Abstract: A request for inputting of, for example, a character string of a retrieval item is issued to an operator by an input request section of an item processing section via a pattern/character editing section and a display operating section and a request for specification of a to-be-retrieved pattern is issued to the operator by a specification request section of a pattern specifying section. A retrieval processing section retrieves a data base fvr the retrieval item obtained in the item processing section and the to-be-retrieved pattern obtained in the pattern specifying section. The retrieval result of the data base by the retrieval processing section is converted into a character string corresponding to data derived as the retrieval result by a character creation section of a writing processing section, arranged in position corresponding to an input retrieval item in the drawing by a character arranging section of the writing processing section, and written into the drawing data.

Abstract: A plural cavity structure (10), suitable for use as a microwave filter (34, 34A, 34B), has plural cavities  (24,  26,  28,  30)  disposed  within  a cylindrical aluminum housing  (12)  and having a central planar transverse wall (18)  including an iris  (38)  for coupling of electromagnetic power between two successive ones of the cavities (28, 26),  the transverse planar wall being centrally located in the case of the four-cavity structure. Additional transverse walls (14,  16, 20, 22) are constructed as discs and serve as end walls of the cavities and,  in the case of the inboard discs, the discs are provided with apertures (36, 40) to serve   as   coupling   irises   for   coupling electromagnetic power between the cavities which serve  as  resonant  chambers  of  the microwave filter.    The  transverse  walls  are  bowed,  and peripheral regions of the walls are clamped by metallic rings (66, 68, 70, 72) differing in their coefficients  of  thermal  expansion.    Thus,  the rings  (68,  70)  of the inboard transverse walls (16,   20)   are  formed  of  titanium  having  a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, while  the  rings   (66,   72)   of  the  outboard transverse walls  (14,  22)  are  formed  of  invar having a relatively  low coefficient of thermal expansion.     As  a  result  of  the  differing coefficients  of  thermal  expansion,  the  outer transverse walls  experience  greater  deformation than do the inner transverse walls with changes in environmental  temperature  resulting  in  a  net decrease  in  axial  length  of  both  inboard  and outboard   cavities   upon   an   increase   in environmental temperature.

Abstract: This invention relates to a coding system and the coding method in encoding information source symbols of an image. When the total number of original information source symbols cannot be known at the decoding site just from the encoded symbols, it is an object to finish the decoding process correctly and decode the symbols equal to the number of original information source symbols.     Accordingly, the coding system of the present invention includes an encoder for encoding information source symbols and a decoder for decoding information source symbols, wherein a total number of the information source symbols for encoding and decoding is not known before coding begins. The encoder of the present invention provides a notify unit for transmitting the number of information source units counted by an encoder information source unit memory to the decoder after encoding has started. The decoder of the present invention includes a decode terminator to receive the number of information source units counted by the notify unit for comparing the number of information source units counted by the decoder and the number of information source units notified by the notify unit and terminating the decoding according to a result of the comparison.

Abstract: A method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data in a display with a fixed number of pixels is provided. Measurement data is provided at a predetermined fixed sample rate independent of a pixel rate which is equal to or less than the sample rate. The measurement data is converted to pixel data which includes the minimum, maximum, and the average of the measurement data gathered and the pixel data is plotted to the pixels at a pixel rate. At the end of the fixed number of pixels of the display, the pixel values are compressed to half the fixed number of pixels and the pixel rate is halved, thereby doubling the time scale. This process can continue indefinitely, requiring no operator intervention or prior knowledge to set a total measurement time. Furthermore, the sample rate is independent of the pixel rate so that a tradeoff of sample rate and total measurement time need not be made.
