Abstract: A method is described for recording video images and the associated sound with a reduced resolution, in such a manner that the recorded information can be reproduced by means of standard equipment. Video frames are filtered so as to derive browse sets having a reduced number of pixels. A number of 16 browse sets are stored in a frame memory in order to form a mosaic frame of 4x4 browse sets, after which the mosaic frame is recorded. Audio samples are processed to form audio browse samples: the MSH of a first audio sample is used as the MSH of an audio browse sample and the MSH of a ninth audio sample is used as the LSH of this audio browse sample, which is subsequently recorded. In this way, the information required to edit a recording is reduced by a factor of 16.

Abstract: A message transmission system, such as a paging system, in which message compression is practised through the use of identical memories (46, 80 (not shown)) in a primary station (10) and a secondary station (20 - not shown) storing identically the most frequently used n (where n is an integer) items of numeric only or alpha-numeric data. The contents of the memories (46, 80) are updatable dynamically to reflect changes in the most frequently used items by the primary station examining messages to be sent to a particular addressee to see if an item is being used more frequently than one of those stored in which case the primary station at its own volition re-writes the data in the memories (46, 80). The secondary station automatically acknowledges that its memory has been updated. The inventive technique may also be applied to frequently used phrases and also to complex graphical data which it is more efficient to store in the primary and secondary stations and to transmit a memory location indicator.

Abstract: A printer-control-only hardware circuit (control
circuit) is interposed between a printer driver of a host
computer and a printer. The printer driver transmits to the
control circuit a series of control circuit commands for use
with the control circuit. The series of control circuit
commands include several types of commands, such as a backend
parameter setting command used for sending a backend parameter
which is required for resetting the printer and an RGB data
transmission command for the purpose of transmitting full-color
RGB raster data. The control circuit identifies the types of
control circuit command received. If the control circuit
command is a backend parameter setting command, the backend
parameter is stored in the command buffer within a memory device.
If the control circuit command is an RGB data transmission
command, full-color RGB raster data of the control circuit
command are converted to binary CMYK raster data, and this
binary CMYK raster data are stored in data buffer within the
memory device. Subsequently, the control circuit reads the
backend parameter from the command buffer and prepares a printer
initial setting command from the backend parameter. The
thus-prepared printer initial setting command is sent to the
printer. Further, the CMYK raster data are read from the data
buffer, and a raster data transmission command for use with the
printer is prepared from the CMYK raster data. The thus-prepared
raster data transmission command is sent to the
printer.

Abstract: An error detector at a receiver comprises a feedback
shift register. A shift direction in the feedback shift
register is opposite to a shift direction at a transmitter in
generating a transmission bit string by using a specified
generator polynomial. A reception bit string is inputted to
the feedback shift register in reverse order to the
transmission bit string was generated at the transmitter so
that errors in the reception bit string is detected by obtaining
the remainder. Another error detector at a receiver comprises
first and second feedback shift registers. Respective shift
directions in the first and second feedback shift registers
are the same as and opposite to a shift direction at a
transmitter in generating a transmission bit string. The
reception bit string is inputted to the first feedback shift
register in the same order in which the transmission bit string
was generated, while the reception bit string is inputted to
the second feedback shift register in reverse order to one which
the transmission bit string was generated. Errors in the
reception bit string are detected by comparing respective
remainders obtained by the first and second feedback shift
registers. This reduces the processing time required for the
error detection and increases efficiency in detecting errors
in transmitted data.

Abstract: The OCL 200 receives two logic signals: the first, OC upper FET, is high when an over
current condition exists in the upper FET 22; the second, OC lower FET, is high when an over
current condition exists in the lower FET 24. When the over current condition is in FET 22,
PMOS 212 turns on and injects current into the summing junction of the integrator 10 through
Rcl. The net effect is turn off the upper FET 22 and turn on the lower FET 24. This reduces the
current in FET 22. As far as amplifier 100 is concerned, the net effect is gain compression. Since
upper FET 22 is on less and the lower FET 24 is on more, the gain of the audio signal is reduced.
When the overcurrent condition is in FET 24, NMOS 213 turns on and pulls current out of the
summing junction, turns the lower FET 24 off, and turns the upper FET 22 on. The net effect is
to reduce the current in the lower FET. At audio frequencies, the gain is reduced.
