摘要:
A roll-your-own smoking article (10) made from a laminate of tobacco (2) and paper (1) which includes one or more layers of tobacco (2) adhered to one surface of the paper (1). At least two opposing edges (E1, E2) of the paper (1) are free from tobacco. The laminate (1) can be rolled to form a smoking article (10), wherein the smoking article (10) is produced by rolling about one of the tobacco free edges (E2) and where the other tobacco free edge (E1) fixes to the outside surface of the rolled smoking article (10) to retain it in the rolled form.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section that forms a toner image. A transferring section (24, 21Y, 21M, 21C, and 21BK) transfers the toner image formed onto a recording medium. A fixing unit (15) is located adjacent the image forming section such that a first space (28) is defined between the fixing unit and the image forming section. The fixing unit fixes the toner image on the recording medium. An air-chamber (26, 31, 41, 50) includes a wind exit (29, 52) and discharges the air through the wind exit such that the air flows into the first space. An air-propelling device (27, 51) propels the air to discharge through the wind exit.

A discreet teletext subtitle line is used to notify viewers that a teletext page exists with additional information relating to a television programme. Viewers have instant access to this teletext information by pressing a single key on a remote control. A digital television receiver accepts the single key press in response to the subtitle line and automatically switches to teletext mode and displays the relevant page, without the viewer needing to enter the page number on his remote control.

An adaptive quantiser holds a model of the output distribution the would be obtained by inputting an expected signal as a desired output distribution. The actual input signal is monitored and the quantisation steps modified in dependence thereon so that the desired output distribution is obtained. The adaptive quantiser has application in fields as diverse a speech processing and educational test grading.

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for integrating the operation of a plurality of radio networks. The plurality of radio networks may utilize a common frequency spectrum. The radio center frequencies are adjusted so that frequency drift in relation to each radio network is reduced. Also, system information about the plurality of radio networks may be sent on a radio channel that is associated with one of the radio networks. An oscillator synchronizer (517) synchronizes a first reference oscillator (505) that is associated with a first radio network (501) and a second reference oscillator (509) that is associated with a second radio network (503) in order to adjust radio center frequencies. With a variation of the embodiment (519), a reference oscillator (509) of one of the radio network (503) adjusts center frequencies for radios (507) that are associated with the other radio network (501).
