Title: A television receiver
Inventor: FURIHATA MAKOTO
IPC: H04N5/775
Filed: 1984-02-10
Abstract: A television receiver in which an APC circuit 33, a VCO 34 and a frequency divider circuit 35 constitute a PLL circuit, which responds to an output of a synchronous separator circuit 31. In the case where the television receiver receives a signal from a broadcasting station or a playback signal from a video tape recorder in its normal playback mode, horizontal synchronous pulses of 15750 Hz are produced from an output of the frequency divider 35, and vertical synchronous pulses of 60 Hz are produced from an output of a 1/525 counter 36 to which an output of the VCO 34 is applied. A voltage comparator 45 detects an additional pulse (Vp'', Fig. 2) which is supplied from the video tape recorder in its special playback mode e.g. a fast playback mode. In the presence of the additional pulse, the output of the voltage comparator 45 forcibly resets the 1/525 counter 36, with the result that the vertical synchronous pulse responsive to the special playback mode is produced from the output of the 1/525 counter 36. <IMAGE>

Title: Digital television system with error correction
Inventor: LEWIS HENRY GARTON
IPC: H04N9/69
Filed: 1984-03-07
Abstract: A digital television processing system is provided which contains error correction capability. A digital processing section (23, 26, 31, 36, 37, 38, 45, 46, 51, 52) accepts first digital samples as input and produces modified digital samples (Yc) as output, each sample containing picture information. A processing stage (23, 45, 46) in the section, when supplied with certain input digital samples, produces digital output samples (Yp) subject to error. The modified picture information, derived from the output samples is also subject to error. A digital-to-analog converter (49, 50) accepts the modified (possibly erroneous) digital samples and produces a (possibly erroneous) picture information analog signal (y'). An error detector (70) coupled to the digital processing stage detects the presence of the error and controls correction means (48) coupled to the digital-to-analog converter to change the analog signal to a different analog signal such that the picture information is corrected for the effects of the error. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lateral stabiliser connected between a lower link arm of the three-point implement attachment linkage of an agricultural tractor and the tractor comprises a telescopic assembly having outer connection points 60 and 66. An inner shaft 36 is telescopically received within an outer tube 32, 34 and is biased to a neutral position by means of a compression spring 38 which remains in compression in its neutral position. Telescopic extension or retraction of the shaft and tube relative to one another is resisted by the compression spring which, always being under compression, imparts a high return load to the neutral position even upon small relative movements between the shaft and tube. Spring 38 acts on thrust washers 44, 46 which abut against stops 42, 48 on the shaft and 50, 52 on the tube, as appropriate. The device can be locked, as by pin 56 or by spring-loaded arms (Figs. 5 to 7), and the shaft and tube can act to some extent as piston and cylinder to effect a degree of pneumatic damping. Belleville washers (Fig. 8) can also provide damping on excessive displacement. <IMAGE>
