Abstract: A package (10) for sliced food (22) product comprising a bottom wall (14), a top wall (12), opposite sidewalls (16) and opposite end walls (18), wherein the package includes a flap (30) which comprises portions of the top wall and/or an adjoining sidewall of the package, and which is movable between a closed position and an open position to selectively facilitate access to the package interior. The package is preferably made of a thin, flexible plastic material. The flap is removably retained in closed position by a peelable seal extending along one or more edges of the flap, or at least along portions thereof. The package is configured so that when the flap is in open position, the sliced food product is accessible from the side, which facilitates engagement of slice edges and subsequent separation thereof, as well as removal of the slices without undue distortion. This makes the package particularly useful in conjunction with packaging of certain sliced cheeses, although the package may also be useful with other products as well.

Abstract: The problems associated with slow timing recovery in an ATM receiver (200) are overcome by detecting (in 201) the transmission rate of a received bit stream and periodically detecting the transmitted Enc_CR values, which are used to calculate additional estimated clock reference (Est_CR) values between the actual transmitted Enc_CR values. The Est_CR values are then used along with the actually received Enc_CR values to generate a phase locked loop (PLL) error signal (TC_ERROR), wherein the PLL(208,210) is caused to converge more rapidly. In one embodiment, the TC_ERROR values are generated for each received cell or packet instead of only for each received Enc_CR value and, consequently, timing recovery is significantly speeded up. Additionally, the Est_CR values can be adjusted to minimize the effects of lost cells, as well as, drift in the transmission rate.

Abstract: In a scaling control device of an image processing apparatus, original image data stored in a storage section are enlarged  n  times by a scaling section, data are interpolated to the enlarged image data by an interpolating section, and the resulting image data are compressed to 1/ n  by a compressing section. The processed image data are stored in a storage section within a storage region where the original image data were stored under the control of a storage control section. An expanding section retrieves the processed image data from the storage section and expands the same to an initially specified enlarged-scaling magnification for an output image. As a result, it has become possible to minimize an increase of a capacity of the storage section in response to an increase in image data, and thus, the resulting apparatus becomes less expensive.

Abstract: A card reader 9 is loaded with a card which saves units of call credit. The card is capable of holding the telephone number of desired party registered by means of a controller circuit 16. For making a call, the telephone number is read out from the card and used in a dialing circuit 3 for automatic dialing. During the call, the call credit units are counted down according to a charge list for the party. Also, a language used for display on a liquid crystal display 8 and an amplitude of volume adjusted in the call may be registered in the card. When the call credit units are less than a reference level, a message of demanding the loading of a new card appears on the display 8. As the new card is loaded in place of the current card, the call can be continued without interruption. At the time, relevant data including the telephone number of party to be called and the displayed language are automatically transferred from the current card to the new card. Accordingly, the automatic dialing is implemented for calling and communicating with a desired party without the use of an extra facility at a local station.

Abstract: A visual information processing method in a visual information processing apparatus for acquiring and processing visual information includes the steps of successively changing the amount of visual information entered with regard to a desired target position in space, reading image data at each position at which an image is formed and storing the image data in correspondence with the target position in space. The amount of visual information is successively changed by changing the image-forming position corresponding to the target position in space by moving of the optic axis of a wide-angle lens. The visual information is successively altered by zooming or by filtering which relies upon a two-dimensional filter. There are a plurality of target positions in space, visual information at each image-forming position is read out in correspondence with each target position in space, and the information is stored in correspondence with each target position in space. The stored image is displayed at a high resolution without distortion.

Abstract: Les modules d'imprimante uniques faisant appel aux techniques d'impression par gouttes à la demande peuvent être fabriqués avec de grandes qualités de fiabilité. Toutefois, si l'on utilise un grand nombre de modules d'impression à la manière d'une chaîne d'assemblage, la défaillance d'un seul module peut entraîner l'arrêt de toute la 'chaîne d'assemblage' pendant la durée des réparations. Cette invention propose un procédé permettant de réduire le temps d'immobilisation de la chaîne d'impression à environ une seconde. Ce procédé consiste à introduire au moins un module d'impression de secours et à transférer les représentations numériques d'images de pages entre les modules. Dès que la défaillance est détectée, les données de l'image numérique décrivant la feuille imprimée par le module défaillant sont transférées au module d'impression adjacent situé en aval du module défectueux. Les données se trouvant dans ce dernier module sont envoyées simultanément au module se trouvant immédiatement en aval. Ce processus se répète jusqu'à ce qu'une image de page soit envoyée au module d'impression de secours, lequel se situe dans le meilleur des cas en aval de tous les modules d'impression. Une fois que toutes les données ont été transférées, l'impression peut reprendre. Si ce transfert des données peut se faire en moins de temps qu'il n'en faut pour imprimer une feuille, la chaîne peut continuer à imprimer sans s'arrêter, n'entraînant ainsi aucun gaspillage de copies imprimées. Si l'on introduit plus d'un module d'impression de secours à la fin de la 'chaîne d'assemblage' d'impression, il est alors possible de faire face à plus d'une défaillance simultanée sans aucune perte de productivité.

Abstract: Audiovisual programs are transmitted over a low-bandwidth network in
a compressed form in which the number of video frames has been reduced by
selecting "significant" frames. The user sees a series of still images accompanying
an apparently full audio channel. If a particular frame is advertising, then the user is
identified, and depending on the user's demographic or psychographic profile, an
advertisement different from the one originally included in the program may be
transmitted. Alternatively, if the user has paid not to receive advertising, the system
may skip any advertising that it encounters. However, certain advertisements may
be flagged in such a way that they cannot be omitted and that other advertisements
cannot be transmitted in their places.
