Abstract: Steam iron having a sole plate with a steam chamber, and a sealed liquid reservoir. A drip valve supplies the steam chamber with liquid from the liquid reservoir. One or more one-way gas valves between the liquid reservoir and ambient air let air enter the reservoir in response to local negative pressures within the reservoir caused by movement of water within the reservoir, such as during reciprocal ironing motion. A pressure-equalizing passage is formed within a manually operable rod of the drip valve, such that only one opening is required in the lower wall of the liquid reservoir.

Abstract: Improved Wavefront Coding Optics, which apply a phase profile to the wavefront of light from an object to be imaged, retain their insensitivity to focus related aberration, while increasing the heights of the resulting MTFs and reducing the noise in the final images. Such improved Wavefront Coding Optics have the characteristic that the central portion of the applied phase profile is essentially flat (or constant), while a peripheral region of the phase profile around the central region alternately has positive and negative phase regions relative to the central region.

Abstract: The invention to which this application relates is a method for
the control and application of a power supply to a low noise
block (LNB) device and/or associated apparatus connected to a
broadcast data receiver. The apparatus and method includes
control means which, upon the switching on of the power supply
checks the voltage level at the LNB and if the voltage level
exceeds a predefined threshold the LNB is deemed to be
operable. If the voltage level is below the threshold level, the
LNB is deemed to be inoperable, the power supply switched off
and then reapplied a period of time later and again the voltage
level is checked. This allows genuine failure to be detected but
allows initial failure due to capacitance loading to be overcome
and an operable LNB to be accurately detected.

Abstract: A video information stream distribution unit distributes streams such as MPEG streams that contain packets making up sub-streams. Each packet having an identification code that identifies the sub-stream to which the packet belongs. The stream also contains table information that relates programs to said identification codes. The distribution unit generates a new stream from a received stream. In the new stream selected packets from the received stream are copied that have identification codes related to a selected program. In the new stream the table information for the selected program is included with an increased repetition rate in comparison with an incoming repetition rate of the table information in the received stream, at least temporarily during an initial time interval following a change of selection of the selected program. Thus, latency involved with access to the new stream is reduced.
