A connector for temporary scaffolding at an end of a lateral member, to be wedge-connected to a receiver around a strut, includes: a wedge body provided movably at the end of the lateral member upward and downward relative to the lateral member; a locking body including a claw formed such that, as a result of the wedge-body's moving downward, the claw could travel from initial to locking position with respect to the receiver; and a biasing body capable of pressing the locking body toward the wedge body, wherein the wedge body includes a shoulder protruding toward the locking body, the locking body includes an interfering portion protruding toward the wedge body, and when the claw is at the initial position, the shoulder is blocked by the interfering portion from moving upward, thereby preventing the wedge body from moving upward and the locking body from traveling toward the biasing body.

A content obtaining system automatically downloads desired content from a communication network to a home system based on a command from a remote terminal. The content obtaining system includes a communication network, a content server which stores content, a terminal which can access the content server via the communication network and which transmits a command to the communication network under a user's operation, and a home system which receives the command via the communication network and automatically downloads content stored in the content server and designated by the command sent via the communication network.

An data insertion device inserts pattern data including information related to digital watermarking into digital image data such as MPEG2 data. First, the MPEG2 data are read picture by picture, and a type of each picture is determined. Then, an insertion intensity of the pattern data is adjusted based on the type of the picture. Finally, the pattern data, which are used for digital watermarking, are inserted into the picture with the adjusted insertion intensity.

Data insertion device and method of inserting data

A VLD decodes MPEG2 data so as to generate RUN and Level therefrom. A multiplication unit multiplies target data to be added to the Level, and sends a multiplied result to an adder. The adder adds the target data to the Level. The VLC codes the MPEG2 data, using the RUN and the Level to which the target data is added. The selector compares the data length of the MPEG2 data which has been decoded by the VLC with the data length of the original MPEG2 data. If those data lengths coincide with each other, the selector selects the MPEG2 data output by the VLC. On the contrary, if those data lengths do not coincide with each other, the selector selects and outputs the original MPEG2 data. A counter counts the number of times the selector has done the selection, while another counts the number of times the selector has selected the data output by the VLC. The comparator compares the counted values of both of the counters, and adjusts the insertion degree based on a result of the comparison.

A synchronizing device and a synchronizing method whose constitution is simple and whose operation is easy to be stabilized are provided. A subtracter subtracts a value of a read pointer which calculates number of data read-out from a memory device from a value of a write pointer which calculates number of data written in the memory device to obtain subtraction value, thus causing the subtraction value to be given to a judging unit as detection data remaining quantity. The judging unit outputs comparison result signal while comparing detection data remaining quantity with reference value. A number of data increasing/decreasing unit receives data from a decoder for decoding data of the memory device. The number of data increasing/decreasing unit causes remaining quantity of data of the memory device to be prescribed value with data reading-out speed of the memory device controlled in such a way that it controls quantity of data outputted, while replying to comparison result signal from the judging unit.

A PID (Packet Identifier) filter circuit includes a FIFO (First-in, First-out) memory. Filtering may be performed irrespective of the length of the PID and irrespective of whether the position of the PID is fixed in the packet. The circuit includes a comparison value table for storing therein comparison values, and a comparator for taking comparison values successively from the comparison value table and for comparing value of the PID in the input packet data with the comparison values on a word by word basis. A FIFO memory stores input packet data. The FIFO memory does not implement a read operation until the input packet data is determined to contain desired data based on its PID. If the input packet data is determined not to contain desired data, any portion of the input packet data already stored in the FIFO is superseded.

In an interrupt line sharing circuit for a personal computer system, which has a plurality of instruments and one common interrupt line provided in common to the plurality of instruments, a personal computer executes a predetermined I/O access at each time the personal computer has completed an interrupt processing. Each of the plurality of instruments comprises an I/O monitoring circuit for monitoring whether or not the predetermined I/O access has been performed, and an interrupt line monitoring circuit monitoring the common interrupt line, for judging that an interrupt processing has been started if an interrupt request has been sent onto the common interrupt line from one of the instruments. The interrupt line monitoring circuit also judges that the interrupt processing has been completed when the I/O monitoring circuit detects the predetermined I/O access. An interrupt line control circuit discriminates a busy/not-busy condition of the common interrupt line on the basis of the start and the completion of the interrupt processing judged by the interrupt line monitoring circuit. The condition of the common interrupt line ensures that the interrupt request generated in the plurality of instruments is sent the interrupt line after the completion of the interrupt processing.
