Title: ディジタル信号を処理するための方法および装置
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: (57)【要約】
本発明は、ディジタルビデオ信号のディジタル圧縮コ−ド化の準備のためにディジタルビデオ信号を分析する方法および装置に関するものである。信号（２０）を分析部（２２）に加えて、ビデオ信号のサンプルを格納し、信号のパラメ−タの数を表す差異信号を得る。このようなパラメ−タの一つは、垂直・時間方向に隣接する信号の各ピクセルサンプル間の絶対差、つまり、各サンプルと１フレ−ム期間後のサンプルの間の絶対差である。ビデオ信号の他のパラメ−タは１ライン、１フィ−ルドおよび１サンプル間隔の期間にわたって得たピクセルサンプル間の絶対差から導き出される。入力ビデオ信号のコ−ド化臨界を表す制御信号は、差異信号を蓄積し、これらを加重和として組合せることによって得られる。事前処理部（プレプロセサ）（２１）内の低域フィルタは、その帯域幅が制御信号によって制御され、ビデオ信号（２０）を濾過して、圧縮コ−ド化後に信号内のコ−ド化ア−チファクトとなるような成分を除去し、または制限する。制御信号はまた、伝送チェイン内の他の構成素子、たとえばエンコ−ダ（２３）や統計的マルチプレクサ（２４）へと送られて、画像臨界を早期に指示する。

Title: Catalyst preparation method for production of vinyl acetate
Inventor: COLLING PHILIP M
IPC: B01J23/52
Filed: 1993-10-08
Abstract: A method of preparing a catalyst particularly useful in the reaction of ethylene, oxygen and acetic acid in the vapor phase to form vinyl acetate comprises impregnating a porous support with water soluble salts of palladium and gold, fixing the palladium and gold on the support as water insoluble compounds by contacting the salt-impregnated support with a reactive solution in two separate fixing stages wherein the treated support is dried and allowed to stand prior to treatment in the second stage to precipitate the insoluble compounds on the support and reducing the insoluble compounds to free palladium and gold. The catalysts prepared in this manner have been shown to provide improvement with respect to reduced selectivity to CO2 during the vinyl acetate forming reaction.

Title: Photocatalytic hydrophilic coating composition comprising a metal oxide and a silica/silicone compound
Inventor: HAYAKAWA MAKOTO
IPC: B01J37/02
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: A composition which can make the surface of a member hydrophilic to impart anti-fogging properties thereto. This composition comprises (a) photocatalyst particles made of a metal oxide, (b) at least one component selected from the group consisting of particulate silica, precursors capable of forming silicone resin films, and precursors capable of forming silica films, and (c) a solvent, with the total content of solid components of the components (a) and (b) in the composition being 0.01 to 5 % by weight. The composition can impart hydrophilicity to a member by an extremely simple means of applying the composition to the member and drying or heating it. The hydrophilic thin film thus formed is transparent and therefore does not impair the transparency and appearance of the member, even when the member is essentially required to be transparent. The surface of a member having a film formed from the composition thereon has properties such that waterdrops adhering to the surface are immediately evaporated and that the surface is little stained and can be easily rid of stains even if stained.

Title: A method for time synchronising a first base station with a reference base station in a cdma communication system
Inventor: WHEATLEY CHARLES E
IPC: H04B1/7075
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: A method for time synchronizing a slave base station 62 with a reference base station 64.  The slave base station attains synchronization with the reference base station through messages transmitted from and received by a mobile station 60 in the soft handoff region between the reference base station and the slave base station. First, the round trip delay between the mobile station and the reference base station is measured by the reference base station. Once the mobile station acquires the signal from the slave base station, it measures and reports the difference between the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the reference base station to it and the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the slave base station to it. The last measurement necessary is a measurement by the slave base station of the time difference between the time it received the reverse link signal from the mobile and the time of transmission of a forward link signal from the base station.
