Abstract: The invention relates to fixed or sequenced image processing and more particularly
to a method and to the equipment for coding and decoding a digital image through
vector quantization based upon fractal concepts. 
     Through the invented method it is possible to reconstruct the original image
without any iteration. This is feasible since the coding does not start from any
image but from one known to the decoder and hence having a shorter distance
from the original image than any other image.

Abstract: Spectral broadening over a large range
using PM (Phase Modulation) is achieved by a lightwave
source without the need for a large phase modulation index and without expending a
large amount of modulator RF drive power. In this lightwave source, a laser output
signal is externally phase modulated by one or more modulation signals. The phase
modulation employs one or more frequency drive signals (i.e., the modulation signals)
each of whose amplitude is judiciously selected to produce an output spectrum having
substantially equal spectral components over a predetermined range of frequencies. The
predetermined frequency range is centered about the source frequency for the laser and
resembles a comb. Each frequency drive signal is also selected to have a frequency (or
frequency spacing from other drive signals) so that adjacent spectral components in the
output spectrum of the modulated signal are produced with a frequency spacing which
exceeds the SBS (Stimulated Brillouin Scattering)
interaction bandwidth at the transmission wavelength of interest.

Abstract: A recording medium which realizes high sound
quality and is playable on a conventional playback device
has a recording layer provided with a double-layered
structure having at least a first layer L1 and a second
layer L2, an audio data program is recorded on the first
layer in the first data format, which is the conventional

second layer are the same program and can be produced
using 1-bit ΔΣ modulation having a high sampling rate as
the new format, the ΔΣ modulated signal being passed
through successive decimation filters to form the lower
sampling rate signal of the conventional format. The
double-layered disk can be played back using a disk
judging unit that detects the disk's table of contents and
controls a laser beam focus of a pick up, an operating
clock frequency, and the decoder for reading out the data
recorded in pits formed on the disk.

(M) sent out from the microwave transmitter (11) being guided
by the guide member (15) to the microwave receiver (12),
wherein the guide member (15) is attached to a container (1)

detected gets into the guide member (15) from the introducing
hole (23) of the guide member (15) and intercepts the
transmission of microwaves (M). The microwave receiver (12)
detects this interruption of microwaves. Therefore, it is
determined that the body to be detected has reached a
predetermined level. Besides, when the body to be detected
comes into contact with the guide body (219), an amount of
transmission of microwaves (M) transmitted in the guide body
(219) is changed. When an amount of change in the
transmission of microwaves (M) is detected, a storage level
of the body to be detected is determined.

gel which can be subsequently added to the inner cavity
of the outer shell.

Abstract: Two detectors (26) are effectively positioned at a predetermined
lateral position in a rectangular illumination field at a wafer
plane (22). The ratio of the signals from the two detectors is
calculated. This ratio is indicative of the quality of the
illumination field and any lamp instability which may effect the
illumination field, and therefore image quality. In a
photolithographic device, a short arc mercury xenon lamp (12) provides
illumination for projecting the image of a reticle (16) onto a
photosensitive resist covered substrate or wafer (22). The desired
illumination intensity profile is sensitive to lamp instability.
This instability may alter the desired illumination intensity
profile which may adversely effect image quality, and therefore
the resulting product. The ratio of the signals received from
predetermined locations laterally along the illumination
intensity profile improves the detection of unstable lamps.
The detectors are positioned at locations of relatively steep
slope in the illumination intensity profile thereby increases
sensitivity.

Abstract: A multipoint-conference connection system
constructed by interconnecting a number of multipoint-conference
control units each including a large number
of conference-participating terminals, which can
conduct the conference by using the multipoint-conference
control unit with a lightened distributed
load, thus eliminating the need for a top-level
information control unit provided with a large capacity
database enough to conduct centralized control of a
whole system. Multipoint-conference connection units
(MCU) (1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 111, 21, 22, 31, 32) are
distributed to part-sets which are represented by sets
1, 2 and 3 respectively. The representative MCUs (1, 2,
3) conduct management of information within respective
part-sets and, if necessary, send an information
accessing request to other representative MCUs (1, 2,
3) of respective part-sets. In each part-set, the
component MCUs are hierarchically connected with one
another by respective hierarchical connection lines
(A11, A12, ....). The part-sets are connected with one
another by using respective peer-connection lines (1A2,
1A3, 2A3). This realizes easy management of information
within each part-set and a simplified communication
procedure for a whole conference domain. Furthermore, 
request signals and response signals are transferred
upwards and downwards over hierarchical connection
lines within the respective part-sets and exchanged
between the part-sets over a peer-connection line. This
allows the system to maintain the consistency and
unification of information through the conference and
have the interchangeability with existing prior art
hierarchical connection systems.
