A video replay store controller wherein appropriate ones of a plurality of field stores are selected for storing replayed video data in a digital video tape recorder (DVTR). The controller comprises a transition detector associated with each of a plurality of video replay heads, for detecting changes in field identifiers associated with consecutively replayed video data blocks received from that video replay head, thereby detecting a field transition in the data replayed by that video replay hea...

A fixed pattern signal storage and replay system in which the silent periods of the signal are not stored but regenerated. During the silent periods of the signal, which is pulse code modulated, the decoder for the storage memory is inactivated.

A system is described for replaying, in any selected sequence, programs recorded on a tape. The system is adapted to read a tape having tape location information and program location information thereon. In a preferred embodiment, a keyboard is included for selecting desired programs for replay in any sequence. In response to that selection, a controller determines from the program location information where the selected programs begin and end on the tape and causes those programs to be replayed...

A detonating delay relay for shock or signal tube application so made as to be bidirectional. Comprising a delay detonator having a plug which holds two lengths of shock tube sealed at the ends. The detonation pulse is transmitted from one length of shock tube to the delay detonator. After a suitable delay, initiation of the other length of shock tube takes place.

A quick replay device of a portable record player with an adapter comprising a small disk, a springily pivotal elbow and a hooky pickup arm, said disk having a pivot for said elbow with a spring connection against a stopper on said disk, said elbow catching and lifting up said pickup arm at an innermost groove of a record to move over said record and to set down said pickup on a outermost groove of said record.

A short segment recording and replay system which includes a receiver for receiving and displaying audiovisual information and an endless memory for storage of continuous short segments of the audiovisual information concurrent with display thereof by the receiver. A controller is responsive to a predetermined condition to freeze the contents of the endless memory therein. The endless memory is preferably a addressable random access memory which can be in a plug-in module. The system includes a ...

A computer processor includes a multiplexer having a first input, a second input, and an output, and a scheduler coupled to the multiplexer first input. The processor further includes an execution unit coupled to the multiplexer output. The execution unit is adapted to receive a plurality of instructions from the multiplexer. The processor further includes a replay system coupled to the second multiplexer input and the scheduler. The replay system replays an instruction that has not correctly ex...

The invention provides a method for executing instructions. The method includes dispatching and executing a first and second plurality of instructions in a portion of a pipeline without first determining whether stages of the portion of the pipeline are ready. The method further includes determining if an execution problem is encountered and replaying the first plurality of instructions in response to determining that the first plurality of instructions encountered an execution problem. The inve...

To avoid degradation of the acoustic signal radiated from the opening of the ducted horn of a ducted horn type speaker, under influence of the ducted horn, below the characteristic of the speaker itself, and input terminal for receiving an audio signal, a non-recursive digital filter for varying the input audio signal, a power amplifier for amplifying the varied signal, and speaker for replaying the amplified signal are provided. The non-recursive digital filter realizes the inverse characterist...

Method and apparatus for selectively replaying a number of features recorded on a recording medium having a support in which adjustable markings are provided on the support for alternatively indicating preselections of the features for replay, and in which feature start indications on the recording medium cooperate with said markings in controlling the replay of said features.
