  • Apparatus and method for converting between different video formats
    Patent number: 6778221
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting between different video formats, which provide smooth video motion by eliminating unnatural effects which could be introduced in the process of video format conversion. A frame interpolator produces interpolated frames from a first video signal given in a first video format by using motion vectors of the first video signal. From the interpolated frames, a video signal generator produces a second video signal in a second video format that is incompatible with the first video format.

  • Refrigeration system
    Patent number: 6212898
    Abstract: An outdoor unit (1), a parent unit (2), a plurality of child freezers, and a plurality of child refrigerators are provided. The child freezers are disposed in individual frozen display cases, while the child refrigerators are disposed in individual refrigerated display cases. A refrigerant heat exchanger (5) is disposed in only the parent unit (2). The outdoor unit (1) and the refrigerant heat exchanger (5) form a primary refrigerant circuit. A secondary refrigerant circuit is provided in the parent unit (2). Refrigerant circulates through the secondary refrigerant circuit, passing through the refrigerant heat exchanger (5). Each child freezer is provided with a refrigeration utilization side heat exchanger (3c) and the heat exchanger (3c) and the refrigerant heat exchanger (5) form a secondary refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant circulates.
