Abstract: A digital phase lock loop controller (DPLL) (10)
incorporates an adjustment generator (34) for continually
adjusting the sensitivity of the DPLL (10) to reduce injected
noise. The DPLL also comprises an error detector (16), a
frequency adjuster (22), a first oscillation generator (28), and a
divider (32) that function in a manner common to many DPLLs
(10). However, the adjustment generator (34) continually
adjusts the operation of the frequency adjuster (22) based upon
the relative phase difference between a reference oscillation
(12) and a feedback oscillation (14) in order to vary the
sensitivity of the DPLL (10). When the reference oscillation
(12) and the feedback oscillation (14) are relatively in phase,
the sensitivity of the DPLL (10) is low. Oppositely, when the
reference oscillation (12) and the feedback oscillation (14)
move out of phase, the sensitivity of the DPLL (10) increases.

Abstract: The cabin (1) incorporates an arrangement for the supply of warm air and for the supply of steam. Seats (13), for the users of the cabin, are made from lattice work or incorporate air through holes. The seats are spaced a short distance from the walls (11) of the cabin. Heat storing material (15,17), e.g. in the form of stones, is placed under and immediately behind the seat. Water (19) is sprayed onto this material. A rotary air circulator (135) is mounted on the ceiling of the cabin. The blades of the rotor cause the rising air which is charged with steam to be fed down with a radial component to the occupants of the seats. The radial component of the flow is generated by a dome shaped guide (143) which is mounted above the rotor.

a first channel (A), including a binarization circuit (72) to binarize the gray-scale digital image and
produce a binary image, and a pattern matcher (78) for receiving the binary image and producing
both a tag signal, active only when a segment of the binary image matches one of a set of template
patterns, and a first high-addressability enhanced output signal; a second channel (B), parallel to the
first channel (A), for receiving the gray-scale digital image and producing a second high-addressability
enhanced output signal; and a selector (88), responsive to the tag signal generated by
the first channel pattern matcher, for selecting the high-addressability enhanced output signals from
the first or second channels (A,B) and outputting the selected output signals to a marking engine to

Abstract: Compressed, purified, vaporous air and liquid air streams are introduced into a higher pressure rectification column 18 through inlets 20 and 34, respectively. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid flows from an outlet 46 of the higher pressure rectification column 18 via a reboiler 48 and an expansion valve 50 into a vessel 52. The oxygen-enriched liquid is partially vaporised in a boiler 54 located in the vessel 52. The residual liquid flows via an outlet 61 from the vessel 52 and a condenser 64 to an inlet 66 to a lower pressure rectification column 56 in which oxygen and nitrogen products are separated. A stream of vapour flows from the boiler 54 through an outlet 58 from the vessel 52 to a pipeline 60 which leads the air back for compression with incoming air. A greater yield of oxygen, and, if separated, argon is made possible by this recycle. <IMAGE>

real beam currents in the colour picture tube, and which
contains a comparator/integrator (15) which compares a
sum of these current pictures (13) with a beam current
information item (I CRT ) for the purpose of controlling the
R, G, B beam currents and/or the picture sharpness. Gamma
correction (12) is carried out in the circuit. The
circuit may be of analogue or digital construction and

Abstract: A telephone communication method capable of promoting the

terminal (11), a first gateway (12) accommodating the terminal
accesses a DNS (Domain Name System) server (16) via a UDP (User

gateway (12) inquires the DNS server (16) of the IP address of a

be called, using an office number assigned to the telephone terminal
(15) as a host name. The DNS server (16) returns the IP address of
the gateway (14) to the gateway (12) via the UDP channel (141). In
response, the gateway (12) selects its own IP address for speech
transfer and sends a call connection request to the gateway (14) on
