Abstract: An MPEG video decoder (4) and MPEG audio decoder (5) respectively decode MPEG video data and MPEG audio data separated by a demultiplexer (2). A digital interface (11) sends and receives MPEG video data, MPEG audio data and supplementary data between the demultiplexer (2) and external devices. The digital interface (11) detects a flag indicating a discontinuity in a program from an input signal, and a microcomputer (9) performs control so as to initialize buffer memories (3,4a,5a). 
     When the microcomputer (9) detects data indicating a recording start position and recording end position in playback data sent by the demultiplexer (2), this is notified to the digital interface (11). The digital interface (11) generates a discontinuity flag identifying a program change in a header of an asynchronous packet into which video data from the demultiplexer (2) is input. 
     Thus data may be added showing a program change when a plurality of digital broadcast programs are played back on a digital VTR, input to a digital broadcast receiver/demodulator and decoded.

Abstract: A low cost solution for providing wireless multi-rate packet data
communications between a transmitting unit and a receiving unit on a single spread
spectrum channel. The transmitting unit and receiving unit are operable to change
communications modes at any given time to provide packet data communications at
any given data rate for any given duration. In general, the transmitting unit is
operable to change the coding gain of the transmitted spread spectrum to establish a
communications mode providing a given data rate for communication to the
receiving unit. In one embodiment, the transmitting unit first establishes a regular
communications mode, wherein the transmitting unit generates a spread spectrum
packet data signal having a high coding gain, thus providing low rate, highly reliable
communications over the channel. Then, at any given time, the transmitting unit
sends an escape sequence instructing the receiver to switch to a temporary
communications mode, wherein the transmitting unit generates a signal having a
lower coding gain, and thus provide a higher data rate for such user services
requiring high rate communications.

Abstract: The hybrid refrigeration unit has between the two heat exchanging surfaces (4,2) a controlled diverter (12) which, when it is open, permits a part of the water having traversed the dry heat exchange surfaces (4) to pass over the moist heat exchange surfaces (2), to cause them to function only partially. The moist heat exchange surfaces are provided by a liquid film, sprayed from above. When the diverter is opened the effect of the water spray is reduced so the spray reaches only part (between 30% and 70%) of the surface. The diverter has a motorised valve that is operated in fully-open or fully-closed mode.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, on régénère un catalyseur usé contenant un zéolite destiné au craquage des hydrocarbures afin d'en éliminer les dépôts carbonés. On extrait une partie du catalyseur régénéré du stock de catalyseur en circulation d'une unité de traitement d'hydrocarbures et on la mélange à un liquide contenant un activateur afin de solubiliser et/ou détacher les impuretés qui, en bloquant les pores du zéolite, entravent l'activité du catalyseur. On agite le mélange afin de dissoudre ou de détacher les impuretés des pores du zéolite et on transfère le mélange qui a été agité, sans lui laisser le temps de décanter, dans une zone de déshydratation à lit fluidisé où le liquide et les impuretés solubilisées et/ou détachées sont éliminés du catalyseur traité, ledit catalyseur traité présentant un niveau d'activité de craquage plus élevé que celui du stock de catalyseur en circulation. Le catalyseur traité est alors remis en circulation dans l'unité et il est mis en contact avec une charge de départ hydrocarbonée dans des conditions de craquage.

Abstract: A moving picture decoding apparatus to which this invention
is applied is a moving picture decoding apparatus adapted for
decoding coded data obtained by predictive coding to reproduce
picture data, and includes frame memory 46 having capacity
corresponding to three frames for storing picture data of I
picture, P picture and B picture reproduced at adder 45 by write
address from address generating circuit 52. Motion compensating
circuit 47 reads out picture data of I picture or P picture
stored in the frame memory 46 as picture data of predictive
picture for decoding to deliver it to adder 45, and to read out,
by raster address from frame memory display control circuit 53,
picture data from frame memory 46 in order of display to output
the picture data thus read out. Thus, capacity of frame memory
46 can be reduced and the cost can be also reduced as compared
to the conventional moving picture decoding apparatus. 
     In this moving picture decoding apparatus, write and
read-out operations of picture data of frame memory 46 are such
that picture data of current frame are read out from frame memory
46 in order of display at a timing delayed by substantially one
field from writing start time of picture data of current frame
into frame memory 46 and is outputted therefrom, that writing
start time of picture data of current frame into the memory is
caused to be time after 8 horizontal scanning periods of vertical
blanking end time between the first and second fields of the
former frame, and that writing end time of picture data of 
current frame into the memory is caused to be time before 8
horizontal scanning periods of vertical blanking start time
between the first and second field of current frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for communicating location-related information to mobile communications subscribers. At least one information centre is provided by which means the mobile communications subscriber can communicate across the mobile communications network. Said mobile communications subscriber can establish a communication connection with the information centre by dialling a predetermined call number. According to a preferred configuration, the location-related information available in the mobile communications network is coded as a several-digit number via the base station momentarily supplying the mobile station, and attached to the call number selected by the mobile communications subscriber as an extension number. This extended call number is then used to switch through the connection to the information centre. The information centre is then able to communicate the location-related information to the mobile communications subscriber.
