Abstract: In digital video broadcasting, data for standard devices are transmitted in the MPEG2 format. In the standard device a standard MPEG decoder decodes the data. An image is generated on the screen with 720 x 576 image spots. However, the expensive standard MPEG decoder and also a filter are needed even for a screen with only 320 x 273 image spots, e.g. a 5" display. In order to dispense with the expensive standard MPEG decoder and the filter, in a first solution the same information with different bit or compression rates adapted to the data reception system is transmitted by the data transmission system (S) to the data reception systems (E1, ..., En) over several transmission channels (K1, ..., Kn). In a second solution, the bit rate of the data generated by a data source (PL) is converted into a lower bit rate by means of a bit rate converter (BRU) before being fed into a channel. Data transmission systems in which data reception systems of different standards receive data from a data transmission system.

Abstract: A novolak resin precursor is composed of bonded phenolic
moieties, one of the hydrogen atoms in the o- or p-positions
relative to the hydroxy group of each phenolic moiety is
substituted with an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 3 carbon
atoms, and the other two hydrogen atoms are bonded through
methylene bonds. The content of ortho-ortho bonding is 30 to
70% relative to the number of total methylene bonds and the weight
average molecular weight of the precursor is 300 to 10,000. A
novolak resin is obtained from this precursor, and a positive
photoresist composition comprises this novolak resin. The
invention provides a positive photoresist composition that
comprises less binuclear compounds, suppresses scum formation,
is excellent in terms of definition and coating performance and
provides a resist pattern having satisfactory heat resistance.

Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor chips includes the steps of optimizing a
number of chips that geometrically fit on a wafer and maximizing chip yield for the wafer by
considering chips located in a normally rejectable location and utilizing yield probability data
for the chip in the normally rejectable locations to weight the probability of an acceptable chip
such that if the probability is above a threshold value the chips are not rejected. This results in
an increased chip yield for semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: A pair of compact, energy-efficient,
intelligent, wireless transceiver units are designed to
replace the cable that interconnects a portable bar-code
scanner, keyboard, and display or other host to a
portable bar-code printer or the like. When reset, the
units exchange linkage packets and thereby exchange
addresses. Thereafter, the two units communicate in an
error-free fashion with each other, even in the presence
of noise and interference, by exchanging addressed
packets containing error detection information.
Alternate transmission frequencies are selected when
transmissions cannot be received at one frequency. The
host unit may maintain independent linkages with
multiple printers or the like, with a switch on the host
unit selecting the desired printer. Power usage is
minimized by shutting down transmitters, receivers,
serial port drivers, and microprocessors whenever
possible, and for extended periods when data is not
being transmitted.
