Abstract: A flow meter (10) for liquids, the meter having a measurement casing (12) with a first connection (20) and a second connection (22), a measuring unit (24) pivoted to the measurement casing (12), with a sensor element (26), a sensor casing (14) that can be coupled to the measurement casing (12) and which partially encompasses the measurement casing, with a sensor (28) that responds to the sensor element (26) for determining the quantity of liquid flowing through the measurement casing. To facilitate easy assembly and subsequent adjustment of the sensor casing (14) with a fixed measurement casing (12), the measurement casing (12) is designed as a measuring tube and has a closed cylindrical surface (38), and that the sensor casing (14) has a recess (46) matched to the cylindrical surface (38) and is arranged coaxially with the measurement casing (12) and pivoted to the latter in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A coding of a block of transformation coefficients wherein a precoder traverses the magnitude bits of a predetermined one of magnitude bit planes in tuples of a plurality of adjacent magnitude bits, and codes predetermined ones of the magnitude bits of the tuples into data words such that a predetermined magnitude bit is coded along with an associated sign bit into one of the data words, or that a predetermined magnitude bit is coded along with any other predetermined magnitude bit of the same tuple, into one of the data words. A data word buffer temporarily stores the data words and an entropy coder codes the data words from the data word buffer into a coded data stream. Alternative coding aspects are also presented. According to one alternative aspect, a running window buffer is filled with status bits while traversing the coefficients.
