Abstract: A device which is capable of storing moving picture data received from each terminal and providing each terminal with video information to be reproducible by rapidly forwarding or reversing at any desired speed independent of usable terminals. A video storage type communication device 30 with a receiving portion 35 and a transmitting portion 38 transmits and receives video data over a communication network 10 to and from each terminal 1–n. A coded video data received from terminals 1–n is stored as it is in a first storage portion 32 and, at the same time, the data converted into specially reproducible video information is stored in the second storage portion 33. At the time of reproducing, the reproduction control portion 35 controls the reproduction selector switch 36 to obtain the video data from the first storage portion 32 or the second storage portion 33, changing the reproduction mode from ordinary to the rapid forwarding/reversing and vice versa.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for identifying the spatial location of a coding unit, e.g., a texture unit (TU), in a hierarchically decomposed image. Specifically, the invention quickly computes and identifies the “starting point” of a texture unit, by using the texture unit number and the width and height of the “DC” band.

A video storage type communication device 30 with a receiving portion 35 and a transmitting portion 38 transmits and receives video data over a communication network 10 to and from each terminal l-n. A coded video data received from terminals l-n is stored as it is in a first storage portion 32 and, at the same time, the data converted into specially reproducible video information is stored in the second storage portion 33. At the time of reproducing, the reproduction control portion 35 controls the reproduction selector switch 36 to obtain the video data from the first storage portion 32 or the second storage portion 33, changing the reproduction mode from ordinary to the rapid forwarding/reversing and vice versa.

Abstract: A purpose of the handwriting recognition device is to retrieve handwritten characters and symbols at high speed and easily. The stroke data input from the stroke data input part through handwritten input is subjected to the approximate reforming process and single-stroking process to prepare the single-stroke data. By subjecting the single-stroke data to the complex Fourier transform process, the Fourier coefficient is obtained and the number of strokes is obtained. During registration, the dictionary Fourier coefficient and the dictionary stroke number, and the dictionary stroke data are stored in the dictionary memory in relation to each other. During retrieval, the retrieval Fourier coefficient and the retrieval stroke number are stored temporarily in the temporary memory. Furthermore, the dictionary stroke data are narrowed down according to the result of the comparison of the stroke numbers, and the dictionary stroke data is determined according to the result of the comparison of the Fourier coefficient.

Abstract: Embedded passive components such as capacitors are formed in multilayer ceramic circuit boards by screen printing a component precursor compound ink sandwiched between conductor ink layers onto a green tape stack and covering the component ink layer with one or two green tape layers, aligning and laminating the green tapes and firing. Capacitor inks are made from dielectrics chosen from barium titanate, titanium oxide and lead-magnesium-niobate. The green tapes are made of a mixture of a crystallizing glass, a non-crystallizing glass and an oxide filler which does not shrink in the x and y dimensions during firing mounted on a metal support. Thus the embedded components can be made to close tolerances.

Abstract: An ESD protection circuit includes a pair of NPN lateral transistors electrically connected in series with the emitter of one of the transistors electrically connected to the collector of the other transistor. The bases of the two transistors are electrically connected together and are floating. The two transistors may be provided by two MOS transistors having N-type source and drains and P-type channel regions. The channels regions are connected together and are floating.

Abstract: A ceramic mixture of a crystallizable ZnO--MgO--B.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 glass mixed with a non-crystallizing lead-based glass and one or more oxide fillers forms a fired ceramic that has a TCE compatible with that of kovar. Green tapes made from the ceramic mixture aligned with a kovar support substrate when fired have excellent dielectric and low loss properties.

Abstract: An apparatus for concealing an error of a moving pictures transform coding includes the first concealment circuit (19) for analyzing data according to a type of the data, the data being error-detected but not corrected by an error correction decoding by the decoder (12), for replacing the data with a specific data according to the analyzed result by using a predetermined method, and for outputting a specific signal therefrom, and the second concealment circuit (22) connected to the first concealment circuit (19) for replacing reproduced pixel values of an error-occurred block with reproduced pixel values of a previous frame according to the signal output from the first concealment circuit (19) in case that the data being error-detected but not corrected is data of a predetermined frequency component or data of an additional information.
