Abstract:
In a digital signal recording apparatus it is possible to input plural kinds of digital information signals having different bit rates from one another. Recording is performed for each data block which includes a predetermined amount of data which includes main data corresponding to the digital information. The ratio of the main data within the data block is switched in accordance with each kind of digital information signal.
Abstract:
A pipeline bus having a plurality of slots in a backplane for receiving functional modules. A bus line is connected between the slots. A register and a selector are provided between each two adjacent slots. An image signal and a sync signal are transmitted from upper to lower slots in synchronism with the clock signal. The selectors output a signal either from the register or from the associated functional module to the register which is downstream.
Abstract:
A predictive coding device comprises sampling circuitry for sub-nyquist sampling a video signal, and predictive coding circuitry for receiving a sampling value from said sampling means and outputting an encoded code. The predictive coding circuitry includes an encoder for encoding a difference between the sampling value and a predicted value corresponding to the sampling value, and outputting the encoded code, and a predictor for generating the predicted value using only an array of pixels in a vertical direction of a screen with respect to a sampling value of a pixel to be encoded by the encoder.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reproducing signals from a multiplicity of parallel tracks in a recording medium by means of n number of rotary heads, n being an integer not less than 3. A transportation device for transporting the recording medium is controlled on the basis of two kinds of signal: namely, a tracking control signal for leading one of the n number of rotary heads to one of m number of tracks contained in consecutive n number of tracks, m being an integer not less than 2; and a track shift signal which is generated in accordance with the result of a determination as to whether the n number of rotary heads are tracing expected tracks and which enable the tracks under tracing to be shifted to obtain a predetermined relationship between the sequence of the n number of rotary heads and the sequence of the tracks traced by these rotary heads.

A decoding method for digital data having a two-dimensional arrangement including error correction check codes in both for first and second directions, wherein, an error correcting method having a value in which the result of the arithmetic operation for error correction was added to syndromes in at least one of the first and second directions is obtained and error correction is again executed on the basis of this value. In addition, an error correcting apparatus having a plurality of syndrome calculating units are provided so that a plurality of syndromes can be simultaneously calculated.
Abstract:
An information data transmission system deals with a plurality of kinds of information data different in quantity from one another and respectively corresponding to prescribed amounts of an information signal. The system has first encoding circuitry for encoding the plurality of kinds of information data and second encoding circuitry for predictively encoding the plurality of kinds of information data. The timing of the production of outputs from the first and second encoding circuits is such that, for all kinds of the plurality of information data, the quantity of information data encoded by the first encoding circuitry is equalized.
Abstract:
A method of improving the radiation resistant characteristic of a BF.sub.3 proportional counter, comprising a tube having electrodes provided thereon and BF.sub.3 gas filled therein, by subjecting the counter before use to any one of 10.sup.4 -2.times.10.sup.5 R gamma ray, 10.sup.4 -2.times.10.sup.5 R X-ray, or 10.sup.10 -10.sup.11 nvt thermal neutron with a direct current high voltage applied between the above stated electrodes. The counter thus adapted exhibits little deterioration even in the surroundings of strong gamma ray, X-ray, and thermal neutron flux, and can maintain a stable operation. In particular, since the upper limit of the radiation amount in the process of improving the radiation resistant characteristic is set at a low value, the remaining life of the BF.sub.3 proportional counter is not shortened unduely.

A photoelectric element 10 includes a substrate 12 that transmits incident light, an intermediate layer 14 made of HfO2, an under layer 16, and a photoelectron emitting layer 18 containing an alkali metal. That is, the photoelectric element 10 includes the intermediate layer 14 formed between the substrate 12 and the photoelectron emitting layer 18. Thereby, a photoelectric element that can exhibit a high value of effective quantum efficiency, an electron tube including the same, and a method for producing a photoelectric element are realized.
Abstract:
When a moving picture is encoded with a high compression ratio by the MPEG, the block noise becomes remarkable. Matching is calculated between the first and the second key frame and corresponding point information is generated. According to this corresponding point information, a virtual second key frame is generated. A difference between the actual second key frame and the virtual second key frame is compressed/encoded by a difference encoder. The first key frame, the corresponding point information, and the compressed/encoded difference are outputted as encoded data between the first and second key frame.
