Abstract: The invention provides a phase locked loop circuit (25), a reproduction apparatus
and a phase locking method by which a capture range and a lock range can be widened.
Before a phase locked loop (25) circuit is locked, an output clock of a voltage
controlled oscillator (44) is counted with reference to a reference clock of a quartz
oscillator (31), and an error component between run length limited codes reproduced
from a disk (1) and the reference clock is extracted. Then, the PLL circuit (25) is
constructed based on a result of addition of the counted value of the output clock and
the extracted error component. After the phase locked loop circuit (25) is locked, a
phase error of the output clock of the voltage controlled oscillator (44) against the run
length limited codes reproduced from the disk is detected, and the PLL circuit is
constructed based on the detected phase error.

Abstract: Butterfly calculations of a cardinal number of four and
butterfly calculations of a cardinal number of two are
performed by using the same circuitry. When butterfly
calculations of a cardinal number of two are performed,
predetermined lines in the circuitry are removed by using
selectors. Moreover, the multiplication factors of the
signal lines which join predetermined complex multiplication
circuits with predetermined complex addition circuits are
changed from -j to -1, from -1 to 1, from -1 to 1, and from
-j to -1. As a result, a pair of butterfly calculating
circuit systems (A and B) are formed. On the other hand,
when calculations of a cardinal number of four are performed,
all the signal lines in the circuitry are connected, and the
predetermined multiplication factors of the respective paths
are set. As a consequence, a single butterfly calculating
circuit system having a cardinal number of four is formed.

Abstract: This invention relates to techniques for supporting
pedestrians on the move with information and, more
particularly, to a pedestrian navigation system for
navigating pedestrians by supplying them with information
about their positions and position-related information.
The system comprises a route computation apparatus having
pedestrian-oriented map information for pedestrian route
guidance, a portable route guidance apparatus, and markers
located in an installation. Also included in the system is
a medium translation function for translating input
information of a given medium to information of another
medium for output depending on current status of a
pedestrian, whereby the information of interest is
translated into information in a format suitable for the
state in which the pedestrian is utilizing the portable
apparatus. This provides a detailed route guidance service
allowing the pedestrian to reach a target location in a
specific installation. Because the system permits
automatic changing of modes for information exchanges
depending on the user's status of activity such as walking,
working, and participation in a meeting, necessary
information is made available in a status-compatible format
on a sufficiently detailed basis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique that facilitates A-D
conversion and D-A conversion of high-frequency image signals. Three A-D
converters 71 through 73 successively carry out A-D conversion of an analog
image signal AV1, in response to three sampling clock signals SAD1 through
SAD3, which respectively have a frequency that is 1/3 of a frequency of a dot
clock signal DCLK1 and phases that are sequentially shifted by a period of the
dot clock signal DCLK1, thereby generating three digital image signals D1
through D3 with respect to three consecutive pixels. The digital image
signals for the three pixels are written into consecutive storage areas in a
frame memory 26. Reading operation of an image signal from the frame
memory 26 is also carried out at a frequency that is 1/3 of a frequency of a
read dot clock signal. The working number of A-D converters and the
working number of D-A converters are regulated according to the frequency of
the analog image signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de détection du plomb sur une surface cible, dont la peau humaine, au moyen d'un système d'essuie-mains et d'un test chimique par ions rhodizonate ou sulfure. On frotte ou on essuie une surface à tester avec un essuie-mains pour recueillir les résidus se trouvant à la surface de l'essuie-mains. On solubilise ensuite toute particule de plomb recueillie sur l'essuie-mains, en utilisant une solution aqueuse acide. On fait ensuite réagir, le plomb solubilisé éventuellement recueilli, avec des ions rhodizinate ou sulfure pour faire apparaître une couleur caractéristique. Si du plomb solubilisé est présent, le traitement aux ions rhodizinate entraîne l'apparition d'une couleur allant du rose au rouge; le traitement aux ions sulfure entraîne l'apparition d'une couleur allant du marron au noir. Cette méthode est particulièrement utile dans la détection de la présence de plomb sur la peau et à vérifier l'efficacité du lavage des mains et de la suppression de toute trace de plomb sur la peau de personnes exposées. Cette méthode est également particulièrement utile dans l'évaluation sur place de la présence de plomb et de l'efficacité de son retrait sur le lieu de travail, à la maison, dans les écoles et dans des environnements similaires ainsi que l'exposition au plomb desdites personnes dans lesdits environnements.
