Abstract: A method and apparatus for driving piezoelectric units of an ink jet recording head (51) to control the ink jet recording head (51) to jet ink droplets having uniform sizes and at uniform jetting velocity, without being influenced by any change in the temperature of the surrounding environment. In one embodiment, two constant current sources (45,46) are employed provide driving voltages (V s ) which charge and discharge a capacitor (C), and the voltage of the capacitor is amplified to provide the voltage for driving the piezoelectric units. In another embodiment, a digital output from a counter (114), having a clock frequency controlled in accordance with the temperature of the environment, is converted into an analog voltage signal rising or falling in stages. This analog voltage signal is amplified to provide a driving voltage for driving the piezoelectric units.

Abstract: Receiver for receiving a transmission signal comprising N frequency multiplexed data modulated carriers, having a good comprise between insensitivity to multipath reception and receiver complexity, and which may enable a reduction in transmission bandwidth and transmitter power. In such a receiver modulation signals of the carriers are supplied by a frequency multiplex demodulator to a symbol detection device via an equalizer device. The equalizer device compensates distortion in the modulation signals supplied thereto, such that the symbol detection device may detect the transmitted data with reduced error probability. When the transmission signal reaches the receiver with different delay times, this distortion is mainly a kind of cross-talk between the modulation of adjacent carriers. Therefore substantial compensation is achieved by combining the modulation signal of a carrier with signals representative of the data of the adjacent carriers. In the receiver these signals may be obtained from the multiplex signal path between the frequency multiplex demodulator output and the output of the symbol detection device.

Abstract: In a scaling method of interlaced video signals suitable for layered coding, interpolation process is restricted within a frame where the interpolation of one field in a frame is derived from the same field and its opposite field in the same frame. The first field is converted to a first progressive image such that an interpolated line in the first field is formed by an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the first field plus an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the second field where one of these lines is co-sited with the interpolated line in the first field. Similarly, the second field is converted to a second progressive image such that an interpolated line in the second field is formed by an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the second field plus an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the first field where one of the lines in the first field is co-sited with the interpolated line in the second field. The first and second progressive images are then resampled vertically according to a predetermined resampling ratio m/n, where m and n are integers with n indicating the number of output samples out of m input samples. The sum of the weights for filtering the lines in the opposite field is zero.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for processing geophysical data that have been gathered over irregular topography. According to the method, a datum is established that lies above the highest topographic peak. The data are time-shifted from the surface to the datum using a replacement velocity that is an extrapolation of the underlying formation velocity. The wavefields beneath the surface are forwardly modeled using a modeling velocity substantially equal to zero. Between the surface and the datum, the wavefields are upwardly modeled using the replacement velocity.
