Abstract: A method for reconstructing a picture block is disclosed, wherein the block is predicted using local illumination compensation. The parameters of local illumination compensation are determined according to a selection of reconstructed samples located to the left and above of the current block. In the case where some of them are unavailable, they may be replaced using different techniques.

Abstract: A decoding method is presented. An illumination compensation parameter is first determined for a current block of a picture. The illumination compensation parameter is determined from one or more illumination compensation parameters or from one or more reconstructed samples of at least one spatially neighbor block only in the case where said at least one spatially neighbor block belongs to the same local illumination compensation group as the current block, called current local illumination compensation group. Finally, the current block is reconstructed using the determined illumination compensation parameter.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a spraying circuit, in particular of paint, and for treating the chemical effluents generated includes a first rinsing of the paint circuit using a predetermined first volume of treated effluent, a second rinsing of the paint circuit using a predetermined second volume of ecosolvent and a third rinsing of the paint circuit using a predetermined third volume of treated effluent, so as to save on the consumption of water from the network by recycling the treated effluent to clean and rinse the paint circuit.

Abstract: The invention is directed to fluid-containing pouches and to methods for forming fluid-containing pouches. In one embodiment, the invention is to a fluid-containing pouch, comprising first and second opposing sheets, and a fluid (e.g., a calibrant fluid, a reactant fluid or a wash fluid) disposed between the first and second opposing sheets. The first sheet and the second sheet have a substantially liquid and gas impermeable perimeter seal. The sheets may be sealed, for example, by one or more of heat crimping, pressure crimping, heat and pressure crimping, ultrasonic welding, metal-to-metal welding or laser welding. Fluid-containing pouches sealed according to the disclosed methods and apparatuses show substantially improvement in terms of reduced gas exchange, notably CO2 pressurization levels.
