    Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing data representing stored images so that a set of such stored images can be represented simultaneously on an output medium having a specified output area in such a way that more effective use of the output area is made than previously possible with prior art techniques. Typically the set of stored images to be represented will result from an image database search and the output area will be a display screen (80) of a monitor. The system of the present invention includes a divider (40) for dividing the output area of the display screen into a number of regions dependent on the number of stored images retrieved by said database, and an assignment device (50) then associates those stored images with an associated one of the created regions. Once this has been done a scaling device (60) is employed to scale each stored image associated with a display region so that, when those images are displayed on the display screen (80) of the monitor, they will occupy a selected area within the associated region of the display screen. Using this technique a set of images can be displayed on a display screen simultaneously in a way that allows the whole output area to be utilized, irrespective of the number of stored images in the set.

    Abstract: A video conferencing terminal has a liquid crystal display (50) for receiving and displaying images from a like terminal (55) and an image detection means (60) placed behind the display (50) for the detection of images to be transmitted to a like terminal (55). An image of the viewer (40) reaches the detector (60) through omitted pixels in the liquid crystal display after being collected by an optical fibre (200) and focused by a lens (180).

    Abstract: The electronic assembly has a support plate (10), on one surface of which are mounted side by side in the longitudinal direction several electronic equipment cabinets (11,12). Also on this surface there is at least one air distribution channel (21) extending longitudinally along the plate and a cooling fan (20). The latter (20) forces air along the air distribution channel (21) into the cabinets (11,12) to cool electrical components in them. The cross-section of each air distribution channel (21) may vary along its length so that different amounts of air are directed to the various components according to their cooling requirements. There may also be several secondary air distribution channels branching laterally from the main channel (21) and an arrangement for confining the air to flow into the secondary channels.
