Abstract: For the transmission of a digital video signal via a transmission medium (11) consecutive pictures of N x M picture elements are subdivided into sub-pictures, a sub-picture being assembled from n x m picture elements. The maximum and the minimum value (Umax, Umin) of a video signal component associated with the picture elements in a sub-picture are determined. In addition, the amplitudes of a video signal component associated with the picture elements in the sub-picture are quantized with a given number of p bits, by means of subdividing the dynamic range (DR) of the video signal component within this sub-picture, into 2<p> equal sub-ranges. At the receiver end dequantization is effected in the following manner. On dequantization, a value which is equal to the said maximum value (Umax) is assigned for at least one of the picture elements in the sub-picture for which the signal component has the highest quantized amplitude (UQmax) to this (those) picture element(s), but in the event that there are two more of those picture elements, not to all these picture elements. For at least one of the picture elements in the sub-picture for which the video signal has the lowest quantized amplitude (UQmin) a value which is equal to the said minimum value (Umin) is assigned to this (those) picture element(s) on dequantization, but not to all these picture elements in the event that there are two or more of those picture elements.

Abstract: A lock cylinder (1) carries a bore (4) passing through the cylinder housing (5), the cylinder core (6) and the key channel (3). A radiation source (9) and a sensor (10) are provided in a rose (8) or in another component surrounding the lock cylinder (1). Electronic signals of different amplitudes are generated by bores (13 to 20) of differing size which are located in the key bit of a flat key (12) and which fade out the beam path in the bore (4) of the lock cylinder. These signals are divided in a receiver (11) into a clock track (21) and a code track (22) by means of two threshold values. The code resulting from this is compared in a comparator circuit (23) with at least one desired code of one or more code stores (26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34). When the codes correspond, the release of an electromechanical blocking mechanism (25) additionally provided takes place. One code store (26) contains a cyclically activatable sequence of codes (C1, C2, C3), a further store (27) is freely programmable (Cn) after the insertion of a programming key into the lock, and a third store (31 to 34) allows individual direct access to the storage locations (C10, C20, C30, ... Ci) by means of a programming unit (35). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wiper arrangement for vehicle windows has a wiper arm (29) which is provided with a pivot drive (5) and at whose free end part (28) a rotational bearing (63) for a wiper blade (16) is provided. A control mechanism (4) which is assigned to the pivot drive (5) ensures, during the pivoting movement of the wiper arm (29), that the wiper blade moves backwards and forwards in an approximately linear fashion approximately parallel to a side edge of the window (32) of the vehicle. For this purpose, the wiper arm (29) has two parts (27, 28) which can be displaced telescopically one in the other. The control mechanism (4) has a control element (41) which is arranged fixed to the vehicle and to which a sensing element (6) which is associated with the wiper arm is assigned. The wiper arm (29) can be moved into a position of rest in the region of the lower edge of the window, in which position the wiper blade (16) lies approximately parallel to the wiper arm (29). An actuator drive (19) deactivates the control mechanism (4) in a central operating position so that the longitudinal displacement of the wiper arm and the rotary drive (50) of the wiper blade (16) is arrested. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A band assembly (24) for effecting a seal particularly adapted for use in establishing a joint between a sewer pipe and a reinforced concrete manhole riser. The seal is affected by a tapered elastomeric tubular connector boot and a clamping band member with an expansion mechanism (30). Wedge followers (31,32) are loosely captured in the end sections of the clamping band and lie along a circumferential center line on the band. Driving wedges extend along an axis transverse to the circumferential center line. The wedge followers and wedge drivers both have divergent edge sections that interengage and slide over one another as the driving wedges (40,41) are pulled together by a clamping mechanism comprising, in a simplest form, a nut and bolt. As the driving wedges move toward the circumferential center line, they displace the wedge followers. The wedge followers engage the end portions of the clamping band and force it and the connector boot into a sealing relationship with the surrounding manhole riser. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un transducteur mesure la pression d'un fluide à l'intérieur d'un conduit creux, en général un conduit ayant une section circulaire, ayant une région centrale qui est déformée en section non circulaire. Cette partie non circulaire du conduit se déplace radialement et de manière répétée sans hystérèse en réponse à la pression du fluide s'écoulant dans le conduit d'une manière qui correspond à la pression. Un ensemble à condensateur variable (26), ou un groupe de jauges de contraintes (A, B, C, D) monté sur l'extérieur de la partie non circulaire, produisent un signal électrique proportionnel au déplacement radial ou à la contrainte, respectivement. Dans une forme capacitive (26), une paire d'électrodes (24) est montée sur les côtés opposés de la partie non circulaire formée comme parties extrêmes libres d'éléments en feuille métallique avec un canal central. Dans une autre forme capacitive (26'), des électrodes (24') sont montées à une extrémité ou aux deux extrémités de bras de levier qui, à leur tour, sont couplés à la partie non circulaire avec un ensemble de plaques de flexion (34, 36) pour produire une amplification mécanique du déplacement radial.

Abstract: A gas stream comprising hydrogen sulphide is preheated in a heat exchanger 2. Part of its hydrogen sulphide content is burnt in a furnace 6 to form sulphur dioxide and water vapour. Pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air is used to support combustion. The sulphur dioxide reacts with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour and further water vapour. The sulphur vapour is removed from the gas stream in a condenser 14. The gas stream is then divided into first and second subsidiary streams. The hydrogen sulphide content of the first subsidiary stream is totally converted to sulphur dioxide in an incinerator 16 using pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air to support its combustion. Water vapour is then removed from the first subsidiary stream in a condenser 20, and the resulting gas stream now relatively rich in sulphur dioxide, is recycled to the furnace 6. The second subsidiary stream is subjected to a plurality of stages 26 of catalytic reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide to form further sulphur vapour which is removed therefrom. <IMAGE>
