Abstract: The receiver receives digitally transmitted programs in frames and measures parameters of analogue and/or digital broadcast signals of equivalent programs. If the signal parameters of digital signals are above a first threshold the receiver continues or changes over to receiving a digital program, otherwise it changes to an equivalent analogue program with parameters above a second threshold, otherwise it indicates that no reception is possible. The receiver receives digitally transmitted programs in frames. On receiving programs transmitted in digital or analogue form it measures signal parameters of respective analogue and/or digital broadcast signals of equivalent broadcast programs. If the signal parameters of digital signals remain above a first threshold the receiver continues or changes over to receiving a digitally transmitted program. If the parameter lies below the threshold the receiver changes to an equivalent analogue program with signal parameters above a second threshold. If no signals are above the second threshold the receiver indicates that no reception is possible.

Abstract: A motor cooling and sound absorbing system includes a
housing (10) forming a chamber (13) around a motor (11).
The shaft (12) of the motor (11) carries a fan (40)
positioned in a chamber (38) formed by a recess (36) cut in
a foam block (35). The fan (40) draws air into the chamber
(13) through inlet apertures (33) in the housing (10) and
this air is directed past the motor (11) to cool it. The
air exits the fan (40) generally radially against an angled
surface (37) of the recess (36) of the foam block (35). The
air is then received in a diffuser passageway (41) defined
by the angled surface (37) and an angled surface (42) of a
choke plate (19) positioned above the foam block (35). The
diffuser passageway (41) reduces the velocity of the air to
assist the foam block (35) in absorbing the noise generated
thereby, while at the same time reducing the pressure at the
exit of the fan (40) to increase the cooling air flow past
the motor (11). The air then passes from the diffuser
passageway (41) to a plenum chamber (43) located above the
foam block (35) and out elongate slots (26) formed in the
bottom of the housing (10).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing source and derivative data is disclosed. Source data, typically image data, is centralized in a database and derivative data sets are formed from the source data. When it is desired to modify a derivative data, the source data can be accessed and modified to form a new derivative data set instead of modifying the already derived data set. In this way source data integrity is maintained. Derivative data sets are identified and tags are associated with new derivative images. The tag can be embedded in the derivative data or associated with the image as an attached element. The tag identifies information such as the server that generated the derivative image, the source image and any tasks or transformations that were applied to the source image to generate the derivative data. Users of source data can be given access to a central source data repository and access privileges can be assigned. In this way a number of users can access the source files and globally modify all derivative images by changes in the source file.

Abstract: A matrix reordering method performs reordering of elements of a coefficient
matrix created based on coefficients of linear simultaneous equations whose solutions
are to be produced by parallel processing of processors of a computer in accordance
with Gaussian elimination. Herein, degrees corresponding to numbers of non-zero
elements are calculated with respect to all pivots included in the coefficient matrix.
Then, a first pivot whose degree is under a threshold (mindeg+ α) is selected from
among the pivots of the coefficient matrix, while a second pivot whose critical path
length is minimum is also selected from among the pivots of the coefficient matrix.
Replacement of elements is performed between the first pivot and second pivot to
complete reordering with respect to the first pivot. In addition, non-zero elements,
which are newly produced by the Gaussian elimination of the first pivot, are added to
the coefficient matrix. If a degree or a parameter of the first pivot is under a
threshold (β), reordering is performed on a partial matrix whose elements are not
eliminated and are selected from among the elements of the coefficient matrix in
accordance with the nested dissection method, so that non-zero elements, which are
newly produced by the Gaussian elimination of the partial matrix, are added to the
coefficient matrix. Because the critical path length can be reduced as compared with
conventional techniques, it is possible to considerably reduce a total processing time of
the parallel processing to secure high-speed performance of the Gaussian elimination.
