substrate, and a diamond protrusion grown on a surface of
the diamond substrate so as to have a pointed portion in
a form capable of emitting an electron. Since the diamond
protrusion formed by growth has a sharply pointed tip portion,

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting multiple bit
allocations in a multicarrier modulation system are disclosed.
Hence, symbols being transmitted or received can make use of
different bit allocations. By supporting the multiple bit
allocations, the multicarrier modulation system is able to
support bit allocation on a superframe basis. In one aspect of
the invention a transmitter (500) for a multicarrier modulation
system in accordance with the present invention receives at
buffer (102) data signals to be transmitted. The data signals
are then supplied to FEC unit (104). The FEC unit (104)
performs error correction on the signals and then supplies the
data signals to a data symbol encoder (502). The data symbol
encoder (502) encodes the data signals onto a plurality of
frequency tones associated with a symbol (frame). In allocating
the bits to the particular frequency tones of the symbol, the
data symbol encoder (502) obtains bit and energy allocation
information from a superframe bit allocation table (504) and a
superframe energy allocation table (506), respectively. After
the symbols have been created, they are supplied to IFFT unit
(112) for modulation and conversion to time domain signals. The
resulting time domain signals are converted to analog signals by
DAC unit (114). The transmitter (500) also includes a
controller (508) that operates to control, among other things,
the proper selection of the effectively individualized
allocation table (506). Also disclosed are techniques for
selection and alignment of superframe formats to improve system
performance. In the case of data transmission systems involving
different transmission schemes, different bit allocations can be
used to reduce undesired crosstalk interference.

Abstract: A first set of digital data (4) which are obtained by encoding low resolution digital video signals by a low resolution compression
encoder (13) and a second set of digital data (5) which are obtained by encoding high resolution digital video signals by a high resolution
compression encoder (16) are multiplexed with a packet including information on a program in which identification information for
identifying both sets of digital data (4, 5) is described and transmitted. On the receiving (22) side, the first and second sets (4, 5) are

Abstract: A filter comprising a fuel pump for feeding fuel from a
tank and a fuel filter unit for removing foreign matters from
the fuel fed from the tank by the fuel pump, the pump and the
filter unit being integrated. Particularly a filter to be installed
within a tank, the filter being improved not to allow the
electric charge accumulated in it to become great enough to
accelerate the deterioration of the resin constituting the
surface of the filter. In one mode, the filter includes a
generally cylindrical filter member fitted around the
circumference of a generally columnar pump, and a cover
covering the filter member and comprising an electrically
nonconductive member. Fuel is made to flow through the
filter in the radial direction to remove foreign matters. A filter
member of this type can keep the level of electrification low.
The filter member covered with an electrically nonconductive
cover is disposed in the tank. Corona discharge may take
place from the surface of the cover when the cover becomes
exposed out of the remaining fuel in the tank and the charge
increases to a problematic extent. For this reason, the electric
charge of the cover surface can be prevented from increasing
great enough to accelerate deterioration of the resin.
