Title: Automatic equalization of video signals
Inventor: AHERN STEPHEN M
IPC: H04N7/10
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: This invention is a video compensation system for analog video transmission.  The compensation system is employed in an analog video switching circuit such that each time a conductive path is switched, the system automatically tests the new switch path for a new compensation value. The compensation value is determined by measuring the response of the new, path to a set of tones that are applied to the conductive path. the response to which is measured against a table of responses previously recorded. The measured response are compared to the recorded responses to determine an appropriate compensation control voltage (V1, Vm, Vh), which is applied to an equalizer system (50-54). In an alternative embodiment, skew compensations also provided between red, green and blue twisted pair lines in the cables by performing comparative analysis between corresponding pairs of red, green and blue twisted pair lines in the cable by performing comparative analysis between corresponding red, green and blue signals.

Abstract: A seed depositing device designed to facilitate the uniform distribution of seeds during planting applications. The device includes a tubular outer shell having an open end and at least one opening along its length. An inner core is concentrically located in the outer shell and has at least one row of dimples along the length of an outer surface of the inner core for holding seeds. The inner core fits tightly enough in the outer shell to disallow free movement of the inner core within the outer shell. Rotation means is provided for manually rotating the inner core relative to the outer shell. The inner core is rotatable by the rotation means to align the at least one row of dimples with the at least one opening and expose the at least one row of dimples through the at least one opening. When the inner core is rotated so the openings of the outer shell are aligned with a row of dimples of the inner core, seeds are manually loaded into the exposed row of dimples through the openings of the outer shell. Each row of dimples is successively loaded in like manner until all dimples are loaded with seeds. A reversal of these steps is used to deposit the seeds onto a predetermined area.
