Abstract: A line width (w1) on the grounded side of distributed-constant-line-type
resonators (2, 3) which form a
distributed-constant-line-type filter (1) is made wider than
a line width (w2) on the open side. By increasing the line
width (w1) on the grounded side, where a larger electric
current flows, of a distributed-constant-line-type resonator
(1), the line resistance of the distributed-constant line
decreases, making it possible to reduce the loss of the
distributed-constant-line-type resonator (2, 3) and further
to reduce the insertion loss of the distributed-constant-line-type
filter (1). Further, by decreasing the line width
(w2) on the open side to less than the line width (w1) on
the grounded side, an increase in the size of the filter
(10) because the line width (w1) on the grounded side is
increased can be prevented.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne (voir Figure 2) une boîte d'engrenage décalée antidéplacement vers l'arrière (2) destinée aux avions et équipée d'un frein de sûreté intégré antidéplacement vers l'arrière (50), proportionnel à la charge. Les quatre roues, ont toutes un pas diamétral de 16 et sont toutes des roues cylindriques à développante, à engrenage droit et à rainures extérieures, avec des angles de pression normalisés de 20°. Les deux étages de roues sont interconnectés avec un dispositif de sûreté mécanique ou élément de rupture au cisaillement (40) conçu pour se rompre en cas de charges de cisaillement excessives et pour protéger d'un couple excessif les composants situés en aval de l'arbre d'entrée (10), en cas de grippage du système. L'élément de rupture au cisaillement (40) est composé essentiellement d'un axe creux avec, aux deux extrémités, des cannelures extérieures et, à son milieu, une partie de cisaillement à étranglement en forme de sablier. Le frein antidéplacement vers l'arrière (50) est destiné à empêcher que les charges aérodynamiques n'entraînent un mouvement des becs de sécurité en cas de déconnexion d'un tube de torsion. Le système antidéplacement vers l'arrière (voir Figure 3) est composé d'un ensemble de composants à rampe à billes (22) et à disque de friction reliés à l'arbre de sortie de la boîte d'engrenage. Le dispositif à rampe à billes convertit une partie du couple d'entraînement vers l'arrière en force axiale nécessaire pour bloquer les composants de frein empilés (30) et immobiliser l'arbre de sortie. Ainsi, le couple d'entraînement en arrière se produit en fonction de la structure et tout mouvement du bec de sécurité est empêché.

Abstract: An object-oriented video system is implemented as a two layer object model in a software-only video compressor. Quadtree decomposition on an error metric between the input and transmitted images directs the coder towards a foreground layer of active image fragments. A rate buffering system limits the bandwidth by transmitting only the foreground blocks which most improve the image and are above some error threshold. A high fidelity background layer is identified and communicated to the decoder, which can be used to redraw background fragments as foreground objects move across them. Blocks can be coded by various methods, such as fractal transforms or truncated DCTs. The system can be implemented in RISC processors without the need for dedicated hardware. It is suitable for low bit rate applications with slowly varying backgrounds, such as personal video communications over packet networks, or closed circuit TV surveillance.
