Abstract: The present invention obviates the problems inherent in the prior art synthetic resin pallets and aims at obtaining a synthetic resin pallet constructed to protect reinforcing ribs peripheral to a port area of a fork entry port from being broken by an impact and to protect an edge of a block adjacent to the port area of the fork entry port from being broken by the impact, and therefore exhibiting a high durability. A synthetic resin P of the present invention comprises a top board 11a, a bottom board 11b disposed opposite to the top board 11a, a plurality of cylindrical blocks 12 for connecting the two boards, and a fork entry port 14 formed between these blocks 12. This synthetic resin pallet is manufactured by making, face to each other, one pallet constructive member 10a including one board 11a of this pallet and cylindrical block constructive members 12a, 12b integrally formed on the inside of the board 11a, and another pallet constructive member 10b including another board 11b of the pallet and block constructive members 12b integrally formed on the inside of the board 11b, and by integrally welding the block constructive members 12a, 12b to each other. Reinforcing ribs 13 are formed lengthwise and crosswise on the inside of the board 11a or 11b of at least one pallet constructive member 10a or 10b, and the reinforcing ribs are constructed of hollowed surface reinforcing ribs 13b formed lengthwise and crosswise on the inside of the surface of the synthetic resin pallet.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for encoding a binary alpha
block (BAB) of binary pixels within a current frame based on
the current frame and a previous frame including a plurality
of BAB's, the BAB is adaptively encoded, wherein each frame
has a top field and a bottom field and each BAB has a top BAB-field
and a bottom BAB-field. If all of the binary pixels
within a BAB within the current frame are defined either as
background pixels or as object pixels, the BAB is encoded on
a BAB-by-BAB basis and if otherwise, checks the binary pixels
of the top BAB-field and the bottom BAB-field of the BAB.
Namely, if all of the binary pixels within at least one of the
top BAB-field and the bottom BAB-field are defined either as
background pixels or as object pixels, it is decided to encode
the BAB on a BAB-field by BAB-field basis, if otherwise, ME
is performed on the top BAB-field and the bottom BAB-field
based on the top field and the bottom field of the previous
frame. An then, based on the result of the ME, it is decided
to encode the BAB either on a BAB-by-BAB basis or on a BAB-field
by BAB-field basis according to a predetermined decision
rule to enhance the coding efficiency thereof.

Abstract: An auger-type ice maker comprises partitions 16
projectingly provided on the outer periphery of a pressing
head 9 which has been inserted and fixed to the upper
portion of an ice-making cylinder 1, wherein fixed blades
25 are formed at the lower portion of the partitions 16 so
as to be offset in the radial direction, and wherein the
tip of the inner circumference side portion 20a thereof is
situated above the greater diameter portion of the auger 6
provided with a spiral blade 5. In the above
construction, the offset corner portion 20c is provided
with a curvature. Accordingly, ice can be prevented from
being compressed to and adhering to the corner portion
20c. Thus, the transporting resistance of ice at the
lower portion of the partitions projectingly provided to
the outer periphery of the pressing head can be reduced,
thereby preventing decreasing in ice-making capabilities
and abnormal sounds or vibrations being emitted owing to
ice jamming occurring.

Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission system such as a DMT system. Channel information is transmitted between two transceivers using a plurality of sub-carriers modulated with symbols, each of which represents a multiplicity of bits. Each of the transceivers includes a receiver and a transmitter in which a fixed maximum value was determined for the number of bits for each symbol and in which the system is adapted to determine the bit capacity per symbol of each of the plurality of sub-carriers and to increase the number of bits represented by a symbol transmitted over those sub-carriers having a capacity less than a fixed maximum value to the maximum value by the addition of channel coding bits. The fixed maximum value for the number of bits for each symbol may be determined on the basis of the bit capacity of that one of the sub-carriers having the highest theoretical bit capacity may be at least as large as the theoretical bit capacity.

Abstract: A first feature parameter calculating circuit
outputs, as a variable of a first feature parameter,
a difference between a maximum value and a minimum
value of signal levels of pixels calculated in a local
block having a target pixel at a center. A second
feature parameter calculating circuit determines sums
of differences in signal level in the local block,
along a direction in which the pixels are arranged,
and outputs, as a variable of a second feature
parameter, a minimum value of the sums. A third
feature parameter calculating circuit binarizes the
pixels in the local block, and counts the number of
succeedingly arranged pixels having equal density, for
example, along a main scanning direction, and
calculates a difference between a maximum value and a
minimum value of the numbers counted. In the same
manner, a difference is also calculated along a sub
scanning direction, and larger of two differences is
outputted as a variable of a third feature parameter.
A judging circuit categorizes each variable multi-dimensionally
so as to discriminate a region including
the target pixel.

portion made of rubber on the outer periphery of a
reinforcing ring. In view of the fact that there is produced
a gap corresponding to the rubber thickness of the stationary
sealing portion between the outer periphery of the
reinforcing ring and inner periphery of the seal attachment
hole, the invention has an object to permit certain
supporting of the reinforcing ring by means of a stop
functional member by expanding the engagement area engaging

sealing apparatus of the invention, the engagement portion
with the housing is sealed by a stationary sealing portion
made of rubber attached to the outer periphery of the
cylindrical portion of the reinforcing ring; the sliding
portion with the shaft is sealed by sealing lips and
supported by the reinforcing ring; and the reinforcing ring
axially engages with the stop functional member such as a
stop ring fixed to the inner periphery of the housing. In
this sealing apparatus thus prevented from coming off, the
reinforcing ring is provided with an engagement area
expanding section which is arranged on the open-air side of
the cylindrical portion, having a larger diameter than the 
cylindrical portion, arranged near the inner periphery of the
housing, and expands the engagement area with the stop ring.
