Abstract: An original coded stream reproduced from a magnetic tape 1 is decoded by an MPEG decoder 29, and original video data of a base band is thus generated. A switching circuit 15 generates edited video data by switching the original video data and supplied insertion video data on the base band level at IN-point and OUT-point. The MPEG encoder 19 generates an edited coded stream by coding the edited video data supplied from the switching circuit 15. A system controller 13 controls a recording circuit 23 to record only a picture changed by editing processing, from among the edited coded stream, onto the magnetic tape.

Abstract: A multi-layer circuit wiring board comprising a laminate of films, each film having a wiring pattern formed on at least one surface thereof, wherein the wiring pattern formed on each film is electrically connected with the wiring pattern formed on another film which is disposed neighboring thereto through a via-contact layer provided on any one of the neighboring films.

Abstract: Disclosed is a syndiotactic propylene copolymer containing 0.01 to 40 mol % of olefin units containing --OH group in the side chain. Of absorption peaks attributed to the methyl groups of the propylene units on an absorption spectrum by .sup.13 C-NMR of the copolymer, the intensity of an absorption peak observed at about 20.2 ppm is 0.3 or more of the intensity of absorption peaks of all the methyl groups attributed to the propylene units. The copolymer is produced by copolymerizing propylene and an alkenylsilane or alkenylborane compound in the presence of a catalyst system comprising an asymmetric ligands-having transition metal compound and an aluminoxane, followed by heat-treating the resulting propylene-alkenylsilane copolymer in the presence of a trialkylamine oxide and KF.HF or oxidizing and decomposing the resulting propylene-alkenylborane compound copolymer. Also disclosed is a resin composition comprising the copolymer and other polyolefin(s).

Abstract: An equalization circuit for a reproduced video signal detects the levels of a reference signal in two different frequency bands and, based on a comparison of the detected levels, selects an equalization curve from a memory and controls the equalization characteristic of an equalizer in the signal path based on the selected equalization curve. For a video frequency signal, low-pass and high-pass filters provide the two frequency bands for level checking and for a radio frequency signal two bandpass filters provide the frequency bands of interest located above and below the center color carrier frequency. A memory contains a number of equalization curves, one of which is selected based upon a comparison using the detected reference signal levels that is performed in a central processing unit.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus in which signals are recorded onto and reproduced from a magnetic tape wound around a peripheral surface of a rotary drum by magnetic heads which are attached to the peripheral surface of the rotary drum corresponding to a plurality of channels, respectively, comprises at least: a detector to detect an envelope level of a reproduced RF signal which is derived from the magnetic head every channel; a comparator to compare the detection output and a reference level and to generate a control voltage corresponding to the magnetic head every channel; a latch to store the control voltage; and a circuit to make the envelope level of the reproduction RF signal constant in accordance with a predetermined timing for supplying the control voltage.

Abstract: There is disclosed a homoplymer of an alkenylsilane having a syndiotactic structure and a copolymer of the alkenylsilane and an .alpha.-olefin. The polymer and the copolymer can be prepared by subjecting the alkenylsilane or the alkenylsilane and the .alpha.-olefin to addition polymerization in the presence of a transition metal compound having asymmetirically interconnected ligands or preferably in the presence of the transition metal compound and aluminoxane. The polymer and the copolymer can be used as a nucleating agent for a crystalline polypropylene.
