A macro block size determining unitdetermines the size of each macro block on a frame-by-frame basis. A macro block dividing unitdivides an inputted image into macro blocks each having the size determined by the macro block size determining unit. A macro block coding unitdetermines a coding mode for each of the macro blocks divided by the macro block dividing unit, and codes pixel values in each of the macro blocks in the determined coding mode.

Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I, P, B, B, B, B, P, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

Randomly accessible visual information recording medium and recording method, and reproducing device and reproducing method

Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I1, P1, B1, B2, B3, B4, P2, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

A moving image encoding apparatus for dividing a moving image into a plurality of rectangular regions and encoding the moving image in a unit of the rectangular region. There is a rectangular region size determiner which determines a variable size of the rectangular region, a rectangular region divider which divides an inputted image into the rectangular region, and a rectangular region encoder which determines a coding mode for the rectangular region, and encodes pixel values in the rectangular region.

A terminal attaching/detaching device includes a housing, an engaging member, and a movable member. The engaging member is configured to move in a first direction toward a terminal inserted in the housing to engage with the terminal, and is configured to move from the terminal inserted in the housing in a second direction to disengage from the terminal. The movable member is configured to move in concert with the engaging member in the moving process thereof in the first direction, and is configured to move the engaging member from the terminal inserted in the housing in the second direction, so that the engaging member is disengaged from the terminal.

Terminal attaching/detaching device

A bit stream generating method, generating apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium. The bit stream generating method includes determining a size of rectangular region for a sequence, determining a coding mode for the rectangular region, dividing the rectangular region into the prediction blocks, acquiring differences between the predicted image and the pixel values, dividing the rectangular region of the prediction error into blocks, and multiplexing information about the size of the rectangular region for the sequence.

A terminal holding member has a tubular shape and includes an accommodation portion into which an electroconductive member is inserted. The terminal holding member elastically holds a mating terminal and the electroconductive member when the mating terminal is inserted into a gap that is formed between the terminal holding member and the electroconductive member inserted into the accommodation portion. The terminal holding member includes a bottom portion that supports a bottom surface of the electroconductive member inserted into the accommodation portion, a surface-contact portion that faces the bottom portion and that is capable of coming into surface-contact with a first surface of the mating terminal, and a spring portion that connects the bottom portion and the surface-contact portion to each other so that the terminal holding member has spring properties with which the surface-contact portion is urged toward the bottom portion.

Terminal holding member and clamping device including terminal holding member and electroconductive member

An intra-scene and inter-scene adaptive coding unitconverts an MPEG-2 video bit stream into a slave stream by using both coded data which is included in the coded data about scene video units in a master stream recorded in a data recording unitand for which alternative coded data to be used for prediction reference has not been retrieved by an inter-scene prediction determining unit, and coded data retrieved by the inter-scene prediction determining unitfor the prediction reference.

Image coding device, image decoding device, image coding method, and image decoding method

A moving image decoding apparatus and decoding method. The apparatus comprises an entropy decoder, a rectangular region size determiner, and a rectangular region decoder. The rectangular region decoder includes a motion compensator performing motion compensation prediction on a motion compensation region using a motion vector information to obtain a prediction image. Further, there is a transformer performing an inverse quantization and inverse orthogonal transformation process based on the block size indication information.

A moving image decoding apparatus and method for decoding an encoded bit stream. The encoded bit stream is obtained by dividing a moving image into rectangular regions and coding the rectangular regions as units. The apparatus includes a rectangular region size decoder, a rectangular region size determiner, a coding mode decoder, and a rectangular region decoder.
