Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the characteristics of a received video signal which is in the form of a sample train, the received video signal comprising only part of the original video signal. The known samples are arranged by using delay circuits (60, 70) into a sample space from the samples of which some are applied to a plurality of sub-interpolation means (30, 40, 50), in which sample candidates are simultaneously formed by using a fixed processing algorithm. A larger number of known samples are applied to a control means (10) perceiving the environment of the sample to be interpolated. It produces a control signal for the selection means (20) which selects, as the new interpolated sample, one of the outputs of the sub-interpolation means (30, 40, 50, 80), whereafter this is added to the sample train of the original video signal.

Abstract: The transmission method provides an at least doubled data transmission, the data message pairs (T1.1, T2) to be transmitted being represented, by means of suitable measures, by statistically mutually independent bit sequences; this is achieved by using a cryptological coding method in at least one of the data sequences generated at the source end. If this is given, the probability that the data messages in each case belonging together are falsified by interfering influences in such a manner that their falsification can no longer be detected by data comparison at the sink end can be considered as being negligibly small. The method according to the invention, in connection with failsafe signal sources (Q) and sinks (S) allows the failsafe data transmission via a non-failsafe data transmission system, the implementation of which can be completely unknown. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image processing machine processes image data of a letter document into binary data which are then put through smoothing-out processing, and image data of a photograph document into binary data by a method in which the optical density of a document is retained, in order to provide high-quality, smooth binary images of both letter documents and photograph documents. One memory stores data both for smoothing-out processing in the case of a letter document and for binary-processing in the case of a photograph document. The memory is used selectively for either type of processing. Thus, circuitry for the processing is simplified.

Abstract: A tape cassette includes a first rib (25) projecting upwardly from a bottom wall (23) of a cassette case (2) at a position between a middle and one side of a tape drawing recess (7) formed on a front surface of the cassette case (2), the first rib (25) being disposed close to the rear surface of the tape (13) in the cassette. A second rib (30) projects from a back lid (17) so that, when the back lid (17) is rotated to reach an open position, the second rib (30) is kept in contact or proximity to an upper end of the first rib (25). When the back lid (17) is in the open position, the second rib (30) is disposed in contact or proximity to the upper end of the first rib (25), thereby avoiding any gap between the first rib (25) and the second rib (30). Accordingly, even when a part of the tape (13) is lifted by the back lid (17) in a lid opening operation, there is no possibility of the tape (13) passing to the rear side of the first rib (25), thereby preventing risk of tape jamming and damage to a tape player.

Abstract: The camera system (10,100) of the present invention simultaneously searches for a number of differing optical acquisition targets (44). Upon detecting an acquisition target (44) it decodes according to corresponding differing decoding algorithms. To facilitate this operation there is a system bus (170) as well as a dedicated data bus (172) for applying a scan signal of an optical scanning device (154) to differing detection circuitry. This system may decode, for example, both bar codes and concentric rings. The scan signal is constantly adjusted according to both a dark reference for correcting offset and a white reference for correcting gain. The gain is also corrected according to the scanning rate as well as the amount of illumination present. A measure of this illumination may be applied directly to the optical scanning device (154) by way of a fiber optic cable (402) which transmits light from the illumination source (15). When detecting concentric rings the system of the present invention uses stored templates which represent a number of transformations of the target (44), for example, a number of magnifications. When the transformation of a target (44) is determined, the corresponding stored template is correlated with the scan signal from the optical scanning device (154). To detect concentric rings the scan signal is applied to interleaving circuitry (180) which correlates more than one scan at a time to provide constant throughput even though the stages of the detector operate at different speeds. Optical calibration is eliminated by fixed optics wherein all optical elements are rigidly mounted at very close tolerances. The illumination source (15) is disposed on one focus (22) of an ellipse (18) wherein the other focus (24) is disposed at the maximum scanning distance and the reflector (14) is formed to define the illumination ellipse (18) to maximize the light applied to the object (42). The various heat producing elements are disposed in sealed compartments (40a,c) which are cooled by forced air which is circulated through a heat exchanger. A real time focusing system (500) is provided wherein the distance from the scanning device (154) to an opposing surface (20,42) is constantly monitored and the system is constantly focused according to the distance.
