IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: An image processing technique performs processing for
finding a first image by using a second image having a
smaller number of pixels than the first image and a third
image having a smaller number of pixels than the second
image. The image processing apparatus receives and stores
the first image in a first hierarchical memory (101), and
classifies reference pixels, which are pixels of the first
image, in a classification unit (104) into predetermined
classes in accordance with properties of pixels of the
second or third image, respectively stored in second or
third hierarchical memories (102, 103), corresponding to
the reference pixels.

Abstract: Cis/trans Tilidine base with an enhanced content of the trans isomer is prepared by mixing a substantially pure cis Tilidine base with water under acidic conditions, preferably using phosphoric acid, at pH values between 2 to 6. Alternatively the substantially pure cis Tilidine base is mixed with a solvent, especially diisopropylethylamine or dimethylformamide under basic conditions at pH values of from 8 to 14. The reaction mixtures thus formed are heated to yield isomerised cis/trans Tilidine base with an enhanced content of the trans isomer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande de flux et des procédés d'utilisation associés, permettant d'obtenir une longévité et une fiabilité améliorées sans mécanismes complexes. Dans un mode de réalisation décrit, une duse destinée à être utilisée dans un puits souterrain comprend un ensemble d'éléments de duse pouvant être ouvert par manipulation d'une cage tubulaire interne. On déplace la cage interne de façon à la sortir d'un manchon externe qui empêche les fluide de s'écouler à travers les ouvertures formées dans une partie latérale de la cage interne. A mesure que la cage interne est retirée de l'intérieur du manchon, la rétention opérée par le manchon sur l'écoulement de fluide à travers les ouvertures diminue.

Abstract: The method involves varying the axial and radial clamping characteristics between the rotary part (2) and bearing (4,5). The characteristics are varied in a controlled manner by reversibly altering the radial extent and/or pressure on the rotary part of a radial adjustment unit of piezoelectrically active material. The characteristics can be varied according to rotary part vibrations and this changes the transfer function of the vibrations, especially the sound waves causing them, between the rotary part and the bearing or a component (7) in contact with the bearing. Independent claims are also included for a tunable rotary part and a shaft bearing.

Abstract: Good low-temperature combustion is ensured even at the time
of a change in temperature of intake gas supplied to a
combustion chamber or the like. Either a first combustion
mode or a second combustion mode is selected. During the
first combustion mode, the amount of recirculated exhaust gas
supplied to the combustion chamber (5) is larger than an
amount of EGR gas corresponding to a peak generation amount
of soot, and soot is hardly generated. During the second
combustion mode, the amount of EGR gas in the combustion
chamber (5) is smaller than the amount of EGR gas
corresponding to the peak generation amount of soot. While
combustion is performed according to the first combustion
mode, the EGR rate is increased in proportion to a rise in
temperature of intake gas supplied to the combustion chamber
(5) or engine coolant temperature which temperatures are
detected through detecting means (60, 61).

Abstract: The method involves measuring the hob temperature and switch-on time each time the hob is used, to form pairs of temperature/time values. Temperature/time loads are stored as cumulative loads since the start of use of the hob. A predetermined sequence of pairs of temperature/time values for an assumed frequency of use are stored as a reliable temperature/time load during the assumed lifetime of the hob. The stored cumulative time/temperature load is compared at regular intervals with the stored reliable temperature/time load, and a limit value for the operating temperature is set based on the comparison, in order to maintain a reliable temperature/time load of the hob for the assumed lifetime. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for performing the method.

Abstract: A method of transmitting timing critical data via an asynchronous channel. The
timing critical data can be an MPEG transport stream of packets. The asynchronous channel
can be a computer or telephone network, a digital storage media such as a digital VCR, or a
digital interface. The packets are processed serially through a remuxer to obtain a constant rate
and delivered to and consumed by one or more target decoders, for example, inside a TV set
or in a set-top decoder. To prevent overflow of the transport buffers inside these decoders, a
single monitor-scheduler is provided which monitors the transport buffers and delivers to each
the packets wanted scheduled so as to avoid buffer overflow and loss of information. The
method also includes restamping the transport packets with new PCRs. The remuxing scheme
is simple enough to implement on DVCR or other consumer applications. Also described is a
method for recording the output stream which selects out desired program material and tags the
transport packets with SOA tags.

Abstract: A dual-mode filter network for an Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL) has a first frequency response when the
Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone is on-hook and
has a second frequency response when the POTS telephone is
off-hook. A detector is used to determine the on-hook/off-hook
status. The dual-mode filter network may be situated at
the central unit and connected to a Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) while the detector at the remote unit connected

such case, the detector outputs a signal which is transmitter
via the twisted pair on an overhead channel. Alternatively,
the dual-mode filter and the detector may be co-located at
either the central unit or at the remote unit. Regardless of
where it, or the detector are located, the dual-mode filter
network has at least different combinations of components

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring a hydrocarbon flame to determine and possibly adjust its
combustion stoichiometry comprises three sensors (6,8 and 10), of which one (10) is
responsive to electromagnetic radiation emitted by the flame in a narrow wavelength
band corresponding to a transient species only existing for a short time within the
combustion region (e.g. 310 nm corresponding to OH). The other two sensors (6,8) are
responsive to radiation emitted by the flame in narrow wavelength bands corresponding
to non-transient species. Thus, one of the other two sensors (6) can be responsive to IR
radiation emitted by a product of combustion (e.g. H 2 O at 2.9 µm), and the second one
(8) can be responsive to radiation in a narrow wavelength band corresponding to a
different product of combustion or to emission from the hot hydrocarbon fuel in the flame
(at 3.35 µm). The ratio of the output corresponding to the radiation emitted by the
transient species to the output of one of the other sensors is found to vary significantly
with the air/fuel ratio in the combustion region. The ratio produced by comparing the
outputs of the other two sensors (6,8), responsive to the non-transient species, is also
measured. This does not vary significantly with the air/fuel ratio. In this way, a central
processing unit (24) can analyse the results of the two comparisons, compare the result
with stored data, indicate the air/fuel ratio, and can also automatically control the air/fuel
ratio. The CPU (24) can compare the power value from each sensor signal in a
predetermined frequency band. Instead, the cross-correlation coefficients can be
measured for the pairs of signals compared.
