Patent EP-0638609-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RAPTHEL INNO DR
IPC: C08L3/06
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: The relatively brittle starch esters are to be modified in such a way that they can be moulded at acceptable cost using known thermoplastic processing methods without adversely affecting the properties of the end products and the biodegradability. In addition, the products are to have good water resistance and should not decompose during thermoplastic processing. This is achieved by modifications comprising blends of starch esters with degrees of substitution of < 3 and polyalkylene glycols having molecular weights of from 200 to 2000, optionally with addition of aliphatic saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and/or oxydicarboxylic acids and/or oxytricarboxylic acids and/or by replacement of from 20 to 80% of the polyalkylene glycol by polyhydroxybutyric acid having a molecular weight of from 1000 to 10,000 g/mol. Both amylose-rich speciality starches and conventional natural starches can be employed in the thermoplastically processible blends. The products allow a large variation latitude of processing properties and exhibit no significant drop in quality even after extended storage times.

Abstract: A scrambling system has a scrambling apparatus and a descrambling apparatus for scrambling and descrambling a digital audio signal having a plurality of 16-bit long sample data units. The scrambling apparatus (12) has a detector (221) for detecting, in each sample data unit, a meaningless portion which is a portion including the MSB and a meaningful portion which is a portion including the LSB, and applying scrambling only to the meaningful portion. Since the meaningless portion is not scrambled, no error data will appear in the meaningless portion. Thus, an unexpected abrupt change in sound caused by a bit error in the meaningless portion which has bits with greater weighted value can be avoided.

Abstract: A broadband cholesteric polarizer is described, as well as a method of manufacturing such a polarizer. Said polarizer comprises an optically active layer of a polymer material having a cholesteric order, said material being oriented so that the axis of the molecular helix extends transversely to the layer. In accordance with the invention, the polarizer is characterized in that the pitch of the molecular helix in the layer is varied in such a manner that the difference between the maximum pitch and the minimum pitch is at least 100 nm. The optically active layers are preferably provided on substrates which bring about a conversion of circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light. Three different methods of manufacturing such broadband polarizers are described.

Abstract: A digital television system receives transmitted television information in the form of a stream digital packets representing video and audio information in compressed form. A packet transport unit (1507) routes the digital packets to respective digital video and audio signal processing sections according to header information contained in the packets. The digital processing sections (1511,1513) decode and decompress the respective packets to form sequences of digital words (Y,U,V,L,R) which are subsequently converted to analog form. Apparatus for providing audible messages, such as operating instructions and status information, in tone or voice form includes a memory (1529) for storing digital representations of the audible messages in the same compressed form which the transmitted audio packets have, and a controller (1527) for selectively directing the digital representations to the packet transport unit (1507) when it is desired to provide the audible messages. The digital representations of the audible messages are automatically routed by the transport unit (1507) to the digital audio signal processing section (1513) which will decode and decompress the digital representation of the audible messages in the same manner as it does the transmitted audio packets. As a result, analog versions of the audible messages will be produced.

Abstract: A diverter (12) interfaces first and second telecommunication lines (16, 18) from first and second telecommunication sources, respectively, with a third line (24) coupled to a station set. The diverter includes separate line (32, 34) and set (36) monitors and a control unit (30, 38). The line and set monitors monitor and detect predetermined selective signals such as (a) ringing signals propagating on the first and second lines, and (b) line access codes, flash hook, and line change requests signals generated by the station set. In response to the detected predetermined selective signals, the line and set monitors generate first, second, and third output control signals representative of the predetermined selective signals on the first, second, and third lines, respectively, to the control unit. The control unit, which is responsive to output signals from the line and set monitors, selectively couples a predetermined one of the first and second lines directly to the third line without interfering with the predetermined selective signals and states present on the first, second, and third lines. The control unit also generates predetermined output control signals to the line and set monitors for generating output signals such as call waiting signals for transmission to the station set on the third line. The diverter is powered from the first and second lines, and its actions remain invisible to and do not affect the first and second telecommunication sources and the station set.

Abstract: When a macro block (MB) synchronizing signal (MBSYNC) indicating starting of processing is asserted in processing of one processing section which is formed by a macro block header and a macro block, block data of the macro block (MB) are decoded in synchronization with the assertion of MBSYNC, and next macro block header information is analyzed in continuation in the processing section. The assertion of the next MB synchronizing signal is stopped until prescribed conditions are established. Processing of the block data of the macro blocks is regularly executed from starting of one processing section, whereby utilization efficiency of operational processors is improved.
