  • Patent number: 8817887
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that performs a process of splicing encoded streams together at a splicing point, the apparatus including: control means for determining a section to be subjected to re-encoding in the encoded streams; decoding means for decoding the encoded streams to generate baseband signals; and encoding means for encoding an edited baseband signal generated by splicing the baseband signals generated by the decoding means together at the splicing point to generate an edited encoded stream. The control means provisionally determines a first section to be subjected to re-encoding in first and second encoded streams to be spliced together at a first splicing point. When a second splicing point exists in the first section or a predetermined section that follows the first section, the control means determines a second section to be subjected to re-encoding based on the second splicing point.

  • Patent number: 8311105
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information-processing apparatus for splicing an encoded stream at a splicing point set on the encoded stream, the information-processing apparatus including, a decoding unit configured to decode a part included in a re-encoding section as a part including the splicing point in order to generate a base band signal, an encoding unit configured to encode an edited signal obtained as a result of splicing the base band signal, which are generated by the decoding unit, at the splicing points in order to generate a re-encoded stream, and a control unit configured to add a predetermined section, which is included in the encoded stream as a section immediately lagging behind the re-encoding section, to the re-encoding section as a re-encoding extension of the re-encoding section in case continuity between the occupancy of the end point of the re-encoded stream generated by the encoding unit and the occupancy of a portion included in the encoded stream as a portion corresponding to the end point

  • Patent number: 4969489
    Abstract: A weft threading system for threading a weft yarn prior to restart of weaving operations of a fluid jet loom. The weft threading system is comprised of a weft winding arm forming part of a weft storage unit, arranged to wind the weft yarn on a drum under relative rotation between the weft winding arm and the drum. The weft winding arm is pipe-shaped so that an air jet is passed therethrough and ejected from its tip end section. The tip end section of the weft winding arm is bent so that the air jet ejected therefrom is directed to a weft guide disposed separate from the weft storage unit and on the upstream side of a weft inserting or main nozzle. The weft guide ejects an air jet in order to suck the weft yarn and project it therefrom, so that the weft yarn from the weft winding arm is automatically passed through the weft guide into the weft inserting nozzle.

  • Patent number: 4967806
    Abstract: A weft picking control system for accomplishing weft picking in a high response throughout a wide region of operating conditions of an air jet loom. The loom has a weft inserting nozzle which projects a weft yarn under the influence of air ejection therefrom. The weft picking control system has a first device for detecting a weft reaching timing at which the weft yarn projected from the weft inserting nozzle reaches a counter-weft picking side. A second device is provided to control an effective air ejection time for weft picking depending upon the air ejection of the weft inserting nozzle, in accordance with the detected weft reaching timing. The effective air ejection time is defined by at least one of a pawl disengagement timing (at which a weft retaining pawl is disengaged from a drum of a weft measuring and storing unit) and an air ejection termination timing (at which air ejection from the weft inserting nozzle is terminated).

  • Patent number: 4932442
    Abstract: In a fluid jet loom, a weft inserting condition such as a fluid jet pressure is controlled by a feedforward control in which a change of a weft yarn condition due to interaction between the weft yarn and fluid jet is detected, and an anticipating corrective action is taken before the weft yarn is allowed to move into the shed.
