Title: Graphics decoder
Inventor: KURIKI SHINJI
IPC: G09G5/06
Filed: 1992-07-20
Abstract: A graphics decoder which stores color number data of each pixel of the display screen (33), which is acquired from a subcode signal, sequentially reads out the color number data to produce a graphics RGB signal referring to a color look-up table, and supplies the graphics RGB signal to a CRT display (33). When a graphics command acquired from the subcode signal is a screen-scroll command, scroll data is obtained from pointer data included in that scroll command, and that scroll data is output at a timing synchronous with a horizontal sync signal or vertical sync signal to set the read address of the display memory. When the graphics command is a color look-up table write command, the color look-up table is updated at a timing synchronous with the first horizontal sync signal or vertical sync signal after the generation of that write command.

Abstract: In a method for compressing a digital audio input signal to provide a recording signal, the input signal is divided (11) into frames comprising plural samples. Each frame of plural samples is transformed (11) into a block of spectral coefficients. The block of spectral coefficients is divided into plural bands that include lower frequency bands, and a lowest frequency band. Block floating is applied to the spectral coefficients in each band with a block floating coefficient being generated (13) for each band. The spectral coefficients in each band are quantized (15) with an adaptive number of bits to provide quantized spectral coefficients in each band, and a word length is generated for each band. Finally, a block of data derived from the block of spectral coefficients is added (81) to the recording signal. The block of data derived from the block of spectral coefficients consists of the quantized spectral coefficients, a main word length for each band, a main block floating coefficient for each band, and a reserve word length at least for each of the lower frequency bands.

Abstract: The allocation of user data channels in a digital telecommunication system is intended to be controlled in such a way that, during the transition to emergency operation, it is highly probable that an existing connection between the connection line and a terminal with emergency power authorisation can be maintained when a direct connection is set up. When user data channels are allocated at an interface to which a terminal with emergency power authorisation is connected and at an interface to which the connection line is connected, an alternate check is carried out to ascertain which seizure condition prevails at the respective other interface. The user data channels are then allocated in such a way that a connection can be set up between the connection line and the interface of the terminal with emergency power authorisation via channels of the same type which can then be maintained in emergency operation. The probability that an existing external connection between a terminal with emergency power authorisation and a connection line can be maintained during the transition to emergency operation is substantially increased due to the channel allocation method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved internal line up clamp (10) is disclosed which has an integral back up ring (12). A first set of pipe clamps (22) move radially outward to engage the inner surface of a first pipe (14). A second set of pipe clamps (62) and a set of back up ring segments (202) are simultaneously moved radially outward into engagement with the inner surface of the pipes. The back up ring segments (202) are spring loaded to exert a relatively constant back up force against the inner surface of the pipes at the weld. In a modification, a fill block (118) can be used to fill the gap between adjacent back up ring segments when engaging the inner surface of the pipe. The back up ring segments support the shoe elements (220). The shoe elements are spring loaded to accommodate diameter mismatch and non-circularity of the pipe ends. The back up ring segments rotate about a radial axis from the pipe centerline. Tapered ends on the back up ring segments provide for the decrease in ring circumference necessary to lower the ring segments.

Abstract: On reception, a filtered and amplified reception signal (X) coupled from the current network, reaches a digital multiplier (5) after digital to analog conversion. The second input of the multiplier has a reference signal (Y) from a sample value memory (24) addressed by a cyclic address counter to fixed base length (20). Exactly four reference values (Y), corresponding to the in-phase and quadrature sample values of each L and H signal form, are allocated to each X value. The resulting products are accumulated in a ring structure of a summer (6), four registers (7,8,9,10) and a switch (11). After one signal form cycle, the in-phase components of the H and L bit are accumulated in two registers (9,10) and the quadrature components are accumulated in the other registers (7,8). By undoing the ring structure, the switch (11) feeds the four results from the registers (7-10) to a decision unit including a switch (13), a summer (14) and two registers (15,16).
