Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting a video image on the basis of a preceding video image in the processing order for use in compressed transmission or storing of video images, wherein a prediction is generated for a video image to be encoded in an encoder encoding the video image on the basis of the preceding image in the processing order. The invention comprises dividing the preceding image in the processing order into blocks; selecting a point from each block of the preceding image in the processing order as the basic point (A, B, C, D) of the concerned block, the basic points of the different blocks dividing the preceding image in the processing order into quadrangle-shaped basic areas; searching the image to be encoded to find points (A', B', C', D') corresponding to the basic points (A, B, C, D) of the blocks of said preceding block in the processing order, the corresponding points dividing the image to be encoded into corresponding quadrangle-shaped areas; defining a motion vector for each pair of a basic point and a corresponding point, the motion vector indicating a displacement between the points; and performing a geometric transformation on the quadrangle-shaped basic areas so as to transform them into the size and shape of their corresponding areas for generating predictions for the corresponding areas of the image to be encoded.

Abstract: The method of chromatographic separation comprises: a feed-withdrawal step in which, with liquid flow being permitted from the first to the third unit beds in the simulated moving bed, an eluant is fed into the first unit bed and the feed stock is fed into the third unit bed while, at the same time, part of the effluent from the first unit bed is withdrawn from the system as a fraction rich in component B and the effluent from the third unit bed is withdrawn from the system as a fraction rich in component C; a circulation stage in which, with liquid circulation being permitted through the simulated moving bed, the liquid in the simulated moving bed is moved downstream without liquid feed to or withdrawal from the simulated moving bed; and a withdrawal stage in which, with liquid flow being permitted from the second to the first unit beds, the eluant is fed to the second unit bed and the effluent from the first unit bed is withdrawn from the system as a fraction rich in component A; wherein, after the above three stages are performed, the same stages are repeated except that feed stock and eluant are fed to, and effluents are withdrawn from unit beds which exist immediately downstream of the respective corresponding unit beds.

Abstract: A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) dedicated processor includes a scrambler SM scrambling a real input data sequence x(i) and thereby providing two scrambled data subsequences a(i) and b(i). A data generation circuit GC coupled to SM provides a complex data sequence y(i) whose real and imaginary parts equal the scrambled data subsequences a(i) and b(i) respectively. y(i) is applied to an arithmetic unit AU which under the control of a control unit CoM, is successively converted to an arithmetic means AM, a data regeneration circuit RC and a combinatorial means CM. AM generates an intermediate Fast Fourier Transform series Y(i) of y(i). RC splits up Y(i) into Fast Fourier Transform series A(i) and B(i) of a(i) and b(i) respectively and CM executes a final traditional Fast Fourier Transform combinatorial step and produces the Fast Fourier Transform sequence X(i) of the real input data sequence x(i).

Abstract: Significantly improving in the contrast ratio of a visual image display (100) using a liquid crystal layer (128) and a fiber optic faceplate (102) with tilted fibers (114). One preferred embodiment of the visual image display (100) includes a liquid crystal layer (128), a first polarizer (122) and an optical fiber faceplate (102) with many substantially parallel fibers (114). Each fiber (114) has an axis (116) which forms an oblique angle with the normal to the front surface (133) of the liquid crystal layer (128). All the oblique angles are substantially equal to a typical oblique angle (118). The typical oblique angle (118) is selected along the direction that substantially maximizes the contrast ratio of the display (100).

Abstract: A sensor assembly (1) comprises an optical fibre (4) and a transducer (23) arranged to apply transverse strain to a localised portion (24) of the fibre. Birefringence effects induced by the fibre strain are remotely sensed to obtain a signal representative of the transducer input which in turn is connected to a current sensing coil (34) thereby enabling electric current in a conductor (32) to be remotely sensed. The localised portion (24) of the fibre (4) is stripped to remove an outer jacket and is embedded in a relatively rigid matrix material. Damage to the fibre and the effects of creep are thereby avoided. The resulting sensor (36) is particularly suited to the measurement of high currents in power distribution systems.

Abstract: An information recording method in which a recording start position of a data section in which file data of a recording medium such as an optical card has been recorded is calculated on the basis of a directory for managing a file of the information recording medium recorded in a directory section and, when the data has been recorded at the calculated recording start position, a retry operation to judge whether the data has been recorded at the next recording position or not is repeated a predetermined number of times, thereby retrieving the final recording position of the data section. When the final recording position of the data section cannot be detected even if the retry operation was repeated the predetermined number of times, the information indicative of the recording position at which the retry operation was finally executed is recorded to the directory section. When performing the retry operation again, the retry operation is executed from the recording position at which the retry operation was finally performed on the basis of the information indicative of the recording position at which the retry operation was finally executed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the separation of oxygenated compounds, comprising, mostly, methanol and optionally a minor part of water and/or of dimethyl ether, from a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can have 3 to 8 carbon atoms, containing the oxygenated compounds. A distillation stage of the mixture is carried out in a distillation region (D). A gaseous distillate (line 2) comprising methanol, optionally water, optionally dimethyl ether and hydrocarbons, is collected at the head of the distillation region. This gaseous distillate is separated by settling in a knockout vessel (B) and the collection is carried out (line 6) of at least one liquid organic phase, conveyed as reflux into the head of the distillation region D, and optionally of a liquid aqueous phase (line 5), as well as optionally of a gaseous phase (line 4). A phase is withdrawn laterally from the distillation region (line 8) and is conveyed into a permeation region (PV) comprising at least one membrane which is selectively permeable to methanol; a permeation stage of the said phase is carried out. The collection is carried out, downstream of the permeation region, of at least one permeate (line 14), preferably in the vapour phase, which is enriched in methanol and, upstream of the permeation region, of at least one retentate (line 11), which is optionally recycled in the distillation region, and the mixture of purified hydrocarbons (line 16) is withdrawn at the bottom of the distillation column. <IMAGE>
