Abstract: A video decoding apparatus is provided with a rearrangement
unit 101 including a buffer memory 206 for storing VOP data, and
a comparator 204 for comparing a VOP display time of a received
VOP with a VOP display time Td' of VOP data which has been most-recently
outputted from the buffer memory 206 to a decoding unit
102. When VOP data of a previous VOP arrives at the
rearrangement unit 101 after VOP data of a subsequent VOP and
later than its sending time, the rearrangement unit 101 outputs
VOP data of VOPs from the previous VOP to a target VOP to be
displayed at this point of time, as a video stream VOPstr, to the
decoding unit 102. Therefore, the decoding unit 102 can resume
decoding from the VOP data of the previous VOP, whereby
degradation in picture quality of a decoded picture is prevented
from propagating through subsequent decoded pictures.

IPC: H02K23/30
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: An armature for a brush commutated electric motor having a distributed
coil winding arrangement for reducing brush arcing and electro-magnetic interference
(EMI). The winding pattern involves segmenting each coil into first and second subcoil
portions with differing pluralities of turns. Each subcoil portion is wound around
separate pairs of spaced apart slots of a lamination stack. Adjacent coils are wound such
that one subcoil portion of each is wound in a common slot to therefore form an
overlapping arrangement of each pair of adjacently coils. The winding pattern serves to
"shift" the resultant magnetic axes of each coil in such a manner so as to significantly
reduce brush arcing and the EMI resulting therefrom. The reduction in EMI is sufficient
to eliminate the need for EMI reducing components, such as chokes, which have
typically been required to maintain EMI to acceptably low levels. Commutation
efficiency is also improved by the distributed winding pattern described above because
of the reduction in the unevenness of the magnetic coupling between adjacent coils.

Abstract: In a mass spectrometer system, ions travel through
an orifice (26) in an inlet plate (28) into a first
vacuum chamber (30) containing AC-only rods (32), and
then through an orifice (34) into a second vacuum chamber
(38) containing a standard quadrupole (40). The second
vacuum chamber is held at low pressure, e.g. .02
millitorr or less, but the product of the pressure in the
first chamber times the length of the AC-only rods is
held above 2.25 X 10 -2  torr cm, preferably between 6 X 10 -2 
and 15 X 10 -2  torr cm, and the DC voltage between the
inlet plate and the AC-only rods is kept low, e.g.
between 1 and 30 volts, preferably between 1 and 10
volts. This produces a large enhancement in ion signal,
with less focussing aberration and better sensitivity at
high masses, and also allows the use of smaller, cheaper
pumps so the system can be more easily transportable.

Abstract: The manufacturing of a piston (6) for a swash plate compressor
comprises the following steps: An Al-Si alloy containing 7 to 18wt% of
silicon is die casted and therefore needs not to be melted in a sand
mold to refine (finely disperse) the eutectic Si phase in order to
increase shock resistance. The die casting includes quenching (rapid
cooling) of the aluminium alloy, to influence the shape of the eutectic
silicon particles. Before the step of the quenching of the molten alloy,
Na or Sr are added in quantities ranging from 20 to 1000ppm either
simultaneously or independently. The spherically shaped silicon
particles increase wear resistance of the piston, because stress
concentrations in the material can be avoided during piston operation.
