Abstract: An electric cable joint shell or other article comprises a layer of foraminous metal sheet material, which is first formed to the required shape. A plastics layer is then conformed to it and made to interlock with it by penetrating into the foramina of the metal sheet; this is done by vacuum forming under a sufficient pressure differential to ensure the necessary penetration.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a sliding face in a plastic guide bushing for a height-adjustable chair column, the inner face of the guide bushing is provided with surfaces which are undersized with respect to a pneumatic spring housing to be guided. Between the individual surfaces there are offsets which are oversized with respect to the housing of the pneumatic spring to be guided. Between the offsets, part-cylindrical areas are cleared in the surfaces by broaching, these areas together representing a sliding face. These measures make it possible to perform satisfactory broaching of the sliding face with high surface quality and dimensional accuracy. In addition, the remaining offsets, which may take the form of grooves of any cross-section, can be used as reservoirs for lubricating grease.

Abstract: Image signals are orthogonal-transformed (DCTed) in mutually different dimensions (DMs) to obtain transform coefficients (TC) for each DM, which are then compared mutually to select TC of one DM based on the comparison. Or else, such TC of one DM are selected based on the image signals in a specific DM and the selected TC are quantized and variable-length coded to output coded signals. In another way, prediction error (PE) signals obtained by predictive coding (PC) are DCTed in mutually different DMs to obtain TC for each DM; the TC of one DM are selected based on the PE signals in a specific DM, and then quantized and coded. Or else, the TC obtained for each DM are quantized and then compared mutually. The quantized signals of one DM are selected based on the comparison and then coded. Or else, the TC obtained for each DM are quantized and coded, and coded signals of one DM are selected based on the comparison. The coded signals are transmitted together with mode information (MI) indicating which DM the selected TC are transformed in. The coded signals are decoded, and then inversely quantized (IQed). The IQed signals are inversely DCTed in the DM indicated by the MI.
