Abstract: Efficient random access is made possible. A group of video plane (GOV) layers in which encoding start absolute time is arranged to be within an accuracy of a second is provided as the layer of a coded bit stream. The GOV layer can be inserted not only at the head of the coded bit stream but at an arbitrary position in the coded bit stream. The display time of each video object plane (VOP) constituting the GOV layer is represented by modulo_time_base which represents absolute time in the unit of a second with the encoding start absolute time as standard and VOP_time_increment which represents in the unit of a millisecond the time that has elapsed since time (synchronization point) indicated by the modulo_time_base.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un poste mobile sans fil destiné à un système de communication sans fil comprend un émetteur-récepteur sans fil et un récepteur du système mondial de localisation (GPS); l'émetteur-récepteur sans fil et le récepteur GPS partageant un signal de référence pour la fréquence. Le signal de référence pour la fréquence peut être multiplié par un multiple d'entier pour créer un premier oscillateur local servant à convertir le signal en fréquence intermédiaire pour effectuer le traitement du signal GPS. En outre, le signal de référence pour la fréquence peut également être divisé en une fréquence inférieure pour créer un deuxième oscillateur local servant à la conversion en une deuxième fréquence intermédiaire. Le signal de référence pour la fréquence peut également être divisé pour créer une fréquence nécessaire à un autre traitement du signal, tel qu'un signal d'échantillonnage de convertisseur analogique-numérique au niveau du récepteur GPS. Le signal de référence pour la fréquence peut être extrait de différents endroits au sein du mécanisme de synthèse de fréquences de l'émetteur-récepteur sans fil. Par exemple, dans une forme de réalisation, le signal de référence pour la fréquence est un signal d'oscillateur de référence, dans une autre forme de réalisation le signal de référence pour la fréquence est un signal radioélectrique alors que dans une forme de réalisation encore différente le signal de référence pour la fréquence est un signal de commande radioélectrique. L'erreur de fréquence peut être éliminée du signal de référence pour la fréquence au moyen du verrouillage sur une porteuse de station de base.

Abstract: A practical way to enhance signal quality (carrier to interference, C/I) in both up and downlink of wireless point to multi-point CDMA service implements basic radio direction finding techniques to allow for optimal diversity combining in an antenna array employing large number of elements. This approach is facilitated through the use of very small bit counts arithmetic and capitalizing on finite alphabet signal structure (Walsh symbols, for example in IS-95 CDMA) or a known training sequence. Alternate implementations can use floating point data representations. The method facilitates ASIC implementation, thereby enabling distributed processing to achieve the required computation practicality. The method utilizes the uplink channel data to determine the downlink spatial structure (array beams) to enhance downlink C/I and hence increase downlink capacity. The preferred embodiment is optimized to IS-95, however any signal that has either a finite alphabet or a training sequence built in can utilize the same idea. The use of the known signal structure facilitates simple array response vector determination and eliminates the necessity for covariance matrix calculation and analysis. Hence, this approach can be utilized for GSM and TDMA wireless air-interfaces as well.

Abstract: A steel profile with maximum and minimum local cross sectional temperatures is clamped and cooled down. As a consequence of clamping, the lower limit temperature produces a thermal dilatation in all profile fibers which is greater than the dilatation which would be required for fiber plasticizing of the non clamped profile with the highest compressive residual stresses. A steel profile (1) with maximum and minimum local cross-sectional temperatures respectively below the Ar1 point and above a lower limit temperature θ u is clamped at its ends (1a, 1b) and is cooled down. As a consequence of clamping, the lower limit temperature θ u produces a thermal dilatation in all profile fibers which is greater than the dilatation which would be required for fiber plasticizing of the non clamped profile with the highest compressive residual stresses.

Abstract: In general, it is difficult for the end user to implement a simulate illustration process for an image, since manual setups of the process are complicated and require skills. Also, there is room for improvement in terms of image quality. In this invention, the luminance histogram of an original image is generated, the brightness of that image is detected based on the histogram, and the image undergoes a filter process corresponding to the detected brightness, thus easily performing the simulate illustration process using bright tone for the image. Especially, since a filter is set for rasterized image data in correspondence with the number of lines of the data to be processed, an effective simulate illustration process can be implemented. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention disclosed provides a method for inducing nucleation in a polymer by subjecting the polymer containing dissolved gas to an external stress generated, for example, by applying hydrostatic or mechanical pressure. The applied stress restricts the bubble growth so that the foamed materials have small cells and high cell density. Such microcellular foams can be produced over a wide low temperature range, i.e. from the temperature at which the polymer is conditioned with the blowing agent up to about the glass transition temperature of the polymer-blowing agent system. Stress induced nucleation can also be conducted at higher temperatures i.e. up to about the Tg of the neat polymer, leading to foams with larger cells. A variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous foams can be produced by this technique.
