Abstract: The method involves constructing a chronological series of arrival times of impulsions or a block of successive impulsions contained in a received signal. Resemblance value is calculated between the series and a predetermined chronological sequence of arrival times coding data for temporary lags between the series and the sequence, where the value represents correlation between the series and the sequence for the given temporary lag. The data is identified in the series, if the value for one of lag exceeds a predetermined threshold. An independent claim is also included for a receiver for receiving a signal coded by a pulse position modulation.

Abstract: A liquid droplet flight device is provided that moves an ink or the like using a comparatively low voltage and stably causes flight of even a high viscosity ink or the like. When causing droplets of a liquid inside a liquid retaining section (4) to fly onto a medium (17) transported between liquid droplet discharge means (2) and an opposing electrode (3) in the liquid droplet flight device, a high voltage is applied to the flight electrode (7) from a bias power source to generate an electric field between the flight electrode and the opposing electrode. On/off control of flight control means is performed in this state to apply a drive voltage of a low voltage to an EW drive electrode (9) from a drive power source such that the liquid inside a slit (12) moves to a leading end portion of the flight electrode due to an electrowetting phenomenon, and the liquid that has moved to the leading end portion of the flight electrode flies toward the opposing electrode through the electric field such that a liquid droplet lands on the medium.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for selecting input video signals in a video conference for transmission. The method bases its selection decision on the momentary voice activity of the participants, but does so while observing constraints aimed at: 
¢ improving stability of the image seen by each participant; 
¢ decreasing flickering of the image; 
¢ choosing comfortable and helpful swapping times between different image configurations; and 
¢ reflecting the importance which is attributed to persons having a higher past average activity in a natural conference.  In one embodiment of the invention, the set of constraints includes an override, by which one or more participants can be selected irrespectively of the selection decision.  In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, there is provided video selector hardware comprising units to perform the steps of the method.
