Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for orthogonally transforming and quantizing, in block units, inputted image data, and subsequently performing image compression by variable-length coding the data. In particular, control is performed in such a manner that the compressed information quantity attains a predetermined quantity when variable-length coding is carried out. Optimum image compression and expansion are performed by scanning data quantized upon taking into consideration the output characteristics of an image output unit and human visual characteristics. Further, by selecting an optimum quantization table in coding or selecting optimum results from a plurality of coded results, management of the image memory is facilitated, and image compression and expansion featuring ease of image editing and treatment can be performed while image quality is maintained. Furthermore, control is executed in such a manner that data access to the image memory attains a predetermined value so as to make possible the combining of images in the image memory.

Abstract: The sewage sludge is thermally dried and is burnt in a power station furnace. The vapours produced during drying are likewise passed into the power station furnace, reheated there and subjected to post-combustion. The subsequent purification is carried out together with the exhaust gas of the power station furnace in the gas purification plant provided downstream. The exhaust gases pass from the purification plant via a stack into the atmosphere. The drying of the sewage sludge in this case can be carried out directly or indirectly. For the direct drying, flue gas is either withdrawn from the power station furnace or is produced in a separate hot gas generator fuelled by coal, oil, gas or coal/sewage sludge mixture. The indirect drying is carried out with steam withdrawn from the power station process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A speech coding method which can code a speech signal at a bit rate of 8 kb/s or less by a comparatively small amount of calculation to obtain a good sound quality. An autocorrelation of a synthesis signal synthesized from a codevector of an excitation codebook (140) and a linear predictive parameter of an input speech signal is corrected using an autocorrelation of a synthesis signal synthesized from a codevector of an adaptive codebook (120) and a linear predictive parameter and a cross-correlation between the synthesis signal of the codevector of the adaptive codebook (120) and the synthesis signal of the codevector of the excitation codebook (140). A gain codebook (210) is searched using the corrected autocorrelation and a cross-correlation between a signal obtained by subtraction of the synthesis signal of the codevector of the adaptive codebook (120) from the input speech signal and the synthesis signal of the codevector of the excitation codebook (140).

Abstract: The cash safe (1) has a safe operating unit (7) to be operated selectively by two cashiers (4a, 4b), with only a single banknote output (11) and input (39) unit. The dispensing orifice of the banknote output unit (11) can be closed by means of a two-part cover (13a, 13b). For dispensing banknotes, only that orifice part adjacent to the respective cashier (4a, 4b) is opened in each case. This results in a perfect allocation of the cash sum supplied for one of the two bank employees. Even if there is carelessness, the second bank employee cannot take hold of the banknote bundle supplied for the first bank employee. Preferably, the safe operating unit (7) can be removed from the safe base unit (15) of the cash safe (1), the safe base unit (15) containing a banknote store. The top side of the safe base unit (15) adjacent to the safe operating unit (7) is completely closed, with the exception of a narrow slot, through which the banknotes can be dispensed from or introduced into the banknote store. That is to say, with the safe operating unit (7) removed, there is sufficient protection against unauthorised access to the banknote store. For a choice of routes of the banknotes from banknote input unit (39) to the banknote store or to the banknote dispensing unit (11) or from the banknote store to the banknote dispensing unit (11), a bar-shaped route selection element rotatable about its longitudinal axis is used. The route selection element is pierced at least with a longitudinal slot. An input orifice of an input unit (39) for banknotes can be closed by means of a swing-open cover (57). A lever of a two-armed lever arrangement is arranged on the cover. By means of the lever arrangement, a banknote pressure plate for pressing the banknotes down in order to separate them can be pressed onto a bearing plate. During the pressing-down operation, the banknote pressure plate is movable parallel to the surface of the bearing plate by the lever arrangement as a result of the closing of the cover. <IMAGE>
