  • Publication number: 20120278086
    Abstract: An audio decoder for providing a decoded audio information includes an arithmetic decoder for providing a plurality of decoded spectral values on the basis of an arithmetically-encoded representation of the spectral values and a frequency-domain-to-time-domain converter for providing a time-domain audio representation using decoded spectral values. The arithmetic decoder is configured to select a mapping rule describing a mapping of a code value onto a symbol code in dependence on a context state. The arithmetic decoder is configured to determine a numeric current context value describing the current context state in dependence on a plurality of previously decoded spectral values and also in dependence on whether a spectral value to be decoded is in a first predetermined frequency region or in a second predetermined frequency region. An audio encoder provides an encoded audio information on the basis of an input audio information.

The arithmetic decoder is configured to select a mapping rule describing a mapping of a code value onto a symbol code in dependence on a context state. The arithmetic decoder is configured to determine or modify the current context state in dependence on a plurality of previously-decoded spectral values. The arithmetic decoder is configured to detect a group of a plurality of previously-decoded spectral values, which fulfill, individually or taken together, a predetermined condition regarding their magnitudes, and to determine the current context state in dependence on a result of the detection. An audio encoder uses similar principles.

  • Publication number: 20080188156
    Abstract: Structuring electroluminescent organic semiconductor elements can be achieved by providing such an element with a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer arranged therebetween. For structuring, areas of the organic layer are selectively destroyed by means of thermal action on the organic layer. The areas destroyed by the thermal action, such as by a laser beam, show no electroluminescence during the operation of the organic semiconductor element. A structuring can thus also be achieved on large-area semiconductor elements in a flexible manner and at low cost.

  • Patent number: 6754971
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a centering device having a simple structure for flat components (3), especially glass panels, which at least along their lateral edges can be surrounded by a plastic frame (4) by injection/foaming or encapsulation. To this end the invention provides for the centering device (16) to be embodied by springs (18 and 19) having the same elastic constant which are positioned opposite each other and both engage the component (3).
