Abstract: The image processing system extracts a noisy temporal sample at a given location in the noisy image and delivers a corresponding recursively filtered temporal sample to construct a noise free image. The recursive temporal filter sums the corresponding sample from the preceding filtered image with the corresponding sample of the differences between the preceding noisy image and its filtered form. A recursion factor is used to weight the difference. A bi-dimensional spatial filter (F2D) is applied to the difference images to show the spatially coherent samples and provide a measure of the probability of movement of attached to the spatially coherent samples. A scalar function (f1) is applied to generate the recursion factor depending on the measure of probability of movement.

Abstract: The aileron and elevator controls have two actuators (110,112,114) each having an electrical control signal input (11a,113a,115a) and an electrical control system which can occupy three states: a normal flight state, an operating state, and a mixed state. In the normal state one of the actuators is used, and in the operating state, both are used. One at least of the actuators operates in a mixed mode with a mechanical control input, so if the electrical system fails, defining the third state, the mechanical control on the mixed mode actuator is effective and allows continued operation. The transition is controlled by a solenoid valve bringing a hydraulic system into action if the electricity fails.

Abstract: At the time of coding input image and audio data, and
decoding coded video and audio data by using a computer,
the amount of computation required per unit time becomes
enormous, whereby it has been very difficult to carry out
coding and decoding in real time. 
     As for coding methods in accordance with the present
invention, a first method is a method wherein signal format
conversion, orthogonal transform and variable-length
coding are carried out continuously with predetermined
small areas in a frame used as units, and the number of memory
access times is decreased, whereby high-speed processing
is attained. A second method is a method wherein orthogonal
transform computation is omitted by using orthogonal
transform coefficients, whereby processing time is
shortened. A third method is a method wherein, in additions
and subtractions used for orthogonal transform and the like,
the number of registers to be used is decreased, and the
number of memory access times is reduced, whereby high-speed
processing is attained. The decoding method in
accordance with the present invention is a method wherein,
in variable-length decoding, table size is not made larger,
the number of table access times per code word is set to
2 at the maximum, and plural code words are decoded by one
table access operation, whereby high-speed decoding is 
attained.

Abstract: Methods for pre-shaping paint film laminates and co-molding processes using such laminates are disclosed. The methods comprise the steps of providing a plastic film laminate, softening the paint film laminate with heat such that one or more localized portions of the member absorb more heat than the remainder and deforming the plastic film member to form a pre-shaped article. The formation of different heat absorption areas on the paint film laminate is referred to as the provision of heat sink areas (8w). These heat sink areas (8w) can be provided for example by surface coating of heat retention means such as black paint or ink pigments on localized areas of the surface of the laminate followed by uniform heating of the laminate in an oven or the like or the sheet can be heated in localized areas to a greater extent than in remainder portions by the means of heat guns or the like. In either case, the result is that certain desired portions of the paint film absorb more heat than the remainder sections (708n). The heat sink portions are deformed in either a pre-shaping step or in the molding step. When the heat sink portions are placed adjacent mold sections adapted to form a given surface continuity (8), the portions of the laminate bordering the heat sink portions (708w) exhibit gloss consistent with other show surfaces of the co-molded part.
