Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé (300) de conversion de signaux vidéo entrelacés MPEG en signaux vidéo progressifs, consistant à recevoir un signal vidéo entrelacé représentant un composant de luminance spécifiant des lignes de luminance et un composant de chrominance spécifiant des lignes (310) de chrominance, le composant de chrominance pouvant spécifier approximativement la moitié du nombre de lignes du composant de luminance. Le signal vidéo entrelacé peut être décodé et le nombre de lignes de chrominance peut augmenter jusqu'à atteindre approximativement le même nombre que les lignes (320) de luminance. Le nombre de lignes de chrominance du signal vidéo entrelacé peut alors être réduit (340), afin d'inverser sensiblement l'augmentation précédente. Le signal vidéo entrelacé peut alors être désentrelacé pour produire un signal vidéo progressif (350) qui peut être traité ultérieurement (360) si nécessaire.

Abstract: A servo drive for a valve in an internal combustion engine has an armature (4) fitted at right angles to the valve stem (3). The armature is held midway between two solenoids (6,7) by opposing springs and is displaced in either direction by the solenoids. A displacement sensor on the valve stem enables the control circuit (11) to monitor the exact position of the valve and to calculate the rate at which the valve is displaced. This enables the control system to achieve accurate valve action irrespective of the ambient conditions e.g. viscosity of the lubricant, temperature variation etc.

Abstract: An immunoassay cassette 10, apparatus, and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid body-fluid sample are disclosed. The cassette 10 has a body 12 and a support mounted on the body 12, for movement toward and away from a sample transfer position. A sample supplied to a sample well 18 in the cassette body 12 is taken up by a reagent reservoir 24 containing a first reagent composition effective to react with one or more sample components to form a modified sample. The support 12 provides a reagent strip 30 having a transfer zone 32 that is brought into contact with the reservoir 24, when the support 14 is moved to its transfer position, a detection zone 34 located downstream of the transfer zone 32, and a second reagent composition effective to react with the modified sample to form a detectable analyte-dependent product. By controlling the movement of the support 14 toward and away from its transfer position, the volume and rate of sample flow from the reservoir 24 to the strip 30 can be controlled to optimize and/or standardize sample-transfer conditions in the assay. <IMAGE>An immunoassay cassette 10, apparatus, and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid body-fluid sample are disclosed.

Abstract: A circuit quality estimation unit (104) estimates the circuit quality from the quality of a received signal and outputs it to a transmission mode determination unit (105) and a control signal division unit (108). The transmission mode determination unit (105) determines the transmission mode of a signal to be transmitted to the communication party , from the circuit state and outputs it to a switch (106), a switch (107) and a control signal division unit (108). The control signal division unit (108) divides the information on the transmission mode into a high-speed control signal to be periodically transmitted and a low-speed control signal to be unperiodically transmitted, if necessary, and outputs them to a modulator (114). The control signal division unit (108) determines a combination of the low-speed control signal and the high-speed control signal to be outputted, from the tendency of the communication quality, and outputs it to the modulator (114). The detailed operations of the control signal division unit (108) will be described later. The modulator (114) demodulates the high-speed control signal and the low-speed control signal and outputs them to a multiplexer (115).

Abstract: A system and method for conducting diagnostic services on live electrical equipment, such as electrical power transformers using a tap switch installed into each phase of the transformer. The tap switch is used along with the appropriate test and measurement equipment connected to a test and measurement system to perform the diagnostic service when the transformer is live and in-service. The tap switch allows the diagnostic service to be performed without the hazard of disconnecting the bushing tap in order to connect the bushing tap back to the test and measurement equipment. The tap switch provides for live diagnostic tests and measurements for the early identification of potential failures using diagnostic services, such as partial discharge (PD) and frequency response. Thus, live diagnostics can be performed on electrical power transformers while the transformers are in-service using a tap switch resulting in a reduction in down time and thus costs.
