Compressed domain processors configured to perform operations on data compressed in a format that preserves order. The Compressed domain processors may include operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, sorting, and searching. In some cases, compression engines for compressing the data into the desired formats are provided.

An arithmetic encoder for encoding a plurality of symbols having symbol values is configured to derive an interval size information for an arithmetic encoding of one or more symbol values to be encoded based on a plurality of state variable values representing statistics of a plurality of previously encoded symbol values with different adaptation time constants. The arithmetic encoder is configured to map a first state variable value, or a scaled and/or rounded version thereof, using a lookup-table and to map a second state variable value, or a scaled and/or rounded version thereof using the lookup-table, in order to obtain the interval size information describing an interval size for the arithmetic encoding of one or more symbols to be encoded. Further arithmetic encoders, arithmetic decoders, video encoders, video decoder, methods for encoding, methods for decoding and computer programs are also disclosed which are based on the same concept and on other concepts.

A system for transmitting data over an optical communication path is configured to receive data to be encoded in a bitstream for transmission using an optical communication path and encodes the received data to obtain a bitstream. The system is further configured to determine that the bitstream includes a sequence of consecutive bits, and obtain a power level at which to transmit a portion of the bitstream based on a count of the consecutive bits in the sequence. The system may be configured to selectively activate a light source at a power level according to a modulation scheme to optically transmit the portion of the bitstream at the power level.

A method compares text strings having Unicode encoding. The method receives a first string S=s.sub.1s.sub.2 . . . s.sub.n and a second string T=t.sub.1t.sub.2 . . . t.sub.m, where s.sub.1, s.sub.2, . . . , s.sub.n and t.sub.1, t.sub.2, . . . , t.sub.m are Unicode characters. The method computes a first string weight for the first string S according to a weight function . When S consists of ASCII characters, (S)=S. when S includes one or more non-replaceable non-ASCII characters, the first string weight (S) is a concatenation of an ASCII weight prefix .sub.A(S) and a Unicode weight suffix .sub.U(S). The method also computes a second string weight for the second text string T. Equality of the strings is tested using the string weights.
