Abstract: A video editing system uses simple heuristics and parameters on video footage to
provide a condensed version of the footage. The editing system automatically provides
either a finished condensed version of the footage or selects a plurality of clips based on
the heuristics and parameters. The clips are optionally further edited by a user to produce
a condensed version. The condensed version is transferable to any desired media suitable
for storing video. A user interface enables the user to select heuristics to identify video
clips from the footage. Parameters are also be set to automatically edit the clips in a
desired manner. Temporal combinations of heuristics and parameters form templates,
which are used to assemble desired clips for selected types of events.

Abstract: To implement a CDMA receiving apparatus having a good reception quality and low power consumption. A delay profile using a desired constraint length is generated by a delay profile generating unit (11) from received signal wave-form data recorded on a received signal wave-form buffer unit (4). Several demodulation paths are selected at peak position of the delay profile by the path search unit (12). Demodulation symbols which are generated from received signal wave-form data of each demodulation path by the channel demodulating unit (14) are brought into in-phase by an adjustment angle which is obtained by the channel estimating unit (13). If the reception quality which is measured by the reception quality measuring unit (16) is lower than a predetermined value for a combined demodulation symbol which is path combined by RAKE unit (15), the combination of said selected demodulation paths or the constraint length is changed to repeat the demodulation operation of the same received signal wave-form data. The power to the radio unit (3) and the received signal wave-form buffer unit (4) is turned on with the timing of receiving stand-by information, which is counted by the wake-up counter (5) .

Abstract: An eight-bit RISC based microcontroller (10) includes an eight-bit register file having a dedicated arithmetic logic unit ALU (ALU-2), in addition to general purpose eight-bit ALU (ALU-1). The register file further includes means for combining a pair of registers (100) to provide a logical sixteen-bit register for directing addressing. The dedicated ALU (ALU-2) is a sixteen-bit ALU which provides certain arithmetic functions for a register pair, thus alleviating the computational burdens that would otherwise be imposed on the general purpose register eight bit ALU (ALU-1). A further feature of the invention is an inclusion of a paging register (RAM X, RAM Y, RAM Z) which is combined with the contents of the logical sixteen-bit register to provide an even greater addressing range. Yet another feature of the eight-bit microcontroller of the present invention is the means for directly reading and writing to any bit position within the register file with a single instruction. This avoids having to perform various loads, shift and/or masking operations needed by prior art microcontrollers.
