Abstract: A transmission apparatus which can realize high demodulation efficiency even in the case where the channel characteristic is deteriorated. The same pattern data as those of the known pattern data contained in the transmitting data to be transmitted to the channel is generated on the receiving side and the correlation between said pattern data and the receiving data to be received through the channel is obtained. Then, the channel characteristic is successively estimated based on the correlation value and the receiving data will be demodulated depending upon said estimated result. Thus, since the channel characteristic can be estimated based on the receiving data, the data can be demodulated correctly even in the case where the receiving data is distorted due to the characteristic deterioration.

Abstract: An airbag module having a cushion with a compression-deployed volume (24). The module includes an inflator which produces a quantity of inflation gas. This gas inflates only a first volume (22) of the cushion, which is positioned to protect a first portion (32) of a passenger's body. Compression of the first volume by the passenger forces the gas from the first volume into a second volume (24), to thus inflate the second volume. The second volume is positioned to protect a second portion (34) of the passenger's body. The initial quantity of inflation gas is thus reused, reducing the amount of gas required. This in turn reduces the size and cost of the inflator. The module is preferred for side impact protection, and a fold arrangement suited to accurate deployment is provided. The folded cushion may be secured to the inflator by a frangible film wrap, eliminating the need for an exterior housing. The module is preferably mounted upon the side of the passenger seat back (16).

Abstract: A light projection engine apparatus uses a wide angle reflecting polarizer material
(preferably 3M DBEF brand double brightness enhancement filter) as a polarizing
beamsplitter to direct polarized light to beam splitter/combiner (such as an X▴cube
diachroic reflector). The beam splitter/combiner then splits the directed polarized light
into separate reflective LCD panels acting as light valves. The LCD panels alter the
polarity of the incident light from 0 degrees up to 90 degrees to control which light is
passes from the wide angle reflecting polarizer back towards the light source and which
light has the necessary polarization change to allow it to pass from the wide angle
reflecting polarizer to the lens system. After reflecting off of the LCD panels, the light
goes back through the X-cube diachroic reflector, where it is recombined. The
recombined light which is of a first polarity is transmitted from the reflecting polarizer to
the lens system, while the recombined light which is ofa second polarity is transmitted to
the light source. The LCDs are preferably analog polarizing LCDs.

Abstract: A video-audio data processor, for editing encoded
video-audio data of plural programs to form a serial
program and then outputting the same, comprises an encoder
(21) for encoding the reproduced video-audio data (CVA) of
each program and recording such data temporarily in a
recording means (22,23). A play-out section (16) records
the encoded data temporarily in another recording means
(26) and then outputs the encoded data. A recording means
selector (18) calculates the quantity of the encoded data
while calculating also the remaining recording capacities
of the plural recording means, and selects one recording
means, where the encoded data are to be recorded, in
accordance with the data quantity and the remaining
recording capacities. A display unit (56A) displays the
remaining recording capacities of the recording means
detected by the recording means selector (18). When the
encoded program is recorded, the remaining recording
capacities of the plural recording means are displayed
together with the quantity of the encoded data, so that an
easy decision can be made as to which one of recording
means is to be selected for recording the program on the
basis of the remaining recording capacities and the data
quantity.
