IPC: G03C1/015
Filed: 1996-03-09
Abstract: An improved method for the desalting of silver halide photograhic emulsions is disclosed comprising the controlled addition of washing liquid, and the presence in the precipitation vessel of a level detector which actuates a control unit which itself commands the iterative opening and closing of a control valve in the permeate stream in such a way that the amount of permeate drained is equal to the amount of washing liquid added. The method yields reproducible results for several emulsion batches independently of the age and physical status of the ultrafiltration module.

IPC: H03J7/04
Filed: 1996-02-21
Abstract: A zero intermediate frequency radio receiver that comprises mixing stages, an A to D converter, a digital demodulator, a carrier tracking system and a carrier nulling system is disclosed. The mixing stages receive FM or PM signals and produce analogue in-phase and quadrature baseband signals which are in turn converted to digital baseband signals by the A to D convertor. DC offsets in the baseband signals are removed by high pass filtering prior to demodulation. Tracking enables the baseband signals to be maintained at a centre frequency of substantially zero hertz, while signal strength at this frequency is minimised or nulled before the DC offset filtering. Information which might otherwise be removed by the filtering is thereby retained in the baseband signals, which are relatively less distorted.

Abstract: Cette balance sensible à la charge ainsi que les cellules de pesages à deux capteurs destinées à être utilisées avec ladite balance, isolent et mesurent les effets résiduels rejetés et éliminent ceux-ci de la valeur de sortie de la balance. Grâce à cette isolation des effets résiduels rejetés, on peut améliorer la précision globale de la balance en rendant celle-ci pratiquement insensible à la position d'un objet sur son plateau. En outre, lorsqu'une balance comporte plusieurs cellules de pesage couplées en parallèle à un élément recevant la charge et espacées les unes des autres dans le sens du vecteur de la force, les valeurs de sorties de ces cellules peuvent être effectivement réduites, afin d'annuler les effets de friction inhérents à la balance.

Abstract: A dynamically configurable video signal processing system partitions and encodes data using a variable number of data segments and variable data resolution. The system partitions data into a variable number of data segments by predicting, as a function of the data rate, first and second distortion factors for the data partitioned into first and second numbers of data segments (515-530). The first and second distortion factors are mutuallly compared and the data is partitioned into the number of data segments which exhibits the lower distortion factor value. First and second distortion factors for the data encoded with first and second data resolutions are also predicted (515-530). The first and second distortion factors are similarly compared (540) and the data is encoded with the resolution exhibiting the lower distortion factor value.
