Patent CA-2475269-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAKAYOSHI YAMAGUCHI
IPC: H04N5/76
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: When audio dubbing is implemented, error correction is performed for each ECC block. Therefore, even when one byte of data in an ECC block is rewritten, the whole ECC block to which the byte belongs needs to be read and rewritten. When audio dubbing data is scattered in ECC blocks, almost all ECC blocks, or all the data needs be rewritten in order to record audio dubbing data. By constructing ECC blocks including audio dubbing data so as not to contain original data, it is no longer necessary to read and rewrite unnecessary original data when audio dubbing data is overwritten.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a frontal frame, a tub having a plurality of walls collectively define a washing chamber, and a door pivotally mounted to the frontal frame for sealing the washing chamber. During a washing operation, sound generated by operation of a mechanical pump escapes from below the dishwasher. To minimize sound from escaping and to provide a more enjoyable environment, a sound sealing system is mounted at a bottom portion of the dishwasher door. The sound seal system includes a sound tray that extends across the frontal frame below a bottom edge portion of the door. The sound tray can be directly, pivotally attached to the door, or an additional flexible seal is employed to span and seal a gap between the sound tray and the bottom portion of the door.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating immiscible liquids in a dispersion containing an aqueous liquid and at least one dispersed non-aqueous liquid by passing the dispersion through a series of absorbents, preferably polymeric. The direction of the flow through the absorbent is periodically changed. The period required before a change of the flow direction is established by the differential pressure. There is a gradual increase in the differential pressure across the absorbents which indicates a blockage due to viscous oil and/or solids. The product produced by the method and the apparatus of the invention is a polished non-aqueous phase and a polished aqueous phase both having low contaminant levels. In a preferred embodiment when solids are also present in the dispersion, a solids stream is also recovered.
