Abstract: An apparatus for encoding a contour of an object in a
video signal by using a baseline-based shape coding technique
first determines a baseline based on contour image data and
generates a one-dimensional sample list of the contour based
on the baseline. Subsequently, the apparatus produces a
reconstructed contour based on the one-dimensional sample list
and extracts the difference between the reconstructed contour
and the original contour. The detected difference is sampled
in order to create an error sample list and, finally, the one-dimensional
sample list is compensated based on the error
sample list.

Abstract: A method and device for distinguishing man-made electrical signals within a body from physiological electrochemical activity. The method and device work by detecting electrical signals within the body, and distinguishing the man-made electrical signals from the physiological electrochemical activity by calculating conduction velocities for the detected electrical signals. In distinguishing the signals, at least one pair of points (72, 74; or 76, 78) where the electrical signals are being detected is designated as being of interest. At each point within this pair, the occurrence of the arrival times of each electrical signal is observed (48, 50, 60). On the basis of these observed arrival times, the signal is then determined (64, 66, 70, 92) to be either man-made or electrophysiological in origin.

Abstract: An arrangement for reducing noise radiated externally from motor
vehicles comprises two acoustic screen parts (40, 42) made of
material having a high acoustic impedance which are mounted
together in generally co-planar fashion, and with edges
overlapping, between the engine compartment of the vehicle and
a front wheel thereof. The overlapping edges define slots
(44, 46, 48, 50) which form apertures when the screens (40, 42)
are mounted in overlapping relationship, the apertures allowing
passage of members extending between the engine compartment and
the wheel. Such members may include longitudinally movable
members such as a steering link or rotatable members such as the
drive shaft. The slots (44, 46, 48, 50) carry respective half-bellows
(52, 54, 56, 58) which, in the assembled arrangement,
come together to define bellows embracing the movable members and
are clipped together. These bellows thus restrict the radiation
of noise outwards from the engine compartment but also allow the
necessary movement of the movable members to take place. The
screens and the bellows may be made of rubber or thermoplastics
material and may be moulded together.

Abstract: The following configuration is adopted with the aim of
establishing the desired delay time without increasing the
surface area of the layout or causing a malfunction when
noise is superposed on ground or the power supply (100). A
specific configuration comprises a waveform modification
circuit (104) for varying the rise and fall of inputted
pulse signals, a switch (102) for connecting a power
supply (100) and an output terminal when the voltage of
the modified waveform exceeds the threshold value related
to the power supply voltage, and a voltage control circuit
(10) for varying the output voltage of the afore-mentioned
waveform modification circuit (104) in accordance with the
changes in the voltage of the power supply (100). To
reshape a waveform, an input signal is compared with the
power supply voltage as reference value, and the input
signal and power supply voltage are switched in accordance
with the comparison results. If noise is applied to the
power supply voltage at this time, the comparison
reference is changed, applying an unneeded pulse signal or
eliminating a needed pulse signal. By contrast, the
voltage control circuit (10) changes the output of the
waveform modification circuit (104) in accordance with
changes in the reference when noise contained in the power
supply voltage is applied to the output of the waveform
modification circuit (104). No malfunctions thus occur
when an input signal is compared with the power supply
voltage as a reference value in order to reshape a
waveform.  
     A delay circuit having an integrating circuit (104)
may be used as such a digital circuit.

Abstract: In a sound-picture synchronous compression device, the picture
compression process is performed on a designated amount of picture codes.
Then, a necessary amount of sound codes is calculated on the basis of a time
of the picture compression process and is subjected to sound compression
process. So, compressed picture codes and compressed sound codes are
transmitted to a sound-picture synchronous reproduction device. Herein,
the picture reproduction process is performed on a designated amount of the
compressed picture codes. Then, a necessary amount of the compressed
sound codes is calculated on the basis of a time of the picture reproduction
process and is subjected to sound reproduction process. Thus, the device
reproduces the picture codes and sound codes, based on which pictures and
sounds are output by the monitor and speaker respectively. The switching
between the sound processing and picture processing in compression and
reproduction is made with a reduced overhead, while the switching is
performed in such a way that the sound processing does not break off.
Incidentally, the picture codes correspond to a number of macro blocks while
the sound codes correspond to a number of AAUs.

Abstract: The collating and binding system for folded sheets has an endless transporter moving under dispensers (9) for the folded sheets and with a number of collating stations (12) under the transporter, each with an upper holding position (12.1) in which the folded sheets (17) are collected. When the full set of sheets has been collected the holding station tilts and drops the collated stack into a binding station (12.2), which moves with the collator. The bound stack is dropped off and the process is repeated. The collating position and the binding position are separated by a transfer zone. A curved wall (44) forms the bottom of the collator when the upper position is in a tilted setting. The stack is dropped into the binder by tilting the collator into the vertical position. This provides a simple handling process with a large throughput.
