Abstract: The method involves dividing video signals into groups of blocks (3), macro blocks (4) and blocks (5). The coded image contents of the blocks are transferred as data packets (7) consisting of information fields and headers. A CBPY pattern (11) is transferred in the block header to indicate whether non-zero coefficients exist for the blocks of a macro block after encoding an quantisation. The presence of coefficients for each block is predicted on the basis of the coefficients of the adjacent blocks. An Exclusive-OR combination of real and predicted patterns is performed, whose result is transferred in coded form.

Abstract: The machine has a hydraulic motor (22) driving the boring bit (34) connected to the hydraulic supply (64) by a control unit (46) which varies the speed of the motor. The axial thrust on the boring bit is provided by a hydraulic ram (11) also controlled by a control unit. The control system monitors the action of the boring bit and adjusts the drive to generate maximum boring speed for the particular soil conditions. The working rate applied to the borer is derived from the product of the boring speed and the applied torque taking into account the applied axial thrust and the resulting axial speed. The control system calculates the soil resistance. The actual boring settings for particular soil conditions are stored in a memory for simple recall.

equiangular intervals about the axis (8) of the laser rod
(1).

Abstract: An improved audio browser is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality
of hypertext links (hereafter called "hyperlink words") available from, for example, a World
Wide Web document, are used as a vocabulary of a speech recognizer for an  audio  browser.
These hyperlink words are read to the user in the ordinary course of the audio browser's
"speaking voice" -- such hyperlink words being identified to the user by, for example, a
change in voice characteristics for the "speaking voice." When a user wishes to select a
hyperlink word, the user merely repeats the hyperlink word itself, rather than speaking a
command or using a DTMF tone. The speech recognizer, which has as its vocabulary some
or all of the hyperlink words of the document, recognizes the spoken hyperlink word and
causes the jump to the linked address associated with the recognized hyperlink word.

Abstract: A fixture for use in the microwave measurement of the moisture content of grain comprises a hollow support member (14), an antenna support assembly (12) supporting antennas (16, 18) for emitting and receiving microwaves, and a sample scoop (10). The support member (14), antenna support assembly (12) and scoop (10) are made of a low dielectric plastic material which has negligible effect on the microwaves. The antenna support assembly (12) includes a cylindrical sleeve (24) with two support stubs (26, 28) extending radially outwardly from the sleeve. The support member (14) has two recesses (21) in its top surface (25) for receiving the stubs (26, 28) so as to position the antenna support assembly and the antennas (16, 18) relative to the support member (14). The sleeve (24) has an inside diameter slightly greater than the outside diameter of the scoop (10) so that the scoop (10) may be inserted into the sleeve and rest on the same supporting surface (50) as the support member (14). The arrangement is such that when the scoop (10) is loaded with a sample of grain and inserted through the sleeve (24), the centre of the grain sample is substantially aligned with the antennas (16, 18).

Abstract: A method and system assign an image classification (WindowBit) to a multi-level grey scale pixel value (V i ). The multi-level grey scale pixel value is modified based on an error (E FB , E FIFO )generated by previously processed pixels and the image classification of the multi-level grey scale pixel and processed based on the assigned image classification to reduce the number of grey levels in the multi-level grey scale pixel value. An error (E rr ) is generated based on the processing of the modified multi-level grey scale pixel value and a portion of the error (E FB ) is diffused to a next pixel in a fastscan direction and a remaining portion of the error (E FIFO ) is diffused to pixels in a slowscan direction. The modified multi-level grey scale pixel value referred above includes an error from the previously processed neighboring pixels if the current pixel is classified as being processed as an error diffused pixel. The modified multi-level grey scale pixel value equals to the original pixel value if the current pixel is classified as being processed as a non-error diffused pixel.

Abstract: A distributed interrupt controller system for use in
a multiprocessor environment, has at least two local
programmable interrupt controllers (LOPICs) coupled to at
least one central programmable interrupt controller (COPIC)
via a dedicated bus. The COPIC functions as a master
arbiter, while the LOPICs, each of which may be integrated
with its corresponding processing unit, and any other non-master
COPICs are treated as bus agents. Bus grant is
achieved by a "round robin" arbitration protocol. For
distributed delivery of interrupts, the master arbiter
compares a current-task-priority-register value associated
with each bus agent to determine the agent that is least
busy for delivery of the interrupt thereto.

Abstract: A first pattern is illuminated in a first exposure step with a light beam which
is inclined by a predetermined amount in a direction perpendicular to a line
direction of a first L/S pattern with respect to an optical axis of a projection
optical system (PL). The illumination in this manner causes two-beam
illumination effected by a 0-order diffracted light beam and a -1-order
diffracted light beam generated from the first pattern formed on a mask (R).
Modified illumination is performed in a second exposure step for a mask
formed with an L/S second pattern including a line pattern in a direction
perpendicular to the first line pattern. A pattern image, which has a high
resolution and a large depth of focus in the respective line directions, can be
formed on a photosensitive substrate (W1, W2) by performing multiple
exposure by using the modified illumination in the separate steps respectively
for the first and second patterns which are in an orthogonal relationship. The
multiple exposure is performed by using a mask stage or mask stages
(WS1,WS2) for carrying a plurality of masks independently or simultaneously.

Abstract: In a BGA/CSP type electronic part (1) having a matrix-shaped
array of solder pads on its back surface, the solder pads at
first two corners on one side of the array are connected with
each other by an inner pattern wire (3a), and the solder pads
at the other, second two corners on the opposite side are also
connected with each other by an inner pattern wire (3b). In
a printed wiring board (4) having a matrix-shaped array of
connection pads on its top surface, pattern wires (6a, 6b, 6c,
6d) are extended from the connection pads at four corners of
the connection pad array to form test lands (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d).
Further, the connection pads, at two of the corners, to be
bonded with the solder pads at one of the first two corners
and at one of the second two corners confronting the one of
the first two corners are connected with each other by a
pattern wire (6i). Thus, after the BGA/CSP type electronic
part is mounted in position on the printed wiring board, the
state of the connection between the BGA/CSP type electronic
part and the printed wiring board can be confirmed by checking
the state of continuity between the test lands (7a, 7c)
connected with the connection pads at the other two corners
of the connection pad array.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à régler la puissance du signal dans un système de communication, lesquels permettent d'assurer un réglage amélioré de la puissance lors d'une modification de la vitesse à laquelle sont transmises des données entre un émetteur (2) et un récepteur (4). Lorsque les données arrivent à l'émetteur (2) pour être transmises à une vitesse élevée, le retour de régulation de puissance passe d'un mode lent (avec une voie de retour à bande passante étroite) à un mode rapide (avec une voie de retour à grande largeur de bande). Ce réglage s'effectue avant même que les données soient transmises à vitesse élevée. Dès qu'une estimation exacte du niveau de puissance nécessaire à la transmission des données à vitesse élevée a été établie, la transmission s'effectue à la vitesse élevée.
