Presented herein are Tertiary Content Addressable Memory based motion estimator(s). In one embodiment, there is presented a method for encoding a picture. The method comprises storing a reference picture in a memory; taking samples from at least one line of a prediction block; generating at least one data word, the data word being a function of the samples; addressing the memory with the at least one data word; receiving one or more addresses, said one or more addresses associated with one or more blocks; and selecting a reference block from the one or more blocks for the prediction block.

The present invention relates to a method and system for modifying images characterized in that it includes the ability to assign colour intensity values to pixels exposed during image manipulation operations comprising: means for using the color intensity values of remaining pixels in the original image, and means for assigning color values to the exposed pixels that are similar to those of the surrounding pixels so that the exposed regions blends smoothly with the surrounding region. The instant invention also provides a configured computer program product for carrying out the above method.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for concealing errors in video data. It is detected whether a slice group in a picture contains errors. When the slice group contains errors and the picture is not a first intra-picture following a channel change, the slice group in the picture is replaced with a slice group of a most recent intra-coded picture. When the slice group contains errors and the picture is the first intra-picture following the channel change, the slice group is replaced with black pixels.

Schemes for rewinding a HITS stream in video recorder and playback systems are presented herein. Reference pictures are stored for a group of pictures, allowing subsequent pictures to be decoded from the reference pictures. The foregoing significantly reduces the number of picture decodes required to display a HITS stream in reverse order.

In one embodiment, a carbide-containing article includes a carbide body with an attached optional superabrasive layer. A braze metal coating is attached to a surface the carbide substrate. The coating primarily is made of particles of a metal having a melting point of less than 1200° C., the particles having a size of less than 0.1 mm. In another embodiment, a process for applying a braze metal coating to a carbide body of a superabrasive or other article includes depositing finely divided particles of a low melting point metal onto the carbide body by spraying the particles and gas onto the body at a velocity that is between 500 km/sec and 2 km/sec, with volumetric delivery of the particles being less than 50 grams per minute.

A matrix converter includes a plurality of switches that electrically connect a multi-phase input voltage source to a multi-phase load; and a controller to output pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching signals to control the switches to produce a multi-phase output voltage from the multi-phase input voltage source. The controller outputs the PWM switching signals by modulating a carrier signal with a time-varying signal having a frequency determined from a desired output frequency for the output voltage.

A method (and system) for guaranteeing authenticity of an object, includes providing a sample of material obtainable only by at least one of chemical and physical processes such that the sample is random and not reproducible, associating a number reproducibly to the sample by using a specific reader, and forming at least one coded version of the number, the at least one coded version being obtained by a key signature, and the version being recorded into an area of the object.

Presented herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for improving performance of video decoders during rewind and fast forward operation. Video decoder performance is improved by avoiding repetitive decoding of prediction pictures. When a decoded prediction picture is stored in a frame buffer, techniques are presented for decoding multiple pictures in the rewind order which are dependent thereon, displaying the picture directly from the frame buffer, and setting one type of prediction picture as another type of prediction picture.

A system, method, and program storage device implementing the method for modifying images has the ability to assign color intensity values to pixels exposed during image manipulation operations. The method comprises using the color intensity values of remaining pixels in the original image, and assigning color values to the exposed pixels that are similar to those of the surrounding pixels so that the exposed regions blend smoothly with the surrounding region.

A method is presented for marking high-quality digital images with a robust and invisible watermark. It requires the mark to survive and remain detectable and authenticatable through all image manipulations that in themselves do not damage the image beyond useability. These manipulations include JPEG “lossy” compression and, in the extreme, the printing and rescanning of the image. The watermark also has the property that it can detect if the essential contents of the image has changed. The first phase of the method comprises extracting a digest or number N from the image so that N only (or mostly) depends on the essential information content, such that the same number N can be obtained from a scan of a high quality print of the image, from the compressed form of the image, or in general, from the image after minor modifications (introduced inadvertently by processing, noise etc.). The second phase comprises the marking. This can be done in form of an invisible robust watermark, or in form of some visible signature or watermark.
