Abstract: A pickup (2) reads data recorded on a disk (1) and outputs a current signal corresponding to the read data. An amplifier (3) outputs the current signal as a voltage signal. A data slice circuit (4) binarizes the voltage signal and converts it into an EFM signal. In response to the EFM signal, a PLL circuit (5) generates a PLL clock signal (PLCK) in synchronization with a reproduction speed. When a reference speed or its two-times higher speed is selected as the reproduction speed, if the PLL clock signal (PLCK) is synchronized with the EFM signal, the frequency of the PLL clock signal (PLCK) is proportionate to the reproduction speed. In response to the PLL clock signal (PLCK), the data slice circuit (4) controls the frequency band of a reference voltage in accordance with the reproduction speed, and outputs the EFM signal. A data processing circuit (6) demodulates the EFM signal and removes a jitter from the demodulated signal in response to the PLL clock signal (PLCK). The data processing circuit (6) also corrects an error of data corresponding to the demodulated signal in response to the PLL clock signal (PLCK), and outputs audio data.

Abstract: A system for sheetwise dry processing thermographic print media is disclosed. The media is a laminate of a substrate with an attached frangible tab, a peel sheet and an adhesive image forming layer. A feeder feeds the sheets one at a time from a first position and orientation to a second position and orientation with the tab at a trailing end. A print roller is mounted for reversible rotation in infeed and outfeed directions. The print roller has clamps for engaging the sheet as received from the sheet feeder. A thermal printer cooperates with the print roller for thermally exposing the substrate. A peeler receives the sheet from the print roller with the tab at the leading edge. The peeler captures the film and engages the tab bending the substrate about the score line causing it to fracture. The peeler pulls the substrate and adhered image layer apart from peeler sheet to thereby produce a peeled substrate with an image layer and a waste peeler sheet. A thermal laminator receives the substrate and image layer for thermal laminating engagement with a thermosensitive film having a thermosensitive layer transferrable to the image layer of the substrate. The film is thereafter stripped from the structure and the substrate transferred to a discharge receptacle.

Abstract: The present invention involves a receiving method and apparatus for use in 
a communication system wherein a spread-spectrum signal containing information bits is 
transmitted within an environment tending to produce multipath fading. The receiving 
apparatus includes a channel estimator which estimates channel coefficients, preferably 
corresponding to the level of correlation between the various multipath components of the 
spread-spectrum signal and a cell-correlation signal. A channel selector is configured to 
select one or more of the multipath components based on the channel coefficients, typically 
choosing multipath components with the greatest level of correlation, a condition which is 
indicative of a high signal-to-noise power ratio. The channel selector also identifies time 
delay values representing the time delay between such selected multipath components, such 
time delay values being used by a spread-spectrum receiver to identity the selected 
multipath components for presentation on plural diversity branches. A combiner combines 
the diversity branches in a predetermined manner, typically by weighted summation using 
weighting factors produced by the channel selector. A decoder extracts information from 
the combined signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for low bit rate coding of color video signals in which the use of the codebook entry identified by the codebook index may be bypassed in the coding of chrominance information when it is determined that it is advantageous to do so. In particular and in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of generating a codebook index signal based on the luminance information of the block being coded; determining a coding error based on a comparison of the chrominance information contained in the given block and the chrominance vector represented by the generated codebook index signal; and generating a chrominance vector bypass signal based on whether the coding error exceeds a threshold. Specifically, the chrominance vector bypass signal is used to indicate whether the chrominance information of the given block has or has not been coded with use of the codebook. In one illustrative embodiment, the motion-compensated interframe prediction for the given block is used (without any interframe codebook difference vector adjustment) to code the chrominance signal when the chrominance data from the indexed codebook entry is not used (i.e., when it is bypassed).
