Abstract: A control system for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine detects a selected one of two exhaust modes: a first exhaust mode in which exhaust gases are guided through a first catalytic converter (16) upstream of a second catalytic converter (17), and a second exhaust mode in which exhaust gases are guided through a bypass passage (14a) bypassing the first catalytic converter (16). A control mode of the control system is determined according to which of the two exhaust modes is selected. The amount of fuel supplied to the engine and/or the ignition timing may be varied between values suitable for each exhaust mode. Correction of an air-fuel ratio control parameter based on the output from an oxygen sensor (32) may be inhibited when the second exhaust mode is selected.

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Koppelvorrichtung zwischen einer Glasfaser (1) und einem auf einem Substrat (2) integrierten dielektrischen Wellenleiter (22). Die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine verlust- und rückstreuarme, aber kostengünstige Koppelvorrichtung zu entwickeln, wird dadurch gelöst, daß das Faserende (11,12) - vornehmlich durch Ziehen der Faser unter Wärmeeinwirkung bis zum Abriß - bis auf einen Durchmesser in der Größenordnung typischer Kernabmessungen von dielektrischen Wellenleitern reduziert wird und andererseits auf dem Substrat eine Faseraufnahme (21) vorgesehen ist, die sich in einer ähnlichen Form verjüngt und deren Spitze in den anzukoppelnden Wellenleiter übergeht. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Glasfaser bei der Montage nur noch in die Aufnahme bis zum Anschlag geschoben zu werden braucht und sich dabei von selbst auf den Wellenleiter hin zentriert, ohne daß Toleranzen in der Fasergeometrie zu einer Verlustzunahme führen könnten, wie es bei der Stirnflächenkopplung - dem Stand der Technik - der Fall ist. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a moving picture decoding control system, when the amount of codes accumulated in a buffer memory is between first and second thresholds, the reading-out of the buffer memory is stopped and an image memory is repeatedly read out just after the I-picture or the P-picture of one frame is decoded until the amount of codes accumulated in the buffer memory exceeds the second threshold. When the amount of codes accumulated in the buffer memory is smaller than the first threshold, the reading-out of the buffer memory is stopped and the image memory is repeatedly read out until the amount of codes accumulated in the buffer memory exceeds the second threshold.

Abstract: For correction of spectra for stray radiation in a spectrometric instrument, spectral patterns are obtained for monochromatic radiation at a plurality of calibration wavelengths directed into the wavelength analyzer of the instrument. The peak profile in each pattern is replaced and the resulting data are interpolated to the ordered wavelengths of the instrument and normalized to effect stray proportions. Spectral sample data for each ordered wavelength are multiplied by stray proportions to effect stray portions identified to the ordered wavelength and respectfully to the wavelength increments across the spectral range. The stray portions for each ordered wavelength are summed and the total is subtracted from the spectral data for the ordered wavelength to effect data corrected for stray.

Abstract: Main scanning is performed by reciprocating a recording head having a plurality of recording elements. After the main scanning is completed, sub-canning is performed by conveying the recording paper for a distance corresponding to the recording width of the recording head to record an image corresponding to received image data on the recording paper. At this time, the minimum transmission time for data is set in correspondence with the recording speed of the set recording mode. For example, a decision is made as to whether a one-direction recording mode or a bidirectional recording mode is set, and when the one-direction recording mode is set, the minimum transmission time for data is set to a time longer than that set in the bidirectional recording mode. This prevents overflow of memory for storing the received image data.

Abstract: The establishment of an interactive broadcasting network requires not only a transmission channel from transmitter to receiver but also a transmission channel from receiver to transmitter. A novel method of creating a data feedback channel from receiver to transmitter is implemented in a common frequency network and involves the use of a transmission procedure in conformity with the DAB standard. Each receiver or user is assigned an identifier which is transmitted in the data feedback channel at specially reserved frequencies to request transmission capacity. A computer then allocates transmission capacity to the receiver. The signals received in the forward channel are evaluated using the synchronization symbols they contain in order to synchronize the transmitter component in the receiver. The novel process can be used in all common frequency networks which use data transmission in conformity with the DAB standard and ensures a particularly economical synchronization in the receiver.

Abstract: A system and method for coding a digitized picture is described. The picture is divided into a plurality of regions and then each region is further divided into a plurality of subregions. Linear combinations of pixels in each subregion are then computed. A subregional adaptive quantisation parameter for each of the subregions is then determined based on the coursness tolerance of that subregion as established by processing the linear combinations. A regional quantisation parameter for each region is then determined as a function of the subregional adaptive quantisation parameters and then a quantisation level for each of the regions is determined based on the regional quantisation parameter. Once the regional quantisation level for a region has been determined, it is transform encoded. The transform encoded representations of the regions are concatenated to obtain an encoded representation of the entire picture which can then be decoded for display or storage.
