Abstract: Methods and encoders and decoders for adaptively quantizing transform domain coefficients in image and/or video encoding/decoding. For an image having a number of blocks, each block having N coefficients, the quantization step size for each coefficient is selected dynamically, thus resulting in a quantizer that may apply different step sizes to different coefficients. The selected step sizes for each coefficient are used for those coefficients within all blocks in the image/frame. In one aspect, the step sizes are selected on the basis of balancing pixel domain distortion when the image/frame is decoded.

Title: Attachment system for ratchet type wrenches
Inventor: BROVOLD THOMAS EMIL
IPC: B25B13/52
Filed: 2009-08-24
Abstract: A drive system cooperating with the drive mechanism of a ratchet wrench enables a user to use the wrench for its intended purpose and also spin the drive at high speed by pulling an endless belt. The belt is contained in a manner which causes structures on the belt to engage with exposed gear teeth of the ratchet wrench or an attachment. The containment structure provides for proper alignment and positioning of the belt to allow for the desired engagement with the drive teeth even after the user releases grip from the belt. The containment structure further allows an opposite end of the belt to hang loose and thus be easily accessible by a user. The drive system can be used on a socket ratchet without exposed teeth by adding gear teeth to a ratchet drive member or socket either permanently, as an added part or as an extension to the socket ratchet or socket.
