design parameter value in violation of any of the rules and the
formulas is fixed and the design parameter values are
redetermined through the use of the rules and formulas relating

Abstract: An ATIP decoder (6) detects an ATIP
synchronization signal from a wobble signal which was
recorded on an optical disk (1) as a wobble of
pregrooves formed on the optical disk. A CD encoder
(7) performs EFM modulation on information to be
recorded, inserting a subcode frame synchronization
signal into the information to be recorded at a
predetermined position, and outputting an EFM pattern
to be recoded. The CD encoder includes an EFM
outputting timing control circuit (13) which controls
a timing at which the EFM pattern is output. The EFM
outputting timing control circuit performs information
recording timing initialization, before the EFM
pattern is actually recorded on the optical disk, in
which initialization the phase between a timing at
which the ATIP synchronization signal is detected from
the optical disk and a timing at which the subcode
frame synchronization signal is recorded on the
optical disk is adjustable.

Abstract: The container has an outlet for carbon dioxide. Means are arranged in the outlet to lead gaseous carbon dioxide from the container. The container is thermally insulated and is divided internally into two compartments, one for the items to be cooled and one to contain the refrigerant. The wall separating the two compartments is porous. The refrigerant is carbon dioxide snow and the porosity is required to allow cold gas to penetrate the items. The refrigerant section is at the top layer of the container so that cold gas, which is denser than air, can gravitate downwards. Surplus gas is withdrawn at the top by a fan, through a hood, from an opening in the lid. This opening is normally covered by an insulated flap which forms part of the external insulation of the box and is held in place by well-known fasteners. Liquid carbon dioxide, from a container at a pressure up to 72 bar, is injected by a probe and forms snow immediately on release.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a casing (1) of an electronic apparatus, such as a communications control unit, wherein a casing wall, which is made of metal or other electrically conductive material and provides shielding against interference, has one or more through channels (5) for optical cables (3). In accordance with the invention, said channel is located between metallic parts (6, 7) which are detachably attached to each other and is curved in shape so that full reflection of light will occur in an optical cable (3) bent so as to correspond to the shape of the channel. A curved through channel (5) facilitates appropriate direction of the cable both inside and outside the casing, at the same time directing the cable so as to avoid sharp uncontrollable bends in the cable that cause leakage of light. As the parts (6, 7) confining the through channels (5) are detachable for the installation of cables (3), the cable ends inside the casing can be equipped with connector parts (4) the size of which is independent of the cross section of the channel.

Abstract: In the context of recording programme
contributions, in particular television transmissions, it
is frequently undesirable for the advertising blocks
broadcast during the transmission also to be recorded and
displayed in the event of subsequent reproduction. The
invention is concerned with the problem of reliably
suppressing such advertising blocks in the event of
subsequent reproduction. To that end, it proposes firstly
recording the transmission including the broadcast
advertising blocks and then carrying out a search during
which the beginning and the end of the advertising blocks
(WU1 - WU3) are marked. The information items (CIDN1,
CDIN3) thus obtained are used in order either to
subsequently record associated navigation data
( CN1 - CNi+3 ) on the storage medium (43), the said
navigation data ensuring that the stored advertising
blocks are masked out in the event of reproduction, or
resorting of the recorded data cells is performed, in the
case of which the data of the programme contribution are
then packed as compactly as possible and the data cells
for the advertising blocks are eliminated in this way. 
     The invention can be used very advantageously in
a DVD video recorder which operates with DVD-RAM discs.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for
reducing the total number of required rolling passes of a metal
strip in a cold rolling mill to achieve a desired strip thickness.
This is accomplished by increasing the exit strip tension of the
metal up to 85% of the yield strength Y of the metal strip. This
increase in exit strip tension allows a manufacturer to process
strip in an apparatus at a maximum thickness reduction of about 50
to 55% in a single rolling pass. At the same time, the increased
exit strip tension will result in a reduced lever arm of the work
roll of the cold rolling mill and will substantially reduce all of
the roll separating force, motor torque and roll mill power of the
apparatus.
