Abstract: Le codage par compression vidéo intratrame uniquement de chaque trame vidéo successive se fait de la même manière que le codage par compression vidéo intratrame sur les trames d'ancrage I en MPEG-2, et chaque trame est identifiée comme étant codée par compression vidéo intratrame de la même manière que les trames d'ancrage I en MPEG-2. Le codeur permettant d'effectuer ce codage est plus simple que celui qui permet de coder les trames P et les trames B, ainsi que les trames I, puisqu'il ne nécessite pas de circuit d'estimation de mouvement. L'utilisation d'un codeur de ce type dans un caméscope numérique réduit la consommation de courant fourni par la pile et permet de diminuer le poids et les dimensions dudit caméscope. La compression vidéo intratrame uniquement facilite le montage vidéo. De nombreux systèmes qui permettent le montage vidéo comportent déjà un décodeur MPEG-2, si bien que l'ajout d'un décodeur décodant le flux de transport de trames I sans faire intervenir de trames P ou B n'entraîne pas de coût supplémentaire. Si le système ne comporte pas de décodeur MPEG-2, l'ajout d'un décodeur de ce type représente un coût raisonnable, puisque l'importance du matériel dans ledit décodeur est nettement inférieure à celle d'un codeur MPEG-2.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a material type in an article (20; 21), such as wholly or partly transparent bottle of plastic or glass, including, with the aid of a detector station (1-16, 18, 19, 25), irradiating the article with rays from an infrared radiation source (1), detecting rays which have passed through the article non-absorbed, and then carrying out a correlation analysis of such detected rays. The article is made to pass through the detector station (1-16, 18, 19, 25) in a continuous or discontinuous movement. The rays from the radiation source (1) are successively filtered by the filters (10) consisting of wholly or partly transparent materials which have different spectral characteristics. The rays filtered by the filters and non-absorbed by the article are intercepted in order to form a sequence of measured values representing characteristic transmission signatures of the article. A correlation analysis of the signatures is carried out in relation to statistical models in order to determine the material type of the article.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dynamic groove bearing (9) comprising an internal bearing part (23) and an external bearing part (17) which are rotatable relatively to each other about an axis of rotation (7), a bearing surface (31, 35) of one of the bearing parts comprising two grooves for co-operation with a bearing surface (39) of the other bearing part. The groove bearing further comprises a reservoir made from a porous material for a lubricant which is present between the bearing surfaces. According to the invention, the reservoir is mounted between the two groove patterns, viewed in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. In this manner, a uniform supply of the lubricant from the reservoir to the two groove patterns is obtained, while also the number of parts of the groove bearing is limited. In a preferred embodiment, the reservoir comprises a ring-shaped body (29) which is made from the porous material and mounted in the external bearing part. The ring-shaped body may be confined between two bearing bushes (25, 27) of the external bearing part on which the two groove patterns are present. The ring-shaped body may further comprise at least one air-vent duct (57, 59, 61, 63). The dynamic groove bearing according to the invention can be used in an electric motor (1) for driving a rotatable support (83) for an information carrier (89) in a scanning device (81), such as an optical disc player.
