摘要:
Frame information is recovered from a stream of binary data formed at a transmitter from a block of m.times.n information bits comprising m groups of n bits plus m parity bits, one for each said group of n bits, these parity bits having then been scrambled by performing an exclusive-OR operation in a gate on each parity bit with a respective bit of an m-bit parity scrambling code, said block of bits together with the scrambled parity bits forming a frame for transmission over a transmission link. At a receiver new parity bits are produced in a parity bit generator at the incoming bit rate from the incoming stream of binary data by forming a new parity bit from each successive moving group of n+1 incoming bits. The new parity bits are cyclically distributed to n+1 m-bit shift registers and a framing signal is produced when one of the shift registers holds m bits substantially corresponding to the m bits of the parity scrambling code.

A composition and process for preparing a sprayable solution containing perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) resin. Components of the solution include an aromatic solvent, a binding agent, a surface active agent, and water in addition to the PFA. The solution can generally be sprayed from conventional spraying apparatus at ambient temperatures. A desired use is as a mold release agent, or as a corrosion, wear, or abrasion-resistant coating.

Apparatus is described for multiplexing data recorded in a spatially and temporally demultiplexed manner on tape 12 and replayed by a plurality of replay heads A, B, C, D organized in groups, where each group includes a plurality of replay heads A/C, B/C, connected in common to a head channel 42, 44. First multiplexers 84, 92 multiplex the data in respective head channel, the output of the first multiplexers being stored in respective video buffers 86, 94. A second multiplexer 88 then selectively addresses the video buffers in response control signals to produce a multiplexed output which can reliably be reproduced even under extreme error conditions and in all playback modes.

During shuttle mode operation in a system for the reproduction and storage of frequency separated video signals, the read head intersects a plurality of tracks corresponding to different fields of the image rather than following complete tracks. Accordingly, the full information for any one field is not recovered. To provide an image during shuttle mode, the system reads the dc luminance information of the tracks it intersects at the part where this information is stored. As the information content of the dc luminance information is relatively high, a recognisable image can be formed from this information alone. The dc luminance information is stored in the center of the tracks with the other components arranged in order of increasing frequency towards the edge of the tape. The data which is most important to generation of a high quality image is stored in a place where it is less likely to be degraded.

Image data multiplexing apparatus for multiplexing digital luminance and chrominance data of a representation of an image into multiplexed data blocks of a predetermined length, along with a corresponding demultiplexing apparatus, is described. Each of the multiplexed data blocks comprises a luminance data section comprising luminance data from a portion of the representation, a chrominance data section comprising chrominance data from the portion of the representation, a portion address indicative of the position in the representation of the portion, and a block offset pointer indicative of the position in the multiplexed data block of the boundary between the luminance data section and the chrominance data section.

In an apparatus and method for deriving gradient vectors for use in the spatial interpolation of an input digital video signal; the scan lines of a field of the input digital video signal are high pass filtered so as to provide a high pass filtered video signal which is supplied to a plurality of parallel processing channels in which the high pass filtered video signal is differently low pass filtered so as to form respective low pass filtered video signals, the correlation for a range of pixel offsets is determined pixel-by-pixel for the video signal outputs from the channels so as to form a plurality of gradient vectors for each pixel of the input digital video signal, and the gradient vector is selected, for each pixel of the input digital video signal, which corresponds to the maximum correlation value therefor. The apparatus for deriving gradient vectors is also applicable to a television standards converter.
