    摘要: In a movement compensation predictive encoder, a vector detector (19) is supplied with a moving picture signal and produces a movement vector signal representative of at least one movement vector for each region of each frame. A picture analyzer (16) serves as a variation detector for detecting a variation in each region to produce a variation signal when the variation exceeds a predetermined threshold in one of the regions. The variation signal is used in giving a predetermined value, such as zero, to the above-mentioned at least one movement vector for that one of the regions. In place of the variation detector, a scene change detector can likewise be used to produce a scene change signal for giving a predetermined value to the movement vectors for a frame for which a scene change is detected. The scene change detector is preferably operable on a summation for each frame of results of evaluation for movement compensated prediction errors rather than, as in prior art, for differences between picture elements of two consecutive frames.

    摘要: On subjecting a digital video signal representative of successive pictures to predictive coding by using correlation between two successive pictures, an estimated result is derived from the digital video signal to represent a degree of correlation between a current picture and a previous picture and is increased with a reduction of the degree. When the estimated result becomes greater than a predetermined threshold value as a result of a drastical change, such as a scene change, from the previous picture to the current picture, a control signal is produced. Furthermore, the digital video signal is separated into a preceding signal part ending at the previous picture and a succeeding part which begins at the current picture. The control signal controls the predictive coding so that the succeeding part be coded with an area of predictive coding of each picture gradually widened with time. The control signal may be supplied to a predictive coder. Alternatively, the control signal may be used to control a frame memory for supplying the digital video signal to the predictive coder with the area gradually widened for the succeeding part. A plurality of threshold levels may be used collectively as the predetermined threshold. The threshold levels are for use in selecting a rate of gradually widening the area.

    摘要: A video coding apparatus having a quantizer that is controlled by a quantization control signal. Stationary picture elements are coded such that quantization is coarse, which reduces the output information for the picture elements in the stationary image region and increases compression of the signal. The apparatus may include a calculation system for calculating a distance of a stationary picture element from the moving image region. The quantization is performed more coarsely as the calculated distance becomes longer. The quantizer may also be controlled such that coarse quantization is performed over a plurality of frames for the picture elements in the stationary region, and at a predetermined interval finer quantization is performed with respect to the same stationary picture elements, for further improving the picture. Transition of a picture element from the stationary region to the moving region may be detected, and the quantizer may be controlled to perform fine quantization when the transition is detected, and thereafter perform coarse quantization.

Accordingly, the air passages are opened to the variable pressure chambers 5b and 7b through the groove 27 formed on the beads 14a and 16a of the diaphragms 14 and 16. According to this invention, therefore, there is no need to provide wide gap between the fixed portion of the beads and the center plate in order to open the air passages to the variable pressure chambers. This makes it possible to shorten overall length of the negative pressure booster equipment 1.

    摘要: In a recording system, a sequence of image signals obtained from a sequence of images are used to generate and record a sequence of recordable signals on a read only memory. Efficient coding of the received sequence of image signals is carried out through the use of a given parameter which is adaptively and dynamically changed, preferably manually, through a parameter controller acting as the interactive device. The image signals are repeatedly subjected to the efficient coding process. The process uses a sequence of predictive signals to produce coded signals. The predictive signals are displayed on a monitor display device to be monitored by an operator. The operator changes the attributes of the parameter until an optimum image is obtained. The optimum parameter is stored on a magnetic tape. The image signals subjected to the efficient coding enable the production of a sequence of coded image signals which are recorded on the read only memory in synchronism with the optimum parameter, after the optimum image has been obtained.

    摘要: The invention relates to a locking arrangement for a key member used in a brake booster. A key member includes an arcuate portion which surrounds substantially one-half the perimeter of a valve body, and engaging recesses are formed at the opposite ends of the arcuate portion on the inner side. A retainer surrounds substantially one-half the perimeter of the valve body at a location opposite to the arcuate portion of the key member. The opposite ends of the retainer are formed with engaging pawls on the outer side for engaging with the engaging recesses under the resilience of the retainer. Accordingly, by merely assembling the key member and the retainer with the valve body, the engaging pawls of the retainer can be automatically engaged with the engaging recesses in the key member, thereby preventing the withdrawal of the retainer and the key member from the valve body.

    摘要: In a transmitting system, a first multiplexer multiplexes first through M-th encoded digital video signals from encoders to produce a primary multiplex signal comprising cells which have channel codes, address codes, and cell data, where M represents an integer greater than two. Each of the cell data represents a part of one of the encoded digital video signals. Each of the channel codes indicates one of the encoded digital video signals. Each of the address codes indicates a position of one of the cell datum. A first demultiplexer demultiplexes the primary multiplex signal to produce first through N-th primary demultiplex signals, where N represents an integer which is less than M and greater than one. A second multiplexer multiplexes the first through the N-th primary demultiplex signals from the first demultiplexer through first through N-th transmitting paths to produce a secondary multiplex signal. A second demultiplexer demultiplexes the secondary multiplex signal datum in response to the channel codes and the address codes to produce the first through the M-th encoded digital video signals.

    摘要: A brake booster is disclosed which reduces an idle stroke of an input shaft. A key member which is mechanically coupled to a valve plunger which forms part of a valve mechanism is provided with an elastic member so that when the brake booster is inoperative, the elastic member on the key member abuts against a shell and a valve body, respectively, thereby limiting a retracting movement of the valve body. Under this condition, a retracting movement of the key member is allowed by an elastic deformation of the elastic member if the input shaft is pulled rearward to cause a retracting movement of the valve plunger and the key member.

    摘要: In an image communication system, an input image sequence is converted into a block-formatted sequence. A data compression signal indicative of the amount of moving blocks in the block-formatted sequence is generated to individually control a plurality of vector quantizers each having a particular frequency band and a memory containing output vectors. The output vectors of each of the vector quantizers is representative of inverse orthogonal transform of a code table of optimum quantized vectors in the particular frequency band, the optimum quantized vectors being orthogonal transform of interframe differential training image sequences. The output vectors is retrievable from the memory as a function of an interframe differential image sequence, or prediction error. Each vector quantizer selects one of the vectors retrieved from the memory which is nearest to the value of the interframe differential image sequence and generates an index signal representative of the selected vector, which index signal is encoded and transmitted to a destination. The outputs of the vector quantizers are processed by inverse vector quantizers to generate a predictive image sequence. The prediction error is detected as a difference between the predictive image sequence and the block-formatted sequence.
