The conventional error conceal processing generates a greatly fluctuating irregular sound which is unpleasant to ears and causes a remarkable echo effect and click noise. A notification signal detection unit (301) judges processing for an input frame. In case of an error frame, a sound detection unit (303) makes judgment whether a preceding non-error data frame is a sound signal. If it is a sound frame, a sound copying unit (304) generates a replacing frame. If it is a non-sound frame, a transient signal detection unit (305) judges whether it is an attack signal by the transient signal detection and selects an appropriate area from the preceding non-error frame.

A method and a system for image haze removal are provided. The method includes the following steps: receiving an input hazy image including input pixels; determining a hybrid dark channel for each of the input pixels according to a first minimum dark channel of a corresponding large local patch and a second minimum dark channel of a corresponding small local patch; determining a transmission map for each of the input pixels according to the hybrid dark channel prior, the corresponding hybrid dark channel, and atmospheric light associated with the input hazy image in each color channel; determining a color spectrum adjustment parameter corresponding to each of the color channels; recovering scene radiance for each of the input pixels in each of the color channels according to the corresponding color spectrum adjustment parameter, the transmission map, and the corresponding atmospheric light to produce and output a de-hazed image.

A ceiling tile of gypsum and cellulose fibers formed into a board by initially mixing the fibers and gypsum in a water-based slurry that is felted and thereafter pressed and dried with a desired board thickness, the dried board being processed to form a plurality of holes in a face thereof through at least the majority of the thickness of the board, the collective volume of the holes being sufficient to reduce the weight of the board by at least 10% and increase the NRC exhibited by the board over that which would otherwise be found in a board of the same composition without such holes.

Systems and methods for embedding metadata such as personal patient information within actual medical data signals obtained from a patient are provided wherein two watermarks, a robust watermark and a fragile watermark are embedded in a given medical data signal. The robust watermark includes a binary coded representation of the metadata that is incorporated into the frequency domain of the medical data signal using discrete Fourier transformations and additive embedding. Error correcting code can also be added to the binary representation of the metadata using Hamming coding. A given robust watermark can be incorporated multiple times in the medical data signal. The fragile watermark is added on top of the modified medical signal containing the robust watermark in the spatial domain of the modified medical signal. The fragile watermark utilizes hash function to generate random sequences that are incorporated through the medical data signal.

A packet filtering system for use with a host computer implementing a streams sub-system comprises a configuration component for maintaining a collection of configuration parameters based on user input, and a streams interface component for managing bi-directional transmission of packets according to the collection of configuration parameters. The configuration parameters may include sets of authorized port, protocol and address designations. The streams interface component preferably includes corresponding modules for port filtering, protocol filtering and address filtering whereby inbound and outbound packets which are not blocked by any of filtering modules are, respectively, passed upstream and downstream between an associated network device and the stream head. A computerized method for managing bi-directional transmission of packets, as well as a computer-readable medium having executable instructions for managing packet transmission, are also provided.

An apparatus and method for concealing an error in a frame using multiple frames are provided. A frame decoder decodes a bit stream of a received frame, and determines whether there is a defective macro block in the decoded frame. A buffer stores at least two previous frames decoded by the frame decoder, and outputs a decoded current frame according to a control signal. An error corrector, if there is a defective macro block in the current frame, searches for a candidate macro block most similar to the defective macro block in the current frame from the at least two previous frames stored in the buffer and restores the defective macro block by applying error variance-based weights to the respective macro blocks. A combining/outputting unit replaces the defective macro block in the current frame with the restored macro block.

According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a remote explosive detonation system includes a transmitter and at least one receiver having a detonator. The transmitter transmits an electro-magnetic signal having a transmitter identification code that may be received by the receiver. The receiver initiates the detonator if the transmitter identification code matches an internal identification code stored in the receiver.

A temporary tattoo for concealing and for blocking a permanent tattoo or other imperfections on an individual's skin includes a white opaque neutralizer base that effectively prevents read through of the underlying marking. The temporary tattoo includes at least one pigmented layer disposed on top of the white opaque neutralized base that is intended to meter the individual's skin tone and/or pigment. The temporary tattoo also includes one or more reintroduction layers disposed between the neutralized base and the at least are pigmented layer.

Methods and system for providing concealing camouflage of a position, hunter or observer using a shield or enclosure with a reflective exterior having exterior sides inclined towards the horizontal and observation portions of two-way mirror material. The shield or enclosures may be of any shape and may be of rigid sides permanently affixed to a frame, or be provided as collapsible or pop-up enclosures using temporary attachments and frames or poles. The enclosures may be entirely of two-way material. The reflective material may be mirror glass, any clear material treated on one surface with mirror coatings, or metalized cloth or film, including metalized polyester. A roof may be provided as non-reflective or reflective and may be flat or dome shaped. Two-way mirrored observation ports that open and close may be provided in any shape or position. The enclosure may conceal a boat, raft, or vehicle.

The invention relates to a utility pedestal cover which may be used to encapsulate and conceal a utility pedestal. The material of the sleeve member may be of a weatherproof material, and may include a fastening system to allow the sleeve to be selectively opened and closed along at least a portion of its length or height, or to attach sections of the cover. The invention also relates to a planter arrangement for concealment of a utility pedestal, wherein the planter includes at least one housing section with at least one planting well. The housing may have a height such that upon introducing plants in the planting medium, the plantings and the housing effectively conceal the utility pedestal. The planting well may have at least one drain hole therein. The housing may be formed in at least two sections, which may be selectively attached around the pedestal.

A hunter concealment system for effectively concealing a hunter without physically interfering with the hunter. The hunter concealment system includes a frame structure having a plurality of openings, a first rail and a second rail on opposing sides of each opening, a recoil unit attached to an end of each opening, a camouflage sheet retained within the recoil unit, a first connector attached to a handle member of the camouflage sheet, and a second connector attached to the frame for catchably receiving the first connector. The hunter concealment system is positioned over a goose pit or other location for the purpose of selectively concealing the hunter. When the hunter desires, they simply engage the handle member thereby releasing the first connector which allows the recoil unit to automatically draw the camouflage sheet into the recoil unit.
