Abstract: An optical connector comprises a plug housing (20) having a joining cavity (22) with bosses (22a,22b) formed on the inside walls (20a), an optical fiber protection member (40) having a plate-shaped base (42) which can be inserted into and pulled from the joining cavity (22) and a header housing (60) having a joining protrusion (62) which fits into the joining cavity (22). When the plug housing (20) and the header housing (60) are not connected, the front end of the optical fiber (24) is located within a through opening of the optical fiber protection member (40) which thus protects the optical fiber from damage. Upon mating of the header housing (60) with the plug housing (20), the optical fiber protection member (40) is urged rearwardly into the plug housing (20) to expose the optical fiber (24).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a mobile station, a positioning system and a mobile station. According to the invention, a mobile station (21) receives signals from at least two base stations (22, 23, 24) and determines time differences of the clocks of the received signals. The mobile station (21) sends information about the time differences to a positioning service center (26) of the mobile communication system which calculates the position of the mobile station (21) on the basis of the time difference information and base station coordinates and clock information. With the method it is possible to measure signals the strengths of which remain below the minimum decoding level. According to the invention, it is also possible to measure bursts containing short training sequencies to improve timing measurement accuracy and measuring speed. The time difference measurement results obtained are transmitted from the mobile station to a base station advantageously by encoding the results in a signalling channel (SACCH) burst. The method enables quick position measuring at short intervals without substantially increasing the load on the mobile station or on the air interface.

Abstract: In a method of measuring a focus of a cathode ray tube according to the present invention, a predetermined image is displayed at a predetermined position on the screen of the cathode-ray tube. A focussing voltage of the cathode ray tube is changed under a condition that a distance from a reference position to a predetermined position in the image is detected. A change state of the detected distance is displayed on a predetermined display means. Further, an image having representation of at least a vertical-direction line and a horizontal-direction line is employed as the predetermined image. A line sensor is located so as to cross both of the vertical-direction line and the horizontal-direction line to set a predetermined position of the line sensor as the reference position. A change of a first distance from the reference position to an edge of the vertical-direction line within the image read by the line sensor and a change of a second distance from the reference position to an edge of the horizontal-direction line within the image read by the line sensor are detected. The detected changes of the respective distances are displayed on orthogonal coordinates.

IPC: H04N7/26

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for compressing and decompressing digital television signals encoded in the PALplus system. A PALplus encoded television signal has video signals which have an aspect ratio of 16:9 compared to an aspect ratio of 4:3 in common use for standard PAL signals. To achieve this the picture height of the main video signal is reduced from 576 active lines to 430 active lines and the remaining 144 lines are used to transmit a low-level helper signal. 
     If a PALplus signal is to be transmitted through a digital video compression system using a standard PAL decoder, compression artefacts in the helper signal are amplified in the PALplus receiver to such an extent that the picture is severely degraded. To avoid the need and expense of a full PALplus encoder at the output of the compression decoder, the presence of the helper signal is detected by a line counter (27) and the helper signal is switched (26) into the channel used for the luminance signal whenever the presence of the helper signal is indicated by the line counter (27). The helper signal is thus separated from the main video signal. By this means a standard PAL compression decoder can be used while avoiding the severe picture degradation referred to which would accompany transmission of the helper signal through the main video signal channel.

Abstract: If there is any portion in channel bit data obtained on
converting a signal read out from a recording medium into a bilevel
signal which fails to satisfy a condition concerning a
minimum run length or a maximum run length of the same symbol,
the channel bit data is corrected to improve the bit error rate
to secure a skew margin. To this end, channel bit data not
satisfying a minimum run length d' of the same symbol is detected
by a (d'-1) detector 4 using n-tupled clocks obtained on n-tupling
channel clocks of playback data by a bit clock generator
2, where n is an integer not less than 2. A correction position
of the channel bit data having the run length of the same symbol
equal to (d'-1) is designated by a correction bit position
designating unit 5. A data correction unit 6 then corrects the
channel bit data so that the minimum run length of the same
symbol will be equal to d'.
