Abstract: The present invention relates to a zinc-diffused
nickel alloy coating for corrosion and heat protection
and to a method for forming such a coating. The coating
method broadly comprises the steps of forming a plain
nickel or nickel alloy coating layer (14) on a substrate
(12), applying a layer of zinc (18) over the nickel or
nickel alloy coating layer, and thermally diffusing the
zinc into the nickel alloy coating layer. The coating
method may further comprise immersing the coated
substrate in a phosphated trivalent chromium conversion
solution either before or after the diffusing step. The
substrate may be a component used in a gas turbine
engine, which component is formed from a steel material.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the processing of multiple data streams with common resources (Fig. 1). More particularly, this invention relates to a technique for time­ multiplexed processing of, for example, multiple digital video programs. In one embodiment, an exemplary method provides for time-multiplexed processing of a set of digital streams (102) includes storing each received packet in a random access memory (112). For each stream, the deadline for the arrival of the next packet at the receiver is determined and a priority based on the deadline is assigned. The stream with the highest assigned priority is identified as an identified stream. In some embodiments, the processing state of the identified stream is then restored. One or more packets of data corresponding to the identified stream are retrieved from random access memory to produce retrieved packets. The processing state is saved after the retrieved packets have been processed.

Abstract: The characteristic-detecting unit (20) is operable to detect characteristics from a first or
second information terminal unit-captured image. The first information terminal
unit-captured image has been obtained by an image input unit (10). The second
information terminal unit-captured image has been decoded by an image-decoding unit

control system provides a reduced amount of processing required for image encoding,
either stops displaying the images or displays fewer images, either stops transferring the
images from the image-decoding unit (80) to the image-displaying unit (90) or transfers
fewer images therebetween in the same transfer direction, and provides fewer
image-captured frames. This feature provides an information terminal unit characterized
