Abstract:
Video processing system, computer program product and method for decoding an encoded video stream, the method includes: receiving an encoded video stream that comprises a plurality of encoded video frames, each encoded video frame comprises multiple encoded frame portions; and repeating, for each encoded frame portion: providing, to an entropy decoder, different quality level representations of the encoded frame portion and context information generated during an entropy decoding process of different quality level representations of another encoded frame portion; entropy decoding, by the entropy decoder, the different quality level representations of the frame portion based on the context information; wherein the entropy decoding comprises updating the context information; wherein the entropy decoding is selected from a group consisting of context based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) and context based variable length coding (CBVLC); and storing the context information.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus (10) for forming an image on an offset media (100) includes a carriage (220), which moves relative to said offset media wherein said offset media further comprises a top layer and a bottom layer. An imaging head (208) is mounted on the carriage for imaging the surface of the offset media. A power adjustment element (212) controls power intensity of the imaging head. A controller (216) provides imaging data to the imaging head wherein the power intensity level is set according to the imaging data (228). Image areas on top layer are fixated by applying low intensity power. Non-image areas are ablated from the top layer by applying high intensity power.
Abstract:
Video processing system, computer program product and method for managing an exchange of information between a memory unit and a decoder, the method includes: (a) retrieving, from the memory unit, a first non-zero data structure that comprises only non-zero first transform coefficient groups; wherein first transform coefficient groups are associated with a first quality level; (b) retrieving, from the memory unit, second layer information; (c) processing, by the video decoder, the second layer information and the first non-zero data structure to provide second transform coefficient groups; (c) generating, by the video decoder, a second non-zero data structure that comprises only non-zero second transform coefficient groups; wherein the second non-zero data structure is associated with a second quality level that is higher than the first quality level; (d) generating second non-zero indicators that are indicative of non-zero transform coefficient groups, wherein the second non-zero data structure is associated with a second quality level that is higher than the first quality level; and (e) writing to the memory unit the second non-zero indicators.
Abstract:
A lithographic processing solution having a pH of less than 12 and comprising at least 0.001 and up to and including 1 weight % of a water-soluble or water-dispersible, non-IR-sensitive compound that has a heterocyclic moiety with a quaternary nitrogen in the 1-position of the heterocyclic ring, and having one or more electron donating substituents attached to the heterocyclic ring, at least one of which electron donating substituents is attached in the 2-position. The processing solution can be used to develop both single-layer and multi-layer positive-working lithographic printing plate precursors that have been imaged using infrared radiation.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a hands-free enforcing apparatus, comprising: a hands-free adapter; and a switching mechanism for sensing presence/absence of a cellular telephone in the hands-free adapter, and affecting a circuit of the vehicle thereof according to the sensed state. The apparatus may further comprise a delaying circuitry, for delaying the operation of affecting the circuit, thereby enabling a user thereof to return the cellular phone into the hands-free adapter before interfering in the operation of the circuit, and a buzzer, for alerting the user upon delaying the affecting. The circuit affected by the switching mechanism may be related to the ignition of the vehicle, to controlling the hazard signal of the vehicle, and so forth.
