Bit-serial compression process improved by inclusion of character-repeat (character) mode. During the compression process in a bit serial (bit) mode, using a predictive scheme with code words for each predicted bit, the characters, typically bytes (eight bits), are assembled bit by bit. Each assembled...http://www.google.de/patents/US4799242?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US4799242 - Multi-mode dynamic code assignment for data compression
