Patent EP-0541476-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOLT WILLIAM J
IPC: G01L5/00
Filed: 1992-10-22
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for measuring and controlling the tensile load on a fastener (F). The fastener is positioned to connect together two or more components (X) of a workpiece. A drive unit (12) couples to the fastener to thread it into place. The fastener exerts a clamping force on the components to connect them together. The clamping force created by the fastener produces an equal and opposite tensile force on the fastener. A controller (16) starts and stops operation of the drive unit. The controller controls the drive unit to thread the fastener into place until it exerts a predetermined amount of clamping force on the components. A test unit (18) generates ultrasonic waves and transmits them lengthwise through the fastener. The transit time of the waves through the fastener is then measured. The transit time of the waves is a function of the tensile force on the fastener and, in turn, a function of the clamping force exerted by the fastener.

Abstract: An interframe coding system which eliminates higher frequency components contained in an image signal effectively and adaptively with an adaptive filter provided in a coding loop. The adaptive filter eliminates the higher frequency components with the optimal filtering intensity for an image signal specified with a filtering coefficient which is decided by a filter controller. The filtering coefficient is decided by normalization of the difference between an input image signal and a predictive signal from a frame memory by the "Activity" of the input image signal or the predictive signal. The "Activity" can be based upon the sum of the absolute or squared difference values based upon the mean value of luminance intensity of pixels of the image signal.

Abstract: In a method of transmitting an extended television signal comprising a wide aspect ratio picture between two horizontal bars so as to form a standard aspect ratio picture, in which vertical resolution enhancement signals are transmitted to improve the vertical resolution upon display on an enhanced television receiver, this method comprises the steps of separating the vertical resolution enhancement signals into a low-frequency part (DC - 1.5 MHz) and a high-frequency part (1.2 - 2.9 MHz); transmitting the high-frequency part during the horizontal bars, which high-frequency part is not modulated onto a subcarrier; and transmitting the low-frequency part during the horizontal bars after modulation onto a subcarrier (4.43 MHz).

Abstract: In a digital video signal recording and reproducing apparatus using bit rate reduction coding, information is multiplexed to each record block. When error correction is carried out, error concealment is applied to any sync block having an error uncorrectable by the error correction, and error concealment information indicating that the error concealment was carried out is multiplexed to the record block to be outputted. Also, since the continuity of bit rate reduction encoded data split over a plurality of blocks may be broken by concealing a part of the blocks, decoding information for controlling the decoding of bit rate reduction encoded data is multiplexed to the record block to be outputted. When an error concealment is not carried out in the bit rate reduction encoded state, an error flag indicating that an error exists is multiplexed to the record block to be outputted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for sampling randomly occurring signals, specifically those which have a steep rise and a gradual fall, in which the sampling AD conversion is carried out in accordance with the two-step method with coarse/fine-range architecture and interpolating residue coding. Use is made of two sampling AD converters, which have a low resolution and a high sampling frequency, a digital summer, an integrator and a DA converter. According to the invention, the sampled values of the AD converter are digitally integrated in the integrater, with the result that a digital reconstruction of the input signal is obtained at the output of the integrator. This reconstruction is converted back again into an analog signal by the DA converter and then subtracted from the input signal by means of the analog subtracter in order to form an analog residual-value signal (residue), which is in turn digitised by the AD converter with the same sampling frequency and then added via the summer to the integrator. A digital representation of the input signal is obtained in this way at the output of the integrator, which representation, in comparison with the internally used AD converters, has a higher resolution and an expanded dynamic range at the same sampling rate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Whether or not a luminance signal of an HD input signal is input to a picture signal recording apparatus is detected, and a recording mode is determined according to the detection of the luminance signal in a recording mode determining unit. In cases where the luminance signal is detected, first and second color difference signals of the HD input signal are alternately deleted on every scanning line. Thereafter, the luminance signal pertaining to odd-numbered scanning lines and the first color difference signal are time-compressed and multiplexed on every scanning line, and the luminance signal pertaining to even-numbered scanning lines and the second color difference signal are time-compressed and multiplexed on every scanning line. In contrast, in cases where the luminance signal is not detected, a luminance signal and first and second color difference signals of a normal picture signal input to the apparatus are time-compressed and multiplexed on every scanning line. Thereafter, the signals multiplexed are recorded on a magnetic tape according to the recording mode. Therefore, even though the number of scanning lines in the HD input signal is higher than that in the normal picture signal, the first and second color signals can be recorded within a limited frequency band.
