2,3,5-trisubstituted-2-cyclopentenones or 2,3-disubstituted-2-cyclopentenones (such as cis-jasmone) are prepared by contacting a 3-chloro-3,4-disubstituted-4-pentene-2-one with a strong base. Methods of preparing the reactants are also disclosed.
The invention relates to a method for the correction of video signals which are produced by pixel-by-pixel reading of picture cells from an optoelectronic sensor via two or more channels which have different transmission characteristics. In this case, the video signal is supplied to a processing circuit and is converted to digital pixel values. Estimated values for pixel values of another transmission channel are calculated from the digital pixel values of one transmission channel, and the estim...
This invention concerns a process for preparing fluoroalkyl substituted olefins, fluorinated ketones and fluorinated aromatic compounds by the catalyzed reaction of fluoroalkylsilanes with selected fluorinated olefins, acyl fluorides and fluorinated aromatic compounds, respectively.
Described are compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, and aryl, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or halogen, and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or acyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. R.sup.3 can be located in the 4 or 5 position as can the amino imidazoline group. The compounds are useful as anti-inflammatory agents.
A requested volume flow ratio calculated based on a requested torque, an amount of two times a spit-back gas amount at the valve overlap time calculated based on a requested residual gas rate, and a spit-back gas amount of the time when an intake valve is closed are added together, to set a requested valve passing gas amount of the intake valve, thereby determining a target operating characteristic of the intake valve based on the requested valve passing gas amount.

A frame memory apparatus having a plurality of memories respectively corresponding with respective pixels of a photoelectric conversion apparatus and an apparatus of recording signals of respective pixels of the phot...
An imaging apparatus for performing efficient signal processing depending on the operational mode. In the finder mode, a CCD interface 21a decimates horizontal components of image data supplied from an image generating unit 10 to one-third and moreover processes the decimated image data with data conversion and resolution conversion to produce Y, Cb and Cr image data which are routed to and written in an image memory 32 over a memory controller 22. In the recording mode, the CCD interface 21a ca...
A driving method for a solid-state image sensing device includes the steps of: transferring signal charges generated at pixels (12) arranged in odd rows in the column upward direction through vertical transfer paths (13) each arranged for each column; temporarily accumulating the upward transferred signal charges for one field at a first accumulation region (14) and transferring the accumulated signal charges row by row in sequence for each field period through other vertical transfer paths (18)...
A receiver having a variable bit slicer for detecting bits in a demodulated signal, comprises a demodulator (14) for deriving a demodulated bit rate signal, means (36) for storing a plurality of threshold values, each of the threshold values being selectively adjustable, means (28, 38) for selecting the threshold value for comparison with the current bit signal (S.sub.n) in response to a sequence of N bits (where N is at least 2) (B.sub.n-1, B.sub.n-2) received prior to the current bit (B.sub.n)...
Display of signals containing inter-symbol interference (ISI). An input signal is modeled as comprising an ideal signal plus ISI plus error. In a first embodiment of the invention, an error signal and an ideal signal are derived from the input signal. The ideal signal is combined with the error signal producing an ideal signal with errors. In a second embodiment of the invention, a first signal comprising the ideal signal plus ISI plus error is derived. A second signal comprising only ISI is der...
