Title: Television transmission system using transform coding
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1988-04-06
Granted: 1992-07-01
Abstract: In a television transmission system for digital picture signals each picture is split up into sub-pictures of NxN pixels for the purpose of reducing the bit rate. Each sub-picture is subjected to a two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) for determining basic picture weighting factors (coefficients) which are converted by means of adaptive coding into code words of variable length. This two-dimensional DCT is realised by multiplying the pixels of each row of the sub-picture by the NxN DCT matrix (one-dimensional transform). Consequently, an NxN array of product elements is obtained. The transposed version thereof is once more multiplied by the NxN DCT matrix. Such a one-dimensional transform comprises three main steps. In a first main step the pixels of a row are converted in a first iteration step into N/2 sum elements u1,i and N/2 difference elements v1,i. In a subsequent iteration step the N/2 sum elements u1,i are converted into N/4 further sum elements u2,i and N/4 further difference elements v2,i. This process is repeated until only two sum elements are left. The difference elements obtained in each step are used to determine a plurality of auxiliary sum elements in still further iteration steps. The remaining two sum elements, the difference elements and the auxiliary sum elements are each multiplied in the second main step by an associated linear combination of elements of the DCT matrix. Of the sub-products thus obtained selected one's of those products are added together or are subtracted from each other in the third main step so that the desired product elements are obtained.

Title: Seat, in particular for a crewmember of an aircraft
IPC: B64D11/06
Filed: 1989-06-01
Granted: 1992-12-30
Abstract: A seat or chair especially for a flight attendant in an aircraft has a backrest section and a seat section hinged to each other and to a frame in such a way that the backrest section and the seat section can take up different angular positions relative to each other and relative to a vertical frame or to the horizontal. Thus, the chair can be folded to take up several positions including positions in which the seat section takes up lower or higher elevations above the floor. For this purpose the upper end of the back rest section is pivotally guided in a guide mechanism while the lower end of the backrest section is journalled to the rear portion of the seat section at a journal axis which simultaneously forms the journal axis of a support and guide member also hinged to the seat section. The support and guide member is hinged intermediate its ends to the frame through a fixed journal so that the rear edge of the support and guide member can engage a stop in the frame. The guide mechanism at the upper end of the frame permits a tilting motion and a linear sliding motion of the upper end of the backrest section. Thus, the seat section, the backrest section, and the support and guide member together form a type of crank drive. Several positions of the chair may be adjusted, including a lower seat position in which the seat section is slanted relative to the horizontal for an increased comfort.

Title: Process and installation drying sewage sludge
IPC: C02F11/13
Filed: 1990-01-17
Granted: 1991-10-30
Abstract: Sewage sludge passes through a viscous plastic phase between about 50 and 60 % dry matter content during drying. As at this consistency drying in a contact drier is not possible, mechanically dewatered sewage sludge has been first brought to a dry matter content of about 65 % by admixture with finished material, and the resulting mixed product fed to the contact drier. A very large amount of material is returned, causing a significant expense for marginal installations. With convective drying, e.g. in a belt drier, such back-mixing may be avoided, as the sticky consistency of the sludge has a less interfering effect here. Convective drying however has a high heat requirement and requires great expenditure for waste gas purification. According to the invention, mechanical dewatering of the sewage sludge is followed by a predrying in the contact drier. This is stopped before the product reaches the viscous plastic phase. In a process in which the final drying is likewise carried out in a contact drier, the predried intermediate is brought to a dry matter content of approximately 65 % by admixture of a relatively small quantity of final product. The viscous plastic region is thus passed over, and the final drying in the contact drier is possible without difficulty. In another process according to the invention in which the final drying is carried out in a belt drier, the intermediate is granulated without back-mixing with the final product and applied to the belt drier. In the belt drier only a relatively small quantity of water remains to be evaporated. The area of application is the drying of sewage sludge to a dry matter content substantially over 65 %, in particular over 90 %.

Title: Dried fat emulsion product and method of producing the same
IPC: A23D9/00
Filed: 1990-01-19
Granted: 1993-08-11
Abstract: Dried fat emulsion products having improved resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures are produced by the two stage encapsulation of oil or fat globules with a hydrophilic film forming material. An aqueous dispersion of an edible fat or oil, a hydrophilic film forming material, a carbohydrate and water is emulsified to form an oil-in-water emulsion concentrate in which fat globules are encapsulated by the film forming material. After formation of the emulsion concentrate, a second portion of a hydrophilic film forming material is added to the emulsion concentrate in an amount substantially equivalent to the amount of film former in the aqueous dispersion, to provide an additional coating layer of film forming material encapsulating the fat globules. This second portion of film forming material may be added to the emulsion prior to or subsequent to drying of the emulsion concentrate.

Abstract: In a device for feeding cans to a continuous sterilizer provided with a moving chain with can holders for guiding cans through the steriliser, the cans are supplied in measured quantities according to the capacity of the sterilizer on a can supply belt (10). A counting device (14, 18) disposed near the end of the can supply belt counts out a predetermined number of cans from the supplied cans repeatedly at intervals and forms them into a group (16). The number of cans counted out per unit time is greater than the number of cans supplied per unit time, so that an interval arises between the groups of cans (16). The groups of cans are placed on an intermediate belt (15) for conveying the groups of cans to an insertion device (11a), which places the groups of cans in the can holders of the sterilizer. The number of cans in each group is such that the can holders are always optimally filled.
