of the MPEG2 type, in which each picture macroblock (10) is subjected to a coding chosen, for each macroblock, from among several types of coding. 
     In order to select the type of coding to be applied to the macroblock, the parameter MB_activ - α_Q, is determined, in which formula: 
   MB_activ has the following value
     
with:
     
Q is the quantization interval, and 
α is a predetermined parameter, for example equal to 1. 
     The mode of coding selected is that corresponding to a minimum value of the parameter MB_activ - α_Q.

Abstract: A distributed Voice Messaging System (DVMS) is disclosed. The DVMS may be
deployed by organizations having small branch offices for which a conventional PBX and VMS
would be prohibitively costly or have too large a capacity. Accordingly, a Message Taker
system (MTS) is disclosed which communicates with a conventional PBX or key system at a branch
office. The MTS is also in communication with a modified conventional central VMS through a
data network such as the internet. For each branch subscriber to the messaging services of the
central VMS, a voice mailbox (VMB) is provisioned at the central VMS and with their local
MTS. Greetings are recorded by the branch subscriber with the central VMS in the conventional
manner. These greetings are then "pushed" or transmitted, over the data network, to the branch
subscriber's VMB provisioned on the MTS. Callers to the branch subscriber receiving no
answer or a busy signal are forwarded to the MTS which plays the subscriber's greeting and
temporarily stores the caller's recorded message. Messages received by the MTS are transmitted
to the VMS over the data network, using perhaps the VPIM protocol, and deleted from the
MTS's memory. Messages are retrieved by all subscribers by contacting the VMS conventional.

Abstract: An engine performance map which specifies the relation between running conditions
and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is generated by estimating the BSFC
relative to the engine rotation speed and accelerator depression amount, based on
the BSFC characteristics predicted from the torque pattern of the vehicle being
analyzed and the optimum BSFC. A vehicle mounted unit 1 computes the BSFC of
the engine by looking up the engine performance map based on the engine rotation
speed and accelerator depression amount, and computes the fuel consumption rate
based on this BSFC.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for decreasing the amount of
data required to represent depth information for 3D images. In accordance
with one embodiment, depth information is represented by a piecewise
function Z(x,y). An (x,y) space is split into areas representing a region of
primitive, polygonal, or other shapes. For each of these regions, Z(x,y) is
defined as a simple parametric analytical function. Subsequently, only a few
parameters are required to encode this function in each region. By using these
parametric analytical functions to represent depth value of the split, the
present invention achieves advantages such as reductions in required storage
space and required bandwidth with a concomitant increase in processing
speed. Furthermore, the piecewise function may be linear or non-linear.

Abstract: A digital hearing aid is provided that includes front and rear microphones,
a sound processor, and a speaker. Embodiments of the digital hearing aid include
an occlusion subsystem, and a directional processor and headroom expander. The
front microphone receives a front microphone acoustical signal and generates a
front microphone analog signal. The rear microphone receives a rear microphone
acoustical signal and generates a rear microphone analog signal. The front and
rear microphone analog signals are converted into the digital domain, and at least
the front microphone signal is coupled to the sound processor. The sound
processor selectively modifies the signal characteristics and generates a processed
signal. The processed signal is coupled to the speaker which converts the signal
to an acoustical hearing aid output signal that is directed into the ear canal of the
digital hearing aid user. The occlusion sub-system compensates for the
amplification of the digital hearing aid user's own voice within the ear canal. The
directional processor and headroom expander optimizes the gain applied to the
acoustical signals received by the digital hearing aid and combine the amplified
signals into a directionally-sensitive response.
