Abstract: In an image encoding apparatus, image information is quantized and variable-length encoding is performed thereon so that the data are stored in a buffer. Thereafter, the data in the buffer are transmitted to the outside at a fixed data rate. At this time, a controller monitors a number of occupied bits in the buffer, and when the number of occupied bits is not more than thresholds, the controller switches the output of the apparatus to a dummy data generator. At this time, a parameter which is used for rate control is initialized, and dummy data which can be eliminated on a decoding circuit are outputted from the dummy data generator. Furthermore, bit allocation is changed so that a sum of the number of occupied bits and the bit allocation to a frame which is determined before encoding does not exceed a fixed amount. Moreover, when the number of occupied bits exceeds the fixed value, a quantization step size is changed to a greater value.

Abstract: A container (10) for holding liquid in its interior comprises an aperture (24) which provides access to the interior of the container (10). A valve (20) has an open position and a closed position, is mounted in the aperture (24) and mates with an actuator (40) when the container (10) is inserted into a print mechanism. The actuator (40) causes the valve (20) to transition from the closed position to an open position and vice-versa. A seal member (30) is rotatably mounted in the aperture (24) and includes a pathway (52) for receiving the actuator (40). The pathway (52) is normally positioned non-aligned with the aperture (24) so as to render the valve (20) non-accessable from outside the container (10). A control mechanism (32) is coupled to the seal member (30) and rotatably moves the seal member (30) to reposition the pathway (52) into a alignment with the aperture (24) so as to be in position to receive the actuating means. The control mechanism (32) is actuated when the container (10) is inserted into the print mechanism.

The measurement cycle comprises: (a) electrolytically producing a first cycle portion in which a substance, which reacts specifically with the component (A), by current pulses of constant height (Ig) and constant duration ( DELTA t) supplied by two generator electrodes (7,11) and in which the substance concn. increase is registered by an indicator system from a lower limit signal (Ctl) up to an upper limit signal (Cth); and (b) registering a second cycle portion in which the generator current is switched off and the substance concn. decrease, resulting from reaction with the component (A), until the lower limit signal (Ctl) is reached. The gas component (A) concn. in the gas mixt. is determined from the ratio of the charge quantity, applied in the first cycle portion to increase the substance concn. by ct (= cth-ctl), and the gradient of the indicator signal. Also claimed is a measuring device for continuous electrochemical determn. of the concn. of reactive gases (e.g. SO2, NH3, H2S, NOx and CO2) by the above process.

A video signals outputted from a first A/D converter included in the time-division multiplex circuit is applied to a memory included in the time-division multiplex circuit and a further memory included in the multi-display circuit. A video signal outputted from a second A/D converter included in the multi-display circuit is also written into the further memory. Then, video signals read-out from the further memory are outputted from a plurality of monitor screens. Since the video signal outputted from the first A/D converter is applied to the further memory, it is possible to increase a renewal speed of the monitor screens with no additional A/D converters in the multi-display circuit.

Mechanisms (137,138,139) are included in the printer for adjusting an imaging parameter of an imaging assembly responsively to the determined condition of actual misregistration so as to correct for the determined actual misregistration.

Abstract: A cardiac assist device which provides an improved method of conditioning a skeletal muscle graft 3. In particular the present invention features a memory 526. The memory contains a regime to transform the muscle. Typically the regime has a schedule of various muscle stimulation parameters which may be varied during the muscle training period. When the memory is activated the muscle conditioning regime is automatically altered during the desired time period. In the preferred embodiment the memory features several training schedules, any one of which may be selected. The present invention further features an interrupt to temporarily disable the muscle training regime in the event the onset of a cardiac arrythmia is detected. Once the arrythmia is confirmed, then the cardiac assist device delivers therapeutic stimulation to the heart 2. After the termination of the arrythmia is confirmed the muscle training regime is re-initiated at the point in the therapy it would have been if it had not been inhibited.

Abstract: A low noise amplifier (LNA)/mixer/frequency synthesizer circuit for the front end of a RF system is fabricated as an integrated circuit utilizing 0.6 µM CMOS technologies. The LNA (12) within the circuit is provided with a bias current from a power supply (23). Due to the CMOS construction of the LNA (12), a significant amount of unused power is available within the LNA. The frequency synthesizer (20) requires the same bias current as does the LNA and is directly coupled to the LNA, wherein the unused bias current of the LNA is used to supply the required bias current to the oscillators within the frequency synthesizer. Since the bias current used by the frequency synthesizer is drawn from the surplus of the LNA, a RF system front end is provided that has greatly reduced power requirements. The LNA is coupled to the frequency synthesizer, via an inductor. The inductor provides resonance to a node between the LNA and the frequency syunthesizer that joins to the mixer (16). The inductor suppresses band harmonics while preserving the unused bias current.

Abstract: The method comprises the steps of: error-correction decoding (310) reproduced sync block data; determining whether there is any remaining error in the error-corrected sync block data, to select the error-corrected sync block data in the previous frame if an error remains, and select the error-corrected sync block data in the current frame if no error remains (320); saving the selected sync block data in a frame buffer (330); forming a segment (340) with selected sync blocks; determining whether the data is reproduced in variable-speed to process continuous data bits only between DCT blocks within a sync block when the data is reproduced in variable-speed, and process continuous data bits between DCT blocks within a sync block and between sync blocks within a video segment if not; variable-length decoding (350) the processed data; and performing an inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) operation for the variable-length decoded data. A decision regarding the continuity of data and the corresponding data processing are not needed, and thus the DVCR can minimize the refresh time of the data frame to be displayed.
