Excerpt: The NAB's Dennis Wharton says that by the time February 17, 2009 arrives, many people would have replaced their traditional TV sets with news sets anyway. With most of the current sets on store shelves having built-in digital decoders, he feels consumers will embrace the new technology.Governmental UsageCivil Liberties in Morocco. The Government owns the only television stations whose broadcasts may be received in most parts of the nation without decoders or satellite dish antennas.Historical Economy in Argentina. The sub-sectors presenting the highest sales potential are: wireless equipment and services, data communication equipment, VoIP, personal communications services (PCS), telecom sites infrastructure equipment and services, fiber optic terminals and accessories, tele-supervision of fiber optic connections, software for management of telecommunications networks, set top boxes, fixed wireless systems (for rural telephony), WLL, MMDS and LMDS technology; call centers, satellite transmission and reception equipment and decoders.Historical Economy in Jamaica. Parliament amended the Act in June 1999. The amendments seek to make explicit the provision of copyright protection on compilation of works such as databases and to make it an offense for a person to manufacture or trade in decoders of encrypted transmissions.Historical Economy in Jamaica. The Amendment also makes it an offense for a person to manufacture or trade in decoders of encrypted transmissions.Political Economy in NIGERIA. Many of these stations utilize large satellite dishes and decoders to pull in transmissions for rebroadcast, providing unfair competition for legitimate public and private television stations.Patent Usage7-channel transmission, compatible with 5-channel transmission and 2-channel transmission: Patented by Warner R. Ten Kate and Leon M. Van De Kerkhof on February 6, 1997. Abstract: A 7-channel encoder and corresponding decoder is disclosed for encoding a 7-channel signal into a transmission signal which is backwards compatible, so that prior art MPEG-1 2-channel decoders are capable of decoding the transmission signal into a compatible stereo signal, prior art MPEG-2 5-channel decoders are capable of decoding the transmission signal into a compatible 5-channel signal. Further, a 7-channel decoder is disclosed for decoding the transmission signal into a 7-channel signal. (FIG. 2).A Method and Apparatus for Performing Dc-Offset Compensation in a Radio Receiver: Patented by Niklas StenstrÖm, Bengt Lindoff and Nils Kullendorf on June 21, 2000. Abstract: In order to increase accuracy of DC-offset compensation within radio receivers and to ensure that such compensation does not erode the dynamics of the decoders located within the receivers, the present invention separately performs mean value estimation and channel estimation. Additionally, a bias DC offset value caused by the use of a training sequence to perform mean value estimation can be corrected for in the channel estimator and equalizer.A System and Method for Shared Decoding Using a Data Replay Scheme: Patented by Mark Greenberg and Manish Shah on September 17, 2002. Abstract: A system and method are described in which a decoder decodes data from a plurality of data streams. In one embodiment, the decoder is restored to the state it was in the last time it processed data from each data stream by re-decoding data stored in a replay buffer before decoding new data from each respective data stream. In one embodiment, multiple decoders are grouped together to process data from a plurality of satellite transponders.Address decoding . . semiconductor memory: Patented by Hee-Choul Park and Kook-Hwan Kwon on November 7, 1996. Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for receiving and decoding address information applied to a synchronous semiconductor m
