Patent EP-0833518-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DE QUEIROZ RICARDO L
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1997-09-19
Abstract: An enhancement to the standard JPEG image data compression technique includes a step
of recording the length of each string of bits corresponding to each block of pixels in the original
image at the time of compression. The list of lengths of each string of bits in the compressed image
data is retained as an "encoding cost map" or ECM. The ECM, which is considerably smaller than
the compressed image data, can be transmitted or retained in memory separate from the
compressed image data along with some other accompanying information and is used as a "key" for
editing or segmentation of the compressed image data.

Inventor: LATAWIEC REGIS
IPC: H03M13/35
Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: The method provides an estimation of the acceptability or otherwise of blocks of information received via a transmission system, and includes use of a code based on several parameters relating to the quality of the transmission of information blocks. The first of these parameters (BER, LOGP) is liable to oscillate about a threshold value, between a state which is acceptable and one which is not acceptable when the transmission conditions begin to be degraded. There is a second parameter (CNOK) which offers two states, acceptable and un-acceptable, which are more stable. The procedure is based on the fact that when a preceding block is deemed acceptable, on waits until the second parameter is determined and found to be acceptable or un-acceptable in order to estimate whether the present block is un-acceptable.

Title: Method and apparatus for making a contoured opening cut in a poultry carcass
Inventor: TIELEMAN RUDOLF J
IPC: A22C21/06
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: Poultry carcasses hanging by their legs from a moving overhead conveying line are presented to corresponding carcass processing fixtures moving in a closed loop of travel around an upright axis. As each carcass is presented to its fixture, a holder on the fixture takes control of the carcass and stabilizes it with the breast facing outwardly. Once the carcass is stabilized, a knife on the fixture moves down into a previously prepared vent hole to a position slightly inside the body cavity. The knife then swings quickly outwardly to and beyond the sternum along an off-center, generally arched cutting path that runs much closed to one leg of the carcass than the other. The contour cut thus produced creates a single, disproportionally large tissue flap under the arch of the cut and on one side thereof which facilitates inspection and keeps the entire fat pad attached to one flap.

Abstract: A system and method for performing register renaming of source registers in a
processor having a variable advance instruction window for storing a group of
instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein a new instruction is added to
the variable advance instruction window when a location becomes available. A tag is
assigned to each instruction in the variable advance instruction window. The tag of
each instruction to leave the window is assigned to the next new instruction to be
added to it. The results of instructions executed by the processor are stored in a
temp buffer according to their corresponding tags to avoid output and anti-dependencies.
The temp buffer therefore permits the processor to execute
instructions out of order and in parallel. Data dependency checks for input
dependencies are performed only for each new instruction added to the variable
advance instruction window and register renaming is performed to avoid input
dependencies.

Abstract: The output level of pumping light supplied from a
pumping light source is varied using a variable
attenuator, which is controlled by a variable
attenuator driver circuit. By separating a portion
containing the pumping light source from a portion
containing an amplification medium, it becomes
possible to prevent heat emitted by the pumping light
source from adversely affecting the amplification
medium. By arranging the portion containing the
pumping light source such that a pumping light source
or sources can be added when necessary, optical
transmission system requirements of having more
pumping light sources for system upgrade can be
accommodated readily. By packaging portions
containing amplification media, an optical amplifier
can be made small.

Abstract: A control box is provided for a printer to enable
additional information processing, such as transmission
of a job and transmission of notifications. The
control box is fixed to a plate member that is
sandwiched between the printer and a pedestal, so that
it can be secured to the printer without drastically
altering the printer itself. As another method, wheels
are provided for the plate member on which is mounted
the control box. The control box is normally placed
beside the main body of the printer, and when it can be
moved as needed, a door or a tray provided on the side
of the main body can be used. An operating panel that
is used to enter an instruction for the control box is
fixed to one end of a flexible strut that is secured at
the other end. With this arrangement, pressure applied
by a user can be dispersed. Furthermore, the operating
panel is inclined so that it can be pivoted, and the
fixed portion of the strut is so designed that it is
destroyed by the application of excessive force, and in
this manner prevents the destruction of the entire
panel and the upsetting of the apparatus itself. In
addition, the control box and the operating panel are
connected by a multi-cable that is constituted by a
plurality of individually shielded associated signal
lines that are also collectively shielded. The multi-cable
is passed through the strut.
