criterion whether to perform a lossy compression on the basis of the quantized
coefficient blocks or a lossless compression of each quantized coefficient block, and performing
the compression in accordance with the result of the decision of the previous step.
The invention further is concerned with a method for compressing digital images comprising
the steps of defining blocks of pixels, performing a discrete cosine transform to obtain
coefficient blocks for at least two of the blocks, performing a coefficient quantization to

Abstract: The selection of which channel to use by a cable modem terminating
system (CMTS) (103) is made a function of input supplied by a spectrum
analyzer (105). Note that typically the cable distribution system has
coupled to it at the head end not only the CMTS (103) but also a
spectrum analyzer (105), which has been used in the prior art only for
initial establishment and subsequent maintenance of the network, tasks
which are performed manually by field technicians. In one embodiment of
the invention an interface is established between the CMTS (103) and the
spectrum analyzer (105) so that the CMTS (103) and the spectrum analyzer
(105) can communicate with each other, and the decision on which channel
to use for the upstream is made by the CMTS based at least in part on
information provided by the spectrum analyzer. Alternatively, the
CMTS (103) and spectrum analyzer (105) are each interfaced to a spectrum
controller (101) which makes the decision of which channel to use for
the upstream based at least in part on information provided by the
spectrum analyzer. The spectrum controller then instructs the CMTS to
carry out its decision.

Abstract: The mixer comprises a set (1) of four cold transistors (2-5), which are of the Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) type, and the 180 deg. phase-shifted signals couplers for the radio-frequency signals (RF, RF'/2), the local oscillator signals (OL, OL') and the intermediate frequency signals (FI, FI') connected to the set by coplanar links of tape or waveguide type. The transistors (2-5) are in an in-line configuration with the midpoint input of the RF signal, and the end-points inputs of the RF'/2 signal, which is phase-shifted by 180 deg. with respect to the RF signal. The set of four transistors is constituted by two groups of transistors, (2,3) and (4,5), where the transistors in each group are connected by the drains (D), and the transistors of the two groups in the middle of line are connected by the sources (S), which is the common point receiving the radio-frequency signal. The RF coupler comprises three 180 deg. phase-shifted signals couplers of the drain-source type, including an input and two output couplers, for delivering the RF signal and two identically phase-shifted by 180 deg. RF'/2 signals to the set of four transistors. The signals are obtained by a selective summation of signals obtained at the outputs of two couplers, each receiving one of the phase-shifted signals delivered by the input coupler, via the drain and the source of a transistor, and deriving from the radio-frequency signal applied to the gate of the transistor. The two output couplers are connected so that the drain of first and the source of second are connected to the same potential but of opposite sign via resistors, whereas the source of first and the drain of second are connected to the ground via resistors. The radio-frequency signal appearing at the source of first coupler is combined by a capacitive link with the signal appearing at the drain of second coupler to constitute the RF signal, and the radio-frequency signals appearing at the drain of first coupler and the source of second coupler are distributed to the two outputs delivering the RF'/2 signals, which are electrically equilibrated. The set of four transistors and the couplers are implemented in the MMIC technology, or in hybrid technology.

Abstract: The insulated one-piece garment to lie against the patient's skin has sliding clasp fasteners (1.4,1.6) as the closures. The garment fabric has three layers. The outer layer is impermeable. The center layer of the sandwich is an anti-bacterial foam with a pore size of ≤ 0.3 mu m, bonded to the outer layer by quilting stitches to give an air filter action and retain the scales from the patient's skin. The inner layer is formed with a cladded yarn of cotton with a polyester coating, held together by a diagonal of cotton and polyester at the edges to prevent perforation and increase the filtration. The garment covers the patient from head to foot, in a T-shape for the body and the arms and an opening for the neck, with two sliding clasp fasteners (1.4) along the arms. The cuffs are closed by press buttons (1.5) to seal them. The body of the garment is sealed by sliding clasp fasteners (1.6) from the neck to the feet, along the legs, and the ankles are sealed by inner press buttons (1.7) at the ends of the fasteners. A hood is fitted at the neck by press buttons, in a pocket structure which can hold the garment when it is rolled up and not in use, fitted with a center handle. The garment can be in a number of sizes, and laid out flat for the patient to be laid on it for dressing.

Abstract: A headbox, for example, in a pulp or board machine, is suitable for high basis weights which are over 400 g/m<SUP>2 </SUP>and for high fiber suspension consistencies which are in a range of 2-5%. The headbox has a turbulence part ( 1 ), into which a fiber suspension flows from a tube bank ( 2 ), and a slice part ( 3 ) which is situated after the turbulence part and from which the fiber suspension flows to a forming section of a fibrous web. The turbulence part ( 1 ) of the headbox has at least two passages ( 5, 6 ), which converge in the flow direction of the fiber suspension towards the slice part ( 3 ). In that connection, the fiber suspension flow is first fluidized in a tortuous turbulence passage part ( 11 ) and, after that, it decelerates in another widening deceleration passage ( 12 ).

Abstract: Target cell of a neutron scattering device,
containing liquid metal target material, has its beam
window, through which proton beam enters, formed in a
structure that is thin and yet can stand both pressure wave
stress and thermal stress. In the target cell comprising
an outer casing and an inner casing, both having a front
face formed with the beam window, and being formed in a
double structure of the outer casing and the inner casing
with a predetermined distance maintained therebetween so
that cooling medium is supplied there and target material
is supplied into the inner casing, the beam window of the
inner casing is made in a flat plate structure. By this
flat plate structure, its rigidity is lowered and cell
stress of a secondary stress character caused in the target
cell by the pressure wave is reduced. Or, the beam window
of the inner casing is formed to have a linear front face
in the vertical section and a continuously curved front
face in the horizontal section. Thereby, in the beam
window of the inner casing, the pressure wave stress and
the thermal stress are coped with by the linear front face
and the continuously curved front face, respectively.
