Abstract: In a method of detecting motion vector data indicative of motion of a partial area in an input picture from any area on a reference picture, a first distortion between a partial area constructed by fields of the input picture and a partial area constructed by fields of the reference picture is calculated as a first evaluation value; a position of the partial area constructed by the fields of the reference picture at which the first evaluation value becomes the minimum value is detected; a search windowon a frame of the reference picture is set on the basis of a detected position of the partial area constructed by the fields of the reference picture previously detected; and a second distortion between a partial area constructed by a frame in the set search window and a partial area constructed by a frame of the input picture is calculated as a second evaluation value, and a position of the partial area constructed by the frame of the reference picture at which the second evaluation value becomes the minimum value is detected. Therefore, the frame vectors can be detected on the basis of the field vector detection positions, so that the amount of calculations required to retrieve frame vectors can be reduced markedly, without degrading the detection precision of the frame vectors.

Filed: 1995-09-19
Abstract: A magnetic head having a pair of magnetic core halves integrally bonded to each other, each magnetic core half being formed by a single-crystal ferrite piece and a polycrystal ferrite piece bonded together to constitute a junction ferrite, with a magnetic gap being defined between abutting surfaces of the magnetic core halves. The single-crystal ferrite pieces are arranged towards the abutting surfaces of the magnetic core halves and the polycrystal ferrite pieces are arranged on the opposite side of the abutting surfaces with respect to the single-crystal ferrite pieces. Preferably, the surface of the single-crystal ferrite piece having sliding contact with the magnetic recording medium, the gap surface of the single-crystal ferrite piece and the surface of the single-crystal ferrite piece corresponding to the lateral surface of the magnetic head are the (211) plane, (111) plane and the (110) plane, respectively. The directions of the 〈100〉 crystal axes within the plane (100) are symmetrical to each other on both sides of the magnetic gap. The magnetic head is low in sliding noise and superior in electro-magnetic conversion characteristics. In addition, the magnetic recording medium is superior in abrasion characteristics since the partial advancing abrasion is prohibited from occurring on its surface configured to have sliding contact with the magnetic recording medium.

Abstract: A timing technique for a Quantization-Level-Sampling (QLS) modem puts timing information in a downstream pulsed signal transmitted from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to the QLS modem. In response to this timing information, the QLS modem synchronizes to the network sampling clock of the PSTN. In particular, the pulsed signal includes data-bearing samples, which were provided by a far-end QLS modem, and at least one non-user-data-bearing (NUDB) sample in which the level of this NUDB sample periodically alternates. The QLS modem extracts timing information from this periodic alternating signal level to synchronize the QLS modem to the network sampling clock.

Abstract: An optical amplifying apparatus which includes an optical amplifier, an optical attenuator and a controller. The optical amplifier amplifies a light signal having a variable number of channels. The optical attenuator passes the amplified light signal and has a variable light transmissivity. Prior to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal prior to the varying the number of channels. While the number of channels in the light signal is being varied, the controller maintains the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator to be constant. Subsequent to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal subsequent to the varying the number of channels.

Abstract: A process for desulphurization of a gaseous
substrate containing O 2 , SO 2 , SO 3 , H 2 , SO 4 , H 2 S, CS 2 , COS
and/or organic sulphur-containing components. The combustible
components are oxidized catalytically into H 2 O, CO 2 ,
and SO 2 . The SO 2  is further oxidized catalytically into
SO 3 , which in presence in the substrate of at least an
equivalent amount of H 2 O in the gas, is further hydrated
and condensed as sulphuric acid. The process is conducted
in two reactors that are connected in series, each reactor
being loaded with a layer of inert material below a layer
of oxidation catalyst. The process includes reversing a
direction of gas flow in the reactors after periods of
about 1-40 minutes. The temperature in layers of the oxidation
catalyst in the reactors is maintained in a range of
300-500 o C. The temperature of the gas stream leaving the
reactors is at least 50 o C below the H 2 SO 4  dew point of the
process gas after oxidation of the sulphur content in the
feed gas. Condensed sulphuric acid is drained off from the
bottom of each of the reactors.

Abstract: The present specification describes a method and apparatus to dispense and spread a liquid from a container (200) onto a surface. A paddle (400) is attached to a cannula (350) which is inserted into the stopper (220) of a container (200), such as a test tube. The cannula (350) flexes the stopper (220) to dispense the sample (390) through the cannula (350). After dispensing the sample (390), the paddle (400) smears, crushes, or distributes the dispensed sample (390). This increases the safety, speed and efficiency of the smear procedure, and reduces the risk that the sample (390) will be contaminated. Further, the method and apparatus include the alternate use of a temperature differential, rather than flexing the stopper (220), to safely dispense hazardous biological and chemical samples from the container (200).

Abstract: A dispersive optical wave guide tap comprises a blazed and chirped refractive
index grating (14) in the core of the waveguide (12), coupling means (15) and utilization
means (19). The grating is selected such that guided mode light of predetermined
wavelength will, in the absence of the coupling means, be directed into one or more
cladding modes of the waveguide. The presence of the coupling means in optical cooperation
with the waveguide, changes the guiding conditions such that the cladding
modes are substantially eliminated from a portion of the waveguide that includes the
cladding, whereby the grating directs the guided mode light into one or more radiation
modes. The blaze angle typically is ≤15°. The chirp serves to bring the radiation mode
light substantially to a focus in at least one dimension, the focal point (or line) depending
on the wavelength of the light. The utilization means exemplarily comprise an array of
photodetectors, and the coupling means exemplarily comprise an appropriately shaped
glass member and index matching means. Dispersive waveguide taps are advantageously
used in WDM optical communication systems, e.g., to provide status information (e.g.,
channel wavelength, channel power, including presence or absence of a channel) to, e.g.,
a system maintenance unit. The status information facilitates maintenance of operating
conditions by conventional feedback control.
