Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a system for providing information required for meeting with a desired person while travelling. A subscriber registers his or her attribute data, attribute data of a desired person and his or her travel schedule data through an input/output terminal (1). Input data is transferred via a communication network to a host computer (3). Host computer (3) generates information regarding the other party who the subscriber can meet with for each subscriber by processing data transferred from many subscribers. Generated data is stored in an output list file (48), so that the subscriber is able to know a possibility to meet with a desired person while travelling by making access to the output list file through the input/output terminal.

Abstract: In a Viterbi decoding method or apparatus, a reception code, produced by precoding a transmission code and transmitting the precoded transmission code through a partial response transmission path, is processed to detect whether the present state is a plus (+) merge, a minus (-) merge or a no merge state. A provisional value is estimated for the transmission code corresponding to the reception code, and the provisional value is stored in a buffer. When the present state is a (+) or (-) merge, that is, other than a no merge state, a decoded value is obtained for the transmission code and the provisional value in the buffer is updated with the decoded value.

Abstract: In a teletext system packet 26 data representing accented and other characters are decoded before data in packets 1 to 24 representing unaccented characters and are stored at addresses in a video RAM (7) corresponding to the positions on the display (16) at which the accented and other characters are to appear. In order to prevent the overwriting of the accented and other characters by unaccented characters in the video RAM (7) when the data from packets 1 to 24 are entered, a flag "1" bit is stored as a ninth bit at each address where an accented or other character is stored and the flag bits are used to block the overwriting by unaccented characters. When an entire page for display has been received, the flag bits are all reset to "0" to permit replacement of the characters at all addresses of the video RAM when the data for the next page is received.

Abstract: In step S1, the capacity of the area (remaining quantity) of a disk in which information can be recorded is read, and the remaining quantity is displayed in step S2. After a user input the recording time of information to be recorded and the recording capacity w for the recording, an average transmission rate R₁ is calculated from expression R₁ = w/t - α in step S4. The rate α is the transmission rate for transmitting signals other than a video signal, such as an audio signal, attached to the video signal. Data obtained by applying a DCT treatment to the video data is quantized with a quantization width corresponding to the average transmission rate R₁ and this data is intermittently recorded on the disk.

Abstract: An instruction pipeline includes a sequence of interconnected pipeline stages (80, 82, 84, 86), each stage dedicated to one of several operations executed on data in a digital processing device. Control words govern execution of the operations as they progress through the pipeline. The pipeline stages, as well as the pipeline entry and exit (88), are interconnected in a manner that permits each control word to enter and exit the pipeline at any one of the stages, and to skip any stages in which the control word will not govern any operations on data. On occasion, this permits a control word to bypass another control word which originally preceded it in the pipeline, thus to reverse the order of the two control words. A mapping field in each control word predetermines its route through the instruction pipeline, one bit of the map field corresponding to each pipeline stage. The route of each control word further is controlled by arbitration logic to resolve contentions among control words for particular pipeline stages, and to insure against a reversal in control word order when such reversal might produce an error. Each pipeline stage is a data register configured to accommodate one control word at a time. Succeeding stage registers are selectively reduced in length to eliminate selected segments and bit positions, thereby deleting from each control word certain bits and multiple bit fields executed in preceding stages.

Abstract: Heater plug having a hollow body 1 in which a ceramic heating element 2 is arranged such that it projects axially at one side of the hollow body 1. The heating element 2 consists of a ceramic conductor 6 which is embedded in a ceramic insulator 7 and is connected to power supply terminals, that is to say to frame (ground, earth) via the metallic hollow body 1 and to a plug and socket connection 3. The contacts of the ceramic conductor 6 with the power supply terminals are formed by contact surfaces 8, 9 on the ceramic conductor 6 via which the latter makes contact, on the one hand, with the metallic hollow body 1 and, on the other hand, with the plug and socket connection 3. The contacts are preferably under pressure, which is achieved by producing a bias between the components which are in contact. It is preferred to provide metallic contact parts, for example contact rings 10, 11 on the contact points between the contact surfaces 8, 9 and the metallic hollow body 1 as well as the plug and socket connection 3. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04N1/03
Filed: 1994-11-17
Abstract: An optical scanning station is disclosed which utilizes light bending apparatus such as mirrors or optical wedges to gather and redirect some of the illumination radiating from the object. The gathering of the light occurs off-axis from the lens and the redirection of the light to the lens causes an off-axis angle between the light beam and the lens axis, thereby resulting in multiple images which are spaced apart from each other when focused on an image plane. The multiple images may be split apart and directed to separate image planes by use of front surface mirrors making the images then available for individual capture by charge couple devices or other similar image capture apparatus. Alternatively, the outboard images may be redirected, again by mirrors, to be focused coincident to the on-axis image, thereby increasing the illumination level at the image plane well in excess of that obtainable with only a single image of the object being focused at the image plane. The primary advantage of these devices is either to permit separate images to be presented on separate image planes without the subtractive losses occasioned by use of subtractive beam splitters or to combine the multiple images to raise the illumination level of a single image at the image plane, thereby permitting the use of slower lenses or reduced illumination level at the object.

Abstract: The gas trace measurement system consists of an electrochemical sensor (1) having at least one working electrode, one back electrode and, if required, a reference electrode. The measurement signal generated by the sensor and correlated with the gas concentration is amplified and indicated with the aid of analogue evaluation electronics (2). The evaluation electronics (2) are connected to a diagnostic circuit (4, 5, 6) which, during a test cycle, temporarily alters the potential set up, in the case of a two-electrode sensor between the working electrode and the back electrode and, in the case of a three-electrode sensor, between the working electrode and the reference electrode, according to a predetermined time function, which produces a change in the current signal at the working electrode. This alteration of the current signal, or else a measurement value derived therefrom, is picked up by the evaluation electronics as a test signal which is representative of the sensor quality and is compared with one or more predetermined target values.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a video coding device the prediction error value calculated by a motion estimating portion 18 is used for selecting the frame or field orthogonal transform coding mode. The frame prediction error value EFr and the field prediction error value EFi are calculated by the motion estimating portion 18 and entered into a comparator 21 of an orthogonal transform mode selecting portion 6 which in turn compares them with each other and generates an orthogonal transform mode selecting signal TC. The use of the prediction error values for selecting the orthogonal transform mode makes it possible to reduce the size of the necessary hardware and saves much time of data processing necessary for judgment of the orthogonal transform mode selection.
