Abstract: An ink jet recording method using two liquids is
provided which can realize good images on ink
composition-non-absorbing recording media. An ink
composition and a reaction solution are deposited onto a
recording medium which does not substantially absorb the
ink composition, thereby performing printing. The ink
composition comprises a pigment and resin emulsion
having a minimum film-forming temperature of 20 °C or
below. The content of the polymer particulates in the
ink composition is not less than 5% by weight. The
weight ratio of the polymer particulates to the pigment
is 1 to 20. The reaction solution contains a polyvalent
metal salt. Utilization of both the ink composition and
the reaction solution can realize good images on non-absorbing
recording media.

Abstract: An image signal read out from an original is binary-coded
on the basis of a binary-coding threshold value. The
binary-coding threshold value is calculated by making a
histogram representing a frequency distribution of tones of
the image signal, calculating the value of a peak tone at which
the frequency is maximized, calculating as a first tone at which
the frequency becomes equal to a predetermined level on the
lower tone side of the peak tone, calculating a reference
binary-coding threshold value by adding to the peak tone the
difference between the first tone and the peak tone, and
determining the binary-coding threshold value on the basis of
the reference binary-coding threshold value.

Abstract: A signal processing device and a signal processing method can accurately detect CMs out of broadcast signals and also be used for storing, accessing, retrieving and viewing/listening to CMs. CM detecting section (202) detects CM sections out of a broadcast signal. CM extracting section (201) extracts the signal part for the CM section from the broadcast signal on the basis of the CM section detection signal (202a) of the CM detecting section (202) and CM characteristics extracting section (203) extracts the characteristic value of the CM. Then, CM recording section (205) records the signal of the CM section and the characteristic value. CM index generating section (206) generates CM index information by using the signal of the CM section and the characteristic value and characteristics comparing section(204) determines agreement/disagreement of CMs. CM viewing section (208) displays CM retrieval information and reproduce the CM signal from the CM recording scanning (205) in response to the instruction of the user (209). As a result, the user (209) can view, listen to and retrieve the desired CM.

Abstract: A method and system for processing one or more TDMs for communication over IP
networks, such as the Internet, includes encapsulating ATM cells (packets) using AAL1 cells
within UDP over IP frames to provide synchronous bit streams into fixed size cells. This allows
for an IP header to be added to the packets, with such packets forwarded to its destination host
across the IP network. The destination regenerates the clock, decrypts/strips the IP header and
delivers a synchronous bit stream. Furthermore, an adaptive clock is provided for clock transfer
across the network. The adaptive clock regenerates the far end T1/E1 receive clock out of the
incoming arrival frame rate. Frames arriving from the IP network are stored in a buffer and taken
out for TDM stream assembly.

Abstract: The invention consists in a method for ascertaining the mutual visibility of two
points (A, B), comprising at least the following functional steps:
     determine the position of the above-mentioned points (A, B) and trace the route
that joins them;   if the distance between the two points (A, B) is not beyond the optical range of
the instruments available, take up position on one of the points (B, A respectively)
and check that the other point (A, B respectively) is visible;   otherwise, take up position at an intermediate point (A') belonging to the
above-mentioned route and check that both points (A, B) are visible from said
intermediate point (A');   if there is no intermediate point (A') belonging to the above route from which
both points (A, B) are visible, move along (or parallel to) the above route and
check that there are no obstacles along the path.   
     This method is advantageously implemented by means of an adequately
equipped helicopter, which permits determination of the position of points that
would otherwise be impossible to reach.

Abstract: A cart management apparatus for retaining and vending carts such as luggage carts, shopping carts, and strollers, includes a retaining rail for receiving cart keys disposed on the carts, a rotatable paddlewheel including a plurality of paddles, at least one of which projects into the retaining rail to provide an obstruction therein, an electromagnetic brake coupled to the paddlewheel to selectively inhibit rotation of the paddlewheel and restrict removal of cart keys from the rail, and a one-way clutch, also coupled to the paddlewheel to allow free rotation of the paddlewheel in a return direction to allow cart keys to be inserted into the retaining rail when carts are returned to the apparatus. The preferred apparatus may be used with existing carts which are retrofit with cart keys that are suitable for being retained within the rail. Furthermore, a plurality of electronic sensors are utilized to detect the removal and return of carts to the apparatus and thereby prevent theft or rewards dispensed by the system. In particular, one such sensor utilizes a transmitter and a receiver which are coupled to a transmitter and receiver of a cart key located in close proximity thereto to determine whether a valid cart key is being detected by the sensor, as well as the unique identity of that cart key, so that the apparatus may maintain a queue of the carts retained therein. A control unit in the preferred apparatus utilizes a non-volatile audit memory mounted in the apparatus for storing system parameters such as statistical and configuration information, whereby if the control unit is replaced the system parameters may be restored to the new control unit.
