Patent EP-0706155-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EBRAHIMI TOURADJ
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1995-04-20
Abstract: A video signal coding method and apparatus thereof and a video signal decoding apparatus of the present invention improves visual picture quality of a decoded image with higher compression rate than ever. A video signal (S1) is resolved into local luminance information composed of the smooth component, edge information composed of contour component, and texture information composed of component other than the smooth component and the contour component corresponding to each different visual importance. Then, the local luminance information is coded (S2) by a coding method which restores all of the local luminance information, the edge information is coded (S4) by a coding method by chain information and amplitude information, and the texture information is coded by a coding method having higher compression rate compared with the local luminance information (S2) and the edge information (S4). The coding can therefore be performed with higher compression rate than ever and in consideration of the visual picture quality of the restored image.

Each of the memory cells comprises a capacitor for storing information and a transfer transistor for reading information from and writing information into the capacitor, the gate of the transfer transistor being connected to a word line, the source of the transfer transistor being connected through a bit line contact (C<sub>b</sub>) to a bit line, the drain of the transfer transistor being connected through a storage capacitor contact (C<sub>s</sub>) to the storage electrode of the capacitor. A memory cell pair is formed by two nearby memory cells having a common bit line contact, and a unit memory cell array has a configuration in which the word lines are not arranged orthogonally with respect to the bit lines. The direction of the word lines or the bit lines is parallel with one side of a semi-conductor chip on which the semiconductor memory device is arranged. The unit memory cell array is divided by a straight line parallel with one side of the unit memory cell array into portions the number of which is an integer multiple of two, and the divided memory cell array constitutes two identical halves which are mirror images of each other.

Abstract: A suction feeder which can feed photosensitive material sheets of different sizes with the suction force applied thereto kept substantially constant. The suction feeder has a motor-driven endless suction belt having numerous suction holes formed uniformly over the entire area thereof. A suction box is provided under the carrier side of the suction belt. It has a belt supporting plate formed with suction holes. A motor-driven blower is connected to the suction box. The suction pressure applied to the suction holes of the suction belt through the suction holes in the belt supporting plate is reduced by reducing the revolving speed of the blower-driving motor with increase in the size of the photosensitive material sheet fed onto the carrier side of the suction belt. It is thus possible to apply substantially constant suction force to photosensitive material sheets of different sizes.

Abstract: The system for optical fibre cables includes a pivoting axis in the region of which input optical fibres are grouped together. A tongue (17) made of an elastomer material is placed in this region with its free end acting on the output (18) of the cable grouping region. The tongue serves as a deformable pressure point acting on the optical fibre cables when the cassette is pivoted. The tongue may be have a reduced thickness profile fitting against a vertical deflector which surrounds the pivot axis of the cassette. The tongue has a flexibility chosen to resist the tension in the optical fibre cable, and thus ensure satisfactory curvature of the cable.
