The present invention is to provide a digital video-audio signal recording and reproducing apparatus that allows the number of channels of audio data and the data width per sample to be changed corresponding to user's settings. 24-bit/sample audio data that is input as serial data to Ch 1 of the digital video-audio signal recording and reproducing apparatus is separated into high order 16 bits and low order eight bits. The high order 16 bits are recorded in a region of Ch 1 of a record medium. The low order eight bits are stored to a region of low order eight bits of Ch 3 paired with Ch 1 of the record medium. Mode information that represents that 24-bit data is separated into paired channels is added to record data each edit unit of video data. When dat is reproduced, data of paired channels is combined corresponding to the mode information so as to restore 24-bit data. Since the 24-bit data is treated as 16-bit data, the record format of 16-bit data can be used for the 24-bit data.

A recording medium controller detects the type of the record format of a recording medium, and sends detection signals to a CPU. The CPU judges whether the record format is suitable for high-speed recording or not. In a case of a general-purpose record format, the CPU detects the presence or absence of existing data in the recording medium. When the existing data is present, whole existing data is stored from the recording medium into an evacuated data area of an internal memory. Upon completing the evacuation of existing data, the recording medium controller reformats the recording medium. Then, moving image data is recorded on the reformatted recording medium. Upon completing the record of whole moving image data, existing data is reconstructed in the recording medium.

A format for providing messages among GNSS apparatus includes providing a message identification block and a message body. The message identification block includes information specifying a message length and a message type block specifying a message type. Rather than sending all data from one apparatus to another, ambiguous observation data is sent to conserve bandwidth. At the sender a deconstruction of GNSS code and carrier observations using knowledge of the signal structure and constellation geometry, together with simplifications of atmospheric models, allows removal from the observation data of that information which can be implicitly understood or recreated by the recipient. This enables only the necessary information to be packed for transmission to the recipient.

A method for auditing databases containing records of varied record formats verifies records from a test database against records from a reference database. Records from the test database are converted to test tokens, and records from the reference database are converted to reference tokens. The tokens summarize select fields of data from the records. Thereafter, pattern recognition techniques are used to analyze the tokens to determine Whether the data in the test tokens matches to data in the reference tokens. When an erroneous test token is discovered, an update token is generated to correct a corresponding record in the test database. This method is particularly well suited for auditing enhanced 911 emergency telephone service selective router databases.
