Patent AU-686355-B2 (AU)
Title: Arrangement and method for transmitting and receiving video signals
Inventor: ROSENGREN JURGEN FRITZ
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1995-04-10
Granted: 1998-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for deriving an ancillary signal from a compressed digital video signal (e.g. MPEG). The DC coefficients of autonomously encoded pictures (I-pictures) are selected from the compressed signal. The ancillary signal thus obtained can be used for display in a (multi-) picture-in-picture television receiver. A decoder for decoding such an ancillary signal is considerably simpler and less expensive than a full-spec MPEG decoder.

Title: Crochet tools for crochet galloon machine
Inventor: BERGER JOHANN
IPC: D04B25/06
Filed: 1983-12-07
Granted: 1987-02-19
Abstract: Crochet tools for producing bands on a crochet galloon machine. For the production of thin bands on ten or more crochet needles (10, 10') per centimeter of width, the stems of the crochet needles (10,10') are clamped over more than half the length of the needle. A knocking-over bar (20) fastened to the machine has a free straight edge (66) which adjoins closely but without play those parts of the crochet needles (10,10') which project out of the clamp device. The crochet needles are clamped with adequate security against lateral bending. There is no friction between the crochet needles at the knocking-over bar (20). The crochet needles can be clamped in groups, so that they stiffen one another. For the feeding of elastic threads use is made of combs (6) which are displaced laterally to-and-fro relative to the crochet needles in the working rhythm, but which are disposed at a uniform height relative to the crochet needles.

One of the clutch halves has substantially radially oriented projections (3) which consists of a rigid, wear-resistant material and are partly embedded in an elastically deformable carrier (2). Their projecting ends engage opposite recesses (6) in the other clutch half. Due to the elasticity of the carrier material the projections will, in response to the magnitude of the torque transmitted by the clutch, tend to deviate from their initial, radial positions and, when a predetermined torque limit value is exceeded, assume positions where the clutch starts skipping.

Abstract: A system for capturing an electronic message is disclosed. The system includes a printer, a sensing device and a computer system. The printer prints on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. Each coded tag encodes an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate. The user information defines a message area on the substrate. The sensing device senses the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate. The computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to the message area, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the movement relative to the message area and the message.

Abstract: In an electron source comprising a base plate and an electron emitting element disposed on the base plate, the electron emitting element includes a plurality of electron emitting portions electrically connected in parallel, the electrical connection being made through a thermally cut-off member. After forming the plurality of electron emitting portions, their electron emission characteristics are checked and, for that electron emitting portion on which the electron emission characteristic has been found not normal, the electrical connection is cut off. Alternatively, the electron emitting element includes an electron emitting portion connected to a voltage supply through a thermally cut-off member, and an electron emitting portion forming film which includes a thermally connecting member. In this case, after cutting off the electrical connection in that electron emitting portion on which the electron emission characteristic has been found not normal, the electron emitting portion forming film is connected to the voltage supply for forming another electron emitting portion in the film. With such an electron source and an image forming device using the electron source, a production yield and image quality are improved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pump with a continuous inflow and a pulsating outflow comprises a first chamber and a second chamber with a passage between them and made from a flexible material, provided with an inlet to the first chamber and an outlet from the second chamber, the passage between the chambers being provided with a one-way valve permitting flow in direction from the first to the second chamber only, and a second one-way valve arranged at the outlet permitting flow out of the second chamber only. The chambers are movably supported in a pump casing with a first and a second opening, in that the inlet is connected to and penetrates the first opening, and in that the outlet is connected to and penetrates the second opening. Drive means cyclically affect the second chamber and reduce its volume under expulsion of the medium which is pumped while simultaneously affecting the walls of the first chamber causing its volume to increase and medium to flow through the inlet into the chamber. The drive means include a drivering surrounding said passage and fixed to it, and which drivering has surfaces engagable with the first and the second chamber walls in a way that the medium taken in between periods when the drive means is affecting the chamber walls controls the output of the pump by defining the receding movement of the drive ring, which movement is a function of the differential pressure force resulting from the difference in areas of engagement with the respective chamber wall on both sides of the drive ring.
