Abstract: An apparatus for selecting a reference line for image data compression including a plurality of mutually connected reference selector chips for select­ing a reference scan line from vertical mode coding of image data. The reference selector chips select a ref­erence scan line from a plurality of preceding scan lines in exclusive or combination of the image data of each candidate reference scan line with the image data from the input scan line. The candidate reference scan line that has the lowest number of dissimilar bits is selected as the reference scan line. Each candidate reference scan line has associated therewith a register having bit positions arranged from the highest order bit position to a lowest order bit position for storing a binary sum of the number of dissimilar bits. When the sums are compared, the binary value and successive bit positions are compared from the highest order bit position to the lowest order bit position. When the binary value for a compared bit position of a register is greater than the binary value in the corresponding bit position of another register, each reference selec­tor chip generates a losing signal for indicating that the register lost the arbitration. When the lowest order bit position of a register is not greater than the lowest order bit position of any other register and no losing signal was generated for that register, the associated chip generates a winning signal for indicat­ing which candidate reference scan line had the least number of bits dissimilar to the corresponding bits in the input scan line. Each chip further includes a cir­cuit for establishing a priority among the candidate reference scan lines so that two registers both having the smallest binary sum will not create a deadlock.

Abstract: A data processing network in which a plurality of workstations such as personal computers (PC) (12) are connected to a host processor (11) and contain PC programs at particular levels for controlling tasks on the personal computers. The personal computers send a signal to the host when they are about to conduct a task indicating which data files they have and at what level. The host has an object library containing a copy of each disk file for each version of PC program. The host determines if the personal computer has the latest level data file for the version of program at that personal computer and, if it does not, sends a copy of the latest level data file to the personal computer to replace the down-level data file. 
     Preferably the host checks if the personal computer has all the data files it needs for the particular task and, if it does not and if it should because of the version of PC program stored at the PC, the host can load a copy of the missing file to the personal computer. 
     The host does not have to contain a record of all the levels of all the programs of all the personal computers connected to it. However by updating the object library in the host this arrangement ensures that all personal computers connected to it are automatically brought to the latest authorised level as data files are required by the personal computer.

Abstract: In the circuit arrangement described, it is assumed that rectangular switching pulses of the same height (UST) are applied to the control input of the switching transistor (T). This prerequisite is met, for example, in switching transistors for direct-voltage transformers. …<??>To protect the switching transistor (T) against overload with an equally dimensioned coil (PW) for the largest possible number of applications, this coil (PW) is placed in the branch which belongs both to the control circuit and to the load circuit of the switching transistor (T). …<??>For simultaneously monitoring the operating current (I) in a direct-voltage transformer (UB, UA), the coil (PW) is the primary coil of a current transformer (STW), in the secondary circuit of which are located, among others, the series circuit of a saturable reactor (DR) and of a load resistor (RB2). The dimensioning of all components (RB1, DR, RB2, SW) in the secondary circuit of the current transformer (STW) can be selected in such a manner that the voltage drop across the load resistor (RB2) is a measure of the current intensity (I) through the switching transistor (T). If this voltage drop exceeds a threshold, the switching transistor (T) is turned off by a pulse-width modulator (PWM) until the next switching pulse occurs. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A method of extruding clay and then treating the clay with acid to beneficiate the clay for increased capacity of filtration of oil-soluble colorant compounds from oil. The clay is first extruded through one or more die openings to align some of the clay platelets and to form the clay into cylindrical pellets. The extruded clay pellets are then acid treated, either before or after grinding, in an aqueous acid solution to form an acid slurry of the clay. The acid slurry of the clay is agitated for a sufficient time and temperature so that the acid reacts with a portion of the clay. Thereafter, the acid treated clay is separated from the acid solution; the clay is then washed to remove most of the acid solution from the clay, filtered and dried.
