Abstract: An encoding circuit transforms a picture signal into blocks of, for example, 8*8 coefficients, in which each block of coefficients is read motion- adaptively. In the case of motion within a sub-picture, the block of coefficients is read in such an order that the obtained series of coefficients includes, as it were, two interleaved sub-series. The first series starts with a dc component. In a first embodiment, the second series starts with the most relevant motion coefficient. In a second embodiment, two interlaced sub-fields are separately transformed and the second series also starts with a dc coefficient. As a result, the coefficients are transmitted as much as possible in their order of significance. This particularly produces the largest possible clusters of zero value coefficients. Such clusters are transmitted as one compact run-length code so that an effective bit rate reduction is achieved, also for moving pictures.

Abstract: Short range communication systems and techniques are described. In an implementation an interrogator held near a person interrogates multiple transponders and receives information separately from the transponders. The interrogator and/or the transponders may be held in an article of clothing or in a personal effect of the person. The transponders may transmit identifying information and/or information associated with the states of the articles of clothing or personal effects of the person. Such a system enables the clothes worn by a person to communicate with a plurality of items and obtain useful information. In addition, a network system may be configured so that any particular transponder may communicate with another transponder or group of transponders of other locales to activate functions, cause actions or otherwise share data and/or information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a video coding method based on an adaptive frame/field encoding mode. In order to avoid an impairment of the image quality and of the compression efficiency when a video sequence comprises a lot of motion or on the contrary quasi-motionless images, an improved real time double pass encoding scheme is proposed: during the first pass, no video stream is generated, but statistical results are computed and then provided to the second pass in order to optimize during said second pass the bit rate allocation and the buffer management. This improved double pass encoding method leads to an increase of the compression efficiency of about 10%.

Abstract: In a speech transmission system, an input speech signal is applied to a speech encoder (12, 36) for encoding the input speech signal. The encoded speech signal is transmitted via a communication channel (10) to a speech decoder (30, 48). In order to improve the performance of the transmission system in the presence of background noise, it is proposed to introduce background noise dependent processing elements in the speech encoder (12, 36) and/or in the speech decoder (30, 48) In a first embodiment of the invention, the parameters of the perceptual weighting filter (124) in the speech encoder (12, 36) are derived by calculating linear prediction coefficients (null) from a speech signal which is processed by means of a high-pass filter (82). In a second embodiment of the invention, an adaptive post filter (150) in a speech decoder (30, 48) is by-passed when the noise level exceeds a threshold value.
