Abstract:
A method and apparatus for playing back a sequence of images from a run of component images successively supplied in digital form by a remote source to a receiver apparatus having the function of playing back the images of the sequence at a given rate, and in which each image constitutes an independent set that is received in the form of data trains. The apparatus includes verification that each received data train and each run of trains making up a set is valid, storing the most recently received valid set, reconstituting image signals from the most recently received valid set, and a clock for locally and independently generating clock signals for triggering visual reproduction of images as a function of circumstances.
Abstract:
ATM cells are used to transmit information supplied in the form of a series of separate, identically structured entities each corresponding to a whole independently usable by a given application. Each entity is transmitted as cells whose information field is identically composed of modules of fixed position and fixed size. A first module constitutes a cell continuity index. A second module contains entity data to be transmitted. A final module is established by means of a B. C. H. block type error detector-corrector code. A transmitter and a receiver include apparatus for implementing the method between a source application and a destination application across an ATM network.
Abstract:
A linear ball bearing having a guide carriage (2) which is guided on a guide rail (1) in a longitudinally displaceable manner and is mounted in rolling contact on longitudinal sides of the guide rail (1) via balls (3) which are arranged on each longitudinal side in at least two parallel ball rows (4, 5) encircling in endless ball channels (6), each ball (3) of the one ball row (5) together with an adjacent ball (3) of the other ball row (4) being held all round in cage pockets (8) of a common cage piece (7), the cage piece (7) having exactly two cage pockets (8) for one ball (3) each from both ball rows (4, 5), each cage piece (7), as viewed in the running direction of the balls (3), being provided at both ends with convexly curved end surfaces (9) for contact with the end surfaces (9) of adjacent cage pieces (7), which end surfaces (9) extend essentially up to the cage piece sides (10).
Abstract:
The headrest (1) comprises a translation guidance assembly (10) guided along a spindle (2) attached to the seat back and an articulation assembly (20) that is mounted swivelling on the guidance assembly, around an axis (7). A locking member (30) swivels on the guidance assembly (10) around an axis (8) that is parallel to the axis (7), between a locked and an unlocked position. The locking member comprises a pad (31) shaped to press on the spindle (2) in the locked position, and a head (32) that is shaped to lock on a curved section (23), attached to the articulation assembly. In this locked position, that the locking member takes under the effect of inertia after a collision, the headrest can neither pivot backwards nor slide downwards. Application of the headrest is directed to automotive vehicle seats.
Abstract:
The method of the invention consists in shifting (a) the start of the scrambled section of a composite video line of a television image with respect to the start of the useful part of that line.

Abstract:
Known telecommunication systems like a DECT-system comprising a base-station and a handset or like a Digital Home Network system comprising a controller and several devices or a car radio system comprising a car radio and a front are based upon an authorisation process for introducing a new device or for coupling an already introduced but decoupled old device to said telecommunication system. Such authorisation process, which often is user-unfriendly, can be partially or even completely avoided by either using the result of an old identification process or by using a new identification process for identifying a user, which can be done in a much more user-friendly way.
Abstract:
A stowable vehicle seat assembly for use in a vehicle cabin having a cabin floor. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion member having downwardly extending front and rear legs. A mounting means is positioned on the front and rear legs for releasable engagement with the cabin floor. A control rod system is pivotably interconnected between the seat cushion member and the cabin floor, and is adapted to enable selective pivoting of said seat cushion member between a deployed design configuration and a raised stowed configuration. In the deployed design configuration, the mounting means is in engagement with the cabin floor as aforesaid, and the seat cushion member has a substantially horizontal orientation. The raised stowed configuration is located rearwardly of the deployed design configuration, whereat the mounting means is released from engagement with the cabin floor, with the seat cushion member has a substantially vertical orientation.
Abstract:
In an automobile vehicle, a seat assembly includes a seat belt and a seat belt inertia reel attached to the seat. The reel is equipped with belt locking means. Also included is a seat pan position adjustment means that enables a seat pan to be inclined by pivoting around a transverse horizontal axis. The inertia reel is attached to the seat pan and is installed so as to pivot around an axis that is substantially parallel to the transverse horizontal axis. A correction mechanism corrects the angular position of the inertia reel with respect to the seat pan according to the inclination of the seat pan.
Abstract:
The device includes an unlocking control button sliding in a guide well between (1) a position indicating unlocking, where the head of the button is clearly visible outside of the well, and (2) an unlocking control position where a lower end of the button pushes a lock into an unlocking position enabling the disengagement of a locking component. The device includes a spring returning the button to its position indicating unlocking, and control means to bring the button into an intermediary position where its head is more or less flush with the edge of the well, only when the locking component is in the locking position.
