Patent EP-0897635-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RYAN JOHN O
IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1997-05-07
Abstract: A video signal is modified so that a television/receiver still produces a normal picture from the modified signal, whereas videotape recording of this signal produces generally unacceptable pictures. Videotape recorders have an automatic gain control circuit (Fig. 2) which measures the sync pulse level in a video signal and develops a gain control correction signal for keeping the video applied to an FM modulator in the videotape recording system at a fixed predetermined level. A portion of the back porch intervals following the trailing edges of a substantial number of sync pulses are significantly raised and lowered to improve the playability of the original signal without reducing the effectiveness of the copy protection of the copied signal. This is achieved most simply by adding pulses to selected lines of the video signal during the back porch interval, which pulses significantly raise or lower the voltage amplitude during the blanking interval so to provide a signal where the average value is approximately equal to the blanking interval. The sync level and the sync duration on the selected lines are also reduced to enhance the effectiveness of the process.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des données qui sont transmises par un code source avec protection d'erreurs, et une pluralité de codes. Dans un même code, tous les mots de code sont de longueur égale, les longueurs de mots changeant d'un code à l'autre. Un préfixe de code, associé à chaque code, indique la longueur des mots de code du code. Dans une transmission, les mots de code sont imbriqués aux préfixes de codes de sorte que le récepteur puisse déterminer quel est le code qui a été utilisé. Les signaux reçus sont traités à la fois vers l'avant et vers l'arrière. Cette façon de procéder sert à isoler des parties du signal qui contiennent des préfixes de codes erronés. Ces parties sont exclues du traitement suivant.

Abstract: A high strength, lightweight camshaft (1) for an internal combustion engine is proposed
which comprises a shaft body (3) having an axially oriented hollow interior (21) extending a
predetermined length from between a pair of spaced points, respectively, adjacent the
ends of the shaft body. Plural camshaft journal bearings (7a-7g) are spaced apart on the shaft
body and include a pair of end camshaft journal bearings (7a-7g) positioned adjacent the
ends of the shaft body, respectively, with at least one inner camshaft journal bearing
positioned intermediate the pair of end camshaft journal bearings. Each end camshaft
journal bearing has a lubricant transfer means (15a,15b) formed therein for receiving lubricant
from an external supply and for transferring lubricant into the hollow interior of the
camshaft. At least one radial hole is formed in the shaft body for providing lubricant
from the hollow interior to an inner camshaft journal bearing (11a-11e) wherein the lubricant
transfer means associated with the pair of end camshaft journals provides at least two
paths for lubricant to flow into the hollow interior of the camshaft for providing an
even distribution of lubrication to each inner camshaft journal bearing during operation
of the internal combustion engine. A supply of lubricant always remains in the
camshaft to assist in lubricating the camshaft journal bearings during engine start-up.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for labeling containers allows labeling of containers by wrap around labeling without applying an adhesive on the leading edge of the label. Labels are held on a label drum and moved into a label applying position while containers are fed into the label applying position. Air is blown from a first position on the label drum onto the leading edge of the label at an angle to the label drum surface and in a direction backward along the label from the leading edge to force the leading edge of the label against the container, while also minimizing the laminar flow of air under the label. After the leading edge of the label has engaged the container, air is blown from a second position on the label drum spaced from the first position onto the label and container at an angle to the label drum surface to maintain a laminar flow of air over the label and maintain the label tight against the container during container rotation. The leading edge is maintained on the container by wet adhesion or by air which is blown onto the label and container from first and second angled positions on the side opposite the label drum. Air can also be blown from a third position on the label drum spaced from the first and second positions onto the leading edge of the label after the container has rotated almost 360 degrees to maintain the label tight against the container during the final part of the wrapping process.
