Patent EP-1198141-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KALEVO OSSI
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of removing blocking artefacts from a frame of a
digital video signal in a video encoder (10), the video encoder comprising a motion
compensated prediction loop (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) in which a prediction
(P n (x,y)) for a subsequent frame of the digital video signal is formed, the motion
compensated prediction loop comprising encoding (12), decoding (14) and motion
compensated prediction (17, 18, 19) operations. According to the method of the
invention, the frame is encoded by blocks, decoded and stored in a frame memory
(16) for use as a reference frame (R n (x,y)) in motion compensated prediction (17),
a certain number (n) of pixels are selected for filtering from both sides of a block
boundary (30) within the frame and the values of the pixels are corrected by
applying a filtering operation (43) within (33, 34) the motion compensated
prediction loop prior to use of the frame as a reference frame (R n (x,y)) in motion
compensated prediction (17) of a subsequent frame. The invention also relates to
a corresponding method applied in a video decoder (20) and to a video encoder
(10) and a video decoder (20) which apply the respective methods according to
the invention.

Inventor: KOJIMA SUSUMU
IPC: F02D41/38
Filed: 2002-04-11
Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine is
provided which includes a high-pressure pump (7) driven by the engine and
operable with a cycle consisting of an intake stroke and a discharge stroke.
The high-pressure pump includes a valve (16) selectively placed in an open
position to allow the fuel to be introduced into the pump and in a closed
position to allow the fuel to be fed under pressure to a high-pressure portion
located downstream of the high-pressure pump. In the fuel supply system,
commands for closing the valve are generated to the high-pressure pump
during starting of the engine before the cylinders are discriminated from each
other, such that a period of the generated commands is shorter than a half of
the cycle of operation of the high-pressure pump during starting of the engine.
After starting of the engine, a duration of closing of the valve during the
discharge stroke of the pump is controlled so that a regulated amount of the
fuel is fed under pressure to the high-pressure portion.

Abstract: Techniques for use of wireless labels to provide information relating to documents
in a document processing operation are described. A plurality of document processing
trays each have affixed a label for receiving and displaying messages which are received
wirelessly from a central communication interface. The messages provide information
relating to documents to be placed within or contained within the trays. When a group of
documents undergoes initial processing, the group of documents is sorted into a plurality
of sorting locations. Each of the sorting locations has an associated tray and label and the
documents within the sorting location are placed within the tray. Messages relating to the
documents within each tray are transmitted and displayed on the label affixed to the tray.
The messages provide information such as the large group, such as an entry, and sorting
location to which the documents belong and the endpoint of the documents. The message
may also provide information relating to the processing priority of the documents. As
processing continues, new messages are transmitted appropriate to the processing stage of
the documents. If documents are sorted into new sorting locations, new associations
between the trays and the sorting locations are established and the documents are placed in
and associated with trays and labels associated with the new sorting locations.

Abstract: To provide a vacuum pump used for semiconductor manufacturing,
which has improved reliability and safety and in which damages to
a pump casing, peripheral apparatuses, or the like are prevented
from occurring by preventing the occurrence of rotor breakage due
to corrosion. A balancer (20) is provided in the outer circumferential
surface of the rotor so as to face the inside of the gas passageway.
A balancer (20) main body is supported against the outer circumferential
surface of a rotor through a fragile portion that is weak with respect
to corrosive gasses, the fragile portion of the balancer (20) is damaged
by corrosion before any corrosive gas influence appears in rotor
blades or the rotor, and the balancer falls off, thus forcibly causing
an unbalanced state to appear in the rotor. The balancer (20) thus
possesses a function for balancing the rotor and a corrosion detecting
function. The unbalanced state of the rotor is then detected by
a sensor (30), and damages to the vacuum pump itself and to the peripheral
apparatuses can be prevented by stopping the pump.
