A method and apparatus for encoding digital image data wherein region of interest can be specified either before the encoding process has begun or during the encoding process, such that the priority of the encoder outputs are modified so as to place more emphasis on the region of interest, therefore increasing the speed andor increasing the fidelity of the reconstructed region of interest. Multiplexer circuitry may be interposed between the first and second sets of look-up tables. The contents of the game executed on the game device for use at home are changed based on the judgement information output from the game device for business. The resultant cavity in the shape of the inductor is filled with conductive material to form an inductor within the magnetically permeable material block. Further, a method provides a way to strand the coil line elements under a strand-turn resistant load while heat treating the coil line elements.
