Abstract: A method for encoding a video, comprises receiving the video as a plurality of pixel value sets, wherein each pixel value set of the plurality of pixel value sets represents a digitized pixel of the video. The plurality of pixel value sets are grouped into a plurality of digitized video frames. Each pixel value set of the plurality of pixel value sets includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of each pixel value set is encoded to provide a plurality of dominant color values.

Abstract: Data values are encoded by mapping multi-dimensional parameters of the data values to respective parameters having fewer dimensions and creating a table of encoded data values in which the data values are represented by their respective encoded counterparts and in which redundancies between the encoded data values are reduced; and transmitting the table of encoded data values. Additionally, a set of reference data values may be transmitted for use by a decoder when decoding the table of encoded data values. The data values may be scaled prior to creating the table of encoded data values.

Abstract: Data values are encoded by mapping multi-dimensional parameters thereof to respective one-dimensional parameters and creating a table of encoded data values in which the data values are represented by their respective encoded counterparts utilizing the one-dimensional parameters and in which redundant ones of the encoded data values share common table entries.

Abstract: An in-grade light fixture is described herein. The in-grade light fixture has a main housing having an open top end with a lens covering the open top end. A side car splice compartment is adjacent to the lens along an upper portion of the housing. A hydraulic isolation chamber extends vertically downward from the splice compartment to a receptacle which is an electrical connection to a lamping module contained within the housing. A ballast may be utilized for proper supply of power to the lamp if a non-incandescent lamp is utilized. The hydraulic isolation chamber is filled with the potting material and prevents wicking of moisture through the receptacle into the main housing.
