Abstract: An apparatus for automatic glazing of cars which comprises a robot having a robot arm. A tool is mounted on the robot arm for gripping a window glass, and two T.V. cameras are fixed along a conveyor line for respectively taking images of front and rear pillars of a body shell stopped at a predetermined position. T.V. cameras are mounted on the gripping tool for taking images of a window frame for position compensation of the window glass, and an image processing unit is provided for distinguishing the kinds of body shells and for calculating position variations of the stopped body shell with respect to predetermined positions thereof from the images. A control unit is provided for receiving signals corresponding to the position variations from the image processing unit and for moving the robot so as to compensate for position variations.

Abstract: In an apparatus for decoding a variable length code represented by a code tree, a decoding table memory is read out and the read out data is decided as to whether it is terminal or intermediate data. In the case of a terminal data, its decoded result information in the data is delivered out. In the case of an intermediate data, its data of the same number of bits as indicated by information of the data indicating the number of bits to be entered is entered from an input code train; this data and information of the intermediate data for determining an address of the decoding table memory to be accessed are added together to obtain the address of the memory to be accessed next; the address thus obtained is used to access the decoding table memory; and this operation is repeated until a terminal data is obtained.
