Abstract: Process for low temp. decomposition of air comprises cooling a 1st partial stream (101) of compressed and purified air (1), passing to a main rectification system (4) and decomposing into liq. O2 and gaseous N2. In a 1st condenser-evaporator (2), a liq. fraction (20, 29) is vaporised in indirect heat exchange with a 2nd stream (202, 203) of compressed and purified air. The 2nd partial stream is partially condensed in this exchange and an argon-contg. oxygen fraction (22) from the rectification system (4) is fed to a raw argon column (24) where it is sepd. into raw argon and an oxygen rich liq.. Vaporous raw argon from the head of the column (24) is liquefied by indirect heat exchange with at least part of the 2nd stream (203) downstream of the 1st condenser-evaporator in a 2nd condenser-evaporator (27), where at least a part of the 2nd stream evaporates. Virtually the entire cold required for the liquefaction of raw argon is produced by the evapn. of the second stream. Also claimed is a process as above where at least a part of the 2nd partial stream (205) evaporated in the 2nd condenser-evaporator is fed to the rectification system without further pressure increase.

Abstract: A method of splicing two compressed video signals which have been encoded according to the standard adopted by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) determines an amount of null information that is to be inserted between the two video signals in order to ensure that an input buffer of an MPEG decoder does not overflow after receiving the spliced video signals. The method allows a splice to occur after any access unit (picture) in the first compressed video signal. The amount of null information is determined from the data rates of the first and second compressed video signals and the amount data which is provided to the buffer before the data is retrieved from the buffer for both the first and second video signals. The video signals are spliced by inserting the null information, as sequence stuffing bits into a buffer immediately after the selected picture in the first video signal. The second video signal is transmitted to the buffer immediately after these stuffing bits.

Abstract: A disk drive (7) in which a servo phase locked loop (21b) is synchronized with the playback signal from embedded servo fields (7s) spaced around the circumference of the disk. This PLL is already correctly aligned with the playback signal at the start of each embedded servo field (7s), rather than being re-synchronized at the start of each embedded servo field as has been done in the prior art. The availability of the phase aligned clock produced by this PLL allows for a reduction in the size of the embedded fields (7s).

Abstract: A histogram of a digital image signal representing a color image is formed, and a dynamic range of the image signal is calculated in accordance with the histogram. A rate of dynamic range compression corresponding to a region of the image signal, in which the signal value is comparatively large, a region of the image signal, in which the signal value is comparatively small, and/or the entire region of the image signal, is set in accordance with the dynamic range and by taking a predetermined reference level of the image signal as reference. A dynamic range compressing process is carried out on the image signal with the rate of dynamic range compression having thus been set. Gradation processing is carried out on an image signal, which has been obtained from the dynamic range compressing process, and a processed image signal is thereby obtained. A visible image is then reproduced from the processed image signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for repairing or improving the behavior of a tunable circuit of an integrated circuit (IC) when a target parameter exceeds a predetermined range due to a design and/or fabrication problem. The tunable circuit includes one or more tuning controllers for tuning a corresponding number of target circuits. Each tuning controller includes one or more registers and an optional decoder. Each target circuit includes a tunable portion and a functional portion. The functional portion can have one or more of a wide variety of functions including but not limited to logical gates, buffers, signal generators and amplifiers. The selectable parameters of the tunable circuit include timing delays, trip voltages, rise/fall times and/or output impedances. When a circuit designer wishes to tune the target parameter, an appropriate tuning pattern is latched into registers of the tuning controller. In turn, the tuning controller generates corresponding tuning pattern signals enabling target circuit(s) to changeably tune the target parameter by selectively enabling different tunable portions of the target circuit. For example, by selecting the appropriate load resistance and/or capacitance of the tunable circuit, the rise/fall time of the target circuit is tuned for compatibility with respect to the other portions of the IC or system. The tunable circuit of the present invention advantageously lends itself to post-fabrication correction of design or fabrication problems, thereby increasing the potential yield rate. In addition, the tunable circuit can be tested under different operating conditions in a non-destructive manner without the need for another time-consuming and costly IC fabrication cycle. Other advantages include the ability to selectively operate target circuit(s) of the IC at a higher speed under ideal conditions and at a lower speed under hostile conditions.
