20080260028 | Video H.264 Encryption Preserving Synchronization and Compatibility of Syntax - A method for encrypting data exchanged between an encoder and a decoder in a video system is disclosed. A set of bits which, when encoded, do not have any influence upon the decoding stage, are determined during the encoding stage. At least one part or all of the bits selected in stage 1 is/are encoded prior to transmission to the decoding stage. The bit selection stage determines the parts of the flow of bits that only modify the contexts of the decoding process in an insignificant manner in the sense that the modification due to encryption does cause desynchronization or does not lead to non-compatible bit flows with regard to encoding contexts and visual impact. The present invention is used with H.264 encoders/decoders. | 10-23-2008 |

In one aspect, the air purification reactor includes an ionizer (or plasma chamber), an electrostatic filter, a photocatalyst, and a UV light source that is distinct from the ionizer. The ionizer is arranged to introduce ions into a gaseous fluid stream passing through the air purification device. The electrostatic filter is located downstream of the ionizer and is arranged to electrostatically filter particles from the fluid stream. The UV light source is positioned to subject the photocatalyst to ultraviolet light and may be arranged upstream, downstream, or intermediate the electrostatic filter. With this arrangement, the ultraviolet light that impinges on the photocatalyst causes a photocatalytic oxidative reaction to occur at the photocatalyst that is capable of reducing volatile organic compounds carried in the fluid stream. In other (separate) aspects, the reactor includes an absorber or an oxidation catalyst. Generally, the various aspects of the invention may be used separately or in combination with one another. | 11-10-2011 |
