Abstract: Aspects of a system and method for processing video data may comprise, for each line of a field of an image, generating noise based on a current seed, inserting the generated noise in a current line of the field, and generating a new seed for processing a subsequent line of the field by shifting the current seed. The current seed may be used to generate a random number and the generated noise may be produced using this generated random number.
Abstract: In a communication system, Huffman coding techniques are used to obtain shaping gains for an improvement in data transmission rates. More particularly, a novel method of Huffman shaping is described that achieves a shaping gain of greater than 1 dB. The shaping gain results in a higher data rate transmission in a communication system where transmitted power is constrained.

Abstract: A header substituted for preamble nibbles by an individual one of the originating devices in a plurality, and an individual one of the ports in such originating device, indicates such originating device and such port. Such port in such originating device sends such modified packet to others of the originating devices and to an observing station. The header format is such that the last nibble in the header and the remaining preamble portion will not be confused with any two (2) nibbles in the header. A particular one of the originating devices indicated in the data converts the header back to the preamble format and transmits the converted packet to a receiving station. The observing station records the individual originating device, and the individual port in such device, indicated in the header. Each packet includes at its end a trailer formed from a plurality of nibbles and indicating whether or not a collision has occurred between such packet and a packet from another one of the originating devices.
