Abstract:
A method for storing data in storage blocks having a constant storage size may include grouping the data into successive data groups, and compressing each data group into a compressed block having a block size smaller than or equal to the storage size. The method may further include, for at least one compressed block having a block size smaller than the storage size, inserting into the at least one compressed block, before storage in a storage block, at least one information element relating to the contents of at least one further compressed block.
Abstract:
A method for composing a multilayer video image of which the values of the pixels of the image layers are stored in a memory. The video image may include at least one first image layer and a second image layer located in front of the at least one first layer and having an opaque area. The method may include defining a region of the at least one first image layer to be hidden by the opaque area, reading from the memory the stored pixel values, with the exception of the values of the pixels of the region of the at least one first image layer, and composing the video image at least from the read pixel values.
Abstract:
A system may include a first device, a second device, a third device, and a serial link between the second device and the third device. The first device may be configured to deliver to the second device an information stream having a transmission fault tolerance associated with a transmission by the second device to the third device over the serial link. A related method may include, during the transmission over the serial link, phases for synchronization between the second and third devices, and during each synchronization phase, the first device may continue to deliver the information stream to the second device.
