Inventor: KRAFT CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04M1/72448
Filed: 2002-11-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a communication terminal provided with means to selectively distort an acoustic signal inputted by the user to the communication terminal during a call to another user of a communication terminal. The invention enables a user of a first communication terminal to selectively distort an acoustic signal inputted into the first communication terminal during a call with a user of a second communication terminal, where the method includes that the user of the first communication terminal inputs an acoustic signal. A processor in the first communication terminal distorts the signal according to a selection in the first communication terminal, where the selection is user defined or selected. The processor transfers the distorted signal and transmits the signal via a communication network to the second communication terminal, where a processor of the second communication terminal receives the distorted signal and uses the distorted signal as output acoustic signal in the second communication terminal to the user of the second communication terminal.

Abstract: A system for adding monitoring capability to equipment located within a video, audio
and/or data production facility. A sampling device is connected to a data communications
network and transmits a continuous representation of the video, audio or data being sampled
over a data communications network in response to commands from an operator station. To
accommodate monitoring of large numbers of sampling devices on a single network, the
sampling device may encode and/or compress the video, audio or data being monitored prior
to transmitting the sample over the network. The sampling device may also further reduce its
contribution to network loading by providing an instant sample of the stream being sampled,
such as a single video frame, either a single time, or repeatedly at regular predetermined time
intervals.

to an internal gradation graphics data format in a printer by zooming means 1,
font representing means 2 and vector representing means 3 and inputted to a
figure conserving gradation pixel data generating means 11, where an average
gradation value of plural gradation values is determined. A number of figure
bits, representing a graphical figure, are associated with each gradation value.

Abstract: A hybrid disc (300) is disclosed whose ROM grooves (321) are less than 170 nanometers deep, and whose pre-recorded ROM data pits (322) are more than 350 nanometers or less than 250 nanometers deep, as measured from the effective land level (334). The ROM pits may be pre-recorded in ROM grooves that are shallower than the ROM pits, where the ROM pits are narrower, of equivalent width or up to approximately 10% wider than the ROM grooves, respectively measured at half-depth, although the transverse extent of the ROM pits will not typically exceed that of the ROM grooves. The ROM lands intervene between consecutive ROM pits, whether or not a ROM groove is provided. One beam of a dual beam apparatus may record the ROM pits, while the other beam may record the R-band pre-grooves, and may also records the ROM groove, if present. A thermal mastering process may provide smooth feature surfaces to facilitate replication of the hybrid disc masters. The berms normally forming at the radial extremities of the pits and grooves in the masters, by thermal expulsion processes, may be reduced or eliminated by methods taught.

Abstract: A high temperature splash plate (604) for use in the combustor of a gas turbine engine that also is a specular optical reflector is described. A thin layer of a high temperature reflector (516) is applied to the surface of the splash plate (604) of the component that forms a boundary for hot combustion gases. The component typically includes a thermal barrier coating (514) overlying the high temperature metallic component that permits the component to operate at elevated temperatures. The thermal barrier coating (514) must be polished in order to provide a surface (515) that can suitably reflect the radiation into the gas flow path. A thin layer of the high temperature reflector then is applied over the polished thermal barrier coating (514) by a process that can adequately adhere the reflector (516) to the polished surface (515) without increasing the roughness of the surface (515). The surface reflects radiation in the direction of the turbine (50) back into the hot gas flow path. The reflected radiation is not focused onto any other hardware component. The design of the splash plate (604) is such that the radiation is not directed to an adjacent component, which only serves to increase the temperature of the wall of the component.
