    Abstract: A method of processing a digital image representing ribbon-shaped objects of non-uniform intensity contrasting with a background of lower intensity includes an automatic segmentation phase having one or more morphological opening operations effected, respectively, with one or more three-dimensional structuring elements. The latter have a two-dimensional base parallel to the image plane and have a non-binary intensity function in a third dimension. Preferably, the automatic segmentation phase is carried out by means of a set of two-dimensional spatial structuring elements with a third intensity dimension. The set contains N anisotropic structuring elements oriented from .pi./N to .pi./N and one isotropic structuring element.

    Abstract: A single plate (3) is provided with a first lens structure (7) of longitudinal lenses (9) on one side. A pattern of strips (15) of a light-absorbing material is provided on the other side. The strips (15) extend parallel to the longitudinal lenses (9) in the horizontal direction when the screen is in use. The screen includes a second lens structure (19) and a diffuser on the side with the strip pattern. This vertical lens structure (19) ensures the spread of light in the horizontal direction, while the diffuser ensures the spread of light in the vertical and horizontal directions. The lenses (21) of the second lens structure (19) have a very much larger power than those of the first, horizontal lens structure (7).

    Abstract: In a flat panel display or other type of electron device, a thin-film electron emitter (51) and/or emitter array (50) is formed in a semiconductor film (10) of, for example, hydrogenated amorphous and/or microcrystalline Si, SiC.sub.x, SiN.sub.y, SiO.sub.x N.sub.y or the like. An injector electrode (14) forms a potential barrier (.phi..sub.B) with the semiconductor film (10) at a back major surface (12) of the film (10). A front electrode (15) serves for biasing an emission area (11a) of the front major surface (11) at a sufficiently positive potential (V.sub.15) with respect to the injector electrode (14) as to inject electrons (e) over the barrier (.phi..sub.B) in the operation of the emitter (51) while controlling the magnitude of an electron accumulation layer (Ne) in the semiconductor film (10) at the emission area (11a). Under this bias condition the semiconductor film (10) supports a depletion layer from the injector electrode (14) to the electron accumulation layer (Ne), so establishing a field in which the electrons are heated and directed towards the emission area (11a). The electron emission area is a plane surface area (11a) free of the front electrode (15), to which it may be connected directly or by a gateable connection (G,29). Some of the electrons from the injector electrode (14) are emitted at the emission area (11a), while others heat electrons in the accumulation layer (Ne) to stimulate their emission. The front electrode (15) extracts excess electrons not emitted from the emission area (11a). The emitter (51) is well suited for fabrication with thin-film silicon-based technology.

    Abstract: A receiver for receiving reception signals of a first type, for example, TV signals, and reception signals of a second type, for example, FM-radio signals. The receiver may be used in multimedia applications. In the receiver, a single tuner TUN frequency converts a reception signal RFS into an intermediate frequency signal IFS. For relatively small-size implementations, the receiver is a single conversion receiver for both types of reception signals, the single conversion being effected in the tuner TUN. Depending on whether a first-type or second-type reception signal is desired, the tuner TUN provides the intermediate frequency signal IFS at a first intermediate frequency IF1 or a second intermediate frequency IF2, respectively. The intermediate frequency signal IFS at intermediate frequency IF1 is processed in a first intermediate frequency signal processor IFSP1. Alternatively, the intermediate frequency signal IFS at the second intermediate frequency IF2 is processed in a second intermediate frequency signal processor IFSP2.

    Abstract: A calibration method and device are described, notably for a component-placement machine for placing components (30) on a carrier (3), which machine comprises carrier-positioning means (50) and component-positioning means (26, 27, 11; 40). The positions of components placed on a calibration carrier (60, 65) during a calibration procedure is detected by means of a calibration carrier detection device (50) which is present in the machine itself. For obtaining a satisfactory contrast between the components (30) and the calibration carrier surface, the latter may be provided with a reflecting and adhesive foil (65, 66). In a machine provided with a production carrier detection device, this device may be used as a calibration carrier detection device.FIG. 3.

    Abstract: A data compression apparatus for data compressing a digital information signal obtained from a digital audio signal. The digital information signal includes p-bit samples, where p is an integer larger than 1. The apparatus has an input (16) for receiving the digital information signal, and a lossless compression unit (18) for carrying out a substantially lossless compression step on the digital information signal so as to obtain a data compressed digital information signal. The lossless compression unit includes a Rice encoder, which is distinguishable by a code parameter m. Further, an output terminal (22) is available for supplying the data compressed digital information signal. The Rice encoder has a generator unit (30) for generating the code parameter m from N samples of the digital information signal, in accordance with a formula which optimizes the value of m for each frame of N samples.
