Patent number: 5386239Abstract: In a video signal processing system, a single adaptive passband equalizer is used to process a composite Quadrature Amplitude Modulated (QAM) signal encoded with high priority (HP) and standard priority (SP) components. The equalizer output is phase corrected by a de-rotator, and filtered to separate the HP and SP components. Error signals respectively representing HP and SP phase errors are developed. One of the error signals controls the operation of the de-rotator. Both error signals are used to generate updated coefficients for the adaptive equalizer. Afterwards the HP and SP components are decoded and combined.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1994Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Tian J.

Patent number: 4709226Abstract: Circuitry for forming the twos complement or ones complement of M-bit binary numbers is described. The circuitry includes M stages each of which contains an exclusive NOR gate. A first input terminal of the exclusive NOR gate is coupled to receive one bit of the input value and a second input terminal is coupled to receive the carry output signal from the previous stage. A logic one or logic zero is applied to the second input terminal of the stage which processes the least significant bit of the binary word if the circuitry is to provide a twos complement or ones complement value respectively. The carry output signal for each stage is generated by ANDing a logically inverted version of the input bit signal with the carry input signal applied to the stage. An application of the complementing circuitry in an absolute value circuit is also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1985Date of Patent: November 24, 1987Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Lauren A.
