International Classification:

H04N 7/32

US Classification:

37524012, 375E07243

Abstract:

An apparatus comprising a processor configured to receive a current block of a video frame, and determine a coding mode for the current block based on only a bit rate cost function, wherein the coding mode is selected from a plurality of available coding modes, and wherein calculation of the bit rate cost function does not consider distortion of the current block.

International Classification:

H04N 7/32

US Classification:

37524012, 375E07125

Abstract:

An apparatus used in video encoding comprising a processor configured to generate a prediction block for a current block, compute a difference between the current block and the prediction block to generate a residual block, wherein the residual block comprises a plurality of residual values, and if the plurality of residual values include at least one non-zero residual value comprising at least one sign and at least one residual level, perform entropy encoding on the at least one sign; and perform entropy encoding on the at least one residual level, wherein one non-residual value comprises one sign and one residual level.

Filed:

Nov 8, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/555267

Inventors:

Gregory H. Cook - Tucson AZ
Charles E. Cook - Plano TX

International Classification:

E05D 1516

US Classification:

160202

Abstract:

A closure system includes a plurality of closure panels adapted to be moved between deployed and stowed positions. All on a pair of carrier tracks on opposite side of a building opening. The actuator in the deployed position have abutting top and bottom edges and parallel side surface that span across the building opening. The actuators in the stowed position have abutting in inner and outer side surfaces in parallel top edges and parallel bottom edges. The top and bottom edges maintain their top and bottom orientation as their closure panels transition between the deployed an stowed positions.
