Abstract: A method for encoding and decoding media signals, includes the operations of generating at a transmitting side multiple descriptions associated to data of the media signals through a downsampling operation (DS) performed on the data, and decoding at a receiving side the multiple descriptions for reconstructing the data by merging (US) the multiple descriptions. The operation of generating multiple descriptions further includes the operations of obtaining a spectral representation (S) of the data, comprising bands (LS, MS HS) associated to different ranges ((LR, MR HR), the bands (LS, MS HS) being obtained by a suitable quantization operation and comprising at least one highly quantized band (HS), that is subjected to a higher degree of quantization. A scrambling operation (SC, SC') is performed on the spectral representation (S) by moving the at least one highly quantized band (HR) to a different range (LR, MR), the scrambling operation being performed prior the downsampling operation (DS). In decoding, a descrambling operation (DS, DS') is performed before the merging (US) operation on the multiple descriptions. Preferred application is in coding of video signals by using polyphase downsampling (PDMD).

Abstract: A suture tape construct is made of braided high strength surgical suture
material. A length of round braided suture extends along the entire length of the suture
tape. A middle portion of the suture tape features a flat braid added to the round
braided suture. The suture is incorporated centrally into the flat braid, providing a
backbone to the construct. Transition sections at either end of the flat braid are tapered
to allow the suture tape to pass easily through openings during surgical procedures.
The suture tape is a braided construction of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene
fiber blended with fibers of one or more long chain synthetic polymers, preferably
polyester. The suture tape is indicated for high demand orthopedic repairs such as
arthroscopic reconstruction for acromioclavicular joint separation, for example. The
broad footprint of the suture tape is appropriate for repairs in degenerative cuff tissue
where tissue pull-through may be a concern.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved method and apparatus for simultaneously performing
tests on several devices (135) at the same time. An aspect of one embodiment of the invention is
an improved DMA controller (110) that automatically selects certain pin groups, which are
connected to a common data bus (120), to receive test data words from a common data bus. By
selecting more than one pin group at the same time, test data (such as a test data word) can be
simultaneously loaded onto multiple pin cards (115) at the same time. By loading this data into
multiple pin cards (115) at the same time, test data can be "fanned-out" to multiple pin cards
(115) and thereby be sent to multiple device sites at the same time. Another aspect of one
embodiment of the invention utilizes DMA-based hardware to select which pin groups should
received "fanned-out" test data. By utilizing DMA-based hardware to fan-out the test data, the
software-based test programs and patterns may be created to manipulate a single device. The
test program may select the number of sites to be tested and partition the tester resources to those
sites. The DMA-based hardware and tester software will automatically fan-out the test data to
all of the appropriate test sites.
