Abstract: A socket device is installed on a circuit board of an electronic product and includes an insulating housing formed with a contained space for containing an electronic component, a plurality of terminals installed in the contained space, and a holding casing covered around the insulating housing. The insulating housing has at least one horizontal penetrating groove formed at two sides thereof. The terminals are electrically connected with the electronic component. The holding casing forms at least one elastic arm at its two sides, respectively. Each elastic arm forms a pressing portion from a top edge thereof to the contained space for pressing the electrical component, and a guiding portion transversely extended from a free end thereof to the contained space. Each guiding portion is slidably contained in the penetrating groove. Therefore, it can prevent the elastic arm twisted outwardly and the socket device from deforming during the assembly process.

Abstract: A novel method for coding and decoding video data and codec thereof are disclosed. The invented method provides an FGS (fine grained scalability) algorithm using bit plane coding technique. While conducting the bit plane encoding, the spatial and temporal dependence between bit planes is used to exploit the redundancy in the bit planes. In the embodiment of this invention, the bit plains are represented by quadtrees and bit plane prediction is made to remove the spatial and temporal redundancy in a video. The scalability of the video data is fine grained since atoms of the motion residuals do not have to be grouped as coding units.
