Abstract: A processing apparatus employs motion-adaptive processing to create a progressive scanning signal from an interlaced television scanning signal. The interlaced scanning signal is input to a field delay circuit and to a vertical highpass filter, the output of the field delay circuit is input to a field delay circuit and to a vertical lowpass filter, and the output of the field delay circuit is input to a vertical highpass filter. The outputs of the vertical highpass filters are added together at an adder. The output of the adder is added to the output of the vertical lowpass filter to create an interpolation signal. The interpolation signal and direct-type signal, being time-compressed, are coupled to a switch where they are alternately selected to obtain a progressive scanning signal with improved image quality, irrespective of whether the input signal represents a still or moving image.

Abstract: An external color frame is synchronized with a local color frame without producing a pixel position error. A frame synchronizer synchronizes a frame from an external television signal with that of a local television signal. A wide screen oriented high definition television signal is used as the external television signal, the image quality of which is improved by adding a support signal to the main screen signal. A memory is provided to receive and store the external television signal and the external signal is read from the memory after a predetermined time passes when the frame difference between the external and local television signals is at least one frame. In this instance, only the support signal in the readout of the external television signal is corrected by a low pass filter in order to match the pixel position of the support signal to that of the main screen signal.

Abstract: In a method of recording digital information signals to form tracks on a magnetic tape, the samples of the signals to be recorded are divided into a plurality of odd sample groups and a plurality of even samples groups. The groups containing adjacent samples are disposed on differently-numbered regions of different tracks. Error correcting codeword may be recorded in a plurality of tracks. Errors in one region can be corrected or compensated by samples in different tracks or samples in differently-numbered regions.

Abstract: A magnetic recorder/reproducer converts two-channel analog signals into digital signals by a sample-and-hold/A-D converter circuit (3) and controls addresses in a memory circuit (4) by a memory address control circuit (5), to distribute the digital signals into odd sample groups and even sample groups per each channel for arraying the odd sample groups and the even sample groups of the same channel in alternate scanning intervals, thereby to write the same in the memory circuit so that the odd samples and the even samples of the same channel are arrayed in positions separated from each other along the direction of scanning by rotary heads (10, 11). The digital signals thus permutated are modulated by a modulation circuit (7), to be recorded in a magnetic tape by the rotary heads. The digital signals reproduced by the rotary heads are demodulated by a demodulation circuit (14), to be stored in a memory circuit (15).

Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus records audio signals digitized by rotary heads (9, 10) on a magnetic tape (12), and reproduces the recorded audio signals. Clock signals and time code data are extracted from externally inputted time code signals by means of a demodulating circuit (72), and phase difference between the frame clock signals and the reference signal is detected by a phase difference detecting circuit (74). A microcomputer (23) assigns the phase difference information and the time code data to sub code packs and stores the same in the memory circuit (4). The stored phase difference information and the time code data are recorded on the magnetic tape. In reproduction, the microcomputer outputs the original time code signals responsive to the reproduced phase difference information and the time code data.

Abstract: An error correcting and controlling system forms syndromes S.sub.1 and S.sub.2 for each of a set of reproduced, sampled signal words and error correcting words P or Q and also forms a syndrome S.sub.i =S.sub.1 .sym.T.sup.i-7 S.sub.2 by using the result of a CRC check of the set of sampled signal words. An error position i is determined by three zero counters which respectively indicate S.sub.1 .noteq.0, S.sub.2 .noteq.0 and S.sub.i .noteq.0. Alternatively, the system may further include three counters for respectively counting errors developed in the set of sampled signal words, and the error correcting words P and Q, the errors being detected by a CRC check circuit. When any one of the counters counts an error and the remaining counters count no error with S.sub.1 .noteq.0, S.sub.2 .noteq.0 and S.sub.i .noteq.0, a control signal is generated to perform a concealing operation, such as a means value interpolation, etc.

Abstract: An address designating method of a memory is performed by dividing the addresses of the memory to row addresses and column addresses. The writing of data in the memory is performed by the following steps. Namely, while the row addressing is maintained in a predetermined value (for example, 7d+1), the column addressing is incremented one by one. When the column addressing reaches 3, the row addressing is decremented by 4d+1. Each time the row addressing is decremented by d, the column addressing is decremented one by one in accord therewith. The reading of the data from the memory is performed by the following steps. Namely, each time the row addressing is incremented by d, the column addressing is also incremented one by one in accord therewith. When the column addressing reaches 3, the row addressing is decremented by 3d+1. With the row addressing kept in 0, the column addressing is decremented one by one.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing instant cupped noodles comprising disposing a mass of raw noodles in a liquid-permeable metal cup, the cup having at least a tapered wall, placing a liquid-permeable metal lid to cover the opening of the metal cup, and completely immersing the metal cup in a heated oil for frying the mass of noodles housed in the metal cup while the cup is inverted and immersed, thereby rendering the mass of noodles dense in the portion close to the bottom of the metal cup and sparse in the portion close to the metal lid. The metal cup is then taken out of the heated oil, the metal lid is removed from the metal cup for discharging the fried mass of noodles, and the discharged fried mass of noodles is dried.
