Abstract: The present invention is directed to an elevator dispatching system for controlling the assignment of elevator cars. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method of determining the commencement and/or conclusion of UP-PEAK and DOWN-PEAK periods of operation. For example, for commencing UP-PEAK operation, a lobby boarding count is predicted, based on historical information of the number of passengers boarding the elevators at the lobby. The predicted lobby boarding count is compared with a predetermined threshold value. If the predicted lobby boarding count is greater than the predetermined threshold value, UP-PEAK is commenced. In the preferred embodiment, the predetermined threshold value is a predetermined percentage of the building's population. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a method of adjusting the threshold value based on actual passenger traffic. For example, once UP-PEAK is commenced, the load of the first few elevators leaving the lobby within a predetermined time interval is determined, and the threshold value is adjusted based on their predetermined load. If the determined load is greater than a certain percentage of the elevator car's capacity, indicative of starting UP-PEAK too late, the threshold value is decreased. Similarly, if the determined load is less than a certain percentage of the elevator car's capacity, indicatve of starting UP-PEAK too soon, the threshold value is increased.

Abstract: A high opacity, defined kaolin clay product having a relatively narrow particle size distribution, low colloidal particle content and an average particle surface area of less than about 30 square meters per gram is prepared by defining an aqueous kaolin clay slurry via controlled centrifugation to remove a substantial portion of the colloidal particles therein. Prior to being subjected to centrifugation, the aqueous kaolin clay slurry is prepared so as to improve the defining process achieved via centrifugation by first subjecting the aqueous kaolin clay suspension to scrub grinding so as to break up agglomerates into individual kaolin clay particles without substantial delamination of the kaolin clay particles. Thence, the mechanically dispersed kaolin clay suspension is dispersed well by the addition of a chemical dispersant, most advantageously sodium hexamethaphosphate, and dilution water is admixed into the aqueous kaolin clay suspension to reduce the solids content thereof to a level less than at least about 18% solids by weight, and preferably to about 5% to about 15% by weight, prior to centrifugation.

Abstract: A projection television system includes an automatic contrast control section (39) for controlling the amplitude of the luminance signal in response to the peak value of a luminance-representative image component signal in order to prevent white-spot blooming. Circuitry (41) is provided for deactivating the automatic contrast control section (39) when a user sets (15) the contrast control level above a given threshold level, e.g., corresponding to the maximum contrast control level. As a result white-spot blooming is inhibited in order to ensure sharp images for a contrast control range below the given threshold level while allowing maximum white image components to be produced (at the expense of white spot blooming) when the contrast control level is set above the threshold level, depending on the preference of the user.

Title: An echo canceller
Inventor: YATSUZUKA YOUTARO
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 1992-03-12
Abstract: In an echo canceller used in a four-wire digital telephone circuit, a main echo estimator (21) and a sub echo estimator (22) are coupled with a receive path for measuring a receive signal, and subtracters (25, 26) are inserted in a transmit path for cancelling an echo component in a transmit signal. Filter coefficients in said estimators (21, 22) are adaptively controlled by a convergence control processor (24). The main echo estimator has a small step gain for updating filter coefficients so that the response to an echo is slow, while the sub echo estimator (22) has a large step gain and quick response for an echo. An register accumulator (23) is provided so that the filter coefficients by the sub echo estimator (22) are selectively accumulated on the related filter coefficients in the main echo estimator (21) according to operation modes, ordinary mode, accumulating mode, and reset mode. In an ordinary mode, said two echo estimators (21, 22) operate independently from each other, updating the filter coefficients. In an accumulating mode, when an echo output of the second subtracter (26) is lower than that of the first subtracter(25), and the filter coefficients in the sub echo estimator (22) converge, the filter coefficients in the sub echo estimator (22) are accumulated on the related ones in the main echo estimator (21), respectively, and after reset of the coefficients in the sub echo estimator (22), the mode is then switched to the ordinary mode. When the filter coefficients in the sub echo estimator (22) diverge, or echo output of the second subtracter (26) is larger than that of the first subtracter (25), the sub echo estimator (22) is reset, and then, the mode is switched to the ordinary mode.
