Abstract: The control mechanism for the hours and minutes display on a wrist watch includes a balance wheel (15) acting under the effect of a spring, via an ratchet wheel (18) on a cam (12) situated at the centre of the movement. This in turn is linked to the hour hand. The balance wheel (15) is lifted up progressively under the effect of the cam (12), to fall back suddenly once per hour. When the wheel makes these sudden drops, a toothed sector (23) engages a central pinion via a drive chain (24,25,26), the central pinion carrying the minute hand. Thus once per hour the minute hand is returned to its original position. The balance wheel is also linked to a pawl (30) co-operating with a star wheel with twelve branches carrying a disc indicating the hours.

Abstract: The cable laying apparatus, which solves many of the problems heretofore associated with existing cable laying mechanisms for underwater burial machines, uses a pivotally liftable depressor wheel, located within a feed shoe which tracks the groove cut by the plow. There are a pair of arcuate cable guides, one on each side of the depressor wheel, which assist in the guidance of both cables and bodies, without permitting either to bind. When the assembly to which the depressor wheel is attached is raised upward and rearward the guides prevent the cable from escaping while allowing a body to pass through the opening which is formed.

Abstract: An image processing system and method for laser-printing a composite image containing a monotone image and a multi gradation-level image in a superposed fashion such that the contours of characters in the monotone image are well smoothed without degrading the multi gradation-level image. The multi gradation-level image remains a faithful reproduction of the original and the resultant composite image is improved. 
     When receiving a composite image 2, an image processing system binarize the pixel values of the composite image 2, to reproduce a mono-tone image 8. At the same time, the system generates a multi gradation-level, N-fold density image 10 from the composite image 2. The mono-tone image 8 is subjected to a smoothing process to smooth the contours of characters. The pixels corresponding to a corrected pixel area 17 in the mono-tone image 8 of the N-fold density image 10 are converted into white pixels by masking the corrected pixel area. Thereafter, the smoothed monotone image 16 and the N-fold density image 18 are superposed one on the other, to thereby form a final image 22.

Abstract: Single-strand DNA binding proteins have been found to increase the efficiency of
strand-displacement replication of long targets, and when added to amplification reactions such
as SDA, they significantly improve the amplification efficiency of targets which are otherwise
too long to be efficiently amplified. The gp32 protein of T4 has been shown in SDA to
produce about 10 6  to 10 8 -fold amplification in 15-20 min. for targets about 800-1,000 bp in
length. In the absence of gp32 there is essentially no detectable amplification for targets of this
length. Targets about 400-500 bp in length are amplifiable about a billion-fold in the presence
of gp32, representing an amplification factor approximately equivalent to that observed for
targets less than 100 bp in length in conventional SDA reactions in the absence of SSBs. Other
single-strand DNA binding proteins have also been shown to improve replication and
amplification efficiency for long targets.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the domain of digital signal
processing and, more precisely, the methods and apparatus employed in the
reduction of visibility of blockiness in images or video sequences encoded
using block-based coding techniques such as MPEG. 
     The present invention detects a level of blockiness between blocks in an
image and applies a variable filter across the block boundaries. The filter
parameters are chosen depending on the level of blockiness detected. If no
blockiness is detected then no filtering is performed on the image. 
     An important aspect of the present invention reduces the false detection of
naturally occurring blockiness in images by analysing the image both spatially
and temporally.

Abstract: A preceding vehicle, an inter-vehicle distance (L) between
a self vehicle and the preceding vehicle, vehicle speeds of the
self vehicle and the preceding vehicle, an operation of a cruise
control, a braking operation, a brake pressure and the like are
detected and inputted to a cruise control unit (40). Based on these
input signals, the cruise control system selects a constant
speed running mode when the inter-vehicle distance (L) is larger than
a specified value (L s ) and selects a following-behind running mode
when the inter-vehicle distance (L) is smaller than the specified
value (L s ). When the constant speed mode is selected, the vehicle
travels at a constant preset vehicle speed by operating a throttle
actuator (25) and a brake actuator (26). Further, when the following-behind
running mode is selected, the vehicle travels keeping the
inter-vehicle distance (L) at a specified distance (L s ) by the operation
of the throttle actuator and the brake actuator. If the
following-behind running mode lasts longer than a specified time,
the preset vehicle speed is updated into a vehicle speed higher
than an average vehicle speed within the specified time. Further,
when a braking operation is detected during the following-behind
running mode, if the brake pressure is lower than a specified
value and the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined lower
limit vehicle speed, the cruise control is restored when the
braking operation finishes.
