Inventor: REUMAN STEVEN R
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: An image encoding/decoding apparatus for performing transform coding by a method in which blocking artifacts are suppressed or eliminated is disclosed in which encoded data, transmitted by the encoding apparatus, is converted into received image data terms which are subsequently overlap transformed into frequency coefficients for modification by means of a filtering operation utilizing a quantization error matrix. The quantization error matrix can be derived from quantization error data generated in the encoding unit, or can be provided as a look-up table in the decoding unit. The modified frequency coefficients are converted into reduced-noise image data terms for reconstruction into a digital image.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'emmagasinage à rayonnages sous forme de tunnel, dans lequel chaque canal de rayonnage est muni d'un convoyeur (1) comportant un élément de transport (2) circulant en continu. Les articles (15, 15A...) à emmagasiner sont maintenus par liaison de force sur l'élément de transport (2). Dans la zone terminale du canal de rayonnage, située côté prélèvement, il est prévu une goulotte (5) fixe dont la longueur effective correspond à 0,8 à 1,2 fois la section de sortie centrale non freinée de l'élément de transport (2) mis en mouvement par le prélèvement des articles (15, 15A...). La liaison de force qui intervient entre l'élément de transport (2) et les articles (15, 15A...) qui y sont déposés est interrompue avant la zone active de la goulotte (5). Ce type de configuration permet de supprimer la liaison de force entre l'élément de transport (2) et la palette (15), lors du prélèvement de la palette la plus en avant, ce qui permet de parvenir à un ralentissement fiable et en douceur de l'élément de transport (2) en mouvement, sans que les articles emmagasinés ne risquent d'être éjectés à l'extrémité du rayonnage.

Abstract: The grinding wheel (1) is fitted into a housing with a controlled width gap (4) between the housing and the outer profile of the wheel. The ring-shaped gap is broken at the working site (6) of the wheel as well as at a lubricant duct (7) inside the housing. Here lubricant is fed to the outer profile of the wheel in a controlled film. The space between the outer profile of the wheel and the housing can vary progressively around the contour of the housing. The two gaps in the ring-shaped gap break up the air film normally dragged round with a grinding wheel. This enables a thin layer of lubricant to be added, with the lubricant thrown off the wheel at the working point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying bottom-blown gas
through a porous plug in ladle for molten metal refining. 
     A gas supply pipe 3 is connected to a bottom-blowing porous plug 2 attached at
the bottom of a ladle 1. An accumulator tank 11a, which is provided in parallel with
the gas supply pipe 3. 
     The bottom-blown gas is accumulated into the accumulator tank 11a, and
blown into the ladle 1 to agitate the molten metal through the gas supply pipe 3 during
refining. After the refining is finished, the switching valve 4 of the gas supply pipe 3
is closed, the switching valve 4a of the accumulator tank 11a is opened and the bottom
blowing of a small amount of gas is supplied, and the blowing apparatus 10 is separated
from the gas supply source 6 by removing the joint 5. 
     The bottom blowing of a small amount of gas for a long period of time
prevents the molten metal from permeating into the ventilating pores of the bottom
blowing porous plug after the refining, so that the solidification of molten metal in the
ventilating pores of porous plug and the clogging of the pores can be avoided.
Thereby, the repeated use of porous plug is made possible without the replacement of
the porous plug.

system (11) for decoding coded data of each picture more forward than a skip start
point, a second decoding system (12) for decoding coded data of each picture

so as to switch a data string decoded by the first decoding system (11) to a data
string decoded by the second decoding system. The second decoding system (12)
completes decoding of all of pictures required to decode pictures following the skip
end point prior to completion of decoding pictures more forward than the skip start
point by the first decoding system (11). When the first decoding system (11) has
decoded the pictures more forward than the skip start point, the second decoding
system (12) outputs decoded data of each picture following the skip end point. The
switch (9) switches an output from the first decoding system (11) to an output from
the second decoding system (12) when the first decoding system (11) has decoded
pictures more forward than the skip start point.

Abstract: A transponder for conducting a contact-free remote inquiry contains at least one coding unit (13.1) with in each case several parallel coding channels (14.1 to 14.6). The inquiry signals received by an antenna (10) are then directed via a common delay-enhancing signal line (12), before being processed in the coding unit. The delay enhancing signal line (12) and the coding channels (14.1 to 14.6) are preferably integrated on the same SAW chip. The common signal line results in a propagation-time delay, which makes it easier to separate the responding signal from interfering environmental reflections. Since the delay-enhancing signal line is located in an independent acoustic channel on the SAW chip, the other coding channels (14.1 to 14.6) can be considerably shortened. The end result is a marked reduction in the chip area with comparable coding possibilities.

Abstract: In an advanced intelligent network, a method of using a Service Control Point (22) for managing the overloading of calls, for example, from calling parties in LATA A (20) associated with Service Switching Points SSP 1 - SSP n to a single telephone number (operators) in LATA Z (24) associated with SSP m (40). The method enables Service Control Point (22) to service a small percentage of the time during measurement intervals in order to receive Termination Notification messages. The Service Control Point (22) then determines from the content of the Termination Notification messages for each measurement interval, the rate of attempted calls and the fraction of the total calls that were incomplete (i.e., erroneous or received a busy signal) for a telephone number n, and invokes Automatic Code Gapping for the number n where both the attempted call rate and the incomplete calls exceed a predetermined threshold. If the threshold continues to be exceeded in subsequent measurement intervals, a larger gap interval for the Automatic Code Gapping can be set, and the process repeated until the proper gap is found.

said intermediate audio frequency range, and a part of the high frequency range near said intermediate frequency range are maintained, so
