Abstract: Systems and methods for providing enhanced navigation of stored digital video content based upon an event index. Includes generation and storage of an event index, as well as navigation based on events in the event index. An example system is embodied in a digital video recorder that detects and stores black field and silent frame events for use in locating commercial groups. The commercial groups may be skipped or otherwise navigated based upon data pointers linking the stored events to corresponding locations in the video data file.

IPC: G01N23/083

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layered radiation converter, a radiation detector comprising such a converter as well as a radiation-based imaging system using such a detector. Each converter layer (32) in the radiation converter is adapted for interaction with incident radiation to cause the emission of electrons into drift holes defined in the converter layer. The drift holes of one converter layer (32-1) are staggered with respect to the drift holes of another converter layer (32-2). By mutually shifting the converter layers such that the drift holes of two different layers are no longer well-aligned, but rather staggered with respect to each other, the effective conversion area will be increased, and the probability of incoming radiation passing through the stack without interaction with the converter layers will be significantly reduced. In this way, high absorption efficiency for incident radiation inside the multi-layered converter structure is ensured, while still maintaining transparency for emitted electrons through the drift holes.

Abstract: In a traveling transmission in which an auxiliary transmission is interposed between a main clutch and a mechanical transmission, the auxiliary transmission is configured such that power transmission is cut out interlockingly with the disengagement operation of the main clutch. For example, the auxiliary transmission is configured as a high-low speed selector device including a hydraulic-operated first hydraulic clutch and a spring-operated second hydraulic clutch. Preferably, there should be provided a controller for changing the position of a direction switching valve for the first and second hydraulic clutches based on the operation of an operating member such as a pedal for disengaging the main clutch. According to the present invention, it is possible to shorten a time required for a speed change operation by the mechanical transmission and, also, to achieve a smooth operation by the mechanical transmission.
