The reason why I "pluralised" it is because there are several AC
coefficients on a MB (if I understood correctly, all of the
coefficient of he MB are AC except the first one which is called DC).

only the capitalization, if you do not agree, ahem, I guess it means
it's not clear-cut, so maybe someone with great knowledge should help
