Abstract: A real-time method for improving data compression. The correlation between data characters being provided a modem (10) is determined. Two measures are used to determine the correlation between data characters: the shape of tree(s) (6) in encoding table (16) and the compression ratio (96). Once the correlation between data characters is determined using the two measures, the size of the encoding table (16) can be changed. If the data characters are not correlated, meaning the data is random or pseudo-random, the size of the encoding table is decreased. If the data characters are highly correlated, changing the size of the encoding table reduces time spent attempting to compress incompressible data and increases data compression for compressible data.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing an intelligent cruise control using standard engine control modes includes a distance sensor (58) to determine the distance and closing rate relative to a forward vehicle and use this information to implement a distance control mode and a speed control mode. The distance control mode maintains a selectable headway range relative to a forward vehicle and may include accelerating the vehicle or decelerating the vehicle by defueling, engaging an engine brake (retarder), or downshifting the transmission (T) when engine speed permits. The speed control mode maintains a selectable cruising speed if no target vehicle is detected. This cruising speed set point also functions as an upper limit while in the distance control mode. The system and method effect the intelligent cruise control functions utilizing control logic (72) external to the electronic engine control module (40) utilizing the engine speed control mode or engine speed and torque limiting control mode of SAE J1922 or SAE J1939 standards. Alternatively, a cruise control limit speed may be broadcast via SAE J1587 to reduce the vehicle speed upon approaching a forward vehicle so as to reduce the need for driver intervention. The invention may periodically switch between engine control modes to avoid any control mode timeout imposed by some engine manufacturers.

Abstract: First and second images (S1, S2) are separated into luminance and chrominance components to generate a first signal (Y5), in which the luminance components of the two images are sequentially located in the 1H period and a second signal (C5) in which the chrominance components of the two images are located in the same. The second signal is delayed by (1/2)H period. The first signal and the delayed second signal are used to generate a third signal (S10) in which the luminance and chrominance components of the first image are sequentially located in the 1H period and a fourth signal (S12) in which the luminance and chrominance components of the second image are located in the same. The third and fourth signals are vertically expanded with arbitrary expansion ratios. Then, the expanded signals are synthesized to generate a fifth signal (S14) in which the luminance components of the first and second images are sequentially located in the 1H period and a sixth signal (S15) in which the chrominance components of the first and second images are located in the same. The fifth signal is delayed by (1/2)H period. The sixth signal and the delayed fifth signal are interpolated to make uniform the intervals among the scanning lines.

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus which can process video signals with different formats simply by switching between programs for processing video signals. Different system clock signals are sent to the input and output processes by employing a programmable signal processor 4, input synchronizing signal processor 8, programmable signal processor 6 and output synchronizing pulse processor 9. A method for processing the video signal can be flexibly changed simply by switching between signal processing programs for programmable signal processors. In addition, the use of a memory 5 enables the signal, which is processed using the system clock signal in the input process, to be processed using the system clock signal in the output process. The present invention thus allows the processing of video signals with many different signal formats. The design of efficient circuitry will greatly reduce costs and production processes.
