Abstract: Video data formatting apparatus for formatting video data representing successive
picture for a data handling channel having a predetermined data capacity per picture,
comprises:
   means for receiving an input video signal representing successive pictures, the input
video signal having associated with it at least data defining at least some of the coding
decisions made during an encoding of pictures represented by the input video signal into a
compressed form having group-of-pictures (GOP) format including at least one inter-picture
encoded picture;   means for converting the input video signal into an intermediate compressed video
signal, the intermediate compressed video signal having a GOP format in which each GOP
contains fewer pictures than a GOP associated with the input video signal;   means for deriving a metadata signal from the input video signal, the metadata
signal indicating at least the data defining at least some of the coding decisions;   means for generating a data quantity allocation to control the transcoding into the
intermediate video signal, whereby each picture of the intermediate video signal is
transcoded so as not to exceed a respective data quantity allocation, in which the generating
means calculates the data quantity allocation for each picture to be substantially equal to:   the predetermined data capacity per picture   less   the quantity of metadata for the input video signal GOP containing that picture
divided by the number of pictures (n) in that input video signal GOP.

Abstract: After a hole is formed in the polishing pad 21, a transparent window plate 31 is inserted
into this hole. Here, a gap  a  is left between the upper surface of the transparent window plate 31
and the outermost surface constituting the working surface of the polishing pad 21. During
polishing, the polishing head holding the wafer applies a load to the polishing pad by means of a
load-applying mechanism, so that the polishing pad 21 and transparent window plate 31 are
compressed. In this case, [the system is] arranged so that the gap  a  remains constant, and so that
a dimension equal to or greater than a standard value is maintained. Since the upper surface of
the transparent window plate 31 is recessed from the upper surface of the polishing pad 21, there
is no scratching of the surface of the transparent window plate 31 during dressing. Accordingly,
the polishing pad has a long useful life.

Abstract: A fluorescent and/or phosphorescent coating composition, particularly useful as a body coating, hair coating, lipstick and particularly as a phosphorescent nail polish that has the capability of changing from transparent, or other color, in light to a phosphorescing or fluorescing composition upon the withdrawal of light. The composition, e.g., nail polish, will return to its original color, as originally perceived by a human eye, as soon as light again contacts and is absorbed by the phosphorescent or fluorescent composition. The nail polish of the present invention is capable of undergoing a reversible chemical change upon the withdrawal of light without altering its physical properties.

IPC: B29C48/00

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for introducing strain-induced crystallization to polyesters. Specifically, amorphous polymer from the melt phase reactor (1) is first extruded through a traditional strand die. However, instead of going directly into a pelletizer/cutter (7), it is stretched uniaxially at a temperature only slightly higher than Tg. The chain alignment resulting from stretching makes crystallization occur at a considerably higher rate than with traditional thermal crystallization. After this stretching process, the strand is annealed and fed to the pelletizer and chopped. The process of the present invention is advantageous for crystallizing polymers having slow rate of thermal crystallization half time from the glass. Optically clear polymers having at least about 15 % crystallinity and a single melting point endotherm are produced.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an object having a potential {x} that is generated in response to a field {f} applied thereto. A computerized mathematical model (801) of the object is generated by discretizing a geometric model of the object into a plurality of finite elements (802) and specifying values for the field {f} and potential {x} relative to the finite elements (802). The material properties (804) of the finite elements (802) are specified to have a particular symmetry and a material property (804) matrix [k] is calculated based on the relationship {f}=[k]{x} and the specified symmetry. Material property (804) coefficients are extracted from the material property (804) matrix [k] for each finite element (802) in the computerized mathematical model (801) and the extracted material property (804) coefficients are compared to material property (804) coefficients for known materials to match the extracted material property (804) coefficients to the material property (804) coefficients for known materials. Manufacturing parameters (805) for controlling manufacturing equipment are determined based on the matched material property (804) coefficients and the manufacturing equipment is controlled in accordance with the determined manufacturing parameters (805) to thereby manufacture the object.

Abstract: Light (34, 34a) from one or more lasers (32, 32a) is scanned across a sheet of glass (2). Light is directly incident on inclusions in the glass (2), and indirectly via reflection from the back surface of the glass. Light (38) scattered from an inclusion thus provides at least two scattering signals to a sensor (18), which may be analysed to determine the location, size and depth of the inclusion. Detected inclusions may be revisited and classified, into smooth scatterers such as bubbles and rough scatterers such as material defects, via a camera which records the pattern of scattered laser radiation. Nickel sulphide inclusions can be further classified via spectroscopic analysis. Modulation of the laser beams (34, 34a) improves accuracy and provides a timing mark for the scattered light.

En réaction à cette demande, un agent mandataire interroge la bibliothèque afin de déterminer les dérouleurs de bande disponibles pour recevoir la cartouche recherchée. L'agent mandataire sélectionne alors un dérouleur de bande parmi le dérouleurs disponibles pour recevoir la cartouche recherchée. Cette dernière est ensuite montée sur le dérouleur de bande sélectionné. Un contrôleur d'accès établit une connexion entre un dérouleur de bande virtuel associé à l'hôte et le dérouleur de bande sélectionné, afin d'assurer à l'hôte l'accès à la cartouche recherchée. Le dérouleur de bande sélectionné peut être sélectionné en fonction de son emplacement par rapport à l'emplacement de stockage de la cartouche recherchée. Pendant que l'ordinateur hôte a accès à la cartouche recherchée, le contrôleur d'accès peut connecter simultanément un autre dérouleur de bande virtuel, associé à un second hôte, à un autre dérouleur de bande, et ce afin de fournir au second ordinateur hôte l'accès à une cartouche différente.
