Use of Probability Distribution Matching in H.26L For Adaptive Configuration of UVLC -A Novel Approach
A method for improving the print quality of ink used in ink-jet printers, particularly thermal ink-jet printers, is provided. For an ink typically comprising about 90 to 98 wt % water and about 10 to 2 wt % diethylene glycol plus about 0.1 to 12 wt % dye, the improvement is achieved by adding an additive consisting essentially of about 1 to 30 wt % ethanol, about 1 to 30 wt % n-propanol, about 1 to 10 wt % iso-propanol, or about 0.002 to 0.05 wt % of 2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-6-dodecyn-5,8-diol.
Bi-directional motion vector coding using Universal VLC
Abstract In this paper an error resilient motion vector coding which employs two-way decodable Universal VLC is presented. With this scheme, a part of a bitstream which cannot be decoded in the forward direction due to errors can be recovered by backward decoding. Based on the observation that motion compensated signals are visually more important than residual signals, motion vectors are better protected so that they can be recovered even in the presence of errors. Besides being bi-directionally decodable, Universal VLC has been designed to allow easy encoding and decoding. It has been shown through simulations that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional method (i.e, non-bi-directional) in terms of PSNR under various error conditions.
The Invariance of the Vacuum is the Invariance of the World
The following theorem is demonstrated: If the vacuum is invariant under the group generated by the space integral of the time component of a local vector current, then the Hamiltonian is invariant also. A similar theorem holds for the group generated by the space integral of a space component of a local axial-vector current.
