Abstract: In a de-ring system for reducing the overshooting and undershooting of a video signal after scaling on the horizontal and the vertical direction in a scaler, a region judgment device receives the video signal and detects the attributes of the region in the video signal. When the region in the video signal is an edge and flat area, the de-ring system adjusts the weighting coefficient to increase the low frequency components for reducing the overshooting and undershooting of the video signal. When the region in the video signal is neither an edge nor an edge and flat area, the de-ring system adjusts the weighting coefficient to increase the high frequency components for preserving the high frequency components of the video signal, so as to dramatically reduce the overshooting and undershooting of a video signal.

Abstract: A closure lid for a connecting element of a computer container, comprising an inner part which is maintained on an outer part of said lid and which is provided with an annular groove on the outer periphery thereof, said groove being defined by an annular web on the outer side of the lid and having a sealing ring inserted therein. In order to provide a closure lid which is embodied in such a way that it is possible to prevent the sealing ring from being raised radially from the base of the groove as a result of existing pressure and therefore to relieve the pressure inside the container before the open position of the closure container is reached, the annular web disposed on the outer side of the lid is provided with an uneven bearing surface for the sealing ring.

Methods for determining cross-tolerance, nitroglycerin effectiveness and dose are also disclosed. Composition for intravenous administration of nitroglycerin does not contain ethanol or contains less ethanol than conventional compositions.

Abstract: A universal driving apparatus of a computer system inputs two control signals of two different duty cycles through a speed control pin of a receptacle for connecting fans with the electricity supplied continuously. The differentiation percentage of the two speeds is compared with a threshold to identify the fan types. Therefore the computer system is capable of driving the identified fan correctly according to the result of the fan-type identification.

Abstract: An inline measuring device includes a vibration-type measurement pickup having at least one measuring tube, which has a medium to be measured flowing through it during operation. The measuring tube is made by means of an exciter arrangement to execute, at least at times and/or at least in part, lateral oscillations and, at least at times and/or at least in part, torsional oscillations about an imaginary measuring tube longitudinal axis. The torsional oscillations alternate with the lateral oscillations or are, at times, superimposed thereon. Also included is a sensor arrangement for producing oscillation measurement signals correspondingly representing oscillations of the measuring tube. Measuring device electronics controlling the exciter arrangement generates, by means of at least one of the oscillation measurement signals and/or by means of the exciter current, at least at times, at least one measured value, which represents the at least one physical quantity to be measured.

Abstract: A vibration meter and a method of measuring a viscosity of a fluid flowing through a pipe are disclosed. The vibration meter comprises meter electronics and a transducer assembly with an electromechanical excitation arrangement and with a flow tube which oscillates in operation. A sensor arrangement produces sensor signals representative of inlet-side and outlet-side deflections of the flow tube. An evaluation circuit derives from said sensor signals and from an excitation current generated by an excitation circuit for the excitation arrangement a viscosity value representative of the viscosity of the fluid.

Abstract: In a Coriolis mass flow meter for determining the concentration of a flowing fluid, a concentration function is stored in a concentration evaluating unit. This enables the user to produce a concentration value at given temperature and density of the medium appropriate for a given application.
