Abstract: A fault isolation system for use in a network in which bit errors resulting in detected code violation errors or disparity errors may be propagated from a first link to a second link of a network in which multiple serially coupled links may couple two devices. Errors in excess of a first threshold are detected at the receiving end of the first link, while errors in excess of a second threshold greater than the first threshold are detected at the receiving end of the second link. Errors are attributed to the first link in response to the detection of errors in excess of the thresholds on both links and are attributed to the link for which the threshold was exceeded in response to the detection of errors in excess of the threshold on only one of the links. If a substantial number of the bit errors resulting in the threshold being exceeded on the second link originated on the first link, the first threshold will also be exceeded with a high degree of probability. This prevents the erroneous identification of the second link as being the source of the fault where the fault actually originated from a condition on the first link.

Abstract: In a dynamic automatic loop for control of the overall gain of an input circuit of a superheterodyne receiver, the response time of the HF-AGC circuit of the TUNER, in response to the action of the TUNER DELAY circuit activated by the IF-AGC in the case of autonomously uncontrollable abrupt increases in the level of the antenna signal from the same HF-AGC of the TUNER, is markedly reduced using an additional TUNER DELAY PLUS circuit able to absorb for a determined interval of time, a discharge current from the storage capacitor the control voltage of the HF-AGC in addition to the discharge current absorbed by the existing TUNER DELAY circuit. The relevant intensity of this additional discharge current and its duration are optimized by way of suitable circuital arrangements in the design of said TUNER DELAY PLUS circuit. The response time is reduced without modifying the time constant of the HF-AGC, which cannot be freely reduced because of inter- and cross-modulation problems.

Abstract: This invention provides an image processing method and apparatus. According to this invention, contour line data when viewed from a the main scan direction are generated on the basis of the connection relationship between a target line element and adjacent line elements before and after the target line element in one direction of continuous line elements, and a direction of an area to be painted out. It is then set that a pixel position of an odd-numbered contour encountered in a scan operation in the main scan direction indicates a forward rotation position of the area, and that an adjacent pixel position in the main scan direction of an even-numbered contour encountered in the scan operation indicates a reverse rotation position of the area. Thereafter, it is discriminated that a portion between and odd-numbered contour position, when viewed from a scan direction on each scan line, to a pixel position immediately before an even-numbered contour position is a portion inside the area of a closed figure, and remaining portions are outside the area of the closed figure.

Abstract: In a focus acquire system on an optical disk recorder, a focus error signal FES 33 has a peak amplitude of 34 at the start of a linear region 38 within which occurs a desired focus position 99. The FES 33 is modified to produce a modified FES 105 which has a peak amplitude 106 occurring closer to the desired focus position 99 than the occurrence of peak amplitude 34 of the FES. The FES 33 is differentiated to produce a differentiated FES 100. The differentiated FES 100 is then subtracted from FES 33 to produce the modified FES 105. The modified FES 105 is compared with a threshold 109 and a near-focus position is detected upon agreement at point 110. This narrows the area 107 within which in-focus position is to be found.
