摘要:
A motion compensation predicting coding apparatus includes a motion detector for comparing pixel data in an image signal with pixel data of the previous image signal to generate a motion vector. The motion vector is indicative of the displacement differences between the image signal and the previous image signal. The image signal may be organized into blocks of pixel data for a single field or for multiple fields when notion detection is performed on the image signal by the motion detector. A subtracter generates a prediction compensation error signal by subtracting the pixel data in the previous image signal from the pixel data of the image signal. A coder receives the prediction compensation error signal and generates an appropriate coded output. The apparatus may also include an adaptive blocking mechanism for receiving the prediction compensation error signal and organizing the data in the signal into blocks into one of several fashions as dictated by the motion vector.

The program guide data collection and delivery device for collecting and delivering program guide data of a plurality of broadcasting stations respectively broadcasting their own programs collects own-station EPG data from a plurality of program guide data transmitting devices respectively corresponding to each of the broadcasting stations, and delivers all-station EPG data to a plurality of program guide data providing devices. By this configuration, the rate of inter-access among the stations is not made high regardless of a frequent modification of EPG data of the broadcasting stations, and the program guide viewers of one station can be provided with the latest EPG data of other stations without changing the individual system configuration, even when there is an increase in the number of broadcasting stations within the whole system.

An optical recording medium having plural signal recording layers, in which a sufficient signal volume is secured even from the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light beam from the opposite side of a transparent substrate with respect to its signal recording surface. If the recording medium has plural signal recording layers in which a reflective film is formed on a signal recording surface of the transparent substrate carrying crests and valleys, the crests and valleys are formed on each transparent substrates so that the value of asymmetry A1 of reproduced signals in the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light beam from the side of the transparent substrate is substantially equal to the value of asymmetry A2 of reproduced signals in the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light from the opposite side. The length and the width of the crests and valleys of the latter signal recording layer are preferably larger by a film thickness of the reflective film than the length and the width of the crests and valleys of the former signal recording layer.

An analyzing portion searches a mass spectrum for a mass peak exceeding a threshold level and adds the mass corresponding to the searched peak to the mass differences listed in an adduct ion table stored in a table, thereby forming a quasi-mass spectrum. The analyzing portion compares the formed quasi-mass spectrum with a measured mass spectrum in terms of mass. If agreement in mass between both the spectra is found, an index S is incremented by one and finally a total value of the index S is calculated. The analyzing portion then searches for another mass peak exceeding the threshold level and executes a similar process. Resulting values of the indexes S are compared with each other and probabilities of m/z and adduct ions are output to a display portion. Emergence frequency is counted for each of detected ion types and stored in storage means. If the measurement is executed in a predetermined number of times, then a greater weight is allocated to the ion types having larger emergence frequency, followed by updating the adduct ion table stored in the table. That arrangement realizes a method and apparatus for measuring and analyzing a mass spectrum by which a quasi-molecular ion and hence the molecular weight of a sample can be quickly estimated with high accuracy while preventing an error from being mixed in the process of analysis.

Ions generated under an atmospheric pressure pass through vacuum chambers partitioned through first, second and third fine holes. The ions are led to an MS part where the ions are mass-analyzed. A first vacuum chamber adjacent to an atmospheric pressure part has not vacuum pump for independently pumping this chamber. The first vacuum chamber is evacuated by a common pump together with a second vacuum chamber via a bypass hole formed in the wall having the second aperture. A pressure of the first vacuum chamber can be set to several 100 Pa, while a pressure of the second vacuum chamber can be set to several 10 Pa. Sufficient desolvation has been attained by an ion acceleration voltage of approximately 100 V in the first vacuum chamber, while a speed spread can be restrained. The ions are accelerated by approximately 10 V in the second vacuum chamber, and the speed can be restrained as low as possible.

In a three dimensional quadrupole mass spectrometry, ions created in an ion source 1 are introduced into a three dimensional quadrupole field 7 formed in an ion introduction space and trapped therein. When one or more parameters of the three dimensional quadrupole field is scanned, the ions of which oscillation are instablized are successively discharged to the outside thereof and are detected by a detector 12. The signal representing the detected ions is processed by a data processing unit 13 to determine mass spectrum thereof. Prior to the above mass spectrometry, a preliminary measurement for the created ions is performed by detecting the ions passing through the ion introduction space as they are with no influences therefrom within a predetermined period by the detector 12 and a time interval during which the created ions are to be introduced into the ion introduction space for the mass spectrometry is determined based on the detected ion amount in the preliminary measurement. Thereby, the measurement time by the three dimensional quadrupole mass spectrometry is shortened while preventing ion saturation and space charge caused by the ions.
摘要:
A magnetic head having a control portion provided integrally with an opposing surface located opposing the recording surface of a magnetic disc or a head mount for generating a negative pressure between the control portion and the magnetic disc to attract the magnetic disc towards the magnetic head, thereby generating an adequate and sufficient negative pressure in the vicinity of the magnetic head and achieving a good head touch. This configuration enables compact design of the mechanism and an increased recording area of the magnetic disc compared with the case in which a magnetic head and a negative pressure generation type stabilizing plate to attract the magnetic disc towards the magnetic head are separately disposed, and eliminates the need for procedures for separate positioning of the individual magnetic head and stabilizing plate, thereby achieving a considerable reduction in manufacturing steps and production cost.
摘要:
A nebulized jet from a nebulizer is subjected to mechanical agitation and stirring to render the mists uniform and fine, then the droplets of the mists thus rendered uniform and fine are ionized. By accelerative collision of the resulting ions in a medium pressure chamber it is made possible to effect desolvation efficiently. Consequently, chemical noises caused by cluster ions can be greatly diminished and it is possible to attain high sensitive measurement of a sample in atmospheric pressure ionizations LC/MS.
摘要:
An interframe coding system which eliminates higher frequency components contained in an image signal effectively and adaptively with an adaptive filter provided in a coding loop. The adaptive filter eliminates the higher frequency components with the optimal filtering intensity for an image signal specified with a filtering coefficient which is decided by a filter controller. The filtering coefficient is decided by normalization of the difference between an input image signal and a predictive signal from a frame memory by the "Activity" of the input image signal or the predictive signal. The "Activity" can be based upon the sum of the absolute or squared difference values based upon the mean value of luminance intensity of pixels of the image signal.

Gate electrodes of an N-channel transistor and a P-channel transistor are formed on a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulator therebetween. After conducting a first thermal treatment to the gate electrodes, N-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the N-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the N-channel transistor as a mask. After conducting a second thermal treatment to the N-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the first thermal treatment, P-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the P-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the P-channel transistor as a mask. Then, a third thermal treatment is conducted to the P-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the second thermal treatment.
