Abstract: An apparatus for processing a sequence of control
commands for a unit (40) to be controlled is proposed. In
this case, the apparatus has first decoding means (22)
which are designed to decode a predetermined set of
control commands. When a first end command (CMD_END) is
processed, the address of the end command is compared
with an address information item with regard to the
beginning of the next control command sequence and, from
the difference between the addresses, it is identified
whether the end command is additionally followed by
further control commands (SET_BAREA) of a second set of
control commands. These commands are then processed by
further decoding means (23). Undefined states are thereby
prevented. The proposal also encompasses a method for
generating a sequence of control commands for a unit to
be controlled, and a storage medium for storing a control
command sequence for a unit to be controlled.

Abstract: A defense system which includes a plurality of laser
weapons. The fields of regard of contiguous laser weapons are
overlapped to create a battery or  f orward  en gagement mi s sile
d e fense  s ystem (FENSES). The FENSES effectively increases the
killing power of the laser weaponry thus reducing the kill time
of such laser weaponry. As such, the vulnerability of such
laser weaponry to attack is greatly reduced. Each laser weapon
includes a command and control system that is integrated into a
master control unit which issues commands to the fire units of
the laser weapon systems in order to cause the fire units to
act individually, or in groups or as a whole. By increasing
the kill power of the laser weaponry through advantageous laser
placement, the effects of thermal blooming are greatly reduced.

Les oligomères nucléobases présentent une liaison hydrogène, par appariement des bases de Watson et Crick, à des acides nucléiques complémentaires (comme l'ADN et l'ARN), dans un brin opposé. Chaque nucléobase interne dans l'oligomère comporte deux sites de fixation et est liée à deux nucléobases par des lieurs. Des groupes de terminaison peuvent comprendre une fonctionalité réactive, des marqueurs, des ligands ou des acides nucléiques. Les composés d'oligomères nucléobases sont utiles en tant que molécules de reconnaissance spécifique d'une séquence pour des acides nucléiques complémentaires.

Abstract: A digital display device (DDD), such as a plasma display or a digital
DMD based digital light projector employs a minimum moving pixel distortion (MPD)
set of codewords for reducing visually perceived artifacts viewed on a DDD,
specifically on a plasma display panel (PDP). The plasma display device includes a
minimum MPD mapping process, which maps by, for example, a ROM look-up table,
received pixel intensity values into intensity levels corresponding to selected ones of the
set of codewords. By increasing the number of subfields (or rounding the least
significant bits (LSBs) of the intensity pixels), redundant codewords that express pixel
intensities can be generated based on the sustain pulse vector with predetermined
constraints. An optimal set of codewords can be determined using a dynamic
programming method which minimizes a measure of apparent error in a transition from
a gray scale produced by one codeword to a gray scale produced by a next successive
codeword. The optimal codewords are stored in a ROM lookup table as display data by
a plasma display controller. The plasma display controller then provides the display
data, line by line, to the plasma display panel (PDP) using a scan driver and a data
driver. Once the display data is loaded into the PDP for an image, the plasma display
controller enables the sustain pulse drivers to illuminate the addressed cells with the
intended sustain pulse train encoded by the codeword.

Abstract: During the joining stage the drive motor is controlled at a speed which from initial pipe end contact produces a stroke according to either a predetermined stroke-time curve or a stroke-time curve based on the axial force between the ends or the melt viscosity. During cooling the feeding speed is reduced to a mean value less than that during the joining stage. An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus for the above process whose drive motor or rigid drive members have an angular or stroke sensor and the feed speed of the pipe clamping unit during pressing together of pipe ends is controlled according to a predetermined stroke-time curve or a stroke-time curve depending on the axial force between the pipe ends or the melt viscosity. Preferred Features: Force between pipe ends is measured during slow feeding in the cooling phase and the cooling phase ends when the quotient of force and speed reaches a preset upper value. Time duration for welding is minimized by measuring the welding seam temperature continuously or at intervals during the cooling phase and the connection between drive motor and pipe ends is released when a specified minimum temperature is reached. Speed is reduced at the end of the joining stage. Control of motor speed during the heating and pipe end adaptation phase starts from the point at which the pipe ends contact the flat heating plate and follows a predetermined stroke-time curve, the feeding speed being lower than in the subsequent joining stage. Constant starting conditions can be achieved by controlling the heating phase according to the initial pipe end temperature and/or surrounding temperature. Axial forces are measured during all process stages and compared with a set curve.

Abstract: A digital video tape recorder ("VTR") that selects data
useful for generating images during trick playback
operation and records the data in trick play tape
segments arranged on a tape to form fast scan tracks and
multi-speed playback tracks. Each fast scan track
comprises trick play tape segments located on a diagonal,
relative to the length of the tape, of the same angle as
the angle at which the heads of a VTR are expected to
pass over the tape during trick-play operation at a
specific speed and direction of operation. Each multi-speed
playback track comprises a plurality of trick play
tape segments arranged parallel to the length of the
tape. Data which is used for at least one mode of trick
play operation is recorded in each trick play tape
segment. Each fast scan track and multi-speed track
crosses multiple normal play tracks. During playback at
a wide variety of speeds and directions, the heads pass
over enough trick play segments of the multi-speed
playback track to generate recognizable images during
trick play operation. During specific speeds of playback
operation supported by the use of fast scan tracks, data
read from the fast scan tracks provide images of better
quality than data that can be read from the multi-speed
track. Data is recorded in each trick play segment in a
manner that optimizes the amount of data that can be
routinely recovered during trick playback operation
despite tracking errors.
