Abstract: A system of transmitting display data is presented. The system includes a frame encoding part configured to receive a source frame and output a compressed frame. The frame encoding part has: a difference unit configured to generate a difference frame using the source frame and an encode reference frame; an encode output unit configured to output a compressed version of either the source frame or the difference frame as a compressed frame; and a first compressed frame buffer configured to store a compressed version of the source frame as a new encode reference frame, wherein the frame encoding part further includes a frame decision unit configured to compare the image quality of frames respectively derived from the source frame and the difference frame.

Abstract: According to an example, fluctuations of a metric for events are determined. The fluctuations are for multiple time intervals. A pixel-based visualization of the fluctuations is generated, and the pixels represent amounts of the fluctuations.

Abstract: A technique for force feedback can include displaying a data set in a visual model. A technique for force feedback can include selecting a portion of the data instances in the data set. A technique for force feedback can also include providing a force feedback via a force feedback device as an interaction point interacts with the portion of the data instances.

Abstract: To encode an arbitrary shape, a processor is configured to generate a rectangular block of transform coefficients by applying a discrete separable unitary transform to a rectangular boundary block of a video object. The boundary block includes a masked pixel and an unmasked pixel, the transform coefficients include a number of zero-valued transform coefficients greater than or equal to a number of masked pixels, and the transform coefficients include at least one non-zero-valued transform coefficient. The processor is also configured to generate an encoded output by compressing only the non-zero-valued transform coefficients.
