Abstract: A stereogram viewing apparatus comprises a box having a cover pivotally attached thereto for pivotal movement between open and closed positions. A stereogram accommodating part holds a set of stereograms at the front of the inside of the cover. A foldable plate is disposed in the box and is provided with left and right eyepieces. The plate is foldable into a folded state to fit within the box to permit the cover to close and is movable to an unfolded state in which the plate positions the eyepieces frontward of the stereograms to enable a user to view the stereograms through the eyepieces. When the cover is in the upstanding open position, the box may be pivoted downwardly and rearwardly to an upside-down position to support the apparatus on a surface while the upstanding cover faces frontward. In this manner, the apparatus can be conveniently placed on a surface, such as a desk or the like, so that the stereograms may be viewed by a user without having to hold the apparatus in his hand.

Abstract: The connection verifiable information processing system of the invention comprises: a system service 5 which outputs a first transmit request to request an output of connection information, and which processes response information to the first request, the response information being described following a first format; a WDM driver 7 which outputs a second request to request an output of connection information, and which receives response information described following a second format that a WDM compliant device 8 outputs in response to the second transmit request, while remaining unresponsive to the first transmit request; and a second FSD 13 which converts the response information described following the second format received by the WDM driver 7 into response information of the first format that the system service can process.

Abstract: A data transmission apparatus for conveying proper timing information to the destination application without embedding such information in transmission data packets. Particularly, the apparatus comprises a timing component for generating and inserting additional timing information into the header at least first packet of each frame of the data stream for transmitting to a destination node. The apparatus further comprises a receiving device for extracting the additional timing information from the transmission path header and inserting the additional timing information to data packets to be sent to application. The application utilizes the added timing for processing the received data simultaneously.

Abstract: A stereogram viewing apparatus is provided which can arrange stereograms set in a stored state by an easy operation such that they are disposed opposite to eyepieces, thereby enabling transition to a state of use and treatment after use by a simple operation. The stereogram viewing apparatus is provided with a stereogram accommodating part 6 for holding lower edges of a plurality of stereograms 5 inserted in a cover member B of a box A. A movable plate 8 capable of being folded and including a pair of left and right eyepieces 7 for viewing the plurality of stereograms 5 in sequence, is configured to render an attachment part of the eyepiece 7 movable with a lower edge of the plate 8 being locked, and is provided to be capable of being accommodated inside the box A together with the stereograms 5.

Abstract: A plurality of digital signals having total data rates of n bit/s or less are input to a digital recording device recording digital signals having a data rate of n bit/s. The digital signals are subjected to format-conversion for the digital recording device to be recorded therein. Furthermore, signals having a data rate of n/i1 bit/s or less are subjected to format-conversion to be recorded i1 times in the digital recording device. In the case where the data rate of the digital signals to be input is n/j bit/s, the digital signals are subjected to format-conversion so that the amount of data capable of being recorded per unit time is decreased by i/j; thus, the digital signals are recorded for a long period of time under the condition that the data recording time is prolonged j times.

Abstract: A plurality of digital signals having total data rates of n bit/s or less are input to a digital recording device recording digital signals having a data rate of n bit/s. The digital signals are subjected to format-conversion for the digital recording device to be recorded therein. Furthermore, signals having a data rate of n/i.sub.1 bit/s or less are subjected to format-conversion to be recorded i.sub.1 times in the digital recording device. In the case where the data rate of the digital signals to be input is n/j bit/s, the digital signals are subjected to format-conversion so that the amount of data capable of being recorded per unit time is decreased by i/j; thus, the digital signals are recorded for a long period of time under the condition that the data recording time is prolonged j times.

Abstract: In a digital signal recording and reproducing apparatus, digital input data is transmitted in a transmission packet format and is recorded in a recording packet format. In a recording stage, an auxiliary signal generator (3) generates an auxiliary signal for special reproduction in the transmission packet format, and the digital and auxiliary signals are converted into respective recording packets by means of recording signal converters (5, 6). Recording means (9, 10) performs a specific recording process on the recording packets and an identification signal for identifying between the recording packets of the digital signal and of the auxiliary signal. While in a reproducing stage, reproduction signal processing means (14, 15) performs a specific reproduction process on the reproduction signal to thereby reconstruct the recording packets and the identification signal.

Abstract: A method for receiving a broadcast includes the steps of receiving a digital signal obtained by multiplexing at least one program; selecting data corresponding to one program among the at least one program multiplexed in the digital signal, decoding the selected data; and selecting data corresponding to at least one program among the at least one program multiplexed in the digital signal, and transmitting the selected data to an external device.

Abstract: A reference picture signal is stored defining a plurality of image pixels of a reference picture. The input picture signal is divided into a plurality of input block signals each defining a plurality of image pixels of a corresponding input block. Decimation information is set in advance for specifying a portion to be decimated among the plurality of image pixels of each input block. Selected image pixels of each of input blocks are addressed in accordance with the block decimation information to obtain a corresponding decimated input block having an addressed subset of image pixels relative to the plurality of image pixels of each input block. An image motion associated with each input block is estimated by comparing the addressed subset of image pixels of each corresponding decimated input block with the image pixels of the reference image.
