When a pause request occurs, an audio delay time constituted by a delay time of frames of audio data based on the video data frames is found. During the pause, a frame offset time constituted by the offset of the frame start time of the video data and the audio data is monitored. When a pause release request is issued, based on the audio delay time and the frame offset time, the audio correction t...

A receiver estimates a channel quality. A transmitter amplifies a signal by a gain proportional to a difference between a required signal-to-noise power ratio and channel quality information, which is an estimation result of the channel quality, and transmits the signal so that the receiver can obtain the signal-to-noise power ratio. In this case, the receiver or the transmitter determines a roll-...

The invention relates to a method for the heterogeneously catalysed partial gas phase oxidation of acrolein to form acrylic acid, whereby the initial mixture of reaction gas is oxidised on a fixed-bed catalyst bed which consists of at least two fixed-bed catalyst bed zones and is arranged in two successive temperature zones A and B. The transition from temperature zone A to temperature zone B does...
