Abstract: Data is split into large blocks and small blocks, the latter being orthorgonally transformed in an orthogonal transform device. The dynamic range of the ac values of each small block is detected after orthogonal transformation and according to the result of this calculation the blocks are classified into one of a number of classes. The amount of data associated with all the small blocks in a large block is calculated and a quantizer for each of the classes is chosen to be used for all the small blocks in a large block. The small blocks are then quantised using the chosen quantisation schemes and then run-length encoded.

Abstract: An inductive transducer system for use in high accuracy applications such as linear or rotary encoders, employs two members movable relative to each other. A first, active member induces eddy currents in a second, passive member that lacks a power source or electrical wires connected thereto. The first, active member contains both a transmitter for generating a magnetic field and a receiver for receiving the field. The receiver has a plurality of symmetric loops. Electronic circuitry coupled to the receiver evaluates the relative position between the two members as the passive member disrupts the magnetic field received by the receiver. The inductive transducer can be readily manufactured using known printed circuit board technology, and is substantially immune to contamination by particles, including ferromagnetic particles, oil, water and other fluids. A pulse-driven drive circuit allows the inductive transducer to consume little power, and thus allows the transducer to be readily incorporated into hand-held, battery-powered measurement tools.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for locating faults in a paired line. The fault locating device has a base unit and a terminator unit connectable to the conductors of a paired line containing the fault. The device also has a portable locator unit movable along the paired line between the base unit and the terminator unit. The locator unit contains a coil positioned at the paired line for coupling an induced signal thereon. The base unit and terminator unit each contain circuits for receiving the induced signal from the locator unit and measuring a selected characteristic of the induced signal. The base unit additionally has a circuit for creating a base carrier signal having the selected characteristic measured at the base unit and terminator unit encoded thereon. In operation, the base unit sends the encoded base carrier signal to the locator unit which decodes and continuously communicates values of the induced signal characteristic to the operator by means of an audible or visual indicator. The operator incrementally repositions the locator unit away from the base unit and toward the terminator unit as operation of the device proceeds. When the locator unit approaches the fault, the intensity and frequency of the indicator remains relatively stable except for some variation due to conductor twist and relative coil position. When the locator unit passes the fault, however, such that the fault is between the locator unit and the base unit, the intensity or frequency of the indicator abruptly drops, thereby establishing the precise location of the fault.

Abstract: A vector representative of a point in an animated image is generated by a quantification process carried out on a mesh in a space of n dimensions. The vector contains the values taken by an input signal (E) at the sampling point. The coding method consists in allocating to each vector a code (CN) representative of its magnitude, a second code CT, which identifies the type of vector, and a code CI (N,T) which identifies the vector relative to other vectors of same magnitude and type. The magnitude code CN is generated using a Huffman code calculated using the magnitude statistics. The type code is generated from the statistics of all the vectors and a Huffman code. The individual code CI(N,T) is generated assuming that all the vectors of same type have an equal probability.

Abstract: A computer system includes multiple processing nodes,
each of which is divided into subnodes. Transactions from a
particular subnode are performed in the order presented by
that subnode. Therefore, when a first transaction from the
subnode is delayed to allow performance of coherency
activity with other processing nodes, subsequent
transactions from that subnode are delayed as well.
Additionally, coherency activity for the subsequent
transactions may be initiated in accordance with a prefetch
-method assigned to the subsequent transactions. In this
manner, the delay associated with the ordering constraints
of the system may be concurrently experienced with the delay
associated with any coherency activity which may need to be
performed in response to the subsequent transactions. In
order to respect the ordering constraints imposed by the
computer system, a system interface within the processing
nodes employs an early completion policy for prefetch
operations. If prefetch coherency activity for a
transaction completes prior to coherency activity for
another transaction from the same subnode, the early
completion policy assigned to that transaction is enacted.
In a drop policy, the data corresponding to the transaction
is discarded. A write policy is also defined in which data
received in response to the prefetch coherency activity is
stored in the local memory. Lastly, a clear policy may be
enforced in which the coherency activity is indicated to be
complete.

Abstract: A method for measuring ash content of food stuff is carried
out by 1) preparing, with respect to food stuff samples
whose ash content values are known, a calibration curve by
a non-linear analysis of absorbance values and the known
ash content of each sample, the absorbance values being
obtained by irradiating light having particular wavelengths
containing at least an ultraviolet ray band wavelength, the
particular wavelength being specific to organic ingredients
well coupled to inorganic ingredients which result in the
ash content, and 2) deriving, with respect to a sample
whose ash content value is unknown, an ash content value of
the sample from absorbance values obtained by irradiating,
on the sample, light having the particular wavelengths
containing at least the ultraviolet ray band wavelength and
from the calibration curve prepared in advance by the non-linear
analysis. An apparatus for carrying out the method
includes a light source section (81), a photo detecting
section (88), a storing section (76) for storing the calibration
curve, and a calculation section (77) for calculating,
with respect to a sample whose ash content value is
unknown, the ash content value based on the absorbance
values and the calibration curve stored in the storing
section. It is possible to speed up the measuring operation
and to improve the measuring precision.

Abstract: An array of DCT transform coefficients are converted to a two-dimensional array
of spatial data in a video compression or decompression system. The array of DCT
transform coefficients are divided into two groups. A regional IDCT algorithm is applied
to all coefficients, both non-zero and zero, of the first group, while IDCT computation is
applied to only non-zero coefficients of the second group. The results of the operations
are then combined and/or mapped to form the output array of spatial data. In one specific
implementation wherein an 8 X 8 array of DCT coefficients are to be transformed, the
first region is defined by the first quadrant of coefficients in the 8 X 8 array. A regional
IDCT algorithm is applied to both zero and non-zero coefficients in the first quadrant.
The non-zero coefficients in the remaining three quadrants are calculated directly, and the
results of the direct calculations are combined with the results of the regional IDCT
algorithm applied to the first quadrant coefficients. The resulting values are then mapped
to the output matrix. The regional IDCT algorithm may be carried out by grouping the
coefficients in the first quadrant into four groups (i.e., even-row-even-column, even-row-odd-column,
odd-row-even-column and odd-row-odd-column) according to the parities of
the row and column indices of the coefficients. From these groupings, predetermined
even and odd IDCT operators are applied row-wise and column-wise to derive an even-even
IDCT component class, and odd-even IDCT component class, and even-odd IDCT
component class, and an odd-odd IDCT component class. The result of the direct IDCT
calculation performed upon each of the non-zero coefficients in the remaining quadrants
is then added to the corresponding component class. After adding the result of each
direct IDCT calculation to the IDCT component classes obtained from the first quadrant
coefficients, the resulting IDCT component classes are combined to form the output
matrix.
