Abstract: An apparatus for decoding a coded signal to provide an output video
signal, the coded signal being derived by applying predictive coding to an input
video signal having a field rate of 60 Hz and being derived from a motion
picture film source by 2-3 pull-down, the predictive coding being applied such
that frames of the input video signal consisting of fields derived from different
frames of the motion picture source are coded using field mode coding, and all
other frames of the input video signal are coded using frame mode coding, the
coded video signal including a processing mode flag signal indicating a coding
mode for each frame, the apparatus comprising:
   extracting means for extracting the processing mode flag for each frame
from the coded signal; and   means for applying inverse predictive coding to the coded signal to
provide the output video signal, the inverse predictive coding for each frame
having the coding mode indicated by the processing mode flag extracted by the
extracting means.

Abstract: Interconnection of a multimedia terminal (110) of a narrowband, LAN-type
network (10) to an exchange (118) and thence to an end-point (119) is
orchestrated through an intermediate network (142), as shown in FIG. 5. A
route (115) to the exchange (118) is initially established by a call handler
(116) in responsive to a called party number of the end-point, before a
connection supervisor (120), coupled to the call handler (116), sets up a
control channel across the intermediate network (142). The control channel
supports the communication of control messages between the multimedia
terminal (110) and the end-point (119), which control messages are
intercepted and interpreted by the connection supervisor (120). The
connection supervisor (120) then establishes media paths through the
intermediate network (142) dependent upon types of control message sent
across the control channel, which media paths are used to transfer traffic
components across the intermediate network.

Abstract: A page wide printhead (32) for an ink-jet printer
includes a plurality of ink-jet nozzles (n) exceeding
the number of nozzles used to print across the widest
sheet of material (34, 38, 44) to be printed by the
printer. The excess nozzles (n',n'') permit the
mounting tolerances for printheads to be relaxed so that
only selected ones of the nozzles of mounted printheads
are within a print site (40, 46, 50) for printing the
widest sheet of material to be printed. By selecting
those nozzles within the maximum print site for
operation of the printer, the sheet wide printheads are
effectively mounted with a much higher precision than
the relaxed tolerances permit so that ink-jet printers
having sheet wide printheads can be economically
manufactured. The identification of the nozzles within
the maximum print site is performed by printing marks,
preferably vertical lines, on a sheet of material and
comparing the printed marks to an indicia representing
the nominal location for a given picture element (pel).
The corresponding mark determines which nozzle should be
selected for printing that pel. The difference between
the selected nozzle and the nominal location of the
given pel determines an offset which can be applied to
all of the nozzles of the page wide printhead for
printing within the maximum print site. Alternately, a
transformation mapping can be assembled for converting
nominal pel locations to be printed to actual nozzles of
the page wide printhead.

Laserstrahls durch den nichtlinearen Kristall (4) einen frequenzvervielfachten Strahl (8) mit
der doppelten oder höheren Vielfachen der Frequenz des primären Laserstrahls zu
erzeugen. Bei einem Laser üblicher Bauart besteht der primäre Laserstrahl aus ca. 5 bis 20
longitudinalen Moden. Wird bei einem solchen Laser innerhalb des Resonators ein
nichtlinearer Kristall (4) angeordnet, so kommt es zu starkem Rauschen der Amplitude des
damit erzeugten frequenzvervielfachten Strahls. 
     Die Verbesserung wird dadurch erreicht, daß ein Separator (4) zur räumlichen Trennung
des primären Laserstrahls (7) von dem frequenzvervielfachten Strahl (8) vorgesehen ist,
so daß sowohl die Anzahl als auch die Verteilung der longitudinalen Moden aufgrund von
reduzierter Wechselwirkung von sekundärer Bedeutung ist.
