In a double heat exchange, a radiator and a condenser are integrated through a side plate for reinforcing the radiator and the condenser, and a longitudinal dimension of condenser tubes is made smaller than a longitudinal dimension of radiator tubes. Therefore, a core area of the condenser becomes smaller than that of the radiator. Thus, heat-exchanging capacity of the condenser is restricted from being increased more than a necessary capacity, and size and performance of the double heat exchanger are restricted from being increased more than necessary conditions.

Implanting the biological implantation RFID tag in the living body allows the inlet portion to be implanted in a subcutaneous tissue layer with most of the auxiliary antenna projecting out from the living body.

By sharing tasks between the CV and the KVs, the MKV interceptor provides a cost-effective missile defense system capable of intercepting and killing multiple targets. The placement of the acquisition and discrimination sensor and control sensor on the CV to provide target acquisition and discrimination and mid-course guidance for all the KVs avoids the weight and complexity issues associated with trying to “miniaturize” unitary interceptors. The placement of a short-band imaging sensor on each KV overcomes the latency, resolution and bandwidth problems associated with command guidance systems and allows each KV to precisely select a desirable aimpoint and maintain track on that aimpoint to impact.

By sharing tasks between the CV and the KVs, the MKV interceptor provides a cost-effective missile defense system capable of intercepting and killing multiple targets. The placement of the acquisition and discrimination sensor and control sensor on the CV to provide target acquisition and discrimination and mid-course guidance for all the KVs avoids the weight and complexity issues associated with trying to “miniaturize” unitary interceptors. The placement of either a short-band imaging sensor and headlamp or a MWIR sensor on each KV overcomes the latency, resolution and bandwidth problems associated with command guidance systems and allows each KV to precisely select a desirable aimpoint and maintain track on that aimpoint to impact. An implicit divert and attitude control system (DACS) using tow or more divert thrusters performs KV divert and attitude maneuvers to respond to the command guidance pre-handover and to maintain track on the aimpoint to terminal intercept post-handover.

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for decoding digital video or motion picture signals with error concealment to prevent or minimize degradation of the picture quality. When corruption occurs, the method determines whether error concealment is needed according to a preset criterion. If so, motion vectors for the corrupt region are calculated using the motion vectors and rates of change of motion of current blocks in the current frame and / or old blocks in a previous frame according to a best matching block selection process. The method also determines if the “time” relative motion of content is small by defining a percentage use parameter. In some cases, once the error concealment is complete, the “weight” or visual sensitivity of the restored block is decreased in order to reduce boundary artifact effects. This is accomplished by a quantization mask employing the human visual system (HVS) concept.
