Abstract: A first sounding mechanism, which issues sound when a spool (4) rotates relative to spool shaft (15), is furnished with a sound-emitting member (81), a pawl member (82), and a plate spring (83). The sound-emitting member (81) is non-rotatably mounted on the spool shaft, and has multiple jags (81b) radially jutting on its outer periphery. The pawl member has a body portion pivotably mounted on the spool; the pawl portion formed on the spool-shaft side of the swing center (SC); and an arcuate contact face (82c) formed on the body portion on a side of the swing center (SC) opposite the spool shaft. A first-side radius (R1) of the contact face, is smaller than its second-side radius (R2). The plate spring is mounted on the spool at an end nearer the first side of contact-face, and contacts the contact face at the other end, urging the pawl portion of pawl member to collide with the sound-emitting member. In a spinning-reel sounding device having a pawl member, the tone fluctuations due to spool rotational direction are controlled. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a method to compress digital moving pictures or video signals based on an overcomplete basis transform using a modified Matching Pursuit algorithm. More particularly, this invention focuses on the efficient coding of the motion residual image, which is generated by the process of motion estimation and compensation. A residual energy segmentation algorithm (RESA) can be used to obtain an initial estimate of the shape and position of high-energy regions in the residual image. A progressive elimination algorithm (PEA) can be used to reduce the number of matching evaluations in the matching pursuits process. RESA and PEA can speed up the encoder by many times for finding the matched basis from the pre-specified overcomplete basis dictionary. Three parameters of the matched pattern form an atom, which defines the index into the dictionary and the position of the selected basis, as well as the inner product between the chosen basis pattern and the residual signal. The present invention provides a new atom position coding method using quad tree like techniques and a new atom modulus quantization scheme. A simple and efficient adaptive mechanism is provided for the quantization and position coding design to allow a system according to the present invention to operate properly in low, medium and high bit rate situations. These new algorithm components can result in a faster encoding process and improved compression performance over previous matching pursuit based video coders.
