Attached herewith is a statement establishing small entity status. A statement establishing small entitystatus for this patent has been filed and It is confirmed that the current owner of this patent still qualifies for small entity status.

2. LOSS OF ENTITLEMENT TO SMALL ENTITY STATUS NOTE 37 CFR 1.28(b) requires "Notification of any change in loss of entitlement to small entity status must be filed In...p atent prior to paying, or at the time of paying, the earliest of the issue fee or any maintenancefee due after the date on which status as a small entityis no longer appropriate pursuant to Section 1.19 of this part." From the wordingaf 37 CFR 1.28(a): notification of change of status (a) must be made even If the fee is paid as "other than a small entity and (b) no notification is required if the change Is to another small entity. See also 37 CFR 1.36619.

technical approaches usually gets in the way of rapid image analysis. Color image translations are far easier after HSI conversion. For example, a purple image can be made ih into an orange one wt just a single value change. RGB would r----ire three value translations. S 'p. intensity changes in color requu-e a single modilication (three are needed for RGB brightness changes). In order to achieve this real-time HSI conversion, on`e value must be dividrate. ed by another at a 15-m~ The DT7910 (RGB to HSI) and DT7911 (HSI to RGB) chips handle video data at rates UD to 768 X 512 pixels, at 30-Hz video rates. Using HCMOS fabrication, each 68-pin PLCC package draws under 140-mA from a 5-V SUDD~V. - .. - . .. Chips are$&kach in lots 1,000.

SSTV signals must be'tuned in properly with the proper

rightness and the l2OO. L synclironization pulses will be detected. If the signal is not "in sync." the picture will appear wildly skewed. The easiest way to tune SSTV is to wait for the transmitting operator to say something on voice and then tune him in while he is talking. With experience you may find you are able to zero in on a n SSTV signal by listening t o the sync pulses and by watching for proper synchronization on the screen. Many SSTV monitors are equipped with tuning aids of various kinds. If you want lo record slow-scan pictures off the air, there are two ways of doing it. One is to tape record thc audio The other is ' signal for playback later. to take a picture of the image right from the SSTV screen.

On SSTV, FCC rules require that identification be made by voice or cw. Sending "This is WAOXYZ" on the screen is nof sufficient. Most stations intersperse the pictures with comments anyway, so voice i-d is not much of a problem. Otherwise, -SSTV operating procedures are quite similar to those used on ssb. As with RTTY. the station transmitter must be tuned for 100-percent duty cycle, since the SSTV emission is a constant tone. Only the frequency is changing.

SLOW-SCAN i ELEVlSlON
Nestled among the CW, phone and RTTY operators i n the Amateur Radio bands is a sizable following of 1i:itns wlio regularly exchange still pictures in a niaricr of scconds viriually anywhere on earth. They are using a systeni callctl slow-sunn television (SSTV), wliicli was originally designed by i i n aniaieur in rlic emly 1960s. Over the ycars, the amatcur . community has been continually refining and improving the quality of SSTV..Ainateur success with SSTV during tlie past two dccades tias led to its application by the military and commercial users as a reliable long-range. narrow-bandwidih transniission system. Tlie worldwide appeal of SSTV is manifested by tlie many DX stations that are now equipped for rhis type of picture transmission. Several amateurs have even worked over 100 DXCC countries on SSTV! Just as the name inrplies. SSTV is ilie transmission of a picture by very slowly transmitting llie pictiire elenicnts, while a television monitor at tlic receiviiig end reproduces it iii step. An SSTV signal is a variable frequency audio lone from 1500 Hz for black to 2300 Iiz for white, with I200 Hz used for synchronization pulses. Unlike f a s t - w n tclevision, which uses 30 frames per second. a single SSTV frame takes 81least eight to fill the screen. Additionally, the vertical resolution of SSTV is only 120 lines (or 128 for some digital systems) compared with 525 lines for fast-scan,.(Sonie high-resolution ` experimeiital designs are operating with 256 lines.) These disadvantages are offset by the Fact that SSTV requires less than 1/2000 of a last-scan TV's bandwid:li. Thus, tlie I`CC permits it in any amateur phone band. Tlie basic SSTV format represents a tradeoff anioiig bandwidlh, picture raic and rcsolulion. To achieve practical HI' long-distalice comniuiii~ations. tlic S S W spcclrum \vas designed to fit into a standard 3-kliz voice bandwidth through a reduction in picture resolution and frame rate. Thus, SSTV resolution is lower than FSTV and is displayed in tlic form of still pictures. A saniple SSTV picture is shown in Fig 16-6. In recent years, amateurs have becn actively experimenting with various forms o f video-processing techniques to provide limitcd motion and increased resolution. The greatest advanccments are currently being made in the realm of color SSTV. Unfortunately, most of this work has been done independently from each other, resulting in a niul~iiude.ol`dilfercnt SSTV color standards. Although the 12O-line/8-s format is standard for black and white, newconiers to SSTV should be cautioned `that color SSTV standards are in a state of flux which may severely limit interoperability. I n the coniing years; i t is expected that tlie amateur coinnpiity will adopt a single color format. License Requirements and Operating Frequencles In the H F bands, a General- or higher-class license i 5 required to operate SSTV. Operation is restricted to the phone portion of the bands. At U H F and above, a Technician-class amateur license or higher is needed, although tlie vast majority of SSTV activity occurs in tile HI: bands. In the US, slowscan TV using double-sideband AM or FM on Ilic HI: bands is not pcrmictcd. Tlie common accepted SSTV calling frequencies are 3.845 M H z (Advanced), 7.171 MHz (Advanced). 14.230 MHz (General) and 28.680 MHz (General). Traditionally, 20 meters has been the niost popular band for SSTV operations. A weekly internaiional SSTV net is lieid each Saturday at 1800 UTC on 14.230 MHz. Many ycars ago, when SST\' was first authorized. the 1:CC rcconinicnded that

On SSTV, the legal identification must be made by voice ''_ o? CW. Sending "This is W9NTP" on the screen is not suf-

ficient. Mort stations intersperse the picture with commcnb ;inyway, jo voice 11) is not much of a problem. Otherwise SSTV operating procedures are quite similar to those used on SSB. Equipment All you need to get started is an SSl3 station (or FM station lor -VIiF/UHI:), a monitor, scan converter.and a video source. Like RTTY, SSTV is a 100%-duty-cycle transmission. Most sideband rigs will have to run considerably below their voice power ratings to avoid ruining the final amplifier or power supply. Early SSTV monitors used long-persistence CRTs much like classical radar displays. I n a darkened enviroiimen!. the image remained visible for a few seconds wliile the frame was.conipleted. This type of reception is u n i m a l today .and has bcen replaced with .digital scan converters which convert S,STV to FSTV to place a bright image on a conventional lelevision monitor. Some of this older equipment is available almost for the asking and is a good way, on a teniporary basis, to examine the SSTV mode without investing much money. hlotivated by the difficulty of observing SSTV pictures on the long-persistence CRTs. the scan converter is a result of recent advances i n digital techniques. In receive mode, the device converts tlie incoming audio to a fast-scan video signal that is usable by a conventional fast-scan TV moniior. Similarly, on transmit the converter cliaiiges tile fast-scan camcra outpiit to a standard slow-scan signal. A personal computer equipped with the proper software and interface aiakcs a highly cost-effective slow-scan converter. Computers
