Abstract: A radio communication system where a connection between a controlled radio communication apparatus and a controlling radio communication apparatus is registered.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus can obtain a high quality still picture imaging signal in the all pixels read out mode and output it by means of an output processing means adapted to the interlaced read out mode. The imaging signal read out from a CCD image sensor 23 in the interlaced read out mode is directly supplied to a DV recording/reproducing processing section 4 by way of a camera signal processing circuit 24. The imaging signal read out from said CCD image sensor 23 in the apparatus is converted into an interlaced signal by a scan conversion section 3A, which is then supplied to the DV recording/reproducing processing section 4.

Abstract: Style sheets which define the expression form, etc., of documents in a meta-language (for example, XML) format in which tags which can be defined arbitrarily are used are managed appropriately. A style sheet is given a unique style ID. Since a receiving system is capable of storing style sheets separately from XML documents and managing them, it is unnecessary to add a style sheet to each XML document body and to transmit it, and thus the amount of the data to be transmitted can be reduced. Also, it is possible to protect the style sheets from unauthorized use by attaching key data to the XML document body, so that the style sheets can be managed as authored works. Furthermore, by specifying the other party or by providing a device for performing authentication, limited use of the style sheet becomes possible.

Abstract: An EBCOT codec (1) is provided which includes a bit modeling unit (11), arithmetic codec (12), input FIFO memory (13), output FIFO memory (14) and a controller (16). The input and output FIFO memories (13) and (14) have a function to control the bit length of to-be-stored data correspondingly to that of supplied data. For the coding, the input FIFO memory (13) is supplied with a wavelet transform coefficient of 16 bits, and for the decoding, it is supplied with a code data of 8 bits. For the coding, the output FIFO memory (14) outputs 8-bit code data, and for the decoding, it outputs wavelet transform coefficients of 16 bits. Thus, the circuit scale can be reduced and data transfer speed be improved.

Abstract: A method of data processing in which a composite data processing operation, for execution by a data processing device having a memory, is assembled by a user as a linked list of sub-operations selected from a set of possible data processing sub-operations, comprises the steps of: as a sub-operation is selected by the user for inclusion in the composite operation, loading into the memory sub-operation data defining parameters of that sub-operation including input and output interfaces of that sub-operation; and in response to an initiation of execution of a sub-operation, loading sub-operation program code into the memory for execution by the data processing device; in which the sub-operation data requires less memory space than the sub-operation program code.

Abstract: An integrative encoding system for encoding and transmitting a plurality of video signals having different resolutions that correspond to a plurality of display units. The integrative encoding system has a compression processor, an editing processor, and an integrated services digital broadcasting (ISDB) transmitter. The compression processor performs adaptive dynamic range coding (ADRC) to compress each of said plurality of video signals on a block basis by reducing the dynamic range. An adaptive decoding system receives and decodes the transmitted plurality of video signals for display by the plurality of display units.

Abstract: A method of generating code for a software program in multiple languages by converting input specification files into output code files. The input specification files contain a list of distinctive features of the software program to be generated and are written in a prescribed input language. The input specification files are converted into a set of nodes representing the logical relationship between the distinctive features listed in the input specification files. Output code files are then generated from the set of nodes using external guideline files that contain guidelines for generating code. Output code files are generated in at least two code languages.
