Abstract: Digital data is provided with a time stamp of an internal time signal of an internal clock. The internal time signal is validated by receiving and evaluating an internal broadcast or a cable signal of an external time source, from which a standard time can be derived, comparing the standard time with the internal time signal of the internal clock, and time stamping the digital data. The digital data is time stamped only if a time difference between the internal and external time signals lies within a given tolerance range. Finally, the time-stamped digital data is encrypted.

Abstract: A method of easily consecutively manufacturing a layered structure with the same or different kinds of materials superposed in a plurality of layers, is attained by a simple mechanical method. The layered structure manufacturing method is embodied by use of a shaping apparatus having a unique construction. The shaping apparatus includes a plurality of irregular passageways disposed in a side-by-side relationship in the same direction, wherein sectional configurations of the irregular passageways continuously vary from inlets thereof toward outlets, and the irregular passageways are superposed on each other at the outlets. An apparatus body as a principal portion of the shaping apparatus may be constructed by connecting a plurality of elements in series, which are internally formed with the irregular passageways. Materials to be shaped, which exhibit a fluidity or plasticity, are fed into the inlets of the irregular passageways in the shaping apparatus. The shaped materials thereby flow to the outlets while the sectional configurations thereof are consecutively varied and, during this process, get confluent and diverge while flowing inside the irregular passageways.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: After a high-pressure container 1 is mounted to a charging jig 2, on-off valves 82 and 83 are closed, and on-off valves 81 and 84 are opened, so as to draw a vacuum in each of a charging path7, the charging jig 2 and the high-pressure container 1. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed, the on-off valve 83 is opened, for charging a hydrogen from a combustible gas source 43 into the high-pressure container 1 through a charging port 11. When a pressure within the container reaches a predetermined pressure, the on-off valve 81 and 83 are closed. In this manner, the hydrogen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except a flammable range. Then, the on-off valve 84 is opened to draw a vacuum only in the charging path 7. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed and the on-off valve 82 is opened to charge an oxygen from an oxdizer gas source 5 into the high-pressure container 1. In this manner, the oxygen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except the flammable range. If a pressure within the high-pressure container 1 reaches a predetermined pressure, a sealing member operating mechanism 3 is operated so that the charging port 11 of the high-pressure container 1 is sealed by a sealing member 12. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system includes several subsystems, each connected via an interface circuit (2,3) to a ring bus (5) for common interchange of digital source and control data. The data are transferred in a format with a clocked sequence of individual bit groups of equal length divided into sub-groups, each forming a data channel. At least one data channel carries control data transferred in packets with a destination address. Each interface contains an address decoder. At least one subsystem has a special address with which a received data packet is fed directly to an instruction decoder in the interface circuit. The instructions are decoded on a bit basis. The interface circuit or subscriber responds directly to an instruction in the instruction code.

Abstract: The circuit frequency modulates a colour signal having a colour burst, and a colour information signal, modulated onto a carrier with a first frequency, to a second frequency. The circuit has a complex conjugate imaging mode, generating an output signal containing the frequency modulation, and a colour signal in complex conjugate form. The colour signal modulated to the first carrier frequency is mixed (1) to a third frequency. A second mixer (20) converts the colour signal of the third frequency to the second frequency. The second mixer (20) receives a second mixing signal, in complex conjugate mode, and receives a first mixing signal otherwise. The difference between the first mixing frequency and the third carrier frequency equals the second carrier frequency. The phase relationship of the colour signal to the second mixer (20), at third frequency, the first mixing signal and the second mixing signal is such that in the output of the second mixer (20) is modulated onto the colour carrier with the desired phase. A bandpass filter (35) provides the colour signal modulated onto a colour carrier with the second carrier frequency.

Abstract: A multi-standard receiver is which is particularly suited for reception of B/G-PAL and D/K-PAL TV signals. In the receiver, a tuner (TUN) selects a desired TV signal which is passed to a multi-standard demodulator (DEM) via an intermediate-frequency filter circuit (IFF). To obtain good performance, particularly in view of EN 55020 requirements, at moderate costs, the intermediate-frequency filter circuit (IFF) includes a main filter (FIL1) and an auxiliary filter (FIL2). The main filter (FIL1) may have a relatively narrow band, for example, just capable of passing a full B/G-PAL TV IF signal to the demodulator circuit. For D/K-PAL reception, the auxiliary filter (FIL2) is effectively switched (SW) in parallel with the main filter (FIL1). The auxiliary filter (FIL2) transfers the D/K-PAL sound carrier to the demodulator circuit (DEM), which transfer is not possible via the relatively narrow-band main filter (FIL1).

Abstract: A system for performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures includes a pair of surgical instruments coupled to a pair of robotic arms with end effectors that can be manipulated to hold and suture tissue. The robotic arms are coupled to a pair of master handles by a controller to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. The movement of the handles is scaled such that the end effectors movement corresponds differently, typically smaller, than the movement performed by the hands of the surgeon. The input button allows the surgeon to adjust the position of the handles without moving the end effector, so that the handles can be moved to a more comfortable position. The system may include a robotically controlled endoscope allowing the surgeon to remotely view a surgical site. The surgeon may manipulate handles and move end effectors to perform a cardiac procedure.

Abstract: A data compression system using vector quantization utilises a codebook or index tables constructed by finding a small set of points in an n-dimensional space which are representative of a much larger population. The space is partitioned such that the integrals of the probability density functions over all the subspaces are approximately equal and thereafter the centre of gravity of each subspace is taken to represent the subspace population. The partitioning is effected sequentially to map n-dimensional space into one dimensional code space.

Les particules de carbone (aggrégat (CA) de noir de carbone et poudre de graphite (GP)) peuvent être dispersées dans une couche galvanoplastique, ou un élément en feuille mince peut être décomposé thermiquement après dispersion des particules de carbone dans la feuille mince.
