Abstract: A DVD CD-ROM player integrated with a personal computer is provided.
When integrating a DVD CD-ROM with a personal computer, there are various problems that
must be overcome. For example, the stream from the DVD CD-ROM utilizes a 27 MHz
clock. However, a personal computer typically does not have a 27 MHz clock, but instead
has a system clock, that runs at the frequency of the processor. Therefore, in order to play a
DVD-based audio-visual work in a personal computer, a clock running at 27 MHz is needed.
As such, a software clock running at 27 MHz is provided which facilitates the integration of a
DVD CD-ROM into a personal computer. By using a software clock, synchronization of the
audio-visual stream is facilitated and both cost and development time are reduced.

Abstract: The method involves detecting the actual or current condition as regards the aging of a container which is, in predetermined cycles, filled with a pressurised gas and emptied. According to the actual condition, the container undergoes a repeated official test. The amplitude of the pressure cycle i.e. the fill pressure minus the residual pressure before the next filling process is detected. Also the temperature cycles i.e. the max and min temperatures within a predetermined cycle is measured. By means of a suitable computer program the mechanical aging of the container is calculated from the measurements. Also above critical expansion in the circumferential and/or longitudinal direction of the container is detected and taken into account when determining the aging of the container.

Abstract: A digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter for compensation of
Nyquist slope in a pseudo-synchronous demodulator has a plurality of
individual FIR filters coupled in series, having a bandpass filtered
intermediate frequency video signal as an input and providing a
broadband video signal as an output. The individual FIR filter amplitude
responses represent each product term of the following polynomial:
 A(ω) = 2(1+x)(1+x 2 ) ... (1+x 2^(F-1) ) 
where F is the number of individual FIR filters in the series and
x=(ω m -ω)/ω t , ω m  being the modulation frequency and ω t  being a deviation
frequency. The register delay value for each of the individual FIR filters is
obtained heuristically to achieve optimum quality as a compromise
between performance and hardware complexity, and the number of
individual FIR filters is determined by convolving each individual FIR
filter with prior individual FIR filters in the series until the overall
performance meets frequency response requirements.

Abstract: An inkjet printer (10) uses a printhead (12) that passes repeatedly across
a print medium in individual swaths. The printhead (12) has individual nozzles
(21) that are fired repeatedly during each printhead swath to apply an ink
pattern to the print medium. Before any given swath, the printer (10) analyzes
factors that might require a reduction in print density. Anticipated printhead
temperature is one factor that might require a reduction in print density. The
printer (10) monitors the print density and peak printhead temperature during
each printhead swath. It then uses these values to calculate, prior to each new
swath, a maximum permissible print density. If a reduction in print density is
required, the printer (10) temporarily disables selected nozzles (21) to produce
a reduced-height swath rather than pausing between swaths or reducing the
printhead velocity relative to the page.
