Abstract: An image coding method includes the steps of producing a complexity normalizing value of respective macro blocks based on a complexity in a space domain with regard to an input image, producing a zero coefficient sum by performing a discrete cosine transform operation on the input image and counting the discrete cosine transform coefficients from -1 to +1, producing a zero coefficient normalizing value for respective macro blocks in accordance with the zero coefficient sum; producing a transient weight for respective macro blocks in accordance with the zero coefficient sum and a predetermined compression ratio, and summing the complexity normalizing value, the zero coefficient normalizing value and the transient weight so as to produce the scale factor. The quantization step size of the discrete cosine transform coefficients is controlled in a macro block unit in accordance with the scale factor. Thus, image frames having various complexities can be encoded at a constant bit rate with no deterioration of the image.

Abstract: A method that identifies the type of LCD panel used in a portable computer system based on the frequency of the oscillator signal of the DC-to-AC inverter in the LCD panel. In this method, only one signal is routed from the LCD panel to the base unit of the portable computer system for the purpose of panel identification. The inverter oscillating signal is used to increment a counter during power on operations. A system counter, which is clocked by a system clock, is used to determine the number of system clocks needed for the panel identification counter to reach a predetermined count. That number is compared with the entries of a table, in which each entry corresponds to a type of LCD panel. In this manner, the type of LCD panel can be identified based on the frequency of the inverter signal. A corresponding entry in a second table is accessed to obtain a table entry for the identified LCD panel to a full table of LCD panel parameters. The table entry is stored in a predetermined location in the Video ROM. During the video power on portion of the BIOS, the video BIOS routines access the predetermined location in the Video ROM to obtain the parameters to properly initialize the video controller.

Abstract: On convertit des charges de départ à la cire de pétrole à faible teneur en huile, en lubrifiants à indice de viscosité élevé par un procédé en deux étapes d'hydrocraquage et d'hydroisomérisation. Dans ce procédé, la charge de cire est soumise initialement à l'hydrocraquage dans des conditions modérées et est transformée en des produits du type lubrifiant dans une proportion allant généralement de 30 à 40 pour cent en poids de la charge de départ. L'hydrocraquage est effectué sous une pression d'hydrogène d'au moins 800 psig (5617 kPa) à l'aide d'un catalyseur amorphe qui extrait préférentiellement les composés aromatiques présents dans la charge de départ. L'effluent résultant de l'hydrocraquage est ensuite soumis à une hydroisomérisation au cours d'une seconde étape dans laquelle on utilise un catalyseur à zéolite béta de faible acidité. Cette seconde étape peut se dérouler à pression élevée par acheminement en cascade du produit de la première étape vers cette seconde étape ou bien à faible pression, généralement de 200 à 1000 psig (1480 à 6996 kPa). Le catalyseur utilisé au cours de la seconde étape est de préférence un métal précieux contenant un catalyseur à zéolithe béta. Cette seconde étape se déroule à une température relativement basse, généralement de 600° à 650 °F (316° à 343 °C). On peut procéder à une dernière étape de déparaffinage pour atteindre le point d'écoulement.

Abstract: An automatic transmission control apparatus has a clutch (1), a hydraulic servo for the clutch, a fluid pressure control unit, a range shift detector, and an electronic control unit. The fluid pressure control unit has a manual valve, a pressure regulating valve device, and a changeover valve device. The electronic control unit controls the changeover valve device and the pressure regulating valve device. Immediately after shift to the forward driving range, the electronic control unit holds the changeover valve device in such a state that a forward driving range pressure is supplied without passing through the pressure regulating valve device. Then, the electronic control unit shifts the changeover valve device to such a state that a regulated pressure is supplied from the pressure regulating valve device, which has been switched to a pressure regulating state by the electronic control unit. This control operation precisely sets the fluid pressure changeover timing and the initial fluid pressure.

Abstract: A lean burn combustor for a gas turbine engine has a pilot burner (114) which injects fuel and air separately, the air being injected as a swirling column from a circular slot (302) in the burner head (214) to establish a divergent columnar shear layer (303) in the combustor, and the fuel being injected from a peripheral annular gap in the burner head towards the column of air (300) for mixing with it in the shear layer (303). A main burner (120,122) surrounds the pilot burner and by means of swirler passages (122) injects a fuel-lean main fuel/air mixture into the combustor towards the shear layer (303) for mixing with the pilot fuel and air. The shear layer establishes a sheltered combustion region (107) near the pilot burner and some fuel/air mixture (304) capable of stable combustion in the sheltered region is recirculated from the shear layer into the sheltered region to increase the stability of lean burn combustion in the combustor over a wide range of engine load conditions.

Abstract: The present invention discloses surface covering products and methods and an apparatus for making surface covering products. In particular, the method of the present invention includes depositing color particles on a moving carrier to form a base layer. The base layer then comes in contact with a patterned embossing device such as a roll to create a depressed or displaced pattern image on the base layer. Afterwards, accent particles or pellets are sprinkled or applied over the embossed base layer. The embossed base layer is subjected to heat and/or pressure to consolidate the accent and color particles and form a preformed mass. The preformed mass is then pressed to form a fused, texture-created structure. The surface covering products made from the process of the present invention have unique geometric patterns with well-defined grout lines or irregular decorative designs.
