Patent EP-0873016-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIBI KEIICHI
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: A video-coding device and a video-decoding device,
which are capable of assuring the necessary quality of
a video sequence even if a transmission error and/or a
loss of information occurs in a transmission line and
preventing the propagation of decoding error to
subsequent images, and can effectively retransmit the
necessary coded information when a transmission error
and/or a loss of information occurs in a transmission
line. A motion-compensated interframe-predicting
portion (301) predicts an input image by using a
preceding decoded image stored in a frame memory
portion (302) and outputs motion vectors. A difference
calculating portion (303) determines a difference
between the input image signal and the predicted image
signal and outputs the difference as a prediction-error
signal to a band-dividing portion (304) which in turn
divides the prediction-error signal into n hierarchical
layers of frequency-band-components and outputs them to
respective coding portions (305a to 305n). A loop-back
control portion (307) decides whether each of the coded
frequency-band-components of the coded prediction-error
signal from respective coding portions is input to a
synthesizing portion (309) and outputs a decoded
prediction-error signal. The predicted image signal and 
the decoded prediction-error signal are combined to
generate a decoded image signal corresponding to the
input image. The decoded image signal is used for
prediction of a subsequent input image. A motion-compensated
interframe-predicting portion (901)
predicts an input image by using a preceding decoded
image stored in a frame memory portion (902) and
outputs motion vectors. A difference calculating
portion (903) determines a difference between the input
image signal and the predicted image signal and outputs
the difference as a prediction-error signal to a band-dividing
portion (904) which in turn divides the
prediction-error signal into n hierarchical layers of
frequency-band-components and outputs them to
respective coding portions (905a to 905n) for
quantizing and encoding the respective components.
Buffer portions (906a to 906n) store the coded
information and output the information to an external
circuit. The buffers output respective frequency-band-components
of the coded information according to
retransmission request signals from a retransmission
control portion (910).

Abstract: A control system of a game apparatus such as a
racing game apparatus has a CPU for controlling a signal
processor based on a program stored in a computer-readable
recording medium to process three-dimensional
image data for perspective projection and horizontal image
distortion correction for images to be projected onto
a curved projection screen. The CPU also controls an image
display processor to write the processed image data
into a RAM, from which the image data is supplied to an
image projector to project the images onto the curved
projection screen. The curved projection screen gives a
game player, e.g., a racing car driver, a horizontally
long panoramic view in front of the game player, so that
the images displayed on the curved projection screen look
wide and realistic.

Abstract: To restrain detachment of heat sinks from printed circuit boards (PCBs) or the
components mounted on such boards, a body is attached to the board and extends above
the tops of the heat sinks. Above each heat sink, three sides of a rectangle are cut from
the body, leaving one side uncut. The tongue thus formed is curved downwards to form
a spring which bears against the top of the heat sink to protect the heat sink from
disengagement. The body is formed with vertical ends or legs having outward bent feet
which are secured to the PCB by screws or other fasteners or are fit through slots in the
PCB. A slanted tongue may also be cut from the body to engage an upper corner of
a heat sink to restrain the heat sink from lateral movement relative to the PCB.

Abstract: An Open Descriptor demanding an access right is
transmitted from a personal computer to a DVD player. In
response to this demand, the DVD player transmits either
an Accept response or a Reject response. Upon receiving
the Accept response, the personal computer transmits a
Write Descriptor. The Write Descriptor indicates an
instruction that data (da) having a data length (le) is
written (AuthDe) into an address (Add) of a sender (SD).
Upon receiving this Write Descriptor, the DVD player 1
transmits the Accept Write Descriptor indicating that the
writing instruction has been accepted. Thus, in an
authentication protocol, data is transmitted in
accordance with the size of buffer for use in an
electronic machine.

Title: Communications a largeur de bande hautement efficace
Inventor: AGEE BRIAN G
IPC: H04B1/692
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de communication à étalement du spectre, porteuses superposées et tonalités multiples discrètes, sur la base de l'étalement de domaines de fréquence comprenant la multiplication d'un signal de bande de base par un ensemble d'ondes porteuses sinusoïdales complexes superposées ou multicouches. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'étalement comprend l'activation des éléments binaires d'une grande transformée de Fourier rapide (FFT). Cette opération permet d'éviter des calculs complexes pour obtenir des dimensions de FFT de sortie modérées. Il est également possible d'obtenir des topologies de réseau (sans noeud) point à multipoint et multipoint à multipoint. L'introduction d'un procédé d'antibrouillage de code permet une annulation d'interférences et une meilleure séparation de signaux par exploitation de la diversité spectrale des différentes sources. Le procédé de base peut être étendu pour inclure des procédés d'antibrouillage d'antenne multi-élément permettant une annulation d'interférences et une meilleure séparation de signaux par séparation spatiale. De tels procédés permettent d'obtenir des systèmes d'émission directifs et rétrodirectifs qui s'adaptent ou peuvent être adaptés à l'environnement radio. De tels systèmes sont compatibles avec des formats de largeur de bande sur demande et de modulation d'ordre supérieur et font appel à des algorithmes d'adaptation avancée. Dans un mode de réalisation spécifique, les composants spectraux et spatiaux des pondérations adaptatives sont calculés dans une opération unifiée sur la base de l'analogie mathématique entre les descriptions spectrale et spatiale de la liaison par air.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are presented for correcting corner images of an integrated circuit pattern, for example, in an real image produced by optical scanning and deleting defects from the corner sections. Design data describing rectangular or trapezoidal patterns are expanded in a design data expansion section in multi-level gradations to produce a reference data for each pixel having resolution capability less than the inspection resolution capability. In a reference image forming section, based on the edge position of the real image, the reference data are processed to produce a reference image by rounding off the corner section and the line width while maintaining multi-level gradations. The boundary regions are blended using optical point spread functions obtained from the real image.

Abstract: The present method for reducing latency in satellite
communication includes the steps of applying, at a first
earth terminal, a discriminator to user data. The
discriminator delineates action data and forward data,
thereby forming delineated user data. The action data
represents data to be processed on board a satellite, while
the forward data represents data to be forwarded through the
satellite without processing. At the satellite, the
delineated user data is partitioned into the action data and
the forward data. The satellite then processes the action
data to form processed action data and transmits, if
necessary, the processed action data from the satellite.
During processing of the user data, the satellite may
generate result data in response to the action data and may
transmit the result data alone or appended to the processed
action data. Furthermore, the satellite may store a world
model in a memory onboard the satellite. The satellite, in
processing the action data, may then apply the world model
to the action data.
