Abstract: A device for compressing still image data has a discrete cosine transformer (20) for discrete-cosine-transforming video data output in block units from a frame buffer in a digital camcorder, a quantizer (22) for quantizing the video data transformed in the discrete cosine transformer (20), a variable-length coder (24) for variable-length-coding the video data quantized in the quantizer (22), and a quantization interval determiner (26) for producing a quantizer number for controlling a quantization interval, and outputting the quantizer number to the quantizer. The device further has a comparator (28) for comparing the bit number of video data variable-length-coded at quantization intervals for the first frame with a reference bit number for the best image quality, and outputting a flag signal on the basis of the comparison, and a flag buffer (30) for temporally storing the flag signal output from the comparator (28), so that a quantization interval is determined according to the result of the comparison output from the flag buffer (30) to make the bit number of video data of the frames following the first frame approximate to the predetermined reference bit number for the best image quality. Since the bit number of variable-length-coded data of the first frame is compared with its reference bit number, and a quantizer number for the following frame is determined on the basis of the comparison, so that the bit number of the second frame data is approximate to its reference bit number.

Abstract: A process for positioning, in which a dummy  workpiece is not used, in which broadband light can be used as the light source for purposes of alignment, and in which aberration correction is unnecessary, and a device for executing the process is achieved according to the invention by executing projection onto a first mask (M1) by projection lenses (L1,L2) in which at least the workpiece facing sides of the lenses are telecentric. In a state in which a workpiece (W) is absent, actinic light is emitted from a light irradiation part (LH2) onto a second mask (M2). The first mask (or second mask) is moved such that the projected images of the alignment marks (MA2) of the second mask and the alignment marks (MA1) of the first mask come to lie on top of one another. Furthermore, the irradiation light is branched off by beamsplitter (B5) and positions of the alignment marks of the second mask are stored. Next, emission of the actinic light is stopped, a workpiece (W) is inserted into a predetermined position, broadband non-actinic light is emitted from another light irradiation part (LE), positions of the alignment marks (WA1) of the workpiece are determined and the workpiece is moved to bring these alignment marks into position on top of the stored position of the alignment marks of the second mask.

Abstract: Methods are described for producing recombinant DNA molecules from suitable host vector and nucleic acids subjected to 3'-terminal transferase activity. In one embodiment, the method takes advantage of the single 3'-deoxy-adenosine monophosphate (dAMP) residues attached to the 3' termini of PCR generated nucleic acids. Vectors are prepared with recognition sequences that afford single 3'-terminal deoxy-thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) residues upon reaction with a suitable restriction enzyme. Thus, PCR generated copies of genes can be directly cloned into the vectors without need for preparing primers having suitable restriction sites therein. The invention also contemplates associated plasmid vectors and kits for implementing the methods.

Abstract: A multi-signal multi-coder transcoder is disclosed for communications systems that can be fabricated less expensively than embodiments in the prior art and without requiring significant changes to the signal source and destination devices. An illustrative embodiment preferably comprises an input lead (211), an output lead (213), an input switch (603), an output switch (605), a pool of  N  processing elements (611-N), which are configured to perform a first coding technique and a pool of  M  processing elements (611-M), which are configured to perform a second coding technique, or possibly both techniques. When the input lead carries a plurality of multiplexed signals, each of which is to be transcoded in accordance with one of the two coding techniques, the input switch segregates and routes the incoming signals to an appropriate processing element. While a processing element is preferably configured to perform only one coding technique, each is preferably capable of transcoding multiple signals concurrently in accordance with that technique. The output switch gathers the respective transcoded signals, re-multiplexes them and transmits them on the output lead.

Abstract: Video and telephony messaging are integrated by a telephony multimedia messaging system (101) connected to a plurality of video workstations (103-104) by a LAN or WAN (100). The workstations are connected to ISDN telephone lines (153-154). The workstations answer video calls on the video lines and/or on the LAN or WAN that go unanswered by users, record video messages from the video calls, and send the video messages via the LAN or WAN to the messaging system for storage. They also retrieve stored video messages via the LAN or WAN from the messaging system and play them to users. The messaging system stores both video and non-video messages and has a telephony user interface (114-115 and 118) for storing and retrieving non-video messages and for accessing non-video portions of all messages. The video terminals perform functions, such as answering of video calls and recording of video messages, on behalf of the telephony messaging system which cannot itself perform those functions, while the messaging system performs functions, such as providing a rich set of messaging features and providing telephony access from a variety of different telephony terminals to at least portions of the video messages, on behalf of the video terminals which cannot themselves perform those functions.

Abstract: An optical transmission system utilizing a nonlinear fiber demultiplexer. A time
division multiplexed optical signal is transmitted via a first optical signal path. An
optical pump pulse is transmitted via a second optical signal path. The optical pump
pulses are synchronized to correspond to the pulses in the multiplexed optical signal for
which extraction is desired. The first and second optical signal paths are coupled such
that the portions of the multiplexed signals which are synchronized with the optical pump
pulses are amplified through Raman gain. The resulting signal is detected and passed
through a threshold detector which filters out pulses below an intensity threshold. The
desired demultiplexed signal, which was amplified by the pump pulses, passes through
the optical threshold detector as an electronic pulse.
