Abstract: In a method for detecting a scene change
between a prior video picture and a current video
picture of a sequence of pictures, an average
luminance value is determined for a block pair of
the prior and current video pictures. Preferably,
the blocks of the block pair are located,
respectively, in the same relative position in the
prior and current pictures. An incremental visual
sensation value is determined using a difference
between the average luminance values. If the
incremental visual sensation value exceeds a block
contrast threshold level, a scene change is
indicated. In particular, if the minimum of the
average luminance values of the current and prior
picture blocks exceeds a dark scene threshold, the
incremental visual sensation value is determined
using the ratio of (a) the absolute value of the
difference between the average luminance values, and
(b) the minimum of the average luminance values of
the current and prior picture blocks. Otherwise,
the incremental visual sensation value is determined
using the ratio of (a) the absolute value of the
difference, and (b) the dark scene threshold. The
method may be optimized by adjusting the block size
based on the relative amount of motion and the
current picture type.

Abstract: Gas turbine stationary blade unit in which two
stationary blades are built in a segment by shrouds is
provided with object to lessen occurrence of cracks. Two
stationary blades 1a, 1b are fixed respectively by outer
shroud and inner shroud, each divided into two parts 2a, 2b
and 3a, 3b. Flanges 4a, 4b are provided to divided end
portions of the outer shrouds 2a, 2b to be jointed together
by bolts via boltholes 7. Likewise, flanges 5a, 5b are
provided to divided end portions of the inner shrouds 3a, 3b
to be so jointed. If the two stationary blades 1a, 1b are
fixed in a segment by the shrouds which are not divided,
restraining force becomes larger, local stress occurs due to
thermal stress and frequency of crack occurrence increases,
but as the shrouds are divided respectively into two parts
and jointed together by bolts, crack occurrence is lessened.
Also, pinholes are provided in face of divided portion of the
shrouds and pins are inserted thereinto for connection of the
divided shrouds, thereby relative movement between the
divided shrouds is prevented and a strong jointed blade unit
is provided.

provided. The system includes an encoding device (3) for converting a sound
message into a two-dimensional encodement, a printer (31) for invisibly

message. The encoding device preferably converts the sound message into a
compressed digitized form prior to its ultimate conversion into a two-dimensional
encodement. The reader preferably includes a lens (66) for focusing an image of
the encodement onto the image sensor array. The sensor array responds to the
image by generating a digital signal representative of the compressed sound that
the reader decompresses and renders into an analog sound signal which is
representative of the original sound image. Both the system and method are
particularly useful in providing an individualized sound message on customized

Abstract: An object of the present invention consists in providing
a new spool case in which the stored spool can be held without
contacting with it by hand, engaging or disengaging of the
spool in respect to the bonding device can be carried out
without having any relation with a length of the holder or
presence or non-presence of an engaging means, a reliability
in holding the spool is high and a spool held state can be
easily maintained. In addition, solving means of the present
invention can be handled such that the spool is held by the
engaging pieces 7 arranged at the base 3 and the spool is not
directly contacted with hand. The spool held state is
maintained by the resilient engaging force of each of the
engaging pieces 7 and this is not released so long as each
of these engaging pieces 7 is not resiliently deformed and
is not released from the flange. The held state causes each
of the engaging pieces 7 to be engaged with the outer
circumferential edge of the flange, wherein no interference
occurs against the wire wound around the spool barrel section
section or inside the barrel section.
