Abstract: The method involves generating an channel-coded binary signal (15) which consists of n-bit code-words that are associated respectively with m data bits. A bit pattern (16) for the synchronisation is inserted in the binary signal. The circuit for determining the run-length is influenced through change of the bit pattern for the synchronisation or through an additional level-change detection signal. A reduced run-length value is determined in the area of the bit patterns serving for the synchronisation. The synchronisation bit pattern preferably comprises a run-length which is larger than the maximum run-length value for the remaining signal. The bit pattern (17) is then changed before the circuit for the run-length determination, so that the maximum run-length value is equal or smaller than the maximum run-length value in the remaining signal.

Abstract: An improved method of line screen printing. Instead of screening the image with only one set of lines, the image is also screened with a second set of lines, which are substantially orthogonal to those of the first set. The screening is accomplished with two types of cells, horizontal cells and vertical cells. The pixels are classified according to their distance from the nearest line in the horizontal cells. This process is repeated with respect to the vertical cells. Different tone curves, which map input pixel values to output pixel values, are associated with different pixel classifications. In general, pixels closer to lines have tone curves that map to higher output values. Because each pixel is in both a horizontal cell and a vertical cell, each pixel has two values from the tone curves. For each pixel, its two tone curve values are combined to obtain a greyscale value for that pixel.

Abstract: A method for reducing the noise in an speech signal by removing the noise from an input speech signal is disclosed. The noise reducing method includes converting the input speech signal into a frequency spectrum, determining filter characteristics based upon a first value obtained on the basis of the ratio of a level of the frequency spectrum to an estimated level of the noise spectrum contained in the frequency spectrum and a second value as found from the maximum value of the ratio of the frame-based signal level of the frequency spectrum to the estimated noise level and the estimated noise level, and reducing the noise in the input speech signal by filtering responsive to the filter characteristics. A corresponding apparatus for reducing the noise is also disclosed.

Abstract: To provide a resistance welding or laser beam processing control apparatus which greatly facilitates input work of inputting (setting) welding or processing conditions for a number of schedules: Using programming unit 10, an operator calls a schedule screen on the unit and inputs a desired value (data) of each welding condition item for any one of the welding schedules, for example schedule No. "01." Then the programming unit 10 and a main control 50 each writes the input data (setup data) into RAM 84 or 62 at each storage location in a storage area A1 allocated to the schedule No. "01." Next, the operator calls a copy setup data screen on the programming unit 10, selects the welding schedule No. "01" as source, selects all the other welding schedule No. "02" to No. "15" as destination and requests copy setup data. Then the programming unit 10 and the main control 50, each executes data transfer within memory, so that within RAM 84. 62 whole setup data of welding conditions for the source schedule No. "01" have been copied as whole setup data of welding conditions for the destination schedule No. "02" to "15".

Abstract: A method of growing doped semiconductor layers with controllable doping profiles is disclosed, whereby, segregation effects position the dopant atoms throughout the semiconductor material as it is grown. This method deposits an amount of dopant material, related to the thickness of the layer to be grown, on the substrate prior to material growth. During the crystal growth process, segregation effects position the dopant material throughout the semiconductor layer. The material growth temperature contributes to the movement of dopant atoms within the layer of material grown.

Abstract: In a network, a media coordination system (2) provides secure multimedia communication channels in a collaborative network environment. The media coordination system provides automatic encryption, dynamic interconnection of streams of data, and user interface elements that provide users with control over the ultimate destination of their audio and video data. The infrastructure of the system (2) includes a plurality of client workstations (4) that are connected to a central server (22) using point-to-point network connections. The central server (22) maintains a persistent virtual world of network places with objects located therein. Streams of audio and video data are coordinated between client workstations (4) operating in the persistent virtual world by a key manager object using channels, transmitters, and receivers. The client workstations (4) multicast their audio and video data over the network to defined recipients after receiving a multicast address and an encryption key for a specific multicast channel. In order to protect the privacy of all communications and the integrity of the coordination system (2), each client workstation (4) retains significant control over distribution and reception of audio and video data since multicast transmission is tied to specific user interface elements. The multimedia user interface elements include cameras (18), speakers (16), microphones (20), and video panes (12). Since the central server (22) only coordinates where audio and video data is broadcast for a particular interface element, each client workstation (4) ultimately controls the destination of multimedia data through selection of the element at the user interface.

Next, the based time is compared with the start time. If the based time is bigger than the start time, the start time of the debugging process in the game must be set again. In the game apparatus and the method of the present invention, therefore, the time in the game program is not inconsistency with a contents of a game history. The game program can be debugged correctly. Further, in developing a game program, a game program debug dose not waste working-time and working-load of a developer.

Abstract: A crashworthy seat suitable for a helicopter, comprises a frame (16) adapted to be secured to the aircraft and supporting a sitting platform (12, 14), having a back (14). The frame has upright members (24) supporting the back of the sitting platform for vertical sliding movement under controlled resistance provided by an energy absorbing mechanism. The energy absorbing mechanism comprises an elongate rib (34) extending along the inner side of each upright member and cooperating cutting or deforming tools carried by the seat back at the sides of the seat back adjoining the upright members and which are incorporated in guides (36) which serve to guide the seat for vertical sliding movement. In the event of a crash in which vertical downward movement of the aircraft is arrested suddenly by impact with the ground, the seat and its occupant are allowed to decelerate more gently by downward sliding movement of the seat relative to the frame whilst the kinetic energy of the seat and occupant is absorbed by paring or deformation of ribs (34) by the cutting or deforming tools.

second radiator disc (66B) or annular ring (66B') is a parasitic
radiator without feeding probes. Depending on the feed
arrangement, the radiator elements can achieve single-linear
polarization, dual-linear polarization or circular polarization.
