Inventor: VITALI ANDREA LORENZO
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 2004-03-18
Abstract: A method for encoding and/or decoding video
signals, including the operations of generating at a
transmitter side a multiple descriptions vector (   d   )
associated to a pixel values vector (   p   ) of the video
signals and decoding at a receiver side available
descriptions vector (   d   ') for reconstructing the pixel
values vector (   p   ). The operation of generating a
multiple descriptions vector (   d   ) includes the steps of
obtaining the pixel values vector (   p   ) by selecting a
group (G) of pixels in a picture (PK) of the video
signal and applying an encoding matrix ( M ) to the
pixel values vector (   p   ). The decoding operation
includes the step of applying, the available
descriptions vector (   d   ') in order to obtain the pixel
values vector (   p   ) a decoding matrix ( M ') that is in a
inversion relationship with the encoding matrix ( M ).

Abstract: A type of a broadcasting system of a digital
stream signal to be recorded is checked. When a
recorded digital stream signal is present, the
broadcasting system of the recorded signal is
determined from APP_NAME, and the broadcasting
system of the recorded signal is compared with the
broadcasting system of a signal to be newly recorded.
When these broadcasting systems are matched, an object
is added after the recorded ESOB file, and when they
are not matched, an ESOB file of the corresponding
format is newly created, and the object is recorded
in this file. Accordingly, conforming to various
broadcasting systems, the invention can provide
a mechanism allowing coexistence of recorded contents
by various broadcasting systems in one optical disk.

IPC: B42F13/24
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: A binding tool of such a type that linear movement of an operation plate is transformed into rotation by a cam function of a shaft to open/close binding rings has a problem that a closing force of the binding rings is not sufficient and biting of a loose leaf occurs. In the binding tool for transforming the linear movement of the operation plate into the rotation by the cam function of the shaft to open/close the binding rings, an engagement plate (9) protruding toward the operation plate (5) is disposed on at least one portion along the longitudinal direction in a shaft (2) supporting movable-side binding rings. The operation plate (5) has at least one cutout (10) and a bottom-surface-side engaging portion (14) in a movement range corresponding to the engagement plate (9). When the operation plate (5) is in a push-in position, the engagement plate (9) engages with the engaging portion (14) of the operation plate (5). When the engagement plate (9) moves to a position other than the push-in position, the cutout (10) is aligned in the position of the engagement plate (9) to thereby release the engagement plate (9).

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique for solving the following problem by properly controlling the flow of gas such as air (oxidizing gas): a problem that the degree of reduction cannot be increased due to the air entering a feedstock-feeding zone or a discharging zone. The technique is a method for producing reduced iron. The method includes a feedstock-feeding step of feeding a feedstock containing a carbonaceous reductant and an iron oxide-containing material into a rotary hearth furnace, a heating/reducing step of heating the feedstock to reduce iron oxide contained in the feedstock into reduced iron, a melting step of melting the reduced iron, a cooling step of cooling the molten reduced iron, and a discharging step of discharging the cooled reduced iron, these steps being performed in that order in the direction that a hearth is moved. The furnace includes flow rate-controlling partitions, arranged therein, for controlling the flow of furnace gas and the furnace gas in the cooling step is allowed to flow in the direction of the movement of the hearth with the partitions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration capable of effectively preventing an encrypted content stored on an information-recording medium from being misused. In this configuration, a seed (seed 2) required for generating a block key to be applied to a process to decode an encrypted content is stored as information encrypted by using another block key Kb1. In addition, in a configuration where the seed (seed 2) needs to be transferred from a device to another, both the seed (seed 2) and a recording key K2 are transferred from the device to the other as information encrypted by using a session key. In such configurations, it is difficult to analyze the seed (seed 2) by acquisition of data from the information-recording medium or a data transmission line. Thus, difficulties to analyze a key generated by using the seed and analyze an encryption algorithm are increased. As a result, protection of contents at a high level of security can be implemented.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for measuring pressure and/or other physical data, such as the temperature, elongation, torsion and/or bending at any point along the length of an elongate carrier tube by means of one or more coiled optical fibers that are embedded in the wall the tube such that deformation of the carrier tube induces strain in each optical fiber. In use a pulsed laser light source transmits a sequence of light pulses of a selected wavelength from an upstream end of each fiber into a coiled substantially uniform light guide channel provided by said optical fiber and a light sensor assembly detects any shift in wavelength of the light pulses backscattered from various locations along the length of said light guide channel. A signal processing assembly then calculates a strain pattern along the length of the fiber, and a pressure difference between the interior and exterior of the tube, at various locations along the length of the carrier tube. Preferably several fibers are wound at different pitch angles and in different directions and at different diameters in the wall of the carrier tube and the signal processing assembly calculates bending, torsion and both radial and axial deformation of the carrier tube on the basis of a comparison of the strain patterns induced on different optical fibers.
