Abstract: La présente invention concerne une source de puissance, un convertisseur de puissance et un générateur de radiofréquences et de micro-ondes. La source de puissance comprend une cellule permettant de catalyser l'hydrogène atomique pour libérer de l'énergie et pour former de nouvelles espèce d'hydrogène et de compositions de matière renfermant de nouvelles formes d'hydrogène. Ces composés comprennent au moins une espèce d'hydrogène neutre, positive ou négative pourvue d'une énergie de liaison supérieure à celle de sa propre espèce d'hydrogène ordinaire correspondante, ou supérieure à n'importe quelle espèce d'hydrogène pour laquelle l'espèce d'hydrogène ordinaire correspondante est instable ou n'est pas observée. L'énergie libérée par la catalyse de l'hydrogène produit un plasma dans la cellule, tel que le plasma du catalyseur et de l'hydrogène. Le convertisseur de puissance et le générateur de radiofréquences et de micro-ondes comprend une source de champ magnétique appliqué à la cellule. Les électrons et ions du plasma gravitent autour d'un trajet circulaire situé dans un plan transversal au champ magnétique appliqué pour obtenir une intensité de champ suffisante à une fréquence cyclotronique d'ions φc qui est indépendante de la vitesse de l'ion. Les ions émettent un rayonnement électromagnétique avec une intensité maximale à la fréquence cyclotronique. La puissance contenue dans la cellule est convertie en rayonnement électromagnétique cohérent. Un générateur préféré de micro-ondes cohérentes est un gyrotron. Le rayonnement électromagnétique tel que les micro-ondes émises par les ions est reçu par au moins une antenne de réception résonante du convertisseur de puissance puis injecté à une charge électrique comme par exemple une charge résistive ou rayonnée telle qu'une source de radiofréquences ou de micro-ondes. En outre, on peut moduler le signal radiofréquences ou micro-ondes pendant la diffusion en régulant l'intensité du plasma en fonction du temps, ou en régulant le signal de manière électronique.

Abstract: There is provided a production line having a plurality of
mounting apparatus (1, 2, 3) of electronic components in
which the overall production efficiency is sustained by an
alternation scheme when a mounting apparatus (1, 2, 3) has a
long cycle time due to a high malfunction rate. At a predetermined
timing, the rate of unsuccessful pick-up procedure
for an electronic component is compared to a predetermined
value. If the rate is higher than the value, CPU (10) finds
out if the mounting apparatus (2), or (3) is available as an
alternate. When the alternate is the apparatus (2), CPU (10)
changes the command parameter of the particular mounting procedure,
stored in RAM (12), from "M" to "S", and stops mounting
the same component. In the mean time, the mounting apparatus
(2) accepts the alternate request from the apparatus
(1), changes the command parameter as required, and mounts
the same component on a print circuit board.

Abstract: A high-speed network printer apparatus can be
used in common by clients having different communication
protocols and can sort out printing jobs into the
order of clients. Printing information is supplied from a
client 52 which may be a personal computer or a work station
through a connector of the printer apparatus. A LAN
interface driver 216 receives the printing information and
identifies a communication protocol by which the printing
information is transferred. A communication protocol
controller 21-3 to 2-6 receives printing information in accordance with
a predetermined protocol. A spooling controller 21-8, which is
coupled to a storage unit 24 which stores the received printing
information, creates a queue for printing jobs. A printer
controller reads out from the storage unit the printing
information corresponding to a printing job of the highest
priority which is designated by the queue, and forms a dot
image on the basis of the printing information. A printing
mechanism 23 prints the image on paper. A mailbox (51, Fig. 40) stores
printed paper into a designated bin. A printing job table JBTB
is provided in the printer apparatus, in which each row is
allotted to one printing job which includes a field for
storing an emulation program name. A registering unit 122
judges whether or not there is a another printing job having
the same emulation program name to expedite the printing
process.

is useful for automating fragment analysis and quality assessment.
The automation enables a business model based on usage, since it
replaces (rather than assists) labor. This analysis also provides

Abstract: The methods and apparatus divide at least a part of the current frame (320) into
blocks and then perform a first sub-encoding step on a block (10). Thereafter a second sub-encoding
step (20) is performed on the first sub-encoded block whereby the second sub-encoding

prediction from a reference frame (310). Then the same steps are performed on another
block of the part of the current frame. 
     Typically, the framed data will be video frames for transmission over a transmission

made dependent upon the characteristics or limitations, e.g. bandwidth limitation, of
the channel. In addition, the current frame may be discarded based on the predicted
