An apparatus basically uses a simple and compact multi-axis magnetic lens to focus each of a plurality of charged particle beams on sample surface at the same time. In each sub-lens module of the multi-axis magnetic lens, two magnetic rings are respectively inserted into upper and lower holes with non-magnetic radial gap. Each gap size is small enough to keep a sufficient magnetic coupling and large enough to get a sufficient axial symmetry of magnetic scale potential distribution in the space near to its optical axis. This method eliminates the non-axisymmetric transverse field in each sub-lens and the round lens field difference among all sub-lenses at the same time; both exist inherently in a conventional multi-axis magnetic lens. In the apparatus, some additional magnetic shielding measures such as magnetic shielding tubes, plates and house are used to eliminate the non-axisymmetric transverse field on the charged particle path from each charged particle source to the entrance of each sub-lens and from the exit of each sub-lens to the sample surface.

An intraprediction method which improves compression efficiency using the symmetry of a video image in the intraprediction of the video, and a video encoding and decoding method and apparatus using the intraprediction method. The intraprediction method includes performing intraprediction by predicting a first region to be encoded in a video based on axial symmetry of a second region of the video with respect to a predetermined axis.

A tooth system (1) for a tool (2) for earth moving machinery (3) is disclosed, which tooth system is of the type embodying a holder (4) located on the tool and a front tooth portion (5) that is detachably arranged on and in relation to the holder, which tooth portion is in the form of a replaceable wear and / or replacement part designed for the actual earth moving (W) and embodies a rear leg and the holder embodies a cavity (14) designed to receive the leg in interaction with the tooth portion and thereby achieve a unified joint (A, B, C, D) for assimilation of occurring loads (Fs, Fc, Fp) via a predetermined connection geometry embodying special, opposite, mutually interacting contact surfaces (15) and, at least initially, clearance surfaces (16) that are arranged along the tooth portion and holder. Thus, in accordance with the present invention one has achieved an improved tooth system distinguished by the tooth leg and holder cavity, along at least a front part of said joint (A, B, C, D), to have a multi-armed, preferably cruciform, cross section comprising at least four projection arms (31, 32, 33, 34) and at least four grooves (24, 28, 29, 30) each that interact with each projecting arm, respectively, which projection arms comprise an, essentially, vertically arranged, upper arm (31), an, essentially vertically arranged, lower heel (34) and two, essentially horizontally and laterally arranged, wing portions (32, 33), wherein a tensioning device (41) is arranged in the rear part (19) of the cavity in order to achieve adjustable tensioning that tightens the tooth portion in relation to the holder, essentially axially along the axial symmetry axis Y of the cavity.
