Abstract: A method of managing a snapshot data of a computer system provided with a computer and a storage subsystem coupled with the computer, and the computer system to which the method is applied are disclosed. The storage subsystem is provided with the duplicated first and second storage units. In the state in which they are duplicated, when a request to update data is issued to the first storage unit, the storage subsystem writes the same updated data onto the second storage unit. When an acquisition of the snapshot is requested by the computer at any time, the storage subsystem suspends the writing of the writing data for the first storage unit onto the second storage unit thereafter. When the writing of the data onto the first storage unit occurs, the computer holds the location of writing the data as differential information. When making the contents of the first storage unit and the second storage unit the same, the data written onto the first storage unit after the acquisition of the snapshot is requested is written onto the second storage unit.

Abstract: Digital video data encoder and decoder operate to enable the low and high speed reproduction of variable rate encoded digital video data by reproducing and decoding intraframe encoded frames that are identified by previously reproduced intraframe encoded frames. In the encoder, digital video data is riable rate encoded (1), for example, intraframe and interframe encoded, entry points (i.e., beginning positions) of selected encoded video data are identified and which represent video frames that occur at predetermined intervals of time (e.g., 1, 2 and 4 seconds) in the video picture. Entry point data that identify these positions are generated (31, 8, 33) and added (32, 6) to the encoded video data before the video data is recorded on the record medium (DSM). When the encoded data is reproduced from the record medium, the entry point data is extracted therefrom and stored, and a successive intraframe encoded frame identified by the extracted entry point data is reproduced and decoded. The invention further provides for a record medium having thereon the encoded digital video data, and also provides for an encoder and corresponding decoder which encode and decode, respectively, digital still image and audio data in which entry points refer to each of the still images and also to particular intervals of time of the audio data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An organic product is purified by circulating it in filled tubes to vary the speed of circulation at each stage of purification and concentration In the purifying an organic product by fractionated crystallization, the speed of circulation in the last stages of purification is greater than the speed of circulation in the last stages of concentration. The speed of circulation is rapid in the last stages of purification and very low in the last stages of concentration, of the order of 5-10 times lower than the main speed. The rapid speed is 0.5-1.2 m/s, preferably 0.7-1.0 m/s. The very low speed is 0.05-0.2 m/s, preferably 0.1-0.15 m/s. The product can circulate in all the tubes in the crystallization phase, but flows through a limited height during the drainage phase. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the above purification, comprising a tube crystallizer, through all of which the product flows, reservoirs to supply the raw product, circulation and drainage of intermediate and purified flows, pipes to transport the products to and from the reservoirs, valves which can place zones of tubes in series to ensure the drainage of each zone, to change the flow rate of the product for each stage and variable speed circulating pumps. Valves can be operated to place each zone in series to ensure drainage, or each zone has a separate drainage system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de piloter des processus de changement de vitesses dans la boîte de vitesses automatisée d'une automobile. Le moteur (1) de l'automobile peut être relié à l'arbre d'entrée de la boîte par l'intermédiaire d'un embrayage (2). Pour effectuer les changements de vitesses et/ou les différentes gammes de vitesse, il est prévu un appareil de commande (4) et un levier de vitesse (5) électronique monté dans l'habitacle. Lorsque le conducteur actionne de manière appropriée le levier de vitesse (5) en cas d'enclenchement du ralenti (gamme de vitesse N) et/ou en cas de changement de vitesses, l'embrayage (2) est ouvert et l'arbre d'entrée de la boîte est désaccouplé de l'arbre du moteur. Ladite boîte de vitesses (3) peut également être mise en mode de ralenti et la plage de conduite de l'automobile (marche ou immobilisation) est déterminée. Les mesures structurelles et les coûts qu'elles impliquent pour une boîte de vitesses automatisée se trouvent réduits, du fait que lorsque l'automobile est en mode de marche, de même que lorsqu'elle roule, en cas d'enclenchement du ralenti et/ou de la marche arrière par le biais du levier de vitesse (5), dans un premier temps, seul l'embrayage (2) est ouvert, de sorte que l'arbre d'entrée de la boîte (même après ouverture de l'embrayage) reste lié aux roues (7) de l'automobile de manière à assurer l'entraînement.
