Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring blocking artefacts on the basis of video data encoded in accordance with a block encoding technique. This method comprises a step of computing a monodimensional inverse discrete transform (31) of a first row of a first block of encoded video data, suitable for supplying a value of a first virtual border pixel (vep1). It also comprises a step of computing a monodimensional inverse discrete transform (32) of a first row of a second block of encoded video data, the second block being adjacent to the first block, suitable for supplying a value of a second virtual border pixel (vep2). Finally, the method comprises a step of computing (33) a blocking artefact level (VEP-L) on the basis of an absolute value of the difference between the values of the first and second virtual pixels. This method finds its application, for example, in video encoders, decoders and transcoders.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is directed to pulp fibers suitable for forming a wet-laid paper product which include amino-functionality which is non-extractable in an aqueous phase. The pulp fibers may be prepared by applying (35a, 35b, 35c) an amino-functional additive to a fibrous web (33, 36) prior to the finishing operation at a pulp mill. The fibrous web (33, 36) may then be repulped at a papermaking machine (38) to form a paper web (64) which includes the amino-functionalized fibers of the present invention. A paper web formed of the amino-functionalized fibers may display unique and/or improved reactivity toward certain papermaking additives. For instance, the paper webs of the disclosed invention may show dry tensile strength increases of greater than 40 % when treated with a permanent wet strength agent such as a polyamine epichlorohydrin wet strength agent, whereas a paper web which does not include the amino-functionalized fibers of the present invention may show less than a 20 % increase in strength properties when treated with the same strength agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for retreading worn-down tires (12), especially tires that have become out of true during use, especially aircraft tires. According to this method, the remaining tire tread material is equidistantly buffed relative to the upper carcass lining (26a). According to the invention, the equidistant buffing is automatized and the time required therefor is substantially shortened by optically displaying positions on the tire tread (17) in the tire circumference for the control notches (19) to be produced therein. The notches (19) produced therein are automatically measured and the measured data obtained are evaluated to determine the surface roughness settings for the roughening tool (8) to be controlled correspondingly. The corresponding device (1) is characterized by a first optical device (14, 15) for repeatedly displaying an optical mark (16, 20, 21) on the tire (12) to determine positions for control notches (19) to be produced therein, a second optical device (18) for automatically measuring the control notches (19) produced and a programmable computer (24) for evaluating the measured data of the second optical device (18) and for determining surface roughness settings for the mechanical roughening tool (8) on the basis of said data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a quick attach and detach mechanism for a tool attachment such as a router attachment for a router. The attachment system includes a mounting adapter which may be integrally formed with the router housing or attached to the router housing as a bolt-on plate. The system works by vertically installing the tool attachment with the mounting adapter and then twisting to secure the tool attachment to the mounting adapter. A rotational lock is provided to prevent the tool attachment from inadvertently backing off or coming loose. This lock can be manually actuated to allow for quick detachment when desired. The tool attachment system is shown in association with a router which has several disclosed benefits, however there may also be applications of the system in other types of tool attachments for which coverage is also sought.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un joint utilisé pour assembler et fixer les extrémités de tubes aux extrémités d'équipements. Ce joint permet d'éviter que le tube ne soit extrait de l'équipement et se caractérise par le fait qu'il peut être utilisé pour différents diamètres de tubes. Le joint est composé d'une série de pièces individuelles, mordantes, unies entre elles par une série de pièces de couplage flexibles, fixées dans des espaces situés sur les côtés des pièces mordantes. Les pièces mordantes ont un profil triangulaire, irrégulier. La face inférieure des pièces mordantes comporte une série de dents permettant d'éviter que les tubes soient tirés vers l'extérieur. Pour adapter le joint aux différents diamètres de tubes, il suffit d'ajuster les pièces de couplage pour réduire l'espace situé entre les pièces mordantes, soit en déformant une partie de la tige de la pièce de couplage, soit en enfonçant les pièces de couplage un peu plus dans les pièces mordantes.

Abstract: In order to maintain the integrity of data stored in a flash memory that are susceptible to being disturbed by operations in adjacent regions of the memory, disturb events cause the data to be read, corrected and re-written before becoming so corrupted that valid data cannot be recovered. The sometimes conflicting needs to maintain data integrity and system performance are balanced by deferring execution of some of the corrective action when the memory system has other high priority operations to perform. In a memory system utilizing very large units of erase, the corrective process is executed in a manner that is consistent with efficiently rewriting an amount of data much less than the capacity of a unit of erase.
