Abstract: The object is to provide a track-following method, in particular for a digital recording, which does not require any recording of different ATF signals and needs little circuitry. The time which elapses in the intervals between data is filled with a predetermined sequence of cyclical changes in the digital sum. A number of cycles in this case forms a symmetrical oscillation train, and the change in the sum is controlled synchronously by the clock pulse by which the user data are also timed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an attractively designed and space-saving container for hinged compact-disc cases, which simplifies and facilitates the opening of the hinged cases received by it. In this arrangement, the cover part is held by a holding device located on the holding frame, but the grasped hinge case is left free at least on its entire underside and on the upper side in an area close to the edge to be opened, so that the holding frames can assume a position with respect to the holder in which the space underneath the hinged case is free over a height of at least a few cm. The projections of the holding device, whose bearing surface is approximately horizontal and whose contact surfaces are bevelled or rounded, engage in openings of the cover part. The holding frame has side legs extending along the sides of the hinged case and consisting of flexible material, which legs may be pivotable, are adjustable with respect to one another and are pressed by means of a spring into a position of rest. Introduction of the hinged cases is possible from below upwards, since the side legs can also be tilted. Similarly, the pivoting for at least 90 DEG allows the bottom part of the introduced hinged case to be opened up downwards. The said bottom part is caught by a spring platelet which is fastened on the underside of the holding frame. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An adaptive scan format converter (14,Fig.1) at a transmitter/encoder of a video signal processing system such as a high definition television (HDTV) system, as a function of what format is desired for coding and transmission via an output channel. Similarly, at a receiver, a received scan format is automatically converted (36,Fig.1) to a desired format for display as needed. For example, a received interlaced signal (I) will be automatically converted to progressive (P) format to be compatible with a progressive scan display device (39). A received progressive signal will be passed to the display device without format conversion. Automatic scan conversion is performed seamlessly so that, for example, the conversion between progressive main television program material and interlaced commercial material is produced without artifacts and is essentially invisible to a viewer.

Abstract: A satellite communication system has at least one satellite (1) with an antenna that generates a moving beam pattern on the surface of the earth. The beam pattern (3) is comprises a plurality of sub-beams (4). A method of this invention determines an attitude correction signal for the satellite by the steps of providing at least one reference transmitter (10) at a known location on the surface of the earth transmitting at least one signal from the at least one reference transmitter into at least one of the subbeams receiving the at least one signal with the satellite antenna and transponding the received at least one signal to a ground station (8). Next, the transponded at least one signal is received by the ground station which determines a gain of the received at least one signal, compares the determined gain to a gain expected to be received based on a predetermined knowledge of a spatial variation in gain of the satellite antenna and determines a difference between the determined gain and the expected gain to derive a correction signal indicative of an attitude error of the satellite. The correction signal is then transmitted to the satellite and the attitude of the satellite is corrected in accordance with the correction signal. For the case where the correction signal has a value that is a function of yaw error angle of the satellite, the method further includes the steps of transmitting the correction signal to the satellite and correcting the attitude of the satellite in accordance with the correction signal by rotating the satellite about the yaw axis so as to reduce a magnitude of the yaw error angle.

Abstract: An addressing structure and method uses an ionizable gaseous mixture including at least two ionizable components that provide the gaseous mixture with a decreased decay time to address data storage elements (16) defined by the overlapping areas of multiple column electrodes (18) on a first substrate (48) and multiple channels (20) on a second substrate (54). Each of the channels contains the ionizable gaseous mixture and includes a reference potential electrode that receives a data signal and a row electrode that receives a data strobe signal. The ionizable gaseous mixture contains first and second ionizable components having particles which are ionizable at a predetermined voltage that does not cause uncontrolled breakdown between the conductors that produce the interruptible electrical connection. The particles of the first ionizable component of the gaseous mixture are characterized by their returning from the ionized state to the nonionized state without undergoing a metastable state of greater duration than a transient metastable state. The particles of the second ionizable component are characterized by undergoing a metastable state when returning from the ionized state to the nonionized state. A sufficient quantity of the particles of the first ionizable component is present in the gaseous mixture to reduce the occurrences of secondary ionization-producing collisions between ionized particles and electrons when the gaseous medium returns from the ionized state to the nonionized state, thereby decreasing the time required to return the ionizable gaseous medium from the ionized state to the nonionized state. The decreased decay time of the ionizable gaseous mixture provides an addressing structure having high-speed addressing capabilities.
