  • Patent number: 11949915
    Abstract: An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by: deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining the residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal of the picture, the transform signal representing the picture in spectral components; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation, wherein the buffered transform signal comprises a selection out of spectral components representing the previous picture.

  • Patent number: 8789450
    Abstract: A rip fence module for positioning workpieces with their edge facing away from a tool on a machine table at a certain distance to the tool, comprising: a superstructure overlapping the machine table presenting a workpiece stop for the workpiece to be treated extending in a longitudinal direction, at least one guided portion which is insertable and guidable in an allocated guide groove provided on the machine table side extending in an extension direction transversely to the longitudinal direction, and by which the superstructure is supported movably in the guide groove in the extension direction relatively the tool, and a locking device shiftable between a locking position and a release position in order to lock the rip fence module in the locking position at a guided portion defined relatively the guide groove, and to permit in the release position a shifting of the guided portion in the guide groove.

  • Patent number: 8668555
    Abstract: A tool-support apparatus for attachment to a grinding machine, in particular to a wet grinding machine, which has at least one grinding disc arranged on a rotatably drivable grinding-disc shaft and a machine frame or housing in which the grinding-disc shaft is supported. The tool-support apparatus has a tool-support, which can be secured on a machine frame or housing of the grinding machine, for the support during the grinding process of a tool that is to be ground, and an arresting apparatus for securing the tool support on the machine frame or housing. The tool-support can be secured on the machine frame or housing in such a way that it can be swivelled about the grinding-disc shaft or about a swivel axis parallel to the grinding-disc shaft and can be arrested by way of the arresting apparatus in a plurality of angular positions.

  • Publication number: 20110212671
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool-support apparatus for attachment to a grinding machine (1), in particular to a wet grinding machine, which has at least one grinding disc (3) arranged on a rotatably drivable grinding-disc shaft (2) and a machine frame or housing (4) in which the grinding-disc shaft (2) is supported. The tool-support apparatus has a tool-support (5, 6, 7), which can be secured on a machine frame or housing (4) of the grinding machine (1), for the support during the grinding process of a tool that is to be ground, and an arresting apparatus (8) for securing the tool support (5, 6, 7) on the machine frame or housing (4). The invention is distinguished in that the tool-support (5, 6, 7) can be secured on the machine frame or housing (4) in such a way that it can be swivelled about the grinding-disc shaft (2) or about a swivel axis (10) parallel to the grinding-disc shaft (2) and can be arrested by way of the arresting apparatus (8) in a plurality of angular positions.
