Inventor: SAKAMOTO YOICHI
IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 2002-12-04
Abstract: This invention has as its object to efficiently encode an image. To this end, for example, an image undergoes a color reduction process using a dither matrix with a predetermined size (S8). A print control command is output (S9). A compression parameter designation command that designates an up copy vertical offset value (a value according to the matrix size), a near left copy horizontal offset value (a value according to the matrix size), and a far left copy horizontal offset value (a value according to the period of background patterns), which are used in encoding, is output (S10). Image data is encoded according to an encoding sequence (S11).

Abstract: The cable has an at least two-layer basic structure twisted about the longitudinal axis so the cross-sectional area is constant and does not change in position along the conductor. The position of each strand in the cross-section changes periodically along the length of the conductor. The conductor is twisted and folded and laid on itself no more than once while preserving the position of the now at least 4-layer cross-section over its length.  The conductor has an at least two-layer basic structure with one strand always between the same two strands and twisted about the longitudinal axis so the cross-sectional area is constant and does not change in position along the conductor. The position of each strand in the cross-section changes periodically along the length of the conductor. The conductor is twisted and folded and laid on itself no more than once while preserving the position of the now at least 4-layer cross-section over its length.

Inventor: AJIT JANARDHANAN S
IPC: H03K3/013
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: An input circuit has hysteresis to mitigate the effects of input noise. The
input circuit receives an analog input signal and determines whether the
unregulated analog input signal is a high or a low voltage. The input circuit
outputs a regulated low voltage (i.e., "0") for a low input signal, and outputs a
regulated high voltage (i.e., "1") for a high input signal. The low-to-high
transition occurs at a higher voltage than a high-to-low transition, which mitigates
noise on the input signal. Furthermore, the comparator includes a feedback path
from an output of the comparator to an input of the comparator. The feedback
path causes some delay in any output voltage transition (i.e. high-to-low output
transition or low-to-high transition), which further enhances the hystersis effect
and improves noise immunity. An embodiment of the circuit interfaces with high
voltage (e.g., 5V) input signals and outputs low voltage (e.g., 1.2V) output
signals. In other words, the input circuit also provides a voltage transition while
detecting the low-to-high and high-to-low transitions.

Abstract: This invention relates to simulated nut production. More specifically,
it relates to a method for producing a simulated nut, said method comprising
providing a premix by mixing soy bean particles having surfaces, a nut
flavoring, and a binder comprising a saccharide in a wet flowable form
wherein the surfaces of the soy bean particles are coated with the binder, and
forming the premix into a self-supporting shape that is substantially similar to
a natural nut shape. The resulting simulated nut product is healthier due to
the substantial soy content used instead of real nutmeat, while replicating
authentic nut flavor, crunch, appearance, texture, and the like. The simulated
nuts of the present invention can be made at less cost than obtaining real
nuts.

Abstract: Test apparatus 100 judges a test item, and when carrying out a radio transmission characteristics test, communicates layer 3 signals with mobile terminal apparatus 150 to implement radio connection over CDMA radio interface and transmit a measurement signal. In transmitting the measurement signal, mobile terminal RLC control section 109 notifies RLC section 152 of suspension of transmission of a signaling signal, and based on the notification, RLC section 152 suspends transmission of a signaling signal and transmits only the measurement signal. It is thereby possible to carry out the radio transmission characteristics test with constant transmission power without providing the mobile terminal apparatus with a function only required for the radio transmission characteristics test.
