Abstract
Abstract A method for reducing the information transmitted in the variable length encoding of numerical data blocks with encoding of single values and string lengths of a consecutive value ("run lengths"). Advantageously, the system eliminates that transmission of the last element in a string of recurrent values preceded by a "run length" and followed by another "run length" or by a data block end. When the string of recurrent values has a length of only one element, the single element is not transmitted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A method for reducing the information transmitted in variable length encoding of numerical data blocks with encoding of values and string lengths defined as "run lengths", said method comprising eliminating the transmission of the last recurrent value in a string of recurrent values, when said string of recurrent values are preceded by a "run length" and followed by another "run length" or by a block end symbol.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
67 words
A method for reducing the information transmitted in variable length encoding of numerical data blocks with encoding of values and string lengths defined as "run lengths", said method comprising eliminating the transmission of the last recurrent value in a string of recurrent values, when said string of recurrent values are preceded by a "run length" and followed by another "run length" or by a block end symbol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 1, in which, when the string of recurrent values comprises a string of one value, it is not transmitted.
