Each track (T) is prefaced by unrecoverable data (UD) at a track start position (ATOC) indicated by the table of contents (TOC). However, the Video CD index (VI) indicates the actual position (AP) of the tracks. DVD players use the Video CD index (VI) to locate the tracks, while the CD-ROM drives use the table of contents (TOC) and read the unrecoverable data (UD), which prevents them from reading the subsequent track (T). The unrecoverable data (UD) may be prefaced by data pointers (DP) which cause the CD-ROM drive to load a player program in response to the error condition. The player program can be used to play the tracks (T), but restricts copying. Subchannel data (P; DX) causes audio CD players to ignore the Video CD index (VI) and the unrecoverable data (UD), and to play the tracks (T) at their actual start positions (AP). | 11-03-2011 |

20110293196 | PICTURE ENCODING AND DECODING - Video is encoded by applying a vertically and horizontally separable transform to provide a block of transform coefficients; and quantising the transform coefficients. Prior to quantisation, a filtering operation is performed on the block of transform coefficients, the filtering operation applying a rotation to pairs of coefficients in the block. Each pair of coefficients may be symmetrically positioned with respect to the leading diagonal of the block. | 12-01-2011 |

20090051933 | Tool Detection - An object detection apparatus and a method for calibrating an object detection apparatus. The apparatus comprises a housing provided with a light source and a light detector. The light source directs a beam of light towards the light detector. The housing has a base which is provided with a datum surface. The light beam has a defined distance and angle from the datum base. The method for calibrating an object detection apparatus involves setting threshold levels for light intensity received at the light detector. The apparatus has two modes of operation. The invention also includes an adapter for an object detection apparatus which detects the presence of an object by obstructing a light path. | 02-26-2009 |
20100027031 | OBJECT DETECTOR APPARATUS AND METHOD - An object detector apparatus. The object detector apparatus comprises a receiver which is configured to receive a signal from an object having a repetitive motion, in which the signal repeats at a frequency that is dependent on the frequency of the repetitive motion of the object. The object detector apparatus further comprises an analyser which is configured to sample a signal received by the receiver according to a first set of sampling parameters into a first sampled data set, and to produce an output based on a comparison of the first sampled data set with at least one previously sampled data set. The analyser is also operable to sample a signal received by the receiver using a second set of sampling parameters which differs to the first set of sampling parameters into a second sampled data set, and to produce an output based on a comparison of the second sampled data set with at least one previously sampled data set. | 02-04-2010 |
