When no bicycle (10) is in the rack, the first guide slants upwards and the presence of the front wheel in this guide causes it to be lowered by pivoting it about an axis in the transition region between the first guide exit and second guide entrance. The swing arm can be pivoted in a vertical plane and its free end region includes a coupling means such as a bore or eyelet for securing to a bicycle lock, e.g. a chain lock. The front wheel can be pushed into the second guide via the first guide and the second guide then pivots into a lower position and the swing arm pivots into an upper position. The first and second guides are connected to each other via an angle of ca. 105 -150 [deg] with the apex in the pivot bearing region. The first guide also acts as the swing arm.

The control circuit transmits instructions specifying the selected block sizes and control parameter values to local control circuits (11). Each local control circuit is coupled to the control circuit (14) and the control input of a respective corresponding stream processing circuit (10a-c). Each local control circuit (11) receives at least part of the instructions and applies parameter values from the instructions to its corresponding stream processing circuit (10a-c).

Abstract: A camera comprises an image sensor arranged to generate an image signal, and a lens arrangement, which focuses an image onto the image sensor, the focus being variable in accordance with a control signal applied thereto. In the case that a piezoelectric actuator experiencing hysteresis is used to drive movement of the lens arrangement to vary the focus of the image, autofocusing is achieved by applying a control signal to the piezoelectric actuator with a value at an extreme of a predetermined range and subsequently changing the control signal monotonically across the predetermined range to determine a position at which the focus quality is at an acceptable level. Thus, this position may be returned to despite the hysteresis. In the case that an encoder is arranged to encode the image signal from the image sensor into an encoded signal compressed form, the encoder is operated in two modes in which different spatial frequency components are encoded preferentially, the amount of data in one of the modes being used as the basis for autofocusing. To assist in autofocusing the position of the lens arrangement may be determined using a light source and an optical element which is fixed to and movable with the lens arrangement, the optical element being arranged so that movement of the lens arrangement causes variation in the light incident on the image sensor.
