Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: H04N19/63
Filed: 1996-12-24
Abstract: In a video signal encoding method and apparatus, a video
signal transmitting method, and the recording medium, hierarchical
encoding of image data implies problems in that a compressing
efficiency is reduced as the number of hierarchical levels is
increased and that the image quality is degraded particularly in
lower-level hierarchical images. After data D31, D33, D35 at
respective hierarchical levels are generated by an average value
calculation, pixel data which can be restored by arithmetic
operations using pixel data at adjacent higher hierarchical levels
and pixel data at their own hierarchical levels are thinned, and
higher-level hierarchical data are compressively coded with larger
numbers of quantization bits. Since the amount of pixel data to be
transmitted can be reduced by the thinning, it is possible to
suppress an increase in number of pixels to be transmitted, caused
by the hierarchical structure. In addition, higher-level
hierarchical data are assigned larger numbers of quantization bits,
so that degradation in image quality due to quantization errors at
the higher hierarchical levels can be reduced in lower-level
hierarchical images.

Abstract: A method for measuring traffic at nodes in a network is disclosed. Probe packets are sent to a node at (at least) two different times. The packets are given a TTL value that expires at the node to be tested, which will make the node send back a packet to the source node. The difference in sequence number of the (at least) two reply packets is an indication of how many packets the node had to handle in the meantime, and thus indication of the load of the node. The test system is used in a call center and allows the call center operator to determine traffic loads at network nodes even when in different administrative domains.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving a communication signal includes a timing source that generates a stable timing signal and a stabilized local oscillator that receives the stable timing signal and uses the stable timing signal as an input to generate a stabilized oscillator signal. An antenna receives the communication signal at a receiving frequency, and the communication signal is filtered and amplified. A low noise block converter uses the stabilized oscillator signal to convert the receiving frequency of the communication signal to a stable lower frequency. A fiber optic transmitter converts the communication signal to an optical signal and transmits the optical signal over fiber optic cable. A fiber optic receiver receives the optical signal over the fiber optic cable. The optical signal then can be converted to an electrical signal.

Dans une première étape, au moins un agent moussant et au moins un additif agissant seulement sur le produit final sont ajoutés simultanément au polymère porteur compact et exempt de pores. Cette masse hétérogène est fondue et expansée, après avoir été mélangée et/ou étant mélangée simultanément, après quoi elle est encore une fois brassée.
