Abstract: A digital video playback architecture utilizes review speed adjustment
markers to enable viewer recognition of an event in a video program during fast
advance of the video, either in a fast-forward advance mode or a rewind advance
mode. A review speed adjustment marker gives the viewer time to recognize, or
otherwise ascertain, an event in the video and stop the fast advance to review the
video content, or other information, associated with the review speed adjustment
marker at a normal playback speed.

Abstract: A fixing device for an image forming apparatus of
the present invention includes a fixing member (1). A coating
member (4) is rotatable in contact with the fixing member by
following the rotation of the fixing member for thereby
coating a parting agent on the fixing member. A feeding
member (5) is rotatable in contact with the coating member by
following the rotation of the coating member for thereby
feeding the parting agent to the coating member. A holding
member (7) holds the parting agent and is held in sliding
contact with the feeding member to thereby deposit the
parting agent on the feeding member. When the fixing
member (1) is rotated in a direction opposite to a direction
assigned to fixing while causing the coating member to
rotate, a rotation limiting member prevents the feeding
member from rotating by following the rotation of the
coating member.

Abstract: A CATV station apparatus (100) subjects received
optical signals to processes of optical-electrical conversion,
signal separation, coupling , and demodulation for obtaining an
uplink signal. A received photocurrent monitoring section (170)
compares a received photocurrent at a optical receiving
section (110) with a predetermined reference current. If the
received photocurrent is equal to or higher than the reference
current, an amplifying section (130) amplifies a signal output
from a signal separating section (120) at a predetermined level.
If the received photocurrent is lower than the reference current,
on the other hand, it is determined that a non-linear phenomenon,
such as stimulated Brillouin scattering, has occurred in an optical
fiber (200). The amplifying section (130) then outputs a signal
at a level which does not affect, even after being coupled with
other signals, communications performed by other optical
transmission systems.

Abstract: A mirror-polished obverse surface and a roughened reverse surface of the conventional GaN wafers have been discriminated by difference of roughness on the surfaces with human eyesight. The difference of the surfaces is rather ambiguous. Cracks/breaks and distortion of the wafers have been likely to occur because the roughness of the reverse surface is apt to bring fine particles. 
     To discern an obverse from a reverse without making use of the difference of the surface roughness, the present invention provides an obverse/reverse discriminative rectangular nitride semiconductor wafer having a longer slanting edge and a shorter slanting edge at obversely-clockwise neighboring comers, or having an asymmetric slanting edge at a comer, or having asymmetrically bevelled parts or having discriminating characters marked by laser. The present invention can make the reverse surface mirror-polished and smooth, so that particles on the reverse surface and distortion, cracks or breaks of the wafer decrease.

Abstract: Dual-lobed cams mounted on the intake camshaft (26) of a diesel engine selectively retard timing of the intake valve closure. The purpose of retarding timing of the intake valves is to retard valve closing sufficiently to shorten the effective compression strokes of the pistons and thus reduce the effective compression ratio. This occurs when the intake valves remain open past piston bottom dead center for a desired period into the normal compression stroke phase of engine operation. This reduces compression pressures so that combustion temperatures are reduced and exhaust emissions, primarily NOx, may be thus limited under conditions of warmed-up engine operation. Dual-lobed cams (10) may also be employed to retard timing of the intake valve opening to throttle admitted air during cold running conditions to effect higher in-cylinder charge temperatures to reduce hydrocarbon and white smoke emissions due to poor ignition and incomplete combustion.
