Abstract: The present invention is directed to computer software compilation systems and methods which support run-time data type identification of objects in computer programming languages which support polymorphism. The present invention comprises translators, compilers, and debuggers. The compiler and translator store modified debug information in an object code file. The modified debug information contains information regarding either multiple virtual tables or concatenated virtual tables. A debug lookup table is constructed from the modified debug information. The debugger uses the debug lookup table to determine the actual data types of the objects, and to completely and accurately display and modify the objects' contents. Also, innovative type inquiry operators reference the concatenated virtual tables to determine the actual data types of the objects during run-time. The operation of the compiler, translator, and debugger is transparent to computer programmers and operators. Therefore, the compiler, translator, and debugger support run-time data type identification of the objects in the computer programs in a user-friendly and error-free manner.

Abstract: An error concealment technique for component television signal systems evaluates video pixels surrounding an erroneous video pixel P(0,0) in four different directions, and determines which direction of surrounding pixels provides the best replacement value for the erroneous pixel. The technique includes calculating disparity values in each direction, weighting the disparity values with coefficients modified in response to any corrupted pixels in the pixels surrounding the erroneous pixel. The coefficients also may be adjusted in accordance with critical picture material. The weighted and modified disparity values are compared, and the preferred least disparity value is selected. The video pixels are supplied to four filters (44,46,48,50), wherein optimum filter coefficients are simulated to provide the maximum bandwidth and minimum ripple in the frequency response to any corrupted pixels in the surrounding pixels. The least disparity value selects the preferred filter and the filtered pixel value thereof is used to replace the erroneous pixel.

Abstract: An adaptive analogue-to-digital converter arrangement comprises an analogue-to-digital converter (21) preceded by a variable-gain amplifier (4). In order to provide an accurate measure of the relative gain of the amplifier at each gain setting the output signal of an a.c. reference signal source (12) is frequency-multiplexed with the arrangement input signal applied to an input (1). After conversion to digital form by means of the A/D converter (21) the multiplexed signal is separated into its two components by means of filters (23,24), these being directed to respective bit fields (2A,2B) of an output (2), the reference component after amplitude detection (25). The output amplitude of the reference source may be varied inversely with the gain of the amplifier (4) by means of a feedback loop (32,33) which is activated alternately with variation of the gain of the amplifier, a data processor (36) then being provided to calculate the cumulative variation in gain from the content of the reference signal bit field (2B) immediately before and after each gain variation.

Abstract: The processes for coating metal surfaces with chromium metal and chromium oxide (Cr-CrOx) are improved by introducing a pretreatment consisting in at least one anodic pulse of brief duration applied to the metallic body to be coated immersed in the same chroming solution immediately prior to Cr-CrOx deposition. 
     In this way it is possible to perform this type of coating also on surfaces consisting of aluminium or alloys thereof, which has hitherto been impossible. Moreover the improvement ensures uniform adherent coatings which provide a firm anchor for subsequent painting. Finally there is a marked upgrading in resistance to corrosion, especially that of the cosmetic type.
