Abstract: To reduce aliasing during the down conversion and decoding of video
signals that have been encoded according to the moving picture experts group (MPEG)
standard, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain filter is applied to the unquantized
DCT coefficient values. Also, partly because the inverse discrete transform (IDCT)
operation of the MPEG standard may be implemented, IDCT mismatch control
processing is implemented. Concurrent implementation of the IDCT mismatch control
process and the DCT domain filter does not consistently produce the highest quality
picture. Thus, the current invention is related to a robust DCT domain filter designed to
maintain the higher quality in downconverted images. The DCT domain filter sets the
filter coefficient corresponding to the highest frequency band to unity to prevent
modification of any coefficient value that has been modified by the IDCT mismatch
operation.

Abstract: An intermittent positive pressure breathing device for neonatal
infants is disclosed. The device is adapted to be connected to a
supply of pressurised substantially pure Oxygen which is supplied
through a first conduit of the device. Said first conduit terminates
inside the device in a venturi nozzle by virtue of which ambient air
is entrained so that a mixture of Oxygen and ambient air at a
desired concentration is delivered along a second conduit of the
device towards the mouth of the neonate. The second conduit
terminates in a mask having a first aperture which is adapted to be
disposed adjacent the mouth of the neonate in sealing relationship
therewith, and a second aperture approximately the size of a thumb
which can be repeatedly and rhythmically covered by the operator of
the device to initiate a conventional breathing pattern for the
neonate. Upstream of the venturi nozzle of the first conduit is a one
way valve which opens when the venturi nozzle induces a lower than
atmospheric pressure in this portion of the device, that is when the
second aperture of the mask is uncovered, and automatically closes
when the pressure in the device is increased in a stepwise manner by
reason of the operator closing off the second aperture of said mask.
In this manner, the volume of Oxygen/Air mixture, extant in the
second conduit is pressuredly delivered to the neonate against the
resistance if its lungs. A pressure release valve is additionally
provided in the second conduit to allow the release of any pressure
build up within this conduit when the lungs of the neonate are
filled.

Abstract: Air is separated in a double rectification column 40. An oxygen product and a
nitrogen product are obtained from its lower pressure column 46. None or
less than 5% of the air to be separated is liquefied upstream of the
rectification. The higher pressure column 44 is operated at a pressure at its
bottom in the range of 8 to 15 bar. A stream of vaporous oxygen product is
passed through a main heat exchanger 36 at a pressure not greater than the
pressure at the bottom of the lower pressure column 46. A stream of liquid
product is passed through the main heat exchanger 36 at a pressure between
15 and 80 bar so as to counteract the tendency for Joule-Thomson expansion
of fluid separated in the higher pressure column 44 to cause relatively
inefficient heat exchange in the main heat exchanger 36 at temperatures less
than 160K without creating any severe pinch point in the main heat exchanger
36.

Title: Magnetoresistive film
Inventor: SHIMIZU YUTAKA
IPC: H01L43/12
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A first pinned ferromagnetic layer (46a), an
antiferromagnetic bonding layer (46b) and a second pinned
ferromagnetic layer (46c) are sequentially formed over an
antiferromagnetic layer (45). A layered ferrimagnetic
structure is established. A compound or oxide layer (51)
is interposed between the antiferromagnetic bonding layer
(46b) and the second pinned ferromagnetic layer (46c). The
compound layer (51) serves to efficiently prevent
transmission of an undulation or interfacial roughness.
Undulation or interfacial roughness can be suppressed at
the interface or boundary of a non-magnetic spacer layer
formed on the second pinned ferromagnetic layer (46c). The
magnetic interaction can thus be suppressed between the
second pinned ferromagnetic layer (46c) and a free
ferromagnetic layer on the non-magnetic spacer layer,
irrespective of a smaller thickness of the non-magnetic
spacer layer. The magnetization of the free ferromagnetic
layer can thus easily rotate in response to the polarity of
an applied magnetic field, irrespective of a smaller
thickness of the non-magnetic spacer layer. The
magnetoresistive ratio can be improved.

Title: Rotary coupling
Inventor: MONTANANA RAUL
IPC: F16D41/07
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: A rotary coupling comprises a driving part 10 and a driven part 12, for
transmission of driving torque between them; a fixed part 14 in which the driving and
driven parts 10,12 are each rotatable coaxially; and a set of coupling members 52. The
coupling members 52 are carried by the driving part 10 and are seated in recesses 50
in the driven part 12 so as to be in torque-transmitting engagement therewith. The
coupling members 52 are juxtaposed to an annular braking surface 14a of the fixed part
14, and can independently move into and out of engagement with the braking surface
14a. A driving torque, applied by the driving part 10 to the coupling members 52, is
transmitted by the latter to the driven part 12 without the coupling members 52
engaging the braking surface 14a. A reverse torque, applied by the driven part 12 to
the coupling members 52, moves the latter into wedging engagement with the braking
surface 14a, locking up the coupling.

Abstract: With an intention to improve picture quality without increasing the overall
number of times of data collection and to restrain artifacts resulting from
differences in noise structure between parts differing in the number of times of
addition, the total number V of views is equally divided into eight, and the
areas of the two ends of each V/8, where the absolute value of the quantity of
phase encoding is the greatest, are reduced in the number of times of
addition by 1/2 of the reference number of times N, because their
contributions to picture quality is small. The remaining middle 6V/8 areas are
increased in the number of times of addition by 1/2 of the reference number of
times N, because their contributions to picture quality are great, and further to
alleviate the non-continuity of the variations of the number of times of
addition, the number of times of addition in the middle 6V/8 areas is varied so
as to follow either a Hamming function or a Hanning function.

Abstract: A method of measuring a gauge of used rubber portion of a buffed
tire with an enhanced efficiency and high accuracy is disclosed,
and in this method, workability of a buffing process can be improved.
A buffing method is also disclosed which enhances a production
efficiency of recaps, maintaining high levels of workability of the
buffing process and quality of the recaps. An eddy-current sensor
is used to measure a gauge g of used rubber portion or a thickness
from an outer circumferential surface to a belt layer in a buffed
tire to recap the tire, and voltages detected by the eddy-current
sensor is converted in accordance with a conversion method designated
to each of types of belt configuration to compute a real distance
of the gauge of the used rubber portion. Also, after a buffed tire
is rebuffed along its preliminarily buffed outer circumferential
extension, the eddy-current sensor is used to measure a gauge g of
used rubber portion or a thickness from an outer circumferential
surface to a belt layer of preliminarily buffed tire T2, and then,
an outer circumferential belt length Lb is computed from an outer
circumferential length Lo of the preliminarily buffed tire and the
gauge g previously measured. The outer circumferential belt length
Lb is classified depending upon a tolerance for acceptable
performance, a single outer circumferential length Lc of the buffed
tire is specified to each of classified types of the outer
circumferential belt length Lb, and the buffed tire is shaved along
its outer circumference to have the outer circumferential length
Lc as previously determined, so as to finish and shape the used tire
into a base tire T3.
