Abstract: For an open and flexible system that is robust and cost-effective, it is proposed to use scalable video algorithms (106, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 306, 308, 406, 408). Scalable video algorithms (106, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 306, 308, 406, 408) can dynamically trade resource usage with visual output quality. In such a system both the visual output quality and the resource usage may change at run-time leading to unpredictable behaviour of the system. A novel approach that assists in the predictability of an open and flexible system is proposed. The idea is that by knowing the parameters that influence the output quality and load of some video algorithms (106, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 306, 308, 406, 408), by appropriately measuring them and by providing the necessary information (316, 320, 416, 420, 426, 427) to the system control (321, 421), the system control (321, 421) can react sooner and do the appropriate changes (317, 322, 323, 417, 422, 423), leading to a predictable system.

Abstract: A guide wire includes a first wire (2) disposed on the distal
side, and a second wire (3) disposed on the proximal side and
made from a material having an elastic modulus larger than
that of the first wire. The first wire and the second wire
are joined (14) to each other by welding. The second wire has,
in the vicinity of the welded portion, a small cross-sectional
area portion (32) having a cross-sectional area smaller than that
of a proximal end portion (23) of the first wire. The outer diameter
of the small cross-sectional area portion is gradually reduced
in the direction toward the distal end. The first wire may
be made from a superelastic alloy, whereas the second wire
may be made from a stainless steel. The first wire and the
second wire may be welded to each other by a butt resistance
welding process. Since the change in rigidity of the guide
wire becomes smooth in the longitudinal direction, the
operationality and kink resistance of the guide wire are
improved.

Abstract: In a process for producing an air-quench-toughened glass plate, defective glass plates containing nickel sulphide (NiS) are removed by compulsory breaking the glass plates, such compulsory breakage is carried out in the course of a batch-manner soaking process carried out after a toughening step. Through the method, NiS-free toughened glass plates of high quality can be produced. The method comprises heating a glass plate to around the softening point and air-quenching to generate compressive stress in the surface, then lowering the temperature of the toughened plate to ambient, followed by re-heating a controlled rate to a temperature to cause phase transformation of NiS from the alpha to beta phase.

emulsion layer on the other side. The cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer
comprises a combination of first and second spectral sensitizing dyes that provides
a combined maximum J-aggregate absorption on the cubic silver halide grains of
from 540 to 560 nm. The first spectral sensitizing dye is an anionic
benzimidazole-benzoxazole carbocyanine, the second spectral sensitizing dye is
an anionic oxycarbocyanine. The cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer also
includes a mixture of gelatin or a gelatin derivative and a second hydrophilic
binder other than gelatin or a gelatin derivative at a weight ratio of first to second
hydrophilic binder of from 2:1 to 5: 1. The cubic silver halide grains comprise
from 1 to 20 mol % chloride and from 0.25 to 1.5 mol % iodide, which cubic
silver halide grains have an average ECD of from 0.65 to 0.8 µm. Moreover, the
cubic silver halide grains are doped with a hexacoordination complex compound
within part or all of the innermost 95% of the grains. These films can be exposed
