Patent EP-0838955-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAGAWA AKIRA
IPC: H04N19/117
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: Video coding apparatus and decoding apparatus
capable of reproducing decoded pictures without
introducing unwanted noises, even if any considerable
difference in pixel values or discontinuity exists at a
certain block boundary. In a video coding apparatus
employing predictive techniques, a dequantizer and an
inverse DCT processor reproduce a prediction error signal
from quantized transform coefficients. Here, a first
resolution conversion unit (or downsampling unit) might
have subsampled the original prediction error signal to
reduce its picture resolution. If this is the case, a
second resolution conversion unit (or upsampling unit)
attempts to restore the original resolution of the
prediction error signal by applying an upsampling process
to the reproduced prediction error signal having the
reduced resolution. In this upsampling process, each new
pixel value in a certain block are calculated with
reference to some surrounding pixels. The upsampling
process, however, will not refer to the pixels belonging
to any adjacent blocks that are subject to another coding
scheme which is different from the coding scheme of the
present block of interest. As an alternate arrangement,
the upsampling process will entirely neglect the pixels in
any other blocks but will refer only to the present block.

Abstract: A Y/C separation apparatus of the present invention 
separating a luminance signal and a chrominance signal from a 
composite color television signal includes high band level 
detection circuits for detecting a high band level of each input 
signal and a judge circuit for controlling Y/C separation

video signal without chrominance signal, dot interference is not 
conspicuous.

Abstract: An arbitration controller provides arbitration on a
multipoint, high speed serial bus with a plurality of
drivers. Each driver includes a data input pin, an
output enable pin, and an output pin. The bus defaults
to a first state when the output of the plurality of
drivers are set to high impedance. The arbitration
controller eliminates any unstable output states on the
drivers by controlling the input signals on the drivers.
The arbitration controller detects when the bus is in an
arbitration mode. When this is detected, the
arbitration controller inputs data to the output enable
pin and inputs an opposite state of the first state to
the data input pin. Further, the arbitration controller
detects when the bus is in a data mode. When this is
detected, the arbitration controller inputs data to the
data input pin and inputs a driver control signal to the
output enable pin.

Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) magnetoresistive read head for a magnetic recording
system has the MTJ device (110,120,130) located between two spaced-apart magnetic shields (S1,S2). The magnetic
shields, which allow the head to detect individual magnetic transitions from the magnetic
recording medium without interference from neighboring transitions. also function as electrical
leads for connection of the head to sense circuitry. Electrically conductive spacer layers (102,104) are
located at the top and bottom of the MTJ device and connect the MTJ device to the shields.
The thickness of the spacer layers is selected to optimize the spacing between the shields,
which is a parameter that controls the linear resolution of the data that can be read from the
magnetic recording medium. To reduce the likelihood of electrical shorting between the
shields if the shield-to-shield spacing is too small, each of the shields can have a pedestal
region (161,163) with the MTJ device located between the two pedestals, so that the shield-to-shield
spacing outside the pedestal regions is greater than in the pedestal regions.

Abstract: There is provided an implantable device system such
as a battery-powered pacemaker system, with an improved
capability of measuring battery internal impedance,
thereby providing the means to determine anticipated
device End of Life. Within one pacemaker cycle
following a sensed beat or a delivered stimulus, and
before delivery of a next stimulus, three battery
measurements are taken at equally spaced time intervals.
Due to the RC nature of the battery internal impedance,
the first two battery voltage measurements can be used
to calculate what the voltage would be at the third
time, assuming no change in current load. At the third
time, a predetermined incremental current load is added,
and the battery voltage at the time of the added current
load is measured. The voltage differential between the
calculated battery voltage and the measured battery
voltage at the third time, together with the
predetermined incremental current load, is used to
calculate the battery impedance.
