Abstract: A ceramic moulding, which is built up from at least one layer of a ceramic material and is resistant to cracking due to thermal stresses caused by steep temperature gradients, has at least one slot which extends in the direction of variable thermal expansion, the slot width being such that the greatest actual thermal expansion of the ceramic moulding is intercepted in the slot width. A process for producing the ceramic moulding is provided, in which the ceramic material is applied in at least five layers by plasma-spraying to a mould core or to a mould platen, the stress curve is determined during cooling on the mould core or the mould platen by means of strain gauges and, after separation of the ceramic material from the mould core or mould platen, at least one slot in the direction of the stress curve is made in at least one layer.

Abstract: To measure the cable tension of a cable line, the cable line is successively deflected in each case by a defined, predetermined amount between two pairs of bearing points by a force acting perpendicularly to the cable line, which bearing points are arranged at different distances from one another, and the force required for this in each case is determined via a measuring means. The cable tension is then obtained from the combination of the results of the force measurements in both measuring steps. The measurement is effected in a device in which two pairs of bearing points are provided which are at different distances apart and are successively brought into engagement with the cable line. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A silencing apparatus for effectively reducing noises in the three dimension space which detects physical characteristics of the noise source by the laser doppler sensor unit (8) during the noise source comes close to the telephone booth, and collects acoustic characteristics of the noise source by the sensor microphone array (9). The control portion generates an inverse-phased signal against the noise source so that the noises are decreased at the error sensor (11), and stores the noise source information (physical characteristics and the acoustic characteristics) and the generated inverse-phased signal. When the same noise source come closely, the voice is generated from the speaker (10) using the inverse-phased signal stored in the memory. The control portion (12) generates an inverse-phased voice from the speaker (10) when the collected noise by the sensor microphone (17) is actually over a certain threshold level.

Abstract: ( 57 ) Editing of information stored on magnetic tape involves relatively high picture-in-shuttle transport speeds. A consequence of the high speeds is that only a fraction, or a portion, of the data on a track of the tape is usually recovered. Hence, data is stored in small, yet complete, segments from which portions of the picture, called "snatches," may be recovered. 
     An image signal representing a video picture is compressed using a data compression technique that orders and formats image data so that the information represented by a snatch can be used by a data decompression technique to reconstruct a recognizable image from less than all the digital information that defines the image to be displayed. That is why the reconstructed image is also called a partial reconstructed image in the disclosure. The image comprises several fixed-size image blocks while each image block includes sufficient pixel image data to construct and to reconstruct, and accordingly to define, a corresponding portion of the image to be recovered and displayed. Video data components of a video image are converted on a line-by-line basis to generate a set of image blocks, which are discrete cosine transformed ("dct") to generate a corresponding set of dct coefficient blocks. The dct coefficients are rank ordered from lowest visibility coefficient to highest visibility coefficient. Our example of ordering by visibility corresponds to ordering from lowest dct frequency coefficient (the lower dct frequency coefficients have the higher visibility measure) to highest dct frequency coefficient (the higher dct frequency coefficients have the lower visibility measure). A data set of dct coefficients is quantized, entropy encoded, formatted, synchronized, and error encoded before being provided to a communications channel or before being recorded on magnetic tape. 
     A decompression and reconstruction arrangement performs functions which are essentially the inverse of the functions performed by the compression arrangement. It is typically during the decompression process, that the snatches are retrieved and used to partially reconstruct an image of the video picture by using some but not necessarily all the dct coefficients that define the respective image blocks.

Abstract: A graphic program configuration system is described that allows a user to create complete computer programs. In particular, the present invention improves on the prior art by providing a system and process that permits a subprogram to have an arbitrary number of outlets that may be defined at program configuration time by stimulating the subprogram to create new outlets that facilitate connecting the subprogram to other subprograms. In particular embodiments of the invention the names for the new outlets may either a) be obtained by virtue of the attempted connection of a subprogram to other subprograms or b) be provided direct entry of the outlet name by a user of the program configuration system, e.g., by typing the outlet names on the keyboard. Additionally, in accordance with an aspect of the invention, outlets can be augmented to have one or more constraining parameters that can be used to ensure that only appropriate relationships are established by connections. Such constraining parameters include: a) number of connections allowed, b) types of connections allowed, c) destination object class, and d) destination object operations required. Thus, a non-programmer or a person with only rudimentary programming skills can configure a collection of one or more subprograms into a complete computer program.
