Inventor: VOGELEY JAMES H
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 1992-01-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for supplying a video input to a liquid crystal display device (10). The input video is sampled and analyzed to determine the existing video format. The video is then conditioned to be compatible with the LCD display device (10). If the number of lines in the input video are substantially less than the number of display lines available in the LCD (10), an alternate frame display mode is enabled in which every other video frame is displayed such that the display frame rate is one half of the input video frame rate. The "latency" of the LCD display device (10) aids in avoiding any apparent flicker in the displayed video. If the number of lines in the input video is one half or less than the number of display lines available, the input video is supplied to a line buffer memory (38) which is read out to the LCD (10) at twice the video input line rate with the result that each line of the displayed video is a double scan of the input video to provide a more pleasing video image covering a greater portion of the LCD display panel.

Abstract: There is disclosed a cassette loading device of a compact, lightweight, thin type for use in a video movie or the like. An opening lever is pivotally mounted on a stand, and is engaged in a cam groove with a top plate. With this arrangement, the opening lever is accommodated within a longitudinal dimension of a cassette, and therefore the loading device in the direction of the longitudinal dimension of the cassette can be greatly reduced. The cassette is moved through the pivotal movement of the top plate and arms, and with this arrangement operating switches and so on can be easily mounted on a plane of projection of the top plate. Therefore, the positional stability of the cassette loading device can be achieved, and the number of component parts can be reduced, thereby achieving a compact, lightweight construction of the cassette loading device.

Abstract: The invention provides for optical scanner weigh plate (24) mounting apparatus which does not include fasteners requiring removal in order to gain access to the underside of the weigh plate (24) and to a scan module (28) within the scanner. The weigh plate mounting apparatus includes a pair of pivot arms, a load distributing member (46), pivot flanges for pivotally coupling the pivot arms (48, 50) at their first ends to the load distributing member (46), pivot pins (56, 58) for pivotally coupling the pivot arms (48, 50) at their second ends to the weigh plate (24), and a spacer (44) between the load distributing member (46) and a weight measuring device (26) within the scanner for raising the weigh plate to a position flush with a checkout counter (16) in which the scanner is installed. The mounting apparatus provides hands-free operating positions. In a closed position, the weigh plate (24) sits substantially parallel to and above the pivot arms (48, 50). In a first opened hands-free position, the weigh plate sits against a first side (86) of the counter (16) to expose the underside of the weigh plate (24). In a second opened hands-free position, the weigh plate sits against a second side of the counter (16) to expose the scan module (28).

Abstract: To reduce the volume of empty metal containers, the compression takes place in two stages. First the body of the container is pressed flat by a stamp (6) in a first stage. In this process, the floor of the container (10) becomes inclined. After this, in a second stage, the predeformed container is pushed completely under the stamp (6) and the floor is pressed against the flattened body. This only requires exertion of a comparatively small amount of force, making manual operation possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A diffraction limited working beam (14) at a given frequency is amplified without degrading its diffraction limited quality by diverting a minor portion of the beam as a probe beam, and amplifying the remaining portion of the working beam (14) with a high power pump beam (12) at a different wavelength. The amplification takes place in a host medium (10, 28) that has a rare earth dopant with an energy transition from the pump beam's wavelength to the wavelength of the working beam. The resulting amplified working beam is non-diffraction limited. The probe beam is frequency modulated and coupled with the amplified working beam in a second host medium (22) that also has a rare earth dopant. Energy is transferred from the amplified working beam to the modulated probe beam through a resonant energy transfer in the second host medium (22), producing an amplified output beam at the working beam frequency that retains the diffraction limited quality of the probe beam.

Abstract: A surface inspecting apparatus has a laser oscillator. A laser beam is emitted to have a width L1. A rotary polygon mirror scans the surface of the film web by use of the beam in a width direction of the web, while the web is transported continuously. Two blocking plates are disposed in a path of the beam from the web and are impenetrable to the beam. A slot is formed between the blocking plates and has a width L2 where L2 L1. The beam is passed through the slot after scanning the web. A laser receiver receives the beam from the slot so as to detect the beam, and converts the beam into a photoelectric signal. The photoelectric signal is evaluated. Existence of a surface defect on the web is detected, if the photoelectric signal is in a predetermined range.

Abstract: A program interpreter for computer programs written in a bytecode language, which uses a restricted set of data type specific bytecodes. The interpreter, prior to executing any bytecode program, executes a bytecode program verifier procedure that verifies the integrity of a specified program by identifying any bytecode instruction that would process data of the wrong type for such a bytecode and any bytecode instruction sequences in the specified program that would cause underflow or overflow of the operand stack. If the program verifier finds any instructions that violate predefined stack usage and data type usage restrictions, execution of the program by the interpreter is prevented. After pre-processing of the program by the verifier, if no program faults were found, the interpreter executes the program without performing operand stack overflow and underflow checks and without performing data type checks on operands stored in operand stack. As a result, program execution speed is greatly improved.
