Abstract: A dryer assembly includes a blower unit having an inlet and an outlet. A restriction mechanism having a plurality of louvers is disposed generally at the inlet of the blower unit with the louvers being moveable between an open position and a closed position. An actuation mechanism is in communication with the restriction mechanism. The actuation mechanism selectively restricts air to the blower unit by moving the louvers into the closed position.

Abstract: A video decoder transcodes video data from various input formats to a predetermined output format. Input data may be standard definition data or MPEG2 compressed data. Standard definition data are rearranged into block format to be compatible with the decoder's single display processor. The display processor selectively processes and conveys either MPEG2 format data or non-MPEG2 format data to a display device. A block based frame memory stores MPEG2 and non-MPEG2 pixel block data, as well as standard definition data in raster line format during processing.
