Abstract: A user terminal 16 on the surface of the earth 14
communicates with a satellite 10 10' for telephone
calls. When setting-up a call, the user terminal 16
listens to broadcasts from all radio sources 10 10' 20
20' and measures the strength. In addition to a measured
strength, the broadcasts also include indication of the
satellite 10 10' power level, the local level of
interference at the satellite 10 10', and other factors
which will determine how much power the user terminal 16
needs to use when requesting service. The user terminal
16 works our which source 10 10' 20 20' will require
least power for a request for service and directs the
request for service to that source. If the required
power exceeds the maximum the user terminal can provide,
the maximum user terminal 16 power is used. If the
required power exceeds a predetermined limit, the user
terminal power is restricted to that predetermined
limit.

Abstract: A tyre air-pressure abnormality alarm device for
informing decrease in air-pressure of tyres attached
to a four-wheeled vehicle, characterised in that the
device prohibits start of initialising operations
for updating stored values for physical amounts
related to tyres or wheels in the case where air-pressures
of the tyres are judged to be normal, if
air-pressure abnormality of a tyre is being alarmed.
Initialisation is accepted only after the internal
pressure has become normal, whereby erroneous
initialisation with any tyre being in a decompressed
condition can be prevented. Thus, normal operations
for detecting decompression of a tyre can be
maintained.

Abstract: In a data multiplexer for multiplexing and outputting data
streams of plural channels, multiplexing efficiency can be
improved by effectively using a data transmission rate of a

tip portion (12) outward elongates from the center portion (11)

(12), a swept-back angle λ(r) at a distance r from the rotation
center of a rotor satisfies relational expression (1) of a rotor
blade length R of a rotorcraft, a maximum flight Mach number
M ∞  which is a flight limit speed of the rotorcraft, a blade tip
Mach number M TIP  which is a tip speed during hovering, and a drag
divergence Mach number M dd  which is determined from the aerofoil

it is possible to provide a rotor blade for a rotorcraft in which
the performance in high-speed flying is improved, the high-speed
impulsive noise can be reduced, and a high control

Abstract: A high precision sub-pixel spatial alignment of digital images, one
from a reference video signal and another from a corresponding test video
signal, uses an iterative process and incorporates spatial resampling along
with basic correlation and estimation of fractional pixel shift. The
corresponding images from the reference and test video signals are
captured and a test block is overlaid on them at the same locations to
include texture from the images. FFTs are performed within the test block
in each image, and the FFTs are cross-correlated to develop a peak value
representing a shift position between the images. A curve is fitted to the
peak and neighboring values to find the nearest integer pixel shift
position. The test block is shifted in the test image by the integer pixel
shift position, and the FFT in the test image is repeated and correlated
with the FFT from the reference image. The curve fitting is repeated to
obtain a fractional pixel shift position value that is combined with the
integer pixel shift value to update the test block position again in the test
image. The steps are repeated until an end condition is achieved, at
which point the value of the pixel shift position for the test block in the
test image relative to the reference image is used to align the two images
with high precision sub-pixel accuracy.
