Method for compressing and decompressing digital data

Номер: US20120113466A1
Автор: Maurice L.M. LUTTMER
Принадлежит: Individual

A method of compressing and decompressing digital data that is especially suitable for halftoned image data in which every bit represents the marking of a receiving material by ink or toner is provided. The method is lossless and balances the use of memory, the processing time, the compression factor and the cost of hardware resources. The recurrence of data in halftoned images on which the smaller data size of the compressed data is based, is caused by the use of a halftone dither matrix. Various halftone dither matrices may be used in the halftoned image. The method is adapted to employ the characteristics of a specific halftone dither matrix by applying a dynamic set of offset values, in which an offset value represents a number of words between the current word of digital data and an identical, previously processed word.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for low-complexity encoding (compression) of broad class of signals, which are typically not well modeled as sparse signals in either time-domain or frequency-domain. First, the signal can be split in time-segments that may be either sparse in time domain or sparse in frequency domain, for example by using absolute second order differential operator on the input signal. Next, different encoding strategies can be applied for each of these time-segments depending in which domain the sparsity is present.

Принадлежит: Oracle International Corp

Techniques are described herein for automatically selecting the compression techniques to be used on tabular data. A compression analyzer gives users high-level control over the selection process without requiring the user to know details about the specific compression techniques that are available to the compression analyzer. Users are able to specify, for a given set of data, a “balance point” along the spectrum between “maximum performance” and “maximum compression”. The point thus selected is used by the compression analyzer in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, the compression analyzer uses the user-specified balance point to determine which of the available compression techniques qualify as “candidate techniques” for the given set of data. The compression analyzer selects the compression technique to use on a set of data by actually testing the candidate compression techniques against samples from the set of data. After testing the candidate compression techniques against the samples, the resulting compression ratios are compared. The compression technique to use on the set of data is then selected based, in part, on the compression ratios achieved during the compression tests performed on the sample data.

A method and apparatus for data compression, particularly applicable to spectral signals such as Fast Fourier Transforms of vibration data. The data is merged to remove redundant frequencies when recorded at multiple sample rates, thresholded with respect to a noise floor to remove even more redundant data, and then the positions of non-zero signal values, with respect to the noise floor, are recorded in a first dataword and the non-zero signal values themselves are all recorded concatenated to form a second dataword. The compressed data set consists of the first and second datawords, together with the value of the noise floor, maximum original amplitude and the broadband power. In the event of successive data sets having the same or similar locations for non-zero signal values a re-use flag may be set and the locations dataword discarded. Preferably the signal values are non-linearly quantized to further reduce the amount of data.

A method of predicting failure for vehicular components is implemented within a vehicle through a plurality of part sensors and an on-board computing (OBC) device as the part sensors are communicably coupled with a remote server through the OBC device. The OBC device continuously timestamps and uploads a plurality of performance time-dependent data (PTDD) points to the remote server throughout a current vehicular trip. The remote server then analyzes the uploaded PTDD points with an updatable total time duration and an active performance-define range that are calculated from prior vehicular trips. The remote server is then able to identify a potential vehicular problem during the current trip, based upon the uploaded PTDD points. When a potential vehicular problem is detected within the current trip, an annotating assessment is generated and wirelessly sent to a personal computing device of the owner/operator of the vehicle. 1.

The method of further comprising the step of:displaying the virtual object such that a first virtual object is placed near/over the individual if they reside within a first distance from the location of the device, and a second virtual object is placed near/over the individual if they reside within a second distance from the device. Many types of crimes have a higher probability of being committed by someone who resides local to the crime scene, while other types of crimes have a higher probability of being committed by someone who resides farther from the crime scene. For example, a serial bank robber has a higher probability of not residing near many of the banks they rob, while an arsonist will often reside near fires they set. In addition, oftentimes individuals who reside near a crime are reluctant to give information to police officers. Because of the above, it would be beneficial to indicate to an officer which individuals reside near a crime scene, and which individuals do not reside near the crime scene. This information may aide the officer in identifying a suspect or witnesses to a crime.Skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and have not necessarily ...

Data is cached at a mobile communication site, such as a cell phone mast or tower computer. The caching is based on collection of “live data,” such as the number of communication devices (for example, cell phones) connected in data communication directly to the site, information known about users of the various communication devices connected directly to the site, etc. By caching data that is likely to be useful to the users before it is actually requested, the information can be supplied from the site to the directly connected users more quickly when it is later requested.
