  • HDTV receiver
    Patent number: 5305102
    Abstract: The effects of perturbations in a decoder responsive to a signal encoded in a predictive coding schema are reduced by shortening the time needed to converge the decoder's prediction signal to that of the encoder. This is accomplished by temporarily altering the leak factor when it is known that a perturbation is about to manifest itself and by, in some situations, altering the incoming encoded signal itself.
