Abstract: A test pattern generator for digital television signals produces a zone plate pattern on an orthogonal pixel raster generated by pixel and line counters. The counter outputs are supplied to respective ROMs each storing a parabolic function. Their outputs are added to define zone plate circles on the basis of the circle equation x.sup.2 =y.sup.2 =r.sup.2. Circular patterns of evenly spaced color bars are produced by interposing a square root extracting ROM ahead of another ROM which converts the phase values into amplitude values. The optional interposition of a square root function after the addition and before the conversion into amplitude values provides a different circular test pattern. It can be readily modified in various ways under control of a microprocessor or EPROM.

Abstract: A generator of circular zone plate signals for testing digital television signals, particularly those in circuits conforming with CCIR-Rec. 601, contains counters operating at horizontal and vertical sampling scan frequencies for producing an orthogonal pattern. The phase values generated by ROMs in response to the horizontal and vertical counters are combined additively and then converted into amplitude values by another set of ROMs separately for the luminance and chrominance signals. The counters also drive still another set of PROMs that provide, through a logic circuit, modulation of the luminance signal to show horizontal and vertical frequency markers that can be turned on and off by switches. The horizontal marker PROM also produces chrominance blanking signals for eliminating frequency components above half the sampling frequency.

Abstract: Both the analog and the video component of a television signal are converted to digital form, the audio component being converted at a much lower sample rate with a word length which is an integral multiple of the video word length. The digital audio component is then compressed by use of a temporary memory and read-out therefrom at a rate that is half of the sample rate of the digtal video component, after which the word length is halved and the word rate doubled in a shift register circuit. In that form the audio component is inserted in horizontal blanking intervals of the video component in a compatible form by a multiplexer, the output of which is read into a single picture field or full picture memory under control of an address generator clocked in synchronism with the incoming video component. The buffer memory is read-out at a rate controlled by a reference signal such as is used for synchronism in a television studio.

Abstract: The device for the detection and regulation of the planeness of strip-shaped rolled products, especially thin-gage strips (1), for cold rolling mills comprises a planeness measuring system with individual measuring elements, which system includes, for example, a planeness measuring roller (3) composed of individual measuring disks (4) with force measuring transmitters arranged along the circumference.

Regulation of the strip tensile stress is effected by installations for cooling and/or lubrication and/or bending and/or pivoting of the rolls.

Abstract: The synchronously demodulated chrominance signals (C.sub.1d, C.sub.2d) each alternately represent, line by line, the sum and difference of the color difference signals U and V. They are supplied to a multiplexer (21) switched by a meander wave having a 2H oscillation period and supplied therefrom to an accumulator for evaluation of the synchronizing color carrier bursts. During the burst, a succession of sampling frequency pulses sample the burst portion of one chrominance signal (C.sub.2d) with the results being added in an accumulator and then loaded in a first register (25) to provide a control signal for the color carrier oscillator and from the burst portion of the other chrominance signal (C.sub.1d) a potential is similarly produced by the accumulator, loaded in a second register (26) and evaluated in a PROM to determine whether the switching of the reversal circuit or one of the color difference signals (V) is timed for the correct horizontal line or for the wrong one.
