Patent EP-0903944-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI TERUHIKO
IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 1994-03-01
Abstract: Mismatch error occur in the local decoder of a MPEG-standard compressor for a motion picture
signal, and in an MPEG-standard expander for a compressed motion picture signal. This is because of
the lack of a standard for rounding results of *.5 (* is an integer) obtained when a set of transform
coefficients resulting from compressing the motion picture signal is inversely orthogonally
transformed. The invention prevents mismatch errors by preprocessing the set of transform
coefficients prior to the inverse orthogonal transform. The transform coefficients in the set are
summed, and the parity (odd or even) of the sum is judged. When the parity of the sum is judged to
be even, the parity of one of the transform coefficients in the set is inverted to provide a parity-inverted
transform coefficient. This makes the parity of the sum odd. Then, when the set of
transform coefficients including the parity-inverted transform coefficient is inversely othogonally
transformed, none of the results of the orthogonal transform will have a value of *.5.

Abstract: An articulated robot comprises a movable first transferring portion and a
second transferring portion movably supported in relation to the movable first
transferring portion by a joint portion. A workpiece is positioned at a position,
where a workpiece positional deviation detecting means is located, by a hand
portion formed at an end of the second transferring portion. The workpiece
positional deviation detecting means detects the amount of deviation in the
position of the workpiece. A positioning portion of the workpiece and a sensor
portion for detecting deviations of the workpiece are formed either at the first
transferring portion of the second transferring portion which form the articulated
robot. A detecting operation by the sensor portion and transferring of the first and
second transferring portions are enabled when the workpiece is positioned at the
positioning portion of the articulated robot.

Abstract: There is provided a unit capable of simultaneously producing nitrogen
of ultra high purity and oxygen of ultra high purity from air as a feed material. 
     Feed air is introduced into the bottom 15 of a first rectification column
6. Liquid nitrogen of ultra high purity is recovered from between the upper
rectifying part 12 and middle rectifying part 13, and liquid air free of high boiling
point components is recovered from between the middle rectifying part 13 and
lower rectifying part 14. Oxygen-rich liquid air collected in the bottom 15 is
reduced in pressure by an expansion valve 31, and then introduced into a
nitrogen condenser 8 as a refrigerant. After a portion of said liquid air is
reduced in pressure by an expansion valve 33, it is introduced into the second
rectification column 7, where low boiling point components are separated from
the top part 21 and liquid oxygen of ultra high purity is recovered from the
bottom 23. The remaining portion of said liquid air is reduced in pressure by an
expansion valve 32, and then introduced into the nitrogen condenser as a part
of the refrigerant. Accordingly, the quantity of a reflux liquid flowing through the
lower rectifying part 14 is regulated, and the quantity of said liquid air
introduced into the second rectification column 7 is regulated.

Abstract: A salt grid ( 38 ) for supporting salt ( 40 ) above a portion of a concentrated brine
solution in a brine tank ( 24 ) for use in a water softening system ( 20 ). The grid ( 38 )
comprises first and second platforms ( 42, 44 ) disposed at first and second elevational
levels with respect to the vertical walls ( 32 ) of the brine tank ( 24 ). The fluid level in
the brine tank ( 24 ) can be adjusted to be higher than the lower platform ( 42 ) of the salt
grid ( 38 ) but lower than the upper platform ( 44 ) of the salt grid ( 38 ). In this manner,
salt ( 40 ) dissolves only above the lower platform ( 42 ) part of the grid ( 38 ) and
consequently, the dirt ( 39 ) included in the salt ( 40 ) only passes through the lower
platform ( 42 ) of the grid ( 38 ). The brine well ( 30 ), which transports brine solution
from the brine tank ( 24 ) to the resin tank ( 22 ), is located away from the localized area
in which the dirt ( 39 ) collects at the bottom ( 36 ) of the brine tank ( 24 ). Leg extension
members ( 64 ) may be attached to the supporting legs ( 48 ) of the salt grid ( 38 ) to
further raise the salt grid ( 38 ) above the bottom ( 36 ) of the brine tank ( 24 ), thereby
