The invention relates to a device for coding an input data signal into an encoded data signal, wherein the device comprises a quantizer for quantization of input data, mapping the input data on quantized data intervals, whereby a part of the input data is removed during quantization.
The invention also relates to a device for decoding a data signal wherein said data signal comprises a quantized data signal, wherein the device comprises a reconstructor for reconstructing a part of the data signal removed during quantization.
The invention also relates to a method for coding an input data signal wherein the input data signal is quantized, mapping the input data on quantized data intervals, whereby a part of the input data signal is removed and to a method for decoding a quantized data signal wherein the part of the data signal removed during quantization is reconstructed.
The invention furthermore relates to a data signal comprising quantized data.
A scalar quantizer is defined by its decision levels, which determine the input data range that is mapped onto each quantized data interval, as well as by the reconstruction values corresponding to each quantized data interval. Quantization implies that the accuracy of the quantized data is reduced compared to the non-quantized data; this is done in order to reduce the amount of information contained in the data. In the decoder and the decoding method the "inverse" process of quantization takes place, which is called reconstruction or sometimes also de-quantization. Ideally, during reconstructing the parts of the signal that were removed during quantization are reconstructed to provide the original signal. Quantization is for instance part of any non-lossless data compression scheme. The quantized data is usually efficiently compressed into a compressed data signal. The compressed signal may e.g. be stored on a data carrier or be transmitted to a decoder/decompression unit.
An often used quantization is truncation of least significant bits. The process of truncating, i.e. deleting, least significant bits is a type of quantization in which a uniform quantizer is used with a step corresponding to the number of truncated LSBs. Truncation of Least significant bits is in essence quantization with a quantized data interval of 2n(2, 4, 8, 16 etc).
Quantization, for instance truncating a number of least significant bits before compression, reduces the amount of data to be transferred, at a loss in information transferred. During reconstruction the 'lost' values for the removed part of the data, for instance for the truncated Least Significant Bits, are reconstructed. The reconstruction value is in known methods typically chosen to be in the middle of the step size interval corresponding to a certain quantizer index or quantization step. This is the case for e.g. H.261, MPEG-1, MPEG-2/H.262, H.263, JPEG-2000, and MPEG-4 Part 2. In the case of intra-frame DCT coefficients, which are known to have a distribution that is peaked around zero, a value that is more biased towards zero typically provides better performance. The disadvantage of using known methods for encoding and decoding is that they often result in a considerably high distortion of the reconstructed data signal, which for instance in the case of an image signal results in distortions in the image, especially when a relatively large number of least significant bits (i.e. much of the original information in the input signal) are deleted. The quantization-reconstruction provides for errors.
The invention aims to improve the quality of the reconstructed data signal while yet only requiring a limited amount of additional data to be transferred.
To this end the method of encoding according to the invention is one wherein statistical information is gathered prior to or during quantization of a set of input data, said statistical information providing information on the relation between the part of the input data removed during quantization and the quantized data, and information data comprising the statistical information is added to the encoded data signal.
The device for coding a data signal in accordance with the invention is one wherein the coding device comprises a determinator for determining statistical information prior to or during quantization of a set of data, said statistical information providing information on the relation between the part of the input data removed by quantization and the quantized data, and the device comprises a combining unit for adding information data comprising the statistical information determined by the determinator to the encoded data signal.
The method for decoding in accordance with the invention is one wherein the method comprises reconstructing the quantized data signal, wherein the data signal comprises information data providing statistical information on the relation between the quantized data signal and the parts of the original data signal removed during quantization, and the information data comprised in the quantized data signal is used for reconstructing the quantized data signal.
The device for decoding in accordance with the invention is one wherein the device comprises a reconstructor for reconstructing the quantized data signal, wherein the data signal comprises information data providing statistical information on the relation between the quantized data signal and the parts of the original data signal removed during quantization, and the device is arranged for receiving and reading the information data comprised in the data signal and the device is arranged for using the information data in reconstructing the quantized data signal.
The data signal in accordance with the invention is one wherein the data signal comprises information data providing statistical information on the relation between the part of the data removed during quantization and the quantized data.
In order to improve the data reconstruction and reduce the quantization error, in the invention statistical information is generated at the encoding end and said statistical information about the reconstruction values to be used during reconstruction (sometimes called "inverse quantization") is added to the encoded data signal. These reconstruction values, which can adapt to the input data statistics, are used instead of pre-determined fixed reconstruction values in the known methods. A reconstruction value is the value to be used during reconstruction for the reconstruction of the part of the data signal removed during quantization. At the decoding end the statistical information is used during the reconstruction.
The highest quality improvement is obtained by determining a reconstruction value for each quantized data interval, i.e. the information allows for each quantized data interval to find the reconstruction value for said quantized data interval. However, doing so would require a relatively large overhead. Especially for a compression application, it is preferable to optimize the trade-off between the improvement in reconstruction quality and the required number of bits (or bit rate) for sending the reconstruction values. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, reconstruction values are grouped for several input data intervals, i.e. there is a single reconstruction value is provided for the corrections for a set of quantized data intervals. "A set of" means here more than one. The reconstruction value itself may be send in the data or, in a more general sense, information on the reconstruction value.
A coding device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention is one wherein the quantizer comprises a splitter for splitting the data into Least Significant Bits and Most Significant Bits, and a truncator for truncating a number of least significant bits (LSBs) and the coding device comprises a compressor for compressing of the data signal wherein the determinator is a determinator for determining statistical information prior to or during truncating the Least Significant Bits, said statistical information providing information on the relation between the values of the truncated Least Significant Bits and Most Significant Bits.
The inventor has realized that, especially when Least Significant Bits are truncated, it is advantageous to find correlations between Most Significant Bits (which are present in the quantized data signal) and Least Significant Bits values (which are removed from the quantized data signal) and collect said statistical data prior to or during truncation of the Least Significant Bits. Using this statistical information in decoding enables a more accurate reconstruction to be achieved. The truncated LSB values can be, by using the gathered statistical relations between MSBs and truncated LSB values, more accurately reconstructed at the decoder end. The to be reconstructed LSB values are adaptable to the actual situation, i.e. to the actual information in the original data signal, which could be for instance an image signal. The inventors have found that the statistical relations between MSB data and LSB values are indeed present, can be gathered, and frequently significantly depart from simply taken a fixed point in the step size interval. The gathered statistical information is added to the encoded data signal, which increases the size of the data signal and thereby the amount of data to be handled. However, experiments have shown that the increase in decoder data quality, for instance in image quality when an image data signal is concerned, is much more than would be acquired when simply more image data would be transferred. Surprisingly relatively simple statistical information determining algorithms, requiring only limited computational power, already provide for substantial increases in image quality after decoding, while only requiring a very limited amount of additional data to be sent.
Statistical information on LSB values may be obtained in various ways for MSB values. In a first embodiment an average LSB value is determined for one or more MSB values for a data signal. In principle an average LSB value could be determined for each MSB value, but in preferred embodiments an average LSB value is determined for a number of MSB values. The MSB values are, preferably losslessly, compressed and the statistical data (i.e. the correlation between average deleted LSB value and one or preferably a group of MSB values) is added to the compressed data signal. At the decoder end, the compressed signal, which comprises the compressed MSB data, is decoded and decompressed, and using the statistical correlation between the MSB value and the at the decoder end truncated LSB value, the LSB values are used as a reconstruction value to reconstruct the original values.
In a second embodiment the image data is converted into image coefficients, such as DCT coefficients or wavelet coefficients prior to compression. A matrix of average LSB values for the various DCT coefficients is calculated and sent with the compressed data.
These and further aspects of the invention will be explained in greater detail by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The figures are not drawn to scale. Generally, identical components are denoted by the same reference numerals in the figures.
Truncating the Lowest Significant Bits reduces the accuracy of the data since some information is lost. However, the loss is often relatively small given the fact that the LSBs are the least significant. So, in a first step a number of least significant bits, in this example the lowest three, are truncated. Thereafter the remaining bits (the remaining bits are in this example per definition the most significant bits) are compressed and encoded. The encoded compressed data is transferred to a decoding device; the decoding device comprises a decoder and a decompressor. After decoding and decompression the most significant bits are reconstructed. However, the truncated least significant bits are still missing, since they were never sent. During reconstruction the 'lost' values for the truncated Least Significant Bits are reconstructed in a reconstructor. The reconstruction value is in known methods typically chosen to be in the middle of the step size interval corresponding to a certain quantizer index. This is the case for e.g. H.261, MPEG-1, MPEG-2/H.262, H.263, JPEG-2000, and MPEG-4 Part 2. In the case of intra-frame DCT coefficients, which are known to have a distribution that is peaked around zero, a value that is more biased towards zero typically provides better performance. The disadvantage of using fixed reconstruction values is that they result in a higher distortion than the optimal reconstruction values. This disadvantage is present when least significant bits are truncated or, more in general, for any quantization method in which fixed reconstruction values are used during reconstruction.
Various embodiments will be described herein below.
The core of the device 32 is formed by the splitting module 33, the MSB compressing device 7, a determinator 8 determining a statistical relation between MSB and LSB values and a combining unit 10. The operation of the core unit is as follows. Splitting module 33 receives a signal comprising units of two or more bits via line 31. The signal is split by the splitting module 33, in a manner which is known per se, into an MSB part, which comprises the most significant bit of the unit of two or more bits of the signal, and an LSB part, which does not comprise said most significant bit. The MSB part appears on line 5 and the LSB part appears on line 6. The compressing device 7 compresses the MSB part preferably without loss into a compressed MSB part on line 9.
A unit of two or more bits can be split by the splitting module 33 at one or more positions. The position at which said splitting takes place can be determined in various ways. The splitting module 33 may be permanently arranged for splitting a unit of two or more bits, entering via line 31 at, a predetermined position as is indicated by a control signal unit 14 which forms part of the splitting module 33. According to another possibility, the control signal unit may be arranged externally of the splitting module 33 as is indicated by a line 15 or a line 16. The line 16 forms the connection between a control input of the splitting module 3 and control signal unit 17. Control signal unit 17 generates a control signal which is independent of the signal on the line 31. The control signal generator 4, on the other hand, generates a control signal on line 15 which is dependent on the composition of the signal on line 1 that is to be compressed. Any one of the three possibilities, or a combination thereof, can be selected. In particular control signal unit 14 or control signal unit 4 may be so arranged that the splitting position is determined adaptively within a unit of two or more bits. Adapting the splitting position is a way to control the compression ratio. In general, the more bits are in the LSB part, the higher the compression ratio will be (since there are then more LSBs that are truncated and less MSBs that are compressed into the signal 12).
A digital input signal on line 31 which comprises units of two or more bits and is fed both to splitting module 33 and to control signal unit 4 is analyzed by the control signal unit 4 and split into two parts, that is, a most significant part and a least significant part, hereinafter also referred to as an MSB part and an LSB part, on the basis of the control signal that is delivered to splitting module 33 by the control signal unit 14 on line 15.
The device according to
Compared to previous methods this provides for a significant improvement: The known device and method effectively corresponds to quantizing the data using a uniform quantizer with a step size corresponding to the number of truncated LSBs (e.g. the quantizer step size is 8 in case 3 LSBs are truncated). During reconstruction in known methods the middle value of the interval [an offset of (Q−1)/2, where Q is the quantizer step size, i.e. the quantized data interval] is taken as the average reconstruction value for the truncated LSB. However, when a larger number of LSBs is truncated, the real average truncated LSB value can differ so much from the middle value of the quantized data interval that this leads to noticeable, for images visible, artifacts (especially in intensity jumps between independently compressed neighboring image segments). In the invention a statistical relation between MSB and LSB values is established. For instance during or before compression the average value of the LSBs corresponding to one or more MSB values is determined. "Statistical relation' is to be broadly interpreted: any method by which information is provided which allows in the decoder to reconstruct the truncated LSB value, as a function of the reconstructed MSB values, is a statistical relation, namely it couples the reconstructed MSB value to an LSB value which is then used to reconstruct the LSB value. Simple statistical relations, such as determining the average LSB value for an MSB value have surprisingly proven to give good results.
During decoding the MSB values are accurately reconstructed, since they never were truncated. By using the established average LSB values for reconstructed MSB values a much better reconstruction of the truncated LSB values is performed.
In embodiments multiple MSB values are grouped together, preferably basing the grouping on a subset of the MSBs for each sample.
For example, assume that 4 MSBs are losslessly compressed for each sample (so there are also 4 LSBs for each sample, in case of 8-bit data). If a reconstruction value for each MSB value is sent, 16 values need to be sent, using 16�4=64 bits. If, however, instead only the two most significant bits of the MSBs are considered, only 4 values need to be sent, for a total of 4�4=16 bits. The reconstruction values for the LSBs are then still determined as the average value of the LSBs for all samples of which the two most significant bits equal the selected respective value of 00, 01, 10, or 11. This is an example of a method and device in which for a set of MSBs a common reconstruction value is used.
Using only a small subset of the MSBs, rather than all the MSB values to calculate a statistical relation between MSB and LSB values is based on the following insight. When the image data is typical natural data the MSBs will compress well and thus the number of truncated LSBs (i.e. the quantizer step size) to meet the target compression ratio will be small and a difference in LSB reconstruction values will probably not be visible. Data that is difficult to compress, such as e.g. text, typically only uses a small set of MSB values. For example, for black & white text, it is sufficient to only look at the single most significant bit to provide completely lossless compression. Of course, the number of MSB subsets (as well as the MSB values belonging to each subset) to use could be determined adaptively, depending on the image data. In a preferred embodiment, a fixed number of 4 subsets is used, based on the two most significant bits of each image data sample. For each segment (part of an image line; e.g. 128 samples), the number of MSBs is determined, based on the target compression ratio and how well the MSBs compress and also taking into account the number of bits required to send the 4 LSB reconstruction values (i.e. 4 times the number of LSBs, which equals the number of bits per sample minus the number of MSBs).
To illustrate the performance depending on the number of LSB reconstruction values that are sent, an experiment was performed in which each segment of image data of 128 samples is compressed into 80 bytes (1.6� compression, because the data has 8 bits). The resulting PSNRs for several images and number of LSB reconstruction values are shown in Table 1.
PSNRs [dB] for several images and LSB reconstruction values
LSB values:
0 (i.e. fixed)
The image Target is a test image containing many different test patterns. Fonts is an image containing black & white text (hence the compression is lossless and the PSNR is infinite when 2 or more LSB reconstruction values are used). As can be seen the improvements obtained with the invention depend on the image content as well as the number of reconstruction values. A preferred embodiment uses 4 reconstruction values (as already explained above).). Whereas in the above example the LSB reconstruction values (averages) are sent at full accuracy, the LSB reconstruction values could of course also be further quantized and compressed. For example, when 4 LSBs are truncated, the reconstruction values in the signal could contain only the 2 most significant of these LSBs and the remaining 2 less significant bits could be replaced by a fixed value during reconstruction.
Quantization of Intra-frame DCT Coefficients
Image data are often converted into DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients before being compressed. The DCT coefficients are arranged in a matrix of DCT coefficients. Each of the DCT coefficients can be quantized using a different scalar quantizer. In the JPEG still image compression standard, for example, uniform quantizers are used and the quantization step size for each quantizer is specified using an 8�8 matrix of step sizes. A typical matrix is the following:
Thus, depending on the DCT coefficient or corresponding quantizer, the reconstruction values can have a different range: from 0 to 10 (or −5 to +5, when the middle of the range is taken as a bias) for the quantizer with the smallest step size up to 0 to 121 for the quantizer with the largest step size. In this example quantization is generally not performed by truncating least significant bits. Truncating least significant bits is equivalent to using a scalar quantizer of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc. For five of the coefficients the scalar quantizer is indeed 16 or 64 so for those DCT coefficients quantization would amount to truncation of a (4 respectively 6) number of least significant bits. For the other DCT coefficients, however, the quantization is not by a power of 2 (2n) so the quantization is somewhat more elaborate. For each of the coefficients the input data is divided by the scalar quantizer. This will give a quantized data plus a remainder (rem), where the 'remainder' is lost during quantization. For instance for an input value of 30, 50 and 95 the following quantization steps (also called "quantized data interval") would give the following quantized values with remainders:
Quantization step
quantization step
Qunatization step
The remainder is always somewhere between 0 and the maximum of the quantized data interval minus one. In the table also the averages of the remainder divided by the quantization step are indicated. If the average of the averages is taken a value of 0.48 is found, i.e. close to the middle value of the quantized data interval of the scalar quantizer, i.e. on average the remainder is often half the quantization step, as is used in the known methods. However, the table also shows that for many of the input data very significant errors occur if the reconstructed value is simply taken to be the quantized data+half the quantization step. In the prior art, the decoder receives the quantized data and reconstructs the data by multiplying the quantized data by the quantizer and add a fixed correction value.
The inventor have realized that, by calculating prior to or during the quantization statistical information on the relation between the quantized data and the remainder (=the correction value), the reconstruction can be greatly improved.
To give two simple examples:
If for a DCT coefficient with a scalar quantizer of 10 for a given picture the DCT value is 32�2 (with a gaussian distribution) over the picture, the standard method will provide a single value: 100% having a quantized value of 3. The decoder will, at the decoder end, multiply the value with the quantized data interval (=10), and add 5 (=0.5 times the quantized data interval) to the result, giving a single result: 35. The average has then be changed from the original 32 to the reconstructed 35 leading to image errors.
If for a DCT coefficient with a scalar quantizer of 10 for a given picture the DCT value is 30�4 (with a gaussian distribution) over the picture, the standard method will provide two values: 50% having a quantized value 2 and 50% having a quantized value 3. The decoder will, at the decoder end, multiply the quantized data value with the quantization data interval (=10) of the scalar quantizer, and add 5 to the result, giving two reconstruction values: 50% of the reconstructed data having a reconstructed value of 25, and 50% having a reconstructed value of 35. The original distribution in values prior to quantization (a gaussian distribution with a width of 4 around a peak value of 30, has thus been reconstructed by two peaks (at 25 and at 35) each lying outside the original distribution. The spread in signal has thus been greatly increased by the quantizing-dequantizing steps. This will lead to image errors.
In the invention the statistical relation between the quantized data (i.e. 2 or 3) and the remainder for these quantized data will be calculated prior to quantization. This will lead to an average remainder between 1 and 2 or between −1 and −2 depending on the used algorithm to calculate the average.
The following information is added to the data file for the decoder:
If quantized data=3, add 2 to dequantized data, if quantized data=2 add 8 (=10−2) to dequantized data. This will lead to two reconstructed values: 50% of the reconstructed data having a value of 28, 50% having a value of 32. Although the average value is the same as when using the prior art coding method, namely 30, the spread in the reconstructed values is strongly reduced, and is now more or less the same as in the original signal before quantization. The invention thus leads to a much improved reconstruction.
In a preferred embodiment, the correction values would be integers, such that they would be e.g. 0, 1, 2 . . . 9 (or −5, −4, . . . , 4, 5) for the quantizer with the smallest step size. In a preferred embodiment, a single correction value would be used for each quantizer, independent of the input data value (or corresponding quantizer level). In another preferred embodiment, the correction value would depend on the value of the input data. For example on the absolute value. For example, for the quantizer with step size 10, a first correction value could be used if the absolute value of the reconstruction value is smaller than e.g. 50, and a second correction value could be used if the absolute value were larger than 50. The number of different correction values that is used would typically depend on the probability density function (pdf) of the quantized data. In general, the more the slope of the pdf changes, the larger the benefit of using more different correction values becomes.
In the above embodiments relating to DCT coefficients scalar quantizers having widely varying quantized data intervals have been used.
In more simple arrangements, each of the DCT coefficients can be, e.g. in a method and device equivalent to the one described above in relation to previously described embodiments, split into an MSB part and an LSB part. The LSB value of each DCT coefficient can be truncated and the MSB data can be compressed. For instance the interval for truncating the LSB could be set at 32, i.e. the last 5 bits are truncated. The quantized data interval is then the same for all DCT coefficients, namely 25=32. Without correction of the reconstructed values (i.e. setting the missing least significant bits to zero) this resulted, in an experiment, in a PSNR of 31.62 dB. Applying a fixed correction of � of the interval (i.e. add a correction value of 32/4=8 during reconstruction) improved the PSNR to 32.52 dB.
This correction is better than applying the usually used fixed correction of � the interval, with a PSNR of 26.69 dB. However, it turns out that in this case a fixed correction of ⅛ of the interval is even better, since it results in a PSNR of 33.87 dB.
However, using the invention even better results are obtainable. A single correction value for the whole image for each DCT coefficient is determined. The correction was determined as the average error for each DCT coefficient across the whole image (i.e. across all DCT blocks) and rounding this to the nearest whole number. Since 5 bits are missing, the range of each correction value could in principle be 0 . . . 31. The actual range turns out to be only 2 . . . 16. In fact, the 8�8 matrix of correction values is:
This correction according to the invention improves the PSNR to 35.05 dB, an improvement over the best fixed correction case of 35.05−33.87=1.18 dB (or significantly more when a different fixed correction than ⅛ of the interval is used). In order to achieve the same PSNR improvement without the proposed invention, the bit rate would have to be increased from about 0.6 bit/pixel to about 0.7 bit/pixel, an increase of 16%. Since the image has 512�512=262144 pixels, an increase of 0.1 bit/pixel corresponds to an increase of about 26214 bits. This is much more than is required to send the correction matrix. Even a straightforward transmission, using 5 bits per entry, would require only 5�64=320 bits. For a more efficient transmission, the matrix entries would preferably be differentially transmitted (along a zigzag scan line), using also variable-length coding.
When looking at the visual quality of the compressed image, the improvement provided by the proposed invention is also clearly visible. In
For non-scalable compression methods, the correction matrix needs to be sent only once. For scalable compression methods, the range of the correction values changes after each subsequent bit plane has been received. Therefore, new correction values are preferable sent after each complete bit plane. To efficiently transmit them, an additional option (i.e. in addition to sending them differentially according to the zigzag scan) is to send the correction values differentially compared to the values for the same coefficients after the previous bit plane (e.g. by using the previous correction value divided by 2 as a prediction of the new correction value).
The invention can be applied to improve the quality of quantized data. It is especially beneficial in the area of image or video compression and could become part of future standards in this area. The transferred information could also be sent in a backward-compatible way in a standard bit stream, as part of the "private data" or "auxiliary data" (so those new decoders knowing how to interpret this data can benefit), or be enabled by a simple extension of an already existing standard (so all new decoders know how to interpret the data and can benefit), such as a new SEI message definition for MPEG4-AVC/H.264.
The incoming encoded quantized and (in this example also) compressed signal 12 is received. The signal 12 is parsed and the part of the signal providing information on the MSB is decoded and decompressed (23). The signal part comprising the statistical information providing information on the relation between the part of the input data removed during quantization (=LSB) and the quantized data (MSB), i.e. LSB=F(MSB), is sent to reconstructor 22. In this example the statistical information data is sent directly. In case the statistical information data would itself be compressed, the statistical information data would first be decompressed before being sent to the reconstructor 22 or the reconstructor 22 would have a part for decompressing the statistical information data. The reconstructor 22 comprises a determinator 81. Said determinator has as inputs the MSB values and the statistical information LSB=F(MSB). Using the information on the statistical relation between the decoded MSB values and the MSB values themselves the corresponding LSB values are determined in the determinator 81. The MSB and LSB values are combined in combiner 82.
The invention can be applied to the quantization of all kinds of data or signals. For example subband transform coefficients, wavelet transform coefficients, Walsh-Hadamard transform coefficients, video signals, images, audio signals, speech signals, spectral data, radar signals, etc.
In short the invention can be described as follows:
In a method for encoding and an encoder statistical information is generated and said statistical information about the reconstruction values to be used during reconstruction (sometimes called "inverse quantization") is added to the encoded data signal. The encoded data signal comprises data information providing information on the relation between parts of the original input data removed during quantization and the quantized data. The decoder and decoding method use the information data during reconstruction. This enables reconstruction values to be used during reconstruction that can adapt to the input data statistics thereby improving data reconstruction and reducing the quantization error. A reconstruction value is the value to be used during reconstruction for the reconstruction of the part of the data signal removed during quantization. The reconstruction at the decoder is guided by information data which is gathered at the encoder, this information data being derived from determining statistical information on the removed parts of the input data in relation to the after quantization remaining quantized data.

Dear Editor: You can take Defensive Driving to remove a traffic ticket from your driving record. Your insurance does not go up, and you can get 10 percent off your auto insurance for the next three years. Visit http://beam.to/autosafety. Taking Defensive Driving (some states call it Traffic School) is a wise thing to do.

COMMERCE, TX -- Commerce Police are investigating a suspicious trail derailment on Sunday.
Police Chief Kerry Crews says four boxcars that were parked on a storage rail were unhooked and rolled down a hill. A train derailer prevented the boxcars from going further.
Crews believes foul play was involved, because the manual and air brakes were released and the boxcars were unhooked from the rest of the train.

We have performed capacitance-voltage (C-V) and thermally-stimulated-current (TSC) measurements on non-radiation-hard MOS capacitors simulating screen oxides of modern bipolar technologies. For O-V irradiation at /spl sim/25/spl deg/C, the net trapped-positive-charge density (N/sub ox/) inferred from midgap C-V shifts is /spl sim/25-40% greater for low-dose-rate (<10 rad(SiO/sub 2/)/s) than for high-dose-rate (>100 rad(SiO/sub 2/)/s) exposure. Device modeling shows that such a difference in screen-oxide N/sub ox/ is enough to account for the enhanced low-rate gain degradation often observed in bipolar devices, due to the /spl sim/exp(N/sub ox//sup 2/) dependence of the excess base current. At the higher rates, TSC measurements reveal a /spl sim/10% decrease in trapped-hole density over low rates. Also, at high rates, up to /spl sim/2.5-times as many trapped holes are compensated by electrons in border traps than at low rates for these devices and irradiation conditions. Both the reduction in trapped-hole density and increased charge compensation reduce the high-rate midgap shift. A physical model is developed which suggests that both effects are caused by time-dependent space charge in the bulk of these soft oxides associated with slowly transporting and/or metastably trapped holes (e.g. in E/sub /spl delta//' centers). On the basis of this model, bipolar transistors and screen-oxide capacitors were irradiated at 60/spl deg/C at 200 rad(SiO/sub 2/)/s in a successful effort to match low-rate damage. These surprising results provide insight into enhanced low-rate bipolar gain degradation and suggest potentially promising new approaches to bipolar and BiCMOS hardness assurance for space applications.<>

Aldomet...so tired
♥Me (35), DH (30), DS 3/8/10♥
♥STILL Praying for MIRACLE for Baby Scarlett!♥
Comments (8)
hi:) i was on aldomet/methyldopa almost my entire 1st pregnancy back in 2007. not to scare you, but i felt like CRAP almost all of the time:( i just tried to keep telling myself that i HAD to be on it for the baby. and i tried to rest ALOT. but, somehow & someway i got through it and had a very healthy baby girl who is almost 6 yrs old now and our pride and joy!:) best of luck & remember you can get through it!
oh, and forgot to say-my 1st prenatal appt is coming up in a week or so and i'm almost sure they will put me on aldomet again-sigh...-round 2! best of luck to all of us <3
♥Me (35), DH (30), DS 3/8/10♥
♥STILL Praying for MIRACLE for Baby Scarlett!♥
I'm taking aldomet 3 times a day. Its rough. I feel exhausted all the time. My labetalol does too.
Shonda + Trey = James Alexander (Born Sleeping on 8-17-12) & Natalie Claire 8-10-13
Go home MOOSE, you're drunk.
hi all:) just a quick update to let you all know that about 3 weeks ago at my 1st appt.-wham i'm officially back on aldomet-sigh... but, i've decided that like some other ladies i'm just taking a less dosage in the morning and more at night. it is very rough some days being soooo tired but i'm trying to just stay positive. i cannot stand this med, but i know i have to take it. it is just so hard with having a stressful job and keeping up with a 5 year old too and just everyday duties, etc... praying for everyone. i know we will make it and survive, but damn aldomet sucks! lol
Bringing an old thread back to life! I was just put on aldomet last week and am so tired that I cannot function and it is making me frustrated/depressed just to be so tired! I am 11 days postpartum. Labetalol didn't work for me. Any help/stories/advice?

Because those who can't do teach (or make documentaries), apparently. He told Conan O'Brien (via Huffington Post) that after another failed sideline -- actually making porn -- he decided to take a look at one facet of the industry instead:
I got a video camera and my girlfriend and I decided to film ourselves. We watched it back and said, 'yeah, well, let's never watch that again. Those people in pornos, they are great performers. They're not just doing it, they're selling it to an audience.
(Porn aficionado is the new foodie. Discuss).

Anyway, Franco says he's turning his scattered talents toward directing a doc about San Francisco's Kink.com (NSFW), a repository of whips, chains and latex.
Have fun, James. Just don't forget what pays the bills (hint: It's not making porn docs or teaching poetry).

ATLANTA -- In a surprising move, the Atlanta Falcons released 11-year veteran nose tackle Grady Jackson on Tuesday.
Jackson, who had started in all 23 games since signing with the franchise as an unrestricted free agent in 2006, has long been regarded as one of the NFL's top interior defenders against the run.
No explanation was given for the release, but sources said Atlanta coaches felt that Jackson was not playing the scheme prescribed for him and was freelancing too much.
The abrupt release of Jackson, who physical presence and ability to demand double-team blocking helped improved the Falcons' run defense in 2006, ends a brief but tumultuous relationship between the team and the player.
In March, Jackson, upset over his contract status, sued the Falcons for defamation and invasion of privacy, claiming team officials had leaked information to the media about the physical examination he took with the club in 2006. Jackson charged that the negative information, which suggested he might have a heart condition, scared off other potential suitors who might have considered signing him.
The lawsuit was eventually resolved and the Falcons reworked Jackson's contract, adding a year to the deal he originally signed in 2006 and providing him a mechanism to earn more money. Under the new deal, the Falcons paid Jackson a $250,000 signing bonus and a roster bonus of $250,000, in addition to his $1 million base salary for 2007.
Jackson, 35, was under contract through 2009, at base salaries of $1 million each year and with roster bonuses of $2 million in the spring of 2008 and 2009.
Although he is a vested veteran, Jackson is subject to waivers claims, since the league's trade deadline has passed. Teams may be reluctant to assume his current contract, but if Jackson clears waivers his run-stuffing ability could make him an attractive free agent for teams seeking tackle help over the second half of the season.
Few players can clog the inside like Jackson and, even at his age, he is still effective.
In 146 career games, Jackson has 440 tackles, 33½ sacks, eight forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 26 pass deflections.
The former Knoxville College star began his career with the Oakland Raiders and played there for five seasons (1997-2001). He has also had stints with New Orleans (2002-03), Green Bay (2004-05) and the Falcons (2006-07).
Atlanta, which ranks 22nd in the league in defense versus the run, is expected to move rookie Trey Lewis, a sixth-round pick who has played well in filling in at both tackles spots this year, into the starting lineup.

I stayed here by myself for 3 nights in March after spending a week in Montego Bay with a volunteer medical team. Rockhouse was the perfect place for me to unwind and relax. I felt safe and I was so impressed with the service, the food, the spa, my garden room, Pristine Cove... it was just perfect.
I stayed in a garden room which I thought was gorgeous, lush, and comfortable. It was right next to the spa which I visited each day. There is AC in the room if you want it or you can leave the blinds open and fall asleep under the ocean breeze. I loved the scented aloe vera gel provided in the bathroom, the basket of treats in the room and the fridge full of Red Stripe & Ting! The bed was comfortable and my room was beautiful.
I loved the spa, I felt very welcome there and the ladies working there were friendly and good at their jobs :) The gift shop has a lot of interesting, beautiful and unique items. I enjoyed exploring the grounds, the gardens are well cared for, the pool is clean and in an amazing location overlooking the ocean. One morning I watched a turtle swimming around in the water below the pool and another day I saw a dolphin swim by! I spent every day on a lounge chair under an umbrella staring at the scenery then taking time to cool off in the pool or snorkel in the blue warm water.
The food and the service at the restaurants are awesome. Creative, fresh, flavorful food at all 3 restaurants: Jerk pork sausage & shrimp skewers, curried conch with coconut rice at Push Cart, fried snapper sandwich with jerk mayo and a Rockachino (frozen coffee drink) from the poolside bar, coconut snapper with escoveitch, rum & chocolate mousse at Rockhouse Restaurant. The sunsets are legendary.
So thankful for the wonderful service: from the front desk, the spa, the gift shop, grounds crew, housekeeping staff, everyone was kind, smiled, and wanted to help make your stay the best it could be. Highly recommend Rockhouse Hotel!

I wonder if it will be like a Honeymooners 2. Now that would be awesome.
Maybe like vs the Subway Part 2…kind of like the last bit of Speed where Keanu Reeves has to fight the bad guy on top of the subway, then speed up the train at the end.
Or like Mission Impossible 1995 where Chuck has to jump onto a helicopter from a speeding train…
Well, that would suggest a European locale. Yvonne was tweeting vaguely about various countries in Europe as well as in a foreign language this week and from things I've heard that should be about the episode that they are filming, so that would fit!
