Abstract: An MPEG video decompression method and apparatus utilizing a plurality of stages interconnected by a two-wire interface arranged as a pipeline processing machine. Control tokens and DATA Tokens pass over the single two-wire interface for carrying both control and data in token format. A token decode circuit is positioned in certain of the stages for recognizing certain of the tokens as control tokens pertinent to that stage and for passing unrecognized control tokens along the pipeline. Reconfiguration processing circuits are positioned in selected stages and are responsive to a recognized control token for reconfiguring such stage to handle an identified DATA Token. A wide variety of unique supporting subsystem circuitry and processing techniques are disclosed for implementing the system, including memory addressing, transforming data using a common processing block, time synchronization, asynchronous swing buffering, storing of video information, a parallel Huffman decoder, and the like.

Abstract: A RAM implementation of asynchronous swing buffering is provided in which two buffers are operated asynchronously; one is written while the other is read. Accordingly, this allows for a data stream having a fast rate of through-put to be resynchronized to another rate, while still maintaining a desired rate. In the invention, the write control and read control both have state indicators for communicating which buffer they are using and whether the controls are waiting for access or are, in fact, accessing that buffer.

Abstract: Apparatus for drying utensils comprises a chamber 1 and a gas-fired burner 20, such as a fully premixed burner, for firing into the chamber. Fans 30 blow air into the chamber and deflectors 31 direct air from the fans 30, via openings 43, to mix with the hot gaseous combustion products produced by the burner 20 to provide a hot mixture. A duct portion 7 directs the hot gaseous mixture from the chamber into a drying region 9 and over the utensils which pass through the drying region to be dried. The hot mixture is used to dry the utensils by direct contact.
