Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing artificial teeth (1) imitating natural teeth, each tooth comprising a crown (4) and a radicular element (5) comprising one, two or three roots (3), each of said roots comprising at least one radicular canal (7), said process comprising the steps consisting in: providing a crown (4) by injection into a mould of a plastics having high mechanical strength and hardness properties, providing the radicular element (5) as at least two radicular parts (5A, 5B; 5C, 5D) having a junction surface including at least a slot for providing a radicular canal (7), assembling and joining together the different radicular parts mutually so as to obtain the radicular element (5) of the tooth, and assembling and joining together the crown (4) with said radicular element (5).

Abstract: The encoding method is adapted to the recognition of synchronization words in sequence of variable length encoded words, each encoded word corresponding to a specific message or event from a sequences of messages each assigned with a probability of occurrence. The method consists in constructing a dichotomizing encoding tree comprising a specific number of leaves (F1 . . . F4) distributed over priority levels (n.sub.1 . . . n.sub.4) classified in a decreasing order on processing from the root of the tree towards the leaves, the number of leaves being equal to the number of events to be encoded, in placing the leaves adjacent to one another on each level, the leaves corresponding to the most probable events being placed at one end to the right or to the left on each level, and in prohibiting, in the encoded words, the sequences of Smax bits of equal value, zero or one, in order to obtain an easy choice of synchronization words.
