A process and apparatus for the synthesis of metal oxide nanopowder from a metal compound vapour is presented. In particular a process and apparatus for the synthesis of Ti02 nanopowder from TiCl4 is disclosed. The metal compound vapour is reacted with an oxidizing gas in electrically induced RF frequency plasma thus forming a metal oxide vapour. The metal oxide vapour is rapidly cooled using a hi...

Provided is a pixel array structure and of a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor and a method of arranging the same in which unit pixels are arranged diagonally to adjacent unit pixels in a row and column direction. For the arrangement, a pixel array in even rows is shifted to a half of a pitch in a column direction with respect to a pixel array in odd rows. Accordingly, in...

The invention relates to a method for producing particulate composite materials. According to the method, solid inorganic or organic particle agglomerates or particle aggregates that are provided in a dry state, particularly in powder form, are first reduced in size in the gas phase or in a gaseous carrier medium in the presence of organic matrix particles by applying energy. The obtained comminut...

In general, this disclosure describes video processing techniques that make use of syntax elements and semantics to support low complexity extensions for multimedia processing with video scalability. The syntax elements and semantics may be added to network abstraction layer (NAL) units and may be especially applicable to multimedia broadcasting, and define a bitstream format and encoding process ...

A method for decoding significance coefficients in an encoded video sequence is described. An encoded video bitstream is received. Codebook table information is retrieved from the bitstream. Significance symbols are decoded using the retrieved codebook table information. Significance coefficients are decoded using the significance symbols. A plurality of transform coefficients is dequantized. An i...

A method and system for coding and decoding information associated with video impression is described. The video sequence is processed in a plurality of frames.
