Inventor: AZADEGAN FARAMARZ
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: A method and system for re-encoding frames of a digital video stream without changing the previously calculated bit length of the stream. A set of macroblocks at a time are re-encoded (292), the number of resulting bits is calculated (306, 368) and the deviation from an estimated number of bits is calculated (372), either set-by-set or cumulatively. Based on the accuracy (372), of the estimate (422) and the remaining number of sets of macroblocks (424) to re-encode, a correction factor (710) for the quantization level of the next set of macroblocks is chosen from a lookup table. The correction factor is added to the quantization level of the next set of macroblocks (712) and the results stored as the new quantization level of the set (706). This sequential process is done for all sets of macroblocks in the digital stream which are to be recorded according to changed image qualities (706, 708, 710, 712, 714).

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant d'inhiber la formation d'hydrates de clathrates dans un fluide comportant des constituants pouvant former des hydrates. Plus spécifiquement, on peut utiliser ce procédé pour traiter un flux de fluide pétrolier tel que du gaz naturel transporté par pipeline, et ce dans le but d'inhiber la formation d'une restriction d'hydrates à l'intérieur du pipeline. L'agent inhibiteur d'hydrates, utilisé pour mettre en oeuvre ce procédé, est sélectionné dans la famille des copolymères sensiblement solubles dans l'eau, constituée du N-méthyl-N-vinylacétamide (VIMA) et de l'un de ses trois comonomères, la vinylpyrrolidone (VP), la vinylpipéridone (VPip) ou le vinylcaprolactame (VCap). L'association VIMA / VCap est le copolymère préféré. On peut utiliser ces copolymères seuls ou combinés les uns aux autres ou à d'autres inhibiteurs d'hydrates. De préférence, on utilise un solvant du type eau, saumure, alcool ou mélanges de ces composés, pour préparer une solution inhibitrice ou un mélange qui permette de faciliter le traitement du flux de fluide pétrolier.

Abstract: Object: to provide a method of continuously casting thin cast pieces. Constitution: a method of unsolidified rolling continuous casting, by which unsolidified cast pieces are subjected to rolling in a roller apron zone to produce thin cast pieces, and in which thin cast pieces are cast in the following steps 1 and 2: 1. a steady casting speed is temporarily decreased to a speed, at which thin cast pieces after rolling become completely solidified in an unsolidified rolling zone, and 2. after a thickness of a thin cast piece having been subjected to rolling is restored to an original thickness of the cast piece before the start of rolling, a casting speed is again increased to the original steady casting speed to release a rolling force at the time of rolling.

Abstract: Methods for regulation of lipid and cholesterol uptake are described which are based on regulation of the expression or function of the SR-BI HDL receptor. The examples demonstrate that estrogen dramatically downregulates SR-BI under conditions of tremendous upregulation of the LDL-receptor. The examples also demonstrate the upregulation of SR-BI in rat adrenal membranes and other non-placental steroidogenic tissues from animals treated with estrogen, but not in other non-placental non-steroidogenic tissues, including lung, liver, and skin. Examples further demonstrate the uptake of fluorescently labeled HDL into the liver cells of animal, which does not occur when the animals are treated with estrogen.

Abstract: In this fuel injection system, a larger-diameter
portion(115) and a smaller-diameter portion(114) which
constitute each intensifying piston(109) are brought
into contact with a convex surface, whereby the bending
of the smaller-diameter portion(114) can be prevented
when an external force exerted on the larger-diameter
portion(115) causes it to incline. The smaller-diameter
portion(114) and larger-diameter portion(115)
are formed separately, urged by a return spring(17) and
engaged with each other. Even when an injector body(4)
is inclined due to an external force and thermal stress
to cause the larger-diameter portion(115) to nearly
follow up the inclining of the injector body (4), a
contact point of the flat bottom surface (117) of the
larger-diameter portion(115) and the convex top surface
(116) formed on the smaller-diameter portion(114) is
merely shifted due to the rolling of these surfaces.
Since the smaller-diameter portion (114) does not
receive a bending effect by the larger-diameter portion
(115), inconvenience, such as a galling between the
smaller-diameter portion (114) and a bore(42)-defining
surface of a fuel supply body(5) does not occur.

Abstract: The system for detection of anomalies in optical fibre co-operates with a fibre (1) which transmits a focussed beam applied via a lens (3) to the input face (10) of the fibre. To detect an anomaly within the fibre, a detector (4) is situated near to the input surface of the fibre. This may consist of a photocell detector producing a signal in proportion to the incident light intensity. The light received is that reflected from an anomaly within the material of the fibre. To improve the sensitivity of the detector a converging reflector may be arranged around the axis of the fibre just outside the fibre input surface. This reflector has a central aperture for entry of the laser beam, and collects the returned laser light in order to focus this light on to the detector. The detector may be sensitive to a wavelength of light which is situated lower in the spectrum than that normally transmitted by the fibre.
