Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-rate lattice vector quantization of a source vector x representing a frame from a source signal to be used, for example, in digital transmission and storage systems. The multi-rate lattice quantization encoding method comprises the steps of associating to x a lattice point y in a unbounded lattice Lambda; verifying if y is included in a base codebook C derived from the lattice Lambda; if it is the case then indexing y in C so as to yield quantization indices if not then extending the base codebook using, for example a Voronoi based extension method, yielding an extended codebook; associating to y a codevector c from the extended codebook, and indexing y in the extended codebook C. The extension technique allows to obtain higher bit rate codebooks from the base codebooks compared to quantization method and system from the prior art.

Abstract: A forming fabric having a paper side layer and a machine side layer comprises a first set of paper side layer wefts, a second set of machine side layer wefts and a single set of warp yarn triplets. In the fabric weave pattern, each member of each triplet set of warp yarns interweaves with the paper side weft yarns to occupy in sequence segments of an unbroken warp path in the paper side surface, and each triplet in each set of warp yarns interlaces alone with at least one single machine side layer weft yarn. Each segment in the unbroken warp path is separated by at least one paper side layer weft yarn. The machine side layer interlacing points are regularly spaced. After heat setting, the fabrics typically have an air permeability typically from about 7,500 to about 10,500 m<SUP>3</SUP>/m<SUP>2</SUP>/hr. Paper products made using these fabrics have enhanced printability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a writing utensil comprising a one-piece or multi-piece sleeve which receives a writing insert that is retracted within the sleeve in an inoperative position while partially protruding from the sleeve in a writing position. The writing insert is moved between the inoperative position and the writing position by axially displacing a part of the writing utensil, which holds the writing insert, towards the sleeve. The aim of the invention is to create a writing utensil which is provided with a small number of parts while being inexpensive to produce and easy to handle. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the writing insert is positionally fixed relative to the sleeve at least in the writing position by means of a magnetic force that is effective between the elements of a magnetic system. Said magnetic system essentially encompasses at least one magnet and at least one counterpart that is attracted by the magnet/s. The elements thereof are components of the parts embodying the writing utensil, each magnet being a component of one of said parts while each counterpart of a magnet is a component of one of the other parts.

Abstract: An industrial sewing machine has a thread tensioning assembly that can be operated either in control mode or regulator mode as required by the operator. The sewing machine (1) has a thread tensioning assembly (32) operated by an electromagnet (34). The electric current running through the electromagnet coil (33) varies in accordance with the rotational speed of the armature shaft, in accordance with a predetermined graph curve of thread tension plotted against rotation. The change in current prevents the formation of a knot formed by the upper and lower threads between the two work pieces. Selection of regulation mode or control mode is made by the operator via a suitable selector switch (50). The push button selector switch is linked to a microprocessor with a memory device and mode indicator (51) that further indicates thread tension.
