Patent number: 5764808Abstract: A method (900, 1000) and device (100, 600) are provided for encoding and/or decoding a compact representation of a discrete region contour for the purposes of image and video compression. The compact representation described provides bitstream scalability so that progressively larger subsets of the compact representation can be used to provide progressive better quality in the approximate reconstruction of the discrete region contours. The resulting device and method provide for coding of shape information within object-based and region-based image and video compression systems.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1995Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Joseph O'Connell, Damon Lee Tull

Patent number: 4021302Abstract: Cell culture comprising a novel cell strain in suitable nutrient medium, wherein the novel cell strain is produced by disaggregated feline embryo tissue cell and serially passaging the same from about the 20th to about the 48th passage level, so as to be cultured and subcultured with the resultant cell strains remaining substantially diploid, typically fibroblastic and substantially free from morphological transformations. Subculturing is facilitated by treatment of a confluent sheet of the disaggregated cells chelating agent before each transfer into a new batch of nutrient medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1975Date of Patent: May 3, 1977Assignee: Burroughs Wellcome & Co., Inc.Inventors: Sidney Edwin Smith, Kevin Joseph O'Reilly, John Prydie
