Abstract: The invention relates to decoding an algebraic block
code used for the purpose of channel coding. One object
of the invention is to indicate an efficient way, which
is simplified by comparison with the prior art, for
decoding algebraic block codes used for channel coding
for digital data transmission. The invention proposes
for this purpose a method, a receiving device and a
computer program in such a way that a received word (r)
is sampled at predeterminable interpolation points
(α 0 , ..., α n-1 ) in order to obtain symbols (r 0 , ...,. r n-1 )
contained in the received word (r), coefficients (R 1 )
for the purpose of forming a syndrome polynomial
(R [1] (X)) are obtained by applying a discrete Fourier
transformation to the symbols (r 0 ,...,. r n-1 ) and an
error position search is carried out on the basis of
the syndrome polynomial (R [1]  (X)) with the defined
introduction of erasures.

appliance having a high current drawing element by
preventing a large in-rush current through the
appliance comprising initially supplementing (200)the
resistance across the said current drawing element in
the appliance when the said element is first

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for encoding video signals corresponding to a sequence of frames constituted either from video-type images or film-type images. These film-type images are obtained by means of the 3 : 2 pull-down technique involving a subdivision of each film frame into two fields and a duplication of two fields within each group of four subdivided frames. According to the invention, the encoding step of the signals is preceded by a preprocessing step that comprises the sub-steps of : (A) thresholding the eight absolute values of the successive pixel-to-pixel differences between fields of the same parity ; (B) measuring the density of '1' (resp.'0') per block of m x n pixels of the field structure, said measure leading to mark each pixel as 1 or 0 ; (C) detecting in any group of ten successive fields within the preprocessed signals thus obtained, the film pattern formed by said duplicated fields ; (D) switching said preprocessed signals from a first encoding mode to a second one, when said film pattern is detected, or from the second one to the first one, when it is not detected ; (E) encoding said switched signals according to the first mode or to the second mode.

Abstract: Eddy current braking apparatus includes an array of spaced apart permanent magnets (180, 182, 184) and a plurality of flux steering magnets (190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200) may be disposed in gaps between spaced apart permanent magnets. The flux steering magnets (190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200) are oriented in a manner to provide a steering flux polarity that is rotated about 90 with respect to a polarity magnet flux of the spaced apart permanent magnets (180, 182, 184) in order to increase the flux density in the air gap which results in better performance of the brake. Alternatively, cubic magnets (270) may be used with each magnet being arranged to provide a change in flux polarity between adjoining magnets. An electrically conductive member is provided for engaging the magnetic flux provided by the array of permanent magnets and the magnets and conductive member are mounted for enabling relative motion between the magnet and the conductive member to produce eddy currents in the conductive member and resulting in a braking force between the magnets and the conductive member.

terminates at the master communication device and wireless
telephone communication can be established between that
telephone apparatus and a slave communication device by

master communication device, and does not require particular
processing such as authentication on the host station side. To
switch between a first state in normal times in which a
transmission/reception means 5 of a master communication device
1 is turned on and transmission/reception means 5 of respective
slave communication devices 2 are turned off and a second state
at the time of control delegation in which the
transmission/reception means 5 of the master communication
device 1 is turned off and only the transmission/reception means
5 of any one of the slave communication devices which is a subject
of control delegation is turned on, a control means 6 of the
slave communication device 2 normally turns off the
transmission/reception means 5 to be in an output prohibited
state in which output of a radio signal is prohibited, and turns
on the transmission/reception means 5 to enter an output 
permitted state in which a radio signal is output using the
wireless telephone line when a short-range wireless
communication means 4 receives a terminating control delegation
signal transmitted from the master communication device 1
destined for itself in association with occurrence of a reason
of terminating control delegation during wireless telephone
communication between the master communication device 1 and
a telephone apparatus outside the network, and controls the
transmission/reception means 5 to again turn off the
transmission/reception means 5 to return to the output prohibited
state when a control delegation completion reason occurs in the
output permitted state.
