Patent EP-0790602-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HINOKI KIYONORI
IPC: G11B5/73
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: This invention produces a magnetic recording medium
by applying a magnetic paint for the formation of the
magnetic layer (6) and a paint for the formation of the
backcoat layer (4) severally to the nonmagnetic support (5),
drying the applied layers of the paints, optionally
subjecting the layers to a calendering treatment,
performing a curing treatment on the layers thereby
adjusting the surface of the backcoat layer to a surface
roughness (Ra) B  in the range of 10 nm to 30 nm, and
thereafter subjecting the surface of the backcoat layer
subsequent to the curing treatment to a polishing treatment
by the use of a lapping tape (13) the abrasive layer (14) of
which has a surface roughness (Ra) L  in the range of 150 nm
to 550 nm. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the
Mohs hardness of the abrasive grains contained in the
abrasive layer is set within a prescribed range and the
conditions of the curing treatment are fixed within
prescribed ranges. The magnetic recording medium produced
by this invention, therefore, never suffers the surface of
the backcoat layer to sustain a scratch, provides thorough
protection against the occurrence of instantaneous
clogging and DO, and exhibits a veritably excellent running
property (evinced particularly by the realization of low
torque against the POM guide).

Abstract: A video signal converter which converts a video signal to a required form of signal.
The required form of the signal is the display format for displaying the signal. The
input signal is converted to a digital signal and stored in a memory using the output
of a first clock pulse generator synchronized to the horizontal synchronizing signal
of the input signal. The digital signal is read out from the memory using the output
of a second clock pulse generator 6 synchronized to the vertical synchronizing
signal of the input signal from a position specified by the controller. The output
digital signal is then reconverted to an analog signal.

Abstract: An enhancement to the standard JPEG image data compression technique includes a step
of recording the length of each string of bits corresponding to each block of pixels in the original
image at the time of compression. The list of lengths of each string of bits in the compressed image
data is retained as an "encoding cost map" or ECM. The ECM, which is considerably smaller than
the compressed image data, can be transmitted or retained in memory separate from the
compressed image data along with some other accompanying information and is used as a "key" for
editing or segmentation of the compressed image data. The ECM, in combination with a map of DC
components of the compressed image, can also be used for substituting background portions of the
image with blocks of pure white data, in order to compress certain types of images even further.

Abstract: A secure metering vault for use with a host printing module via a secure
communication link includes a secure output device such as a light emitting diode
(LED) configured for outputting the available postal funds stored in the secure
metering module in response to a detected malfunction in the secure
communication link. The vault includes a processor that monitors the condition
of the secure communication link, and that controls the storage and updating of
the stored available postal funds in a nonvolatile memory. If a failure is detected
in the communication link, the processor outputs to the LED the stored value of
the available postal funds based upon a prescribed format, such as Morse code or
some other blinking pattern that is equivalent to the postal funds remaining in the
vault. Use of the secure output device to output the stored available postal funds
enables a user to recover the funds without tampering with the secure metering
module, which may otherwise cause self-destruction of the vault or deletion of the
available postal funds from memory.

Abstract: A register (205) of each pseudorandom number generating circuit (101) takes in and
holds a state data composed of a plurality of bits in synchronism with a clock pulse of a
clock signal. Function generator circuits (2021 and 2022) output data each composed of a
plurality of bits correspondingly to the state data held in the register (205). A selector (203)
selects a specific bit of either one of the two data output from the function generator
circuits on the basis of a pseudorandom number X i-1  generated by a preceding one of the
pseudorandom number generating circuits and outputs it as a pseudorandom number X i .
On the other hand, another selector (206) selects one of the data output from the function
generator circuits, except the specific bit thereof, according to the pseudorandom number
X i-1  generated by the preceding pseudorandom number generating circuit and supplies the
selected data to the register (205) as the state data. Thus, it is possible to easily generate
cryptographically highly safe pseudorandom numbers.

Abstract: At least the power portion of the transmitter and the front end of the receiver of
base station of a wireless communication system (70) are advantageously co-located with
the antenna (or antennae), typically atop a tower or other elevated feature. Such co-location
however exposes the electronics to lightning damage. This is avoided by
placement of the electronics and antenna (101) into lightning protection apparatus that is
transparent to rf radiation during lightning-quiescent conditions but is a Faraday cage
during a lightning strike, reverting to the transparent condition at the conclusion of the
strike. This is achieved by placement of the electronics and antenna inside a housing that
comprises a dielectric chamber (11, 12) filled with ionizable gas in contact with
electrodes (14, 15) selected such that, during a lightning strike, current can flow between
the electrodes.
