Abstract: The system is arranged such that the video signals and the audio signals have separate diversity circuits for testing the received antenna signals. The input from the tuner Ä1Ü is decoded Ä2Ü with the colour difference signals entered into a memory module (3a,3b) for a line period. The luminance signal is entered into a separate memory Ä7Ü. As long as a diversity controller detects no antenna change the colour signals pass directly, and the luminance signals are applied, without delay, to a switch Ä6Ü. When a change is detected the signals are stored, and the luminance signal is delayed by the storage process.

Abstract: The invention provides means for dislodging an installed osteal
prostesis such as hip joint implanted in a femur. 
     A claw probe attachment (81) may be used to melt and extract the cement in small
quantities around the pheriphery of the end of the fragment to provide
the enlarged opening (53). The tool comprises a stem (82) having at its
distal end a small saucer shaped cup (81), having apertures (83)
therethrough, through which cement melted by untrasonic vibration of the
cup (81), driven through the stem (82), may pass. The tool can be
withdrawn periodically to extract cement or other material and thereby
to form the enlarged opening. In this way, it functions as a scraper to
provide or enlarge a space allowing engagement of an end of the broken
prosthesis by the extraction tool. Providing space allows, a tool having
a larger spoon shaped end may be inserted alongside the prosthesis
to engage beneath its distal end. 
     Having thus prepared the enlargement (53) in bone cement at the
proximal end of femur (52), and the depth  d   1  beyond the
breake responsible for the embedded fragment (50), all is in readiness
for use of a special tool bit Fig. 7 as a replacement for the chuck or
collet element (12) in any of the embodiments described.

Abstract: Apparatus for deriving from a motion picture film for transfer to a video recording medium (7, 8) a video signal having increased vertical resolution for display using progressive scanning. In the apparatus, a deriving system derives the video signal from the motion picture film; a flag signal generating circuit generates a flag signal indicating that the video signal is for display using progressive scanning; and a recording system (63) records the video signal and the flag signal in the recording medium (7, 8). In a method of deriving from an interlaced high-definition video signal an interlaced standard-definition video signal having increased vertical resolution, the interlaced high-definition video signal is converted into a progressive high-definition video signal. The number of pixels in the progressive high-definition video signal is reduced to provide a progressive standard-definition video signal, which is converted into the interlaced standard-definition video signal. An apparatus for reproducing a video signal recorded on a recording medium (7, 8) includes a system for reproducing (40) the video signal from the recording medium (7, 8), and a circuit (50) for extracting from the reproduced video signal a flag signal indicating a display scanning mode for the video signal. A display apparatus includes a circuit (43) for receiving a flag signal indicating a display scanning mode for the video signal, and for generating a control signal; and a circuit (56), responsive to the control signal, for displaying the video signal in the display scanning mode.

Abstract: A method of halftoning a sample value from an intensity
range including the steps of providing threshold arrays
having threshold values from distinct ranges, one of
which is the same as the intensity range, selecting the
one with the same range as the intensity range and using
the selected threshold array to halftone the sample
value. Embodiments may include the following features.
The threshold arrays are a first one having a first
threshold value range and a second one having a second
threshold value range that has more levels than does the
first threshold value range. The first threshold array
is built by scaling each value in the second threshold
array down to the range of the first threshold array.
The scaling is done by dividing by 257 and rounding up to
the next whole number. The first threshold array has a
threshold value range of zero to 255 and the second
threshold array has a threshold value range of zero to
65535 or zero to 4095. Tone correction is performed
using a transfer function mapping an 8-bit input sample
value to a tone-corrected output sample value having more
than 8 bits.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flat panel display or other electronic device comprising thin-film circuit elements includes the steps of depositing and patterning a less conductive film (2) and metal film (1) to provide a laminated conductor, depositing and patterning semiconductor material to provide a circuit element island (50), and then directing an energy beam (100) towards the island (50) to crystallise the semiconductor material for the island (50). In order to protect the metal film (1) from the energy beam (100) the less conductive film (2) is deposited on the metal film (1), is of a semiconductor material absorptive of the energy beam (100), and is deposited to a thickness which is larger than its melt depth (d) when heated by the energy beam (100) during the crystallisation of the semiconductor material of the island (50). When the metal film (1) is not protected in this way, then the stresses occurring can degrade the integrity of the metal film (1) and any overlying insulating films (3) and/or semiconductor islands (50).
