Abstract: A machine capable of producing photographic colour prints, both from images captured on film and from digitally encoded images, consists essentially in a conventional machine as used to make colour prints from images on film, also comprising a one-line cathode ray tube (7 or 7a or 7b) positioned along the path followed by a strip of light-sensitive paper (31) from a supply roll (3) to a set of chemical treatment baths (60), preceding or following the printing surface (29), of which the projecting head (71) generates a pencil-thin line comprising a high number of pixels in a notably broad range of colours. The single lines are emitted gradually and in ordered succession by the projecting head (71), impacting on a corresponding length of the light-sensitive paper (31) as it advances across the head and thus generating an image of high definition and chromatic fidelity directly on the light-sensitive surface.

Abstract: A device comprising an MPEG encoder (2) is provided with a preanalyser (8) which encodes each picture with a fixed step size (Q₂). The preanalyser is coupled to a computing circuit (9) which computes, for each type of (I, P, B) picture, a target value (T) for the number of bits for encoding said picture, as well as a suitable distribution of the target value among the macroblocks of the picture. A proportionally integrating control circuit (7) controls the quantization step size (Q₁). Since the PI control circuit does not introduce any residual errors, the desired number of bits per picture or per group of pictures is achieved within narrow limits. The output signal is eminently suitable for recording and subsequent editing.

Abstract: A position detector (11, 12) detects a relative position of an optical head (2) to a recording medium (1), and on the basis of the thus-detected relative position, a position detection signal (D) is generated in response to movement of a light beam (6) over a predetermined distance. Then, in response to the position detection signal, a comparison is made between the number (Na) of track crossing counted for the predetermined movement distance on the basis of reception of reflection of the light beam (6), and a predetermined reference value (Nb) for the predetermined movement distance. Then, track crossing count compensation data (Nc) is generated which corresponds to a difference between the counted number of track crossing and the reference value, and the counted number of track crossing is corrected by use of such compensation data.

Abstract: Une sonde (21) à capteur oxymétrique est couplée de manière mobile au doigt d'un patient afin de faciliter la transillumination et la détection d'énergie optique dans une partie du doigt du patient sans soumettre le doigt à une déformation importante. Le doigt se trouve dans un doigtier (22) comportant une extrémité fermée arrondie (26) et une extrémité ouverte opposée (24) qui s'enroule sur elle-même et qui est conçue pour se dérouler longitudinalement le long du doigt afin de former une fermeture tubulaire qui entoure étroitement le doigt. Une source optique (34) et un détecteur optique (36) sont disposés en alignement axial espacé, l'un et l'autre se trouvant sur les faces opposées du doigt de façon que l'énergie optique transmise par la source (34) dans le doigt soit reçue par le détecteur (36). La lumière détectée est analysée afin de déterminer de façon non invasive la saturation d'oxygène dans le sang du patient. En raison de la connexion non adhésive entre la sonde (21) et le doigt, le désaccouplement de la voie optique entre la source (34) et le détecteur (36) est minimisé dans l'éventualité où le patient bouge son doigt lors du test. La source optique (34) et le détecteur optique (36) peuvent également se séparer du doigtier (22) de sorte que le capteur optique (23) puisse être réutilisé avec un autre doigtier.

Abstract: 5n7 The invention relates to a jacquard machine having lifters controlled by electro-magnets. Activated by electromagnets are lifters (6; 60) that, according to the weave pattern, must reside in the upper shed. The lifter (6; 60) is arranged between a continuously rotating lifting roll (1) and an appropriately distanced press roller (2) of an anchor of an electromagnet (3), the roller (2) pressing the lifter (6; 60) to the mantle surface of the lifting roll (1) when the electromagnet (3) is electrically connected according to the weave pattern. Next to each lifting roll (1), a series of lifters (6; 60) is positioned. The lifting rolls (1) are arranged so that in a vertical plane, along the width of the warp, there exists a roll matrix composed of mutually equal columns of rolls and mutually equal rows of rolls. The one-column lifting rolls (1) together with the respective lifters (6; 60), electromagnets (3) and the respective mechanical equipment form a roll module, and two roll modules positioned along the warp compose a roll aggregate. The electromagnets (3) are arranged on traverses (4) and connected, by a connector (12), to an electrical connection plate (5). For each module an assembly for suspending the lifters (6; 60) is prepared. All lifting rolls (1) obtain continuous, unidirectional, uniform rotation independent of the drive of the weaving loom machine, the jacquard machine being interconnected with the weaving loom machine as to the control functions.
