    摘要： Systems and methods are provided for allocating bits to pictures in accordance with the bit allocation constraints for operation at both constant and variable bit rates. A statistical complexity measure which is an estimate of the average encoding complexity of the entire data is updated after encoding each picture. This set of parameters, along with an estimate of the encoding complexity of the current picture and the desired average coding rate is used to allocate target bits for encoding the current picture. One method of allocating bits to a picture is to used the statistical complexity measure to vary the instantaneous rate of encoding and allocate bits for this picture so as to generate encoded data at this rate. Another method is to modulate the target generated by a conventional encoder using the current level of the Virtual Buffer Verifier and the deviation of the estimated encoding complexity of the current picture from the statistical complexity measures.

    摘要： A labeling apparatus has a source of printed labels that have adhesive backing, a vacuum pickup with two opposable arms, a blower bar to support a label on air. Each opposable arm has its own vacuum head and each head is removably attachable to a respective end portion of the label. The apparatus also has a label position sensor, and the vacuum pickup is movable from a pickup position to a wrap position. Each pickup arm has a plurality of spring loaded pins. A two layer label has a backing strip, an inner layer, and an outer layer, and at least one removable portion of the outer layer. The label has a neck portion and two end portions, such that the label set may be wrapped a container with the two end portions adhered back to back to each other. The neck portion is relatively narrower than either of the two end portions and is relatively offset so that it is closer to a front edge of the label.

    摘要： A system and method for improving the quality of decoded images, without any cost to compression efficiency, in both progressive still frame and motion video applications wherein the images are coded with intraframe transform based coding techniques, such as Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coding. Prediction of the AC components is utilized and operations are performed on the AC coefficient prediction in the decoder portions of the system in combination with a thresholding technique. Input images are subdivided into blocks of pixels, which are changed into blocks of coefficients by forward transform coding resulting in DC coefficients, representative of the average value in a block of pixels, and AC coefficients, representative of harmonic frequencies from the block, whereupon the predicted coefficient values are thresholded and the thresholded coefficient values are added to their corresponding transform coefficient values for the given block. These steps are repeated for all of the blocks of the image and the image representation is recovered by applying an inverse transform operation to the results of all of the additions for all of the blocks of the image.
