Abstract: A method is provided for determining the geolocation of a
mobile terminal within a telecommunications satellite system.
The system supports first and second forward communications
links from first and second earth stations through first and
second satellites to a common mobile terminal. The method
includes receiving, at the mobile terminal, first and second
forward link communications signals from the first and second
earth stations and, based thereon, obtaining synchronization
differential data. The synchronization differential data may
include timing and frequency synchronization data necessary to
maintain synchronization between the first and second
communications at the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal
transmits the synchronization differential data to the first
earth station over the return link. The first earth station
receives communications signals from the mobile terminal and
based thereon calculates return link synchronization data. The
earth station further calculates at least first and second
geoposition lines, along which the mobile terminal is
positioned, based on the return link synchronization data and
the synchronization differential data received from the mobile
terminal. The first and second geoposition lines define a point
of intersection at which the mobile terminal is located.

Abstract: The invention relates to adjusting contrast in television pictures and other natural
picture sequences. In the method according to the invention, the pictures of the
picture sequence are gathered into histograms which are processed in certain
fashion in order to improve contrast in the pictures, whereafter there are formed
mapping functions on the basis of the processed histograms, and the pixel values of
the pictures in the picture sequence are then altered on the basis of said mapping
functions. The histograms are processed so that from each class where the
magnitude of values surpasses a given, predetermined limit, there are cut off all
values surpassing said limit, which are then redistributed in the histogram, to
classes nearest to the class under observation. The weighting of the distribution
controlling the redistribution of the cut-off values advantageously varies according
to the class under observation, so that near the low-value end of the histogram, the
values are redistributed mainly to classes with higher values than in the class under
observation, and near the high-value end of the histogram, the cut-off values are
redistributed mainly to classes with lower values than in the class under
observation. In the middle region of the histogram, the values are distributed
essentially evenly on both sides of the class under observation. Moreover, the cut-off
limit can advantageously be defined to be dependent on the class, so that the
limit at the extreme ends of the histogram is lower than in the middle region
thereof. By applying this procedure, it is possible to avoid a situation where the
picture details are covered under areas that are seen nearly black or nearly white.
The thus preprocessed histograms are filtered in an adaptive edge-preserving filter,
so that flickering is effectively prevented and at the same time there is avoided a
distortion of the pictures successive to the cut-off spots in the picture sequence.

system which protects the secrets of a digital content. The system and the
apparatus are a real time operating system using a micro-kernel, which is
incorporated in the digital content management apparatus as an interruption process
having high priority, or is arranged in a network system using the digital content.
When a user uses the digital content, whether there is an illegitimate usage or not,
is watched by interrupting the usage process. In the case where illegitimate usage
is carried out, a warning is given or the usage is stopped. The
decryption/re-encryption functions of the digital content management apparatus
having the decryption/re-encryption functions are not restricted to the inside of the
user apparatus. By providing the decryption/re-encryption functions between the
networks, the exchange of secret information between different networks is secured.
By using this apparatus for converting a crypt algorithm, information exchange is
made possible between systems which adopt different algorithms.

Abstract: A tracking analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which incorporates
an input device (4), such as a superlattice, which produces a
pulsating output current (24) corresponding to the voltage
level of an analog input voltage (18) and an encoding device
(38) to provide a unique digital code (40) which can be read to
yield an approximation of the voltage level of the analog input
voltage (18). By simultaneously tracking the analog input voltage
(18), the device operates at higher speeds than previously
attainable. The resolution of the new ADC is increased by composing
the input device (4) to respond to narrow voltage
ranges. When the input device is a superlattice, narrow response
ranges are accomplished by composing the superlattice to
have an increased number of minibands (10) or by vertically
stacking a plurality of superlattices.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for forming
a multi-layer coating film which is characterized by
applying a base coating (A) which contains a phosphoric
acid group-containing resin composition, and, without
curing the same, applying a leafing type aluminum flake
pigment-containing metallic composition (B), and, after
curing both of said base coating (A) and said metallic
composition (B), applying, on the coated surface of said
metallic composition (B), a composition (D) which contains
a phosphoric acid group-containing non-aqueous
dispersion which comprises polymer particles dispersed
in a solution of macromolecular dispersion stabilizer
dissolved in an organic solvent, said polymer particle
being a particle of polymer which is composed of a
phosphoric acid group-containing polymerizable unsaturated
monomeric unit as a constituent component, and
applying a clear coating (D). 
     With use of said method, there can be improved
inter layer adhesivity between a metallic coating film,
which is formed from a leafing type aluminum flake
pigment, and another coating film adjacent thereto,
without reducing the excellent effects such as dense
metallic feeling of the coated surface, a chrome plating-like
finish, and strong brightness feeling and
strong flip-flop properties, which are produced by such
a metallic coating film.

Abstract: A cache device of the present invention has a path
through which the desired data contained in block load data
transferred from a main memory are delivered to a
processing unit which required the desired data, even when
cache access by an instruction for accessing the main
memory results in a cache miss. This path is different
from a path through which the desired data is read from a
data array of the cache device when a cache hit occurs.
Namely, the path in question neither contains a path from
the main memory to the data array nor a path from the data
array to a general purpose register which the processing
unit can refer to, and allows the desired data delivered
from the main memory to be directly transmitted to the
processing unit. The cache device, as soon as it finds the
desired data out of block load data delivered from the main
memory, writes them into the general purpose register by
way of the path in question. The block load data delivered
from the main memory are stored in a data buffer, and then
written sequentially into the data array.
