Patent EP-1173027-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FARYAR ALIREZA FARID
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing near lossless-concatenated  N -level
constrained quantization Hadamard transform decoding are provided. Accordingly, the
present invention provides a transform-based coding technique, where the coding loss
introduced during repeated encoding and decoding is reduced to a substantially
insignificant level. This is accomplished by employing a constrained quantization and
inverse quantization operation in each level of encoding/decoding in the decoder. In
this manner, the concatenation error between each level of a decoder is reduced to a
substantially minimum level and the quantization error introduced during quantization
operations, i.e., originally at the encoder and in each level of the decoder, is
substantially reduced. Thus, the decoded bit stream that is output at the  N -th level of
the decoder is substantially the same as the original bit stream provided to the input of
the encoder.

Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of an internet
capability as a function of a broadcast data receiver included
in or connected to a display screen as part of a television set.
The display screen of the television set is used to display a
series of user selected internet window display but can only
display one internet window at a time, typically of a page
from a website, at a time. However several window displays
can be open and available for user selection for display at any
time. In accordance with the invention an information display
is generated and displayed on screen which allows
information identifying each of the display windows available
for user selection to be shown to the user and, in one
embodiment, selected from the display screen using the
broadcast data receiver remote control facility.

IPC: H04R1/00

Abstract: An audio path is constructed to include a multi-bit sigma-delta converter for converting
an N-bit digital input to an n-bit output representing an over-sampled, lower resolution
n-bit version of the N-bit digital input; a formatter for converting the n-bit output to an
m signal output (e.g., as a thermometer code, a SDM format or a PWM format); an m-by-m
switching matric for receiving the m output signals and for reordering the m
output signals, m class-D drivers individual ones of which are driven by one of the
reordered m output signals for driving one of m speakers; and a dynamic element
matching (DEM) block coupled to the switching matric for controlling the reordering
of the m output signals driving the m class-D drivers for spreading the distortion due at
least to driver-speaker pair mismatch to wide band noise. The DEM may operate to
generate white noise, or it may generate shaped (colored) noise.

Abstract: The cathode for photo-electron emission 5 is comprised
of an alkali metal containing layer 5d made of material for
emitting photo-electrons by the entry of light or for
emitting secondary electrons by the entry of electrons, such
as particles which consist of an alkali antimony compound,
on an Ni electrode substrate 5c on which an Al layer 5b is
deposited, and has an intermediate layer 5a made of carbon
nano-tubes between the alkali metal containing layer 5d and
the Ni electrode substrate 5c, therefore the defect density
inside the particles is decreased, and the recombining
probability of electrons and holes drops remarkably, which
improves the quantum efficiency.

Abstract: Resin thin films (12) and metal thin films (11a, 11b) are layered in
alternation. The metal thin films are set back from the peripheral edges of
the resin thin films (12). Via holes (13a, 13b) penetrating the layered
product in the layering direction are formed and filled with conductive
material (14a, 14b). The conductive material (14a, 14b) electrically
connects the metal thin films (11a, 11b) among one another. The metal thin
films are not exposed at the periphery, so that corrosion of the metal thin
films is not likely to occur. Furthermore, cutting of the metal thin films
during the manufacturing process is avoided.

Abstract: A first sequence [SQ1] of data blocks [DB1-*] and a second sequence [SQ2] of data blocks [DB2-*] are encoded. The second sequence [SQ2] of data blocks [DB2-*] is correlated with the first sequence [SQ1] of data blocks [DB1-*]. This may concern, for example, an encoding of stereoscopic (3D) video. The first sequence [SQ1] of data blocks [DB1-*] is encoded in such a manner that certain data blocks serve as a reference [REF] for predictively encoding [PE] the other data blocks in the first sequence [SQ1]. The second sequence [SQ2] of data blocks [DB2-*] is encoded in such a manner that all data blocks [DB2-*] are predictively encoded [PE] with respect to those data blocks [DB1-*] in the first sequence [SQ1] which serve as a reference [REF]. For example, in a stereoscopic (3D) video encoding application, left-eye video frames are MPEG-encoded as if they belonged to an ordinary, non-stereoscopic video signal and right-eye video frames are all B-encoded with respect to I and P-encoded left-eye video frames, or vice versa. At the decoding end a relatively small memory will be sufficient for the purpose of decoding.

Abstract: A suspension system for supporting fore- and aft extending frame members of a vehicle chassis on a hollow axle, the system on one side of the vehicle being duplicated on the opposite side. Included in the suspension on each side are: (1) a frame bracket for pivotally supporting the fore or leading end of an asymmetric leaf spring; (2) a spring end support mounted on the frame side member for supporting the aft or trailing end of the leaf spring, and (3) a suitable assembly for attaching the leaf spring at a location intermediate its opposite ends to the axle so that the spring is divided into two cantilever limbs extending in opposite directions from the center line of the axle. The spring is formed so that one of the cantilever limbs has a stiffness substantially greater than the stiffness of the other limb. In all forms, at least one leaf of the asymmetric spring extends the full length of the spring. In one particular form the spring has a shorter leaf with an end portion extending over the axle with an air spring mounted either directly over the axle or on one side of the axle. Instead of having two leafs, the asymmetric spring may be formed as a tapered convolute single-leaf spring.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a sheet of paper comprising at least two crimped cotton-wool-like cellulose plies (20, 40). It consists in: unwinding a first ply (20) in the form of a strip from a reel, embossing it on an embossing unit (10, 12) and forming protuberances at its surface, unwinding a second ply (40) in the form of a strip from a reel, guiding it downstream of the embossing unit (10, 12), superposing the two strips, with their protuberances facing inwards, and in applying a linking means (14, 16) so as to make the two strips integral with each other. Said method is characterised in that immediately upstream of said linking means (14, 16), a tension regulating means (18) is applied in the machine direction on one of the strips, such that the two strips have the same elastic deformation in the machine direction when the linking means is applied. The invention also concerns a product obtained by said method.
