    摘要: In order to reduce the likelihood of incorrect states being transferred from one cross-coupled transistor pair to the next in a frequency divider which comprises at least two such pairs (6a, 7a and 8a, 9a) which are energized alternately by means of a switchable current source arrangement (5) and which are inter-coupled to form a cyclic arrangement by means of data transfer transistors (6b, 7b, 8b and 9b) energized from the same outputs (22, 23) of the current source arrangement, the transistors employed are of the insulated gate field effect type. The channel width-to-length ratios of the pair transistors (6a, 7a, 8a, 9a) may be chosen to be different from the corresponding ratios for the data transfer transistors (6b, 7b, 8b, 9b) in order to improve either the high-frequency or the low frequency performance in accordance with the sign of such difference.

    摘要: The invention relates to the transmission of MPEG encoded television signals from a Video-On-Demand server (1) to a receiver (2) via a network (3). Non-linear playback functions such as ‘pause’ and ‘resume’ require a very accurate control of the bit stream, taking account of typical network aspects such as network latency and remultiplexing. In order to allow the receiver to flawlessly resume signal reproduction after a pause, position labels (p; 5,6; 7a,7b,8a,8b) are inserted into the bit stream at positions where the server can resume transmission of the signal after an interruption. Upon a pause request, the decoder initially continues the reproduction until such a position label is detected. The subsequent bits delivered by the network are ignored, i.e. they are thrown away. Upon a request to resume reproduction, the receiver requests the server to retransmit the signal starting at the detected position.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method and arrangement for accessing interactive audiovisual programs stored on a remote server (1) by a multimedia station (2). The audiovisual program is stored in the same format as it is stored on a CDi disc, i.e. in the form of sectors. Although based on the same data compression technology, the CDi video coding standard does not comply with the MPEG coding specification. Moreover, MPEG does not cover the handling of specific CDi features. In order to allow conventional CDi decoders to access remotely stored CDi applications via interactive networks (3,4), the interactive audiovisual program is transmitted as a private MPEG2 data stream, using the concept of MPEG's transport stream. The multimedia station comprises a network interface (7) having a circuit (72) which assembles the transport packets and applies the signal sectorwise to a "stripped" CDi player (5,6).

    摘要: In an adaptive electronic buffer system in which a set circuit generates logic set signals for the buffer circuits, parallel sub-buffers are switched on or off by the set signals, so that the specified charging and discharging times of the output can be achieved. This setting compensates for the manufacturing process variations and operating conditions (temperature, supply voltage) of the buffer circuits. The spread in the output conductance is reduced, thus reducing the risk of fast current variations, inductive voltage peaks and the associated loss of data.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for improving timing recovery of a system clock by causing its frequency to be within a specified tolerance range during a timing recovery acquisition period for the system clock. The apparatus includes a voltage controlled oscillator for producing the system clock and a non-volatile memory containing an offset value. The non-volatile memory provides an offset value (representing an offset voltage value) which assures that the voltage controlled oscillator receives a voltage value which causes the frequency of the system clock to be within a specified tolerance range. The apparatus may also include a write control unit for determining and updating the offset value for a next timing recovery acquisition period. The methods include steps for performing these operations.

Non-linear playback functions such as `pause` and `resume` require a very accurate control of the bit stream, taking account of typical network aspects such as network latency. The receiver (2) comprises a latency buffer (24) for storing the signal delivered while the reproduction is stalled. The pause and resume commands from the user are not forwarded to the server until the latency buffer reaches a predetermined fullness. This allows the receiver to resume flawlessly signal reproduction after a pause.
