  • Patent number: 8235585
    Abstract: A device for fastening a wrist strap, in particular a watch strap, to a case, in particular to a watch case, the device having a linking member, to one end of which a strap end member of the wrist strap can be fastened and the other end of which can be fastened to a wrist strap pin attached laterally to said case. The linking member has at the bottom thereof an indentation which is appreciably elbowed in longitudinal section and opens into a groove which is suitable for receiving the wrist strap pin and is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wrist strap. A securing element, which is biased against said case and has an interlocking projection located therein, is arranged on the linking member in such a way that the securing element can assume two positions.

  • Patent number: 8107752
    Abstract: An image processing method and system that performs color space transformation on an image to be compressed and obtaining pixel values, performing intra-row differential pulse code modulation coding on the image pixel values to obtain numerical values, and determining whether each of the numerical values is within a preset range. Variable length coding is performed on the numerical value obtained by using a fixed code table if the numerical value is within the range, variable length and by using a dynamic code table if it is not. Low algorithm complexity and fast processing meets the requirement of real-time video transmission. The pixel components of the image can be processed in parallel and adjacent processing steps can be performed in the same clock frequency, thereby remarkably reducing difficulty and cost in FPGA or chip implementation.
