Abstract: An interactive cable television system utilizes a standard cable television distribution network for simultaneously providing a plurality of viewers with an interactive television program comprising a plurality of signals related in time and content. Video signals (1) are transmitted in a digital format, more than one signal being multiplexed onto a data stream on a single channel. The video signals (1) may be compressed for efficiency. A receiver (7), in conjunction with a signal selector (8), selects a particular NTSC channel for playback, then selects a particular video signal from the data stream, and decompresses the video signal for playback. Seamless switching between video signals on different channels is provided. In an alternative embodiment, the various signals which comprise the interactive program are switched at the head end (300) rather than at the receiver (7). The multiple choice control unit (9) selects a desired signal by relating the multiple choice selections of the user through a relay box (17) back to a remotely located switching station. The switching station routes the correct video signal down the appropriate cable channel for the particular user. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Grain growth inhibitors including vanadium carbide, chromium carbide, tantalum carbide, and niobium carbide are incorporated into a cobalt/tungsten carbide matrix during the formation of the cobalUtungsten carbide matrix. A precursor powder is formed by combining in solution a cobalt composition, a tungsten composition and a grain growth inhibiting metal composition, which is then spray dried. The precursor compound is then carburized in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to form cobalt/tungsten carbide matrix. This is then further carburized in a hydrocarbon hydrogen gas at an elevated temperature to cause the grain growth inhibiting metal present to form the carbide. The second carburizing step is conducted with a carburizing gas having a carbon activity greater than about 2 for a relatively short period of time at 900 DEG  C to 1000 DEG  C.

Abstract: A data backup apparatus includes a semiconductor memory (24) having a plurality of areas, each area storing a value of variables. A writing unit (306) writes a value to a plural number of areas of the memory one by one, the plural number being at least four and even. A reading unit (100) reads the values from the plural number of areas of the memory. A coincidence determining unit (104, 106, 110, 114, 118) determines whether more than half of values read from the plural number of areas of the memory are the same as each other. An assigning unit (108, 112, 116, 120) determines a coincidence value when it has been determined that more than half of the read values are the same, so that the coincidence value is assigned to each variable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fax and phone combination device. The combination device is coupled to an external phone. From a phone line, the combination device receives a call signal, a fax signal, and an information signal. The call signal precedes the fax signal and the information signal. The combination device comprises a fax, an internal phone, and a call signal processor. The call processor processes the call signal received by the combination device and produces a first ringing signal from the call signal. The first ringing signal is intended for the internal phone. The combination device further comprises a ringing signal generator for generating a second ringing signal that is intended for the external phone, and a switch coupled to the fax, the internal phone, and the call processor. A call pulse in the call signal causes the switch to switch the combination device in a simulated receiving mode. In the simulated receiving mode, the fax signal detector detects whether the fax signal is present. If the fax signal is present, the fax signal is routed to the fax. If no fax signal is present, the second ringing signal is routed to the external phone.

Abstract: Interlaced or twisted yarn (17) is passed between an optical transmitter (25) and receiver (26) to produce an original signal (28) which varies in response to the changes in dimension of the yarn (17). Such original signal (28) is compared using cross-correlation with an expected signal as produced by an ideally processed yarn (17) to produce a processed signal (27) indicating by its value the degree of matching of the original signal (28) with the expected signal. The amplitude of the processed signal (27) is noted relative to a predetermined threshold value representing an acceptably processed yarn (17). The expected signal is devised by performing a frequency analysis on the original signal (28) to establish a peak frequency which is used to determine the distance between nodes in an ideally processed yarn (17). <IMAGE>
