Inventor: BRITT BEVERLY RIMMER
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1998-08-11
Abstract: A transmitter is provided for communicating over a cellular system.
The transmitter includes a data storage device electronically storing predefined
information to be communicated to a receiving station over the cellular system. The
predefined information may include one or more telephone numbers to be contacted
in an emergency, medical information, or any other type of information. A position
finding receiver such as a global position system, for example, is provided for
determining the current geographic location of the transmitter. The transmitter also
includes a signal processing element for providing a signal that includes the
predefined information and the current location. A transmission element receives the
signal from the signal processing element and, in response thereto, transmits a
cellular signal that includes both the predefined information and the current location.
A manually operable actuator is included to establish communication with a
receiving party over the cellular system and to initiate transmission of the cellular
signal thereto.

Abstract: A packaging blank 50 is scored with several substantially
parallel laterally spaced apart score lines 54 adjacent the
intended location of a rounded edge on the container produced
from the blank. The score lines are formed on the inside
surface of the blank which places the score lines inside the
container formed from the blank. When the blank is bent into
shape at the rounded edges, a portion of the total deflection
is absorbed by each score line whereby the resulting container
edge is a gradual curve rather than a single sharp crease.
Placing the score lines on the inside of the formed container
results in opposing faces of the container being planar and
parallel to one another.

Abstract: A video recorder comprises an input (14) for receiving a digital television signal which is fed via an interface circuit (15) to a buffer RAM and error correction circuit (16). A control and timing circuit (13) passes this signal from the buffer RAM (16) to a tape encoder (17) which converts the code n-bits at a time into a 2' level code thus reducing the data rate by I/n. This reduces the data rate to one which can be recorded by a VHS recorder. On replay the inverse operation is carried out using the tape decoder (19), buffer RAM and error correction circuit (16) and output interface (20) to provide a replayed digital television signal at an output (21). A further embodiment includes a digital video encoder/decoder to enable analogue television signals to be recorded in digital form.

Abstract: An optical disk apparatus is capable of reproducing information from an
optical disk 10. The optical disk apparatus mainly includes an illuminating unit
which is formed from a semiconductor laser 14, a collimator lens 15, a polarization
light beam splitter (PBS) 16 and a
 
quarter-wave plate 17, as well as an objective
lens 18, that focuses a light beam onto the optical disk 10; a two-segment split photo
detector 21 which detects the light beam reflected by the optical disk 10; and a signal
processing circuit 27 which processes a signal obtained by the two-segment split
photo detector 21 to output a signal for reproduction. Here, the optical disk 10 has a
recording region on which recording information can be stored along a first line and a
header field on which reproducible information is stored along a second line, the
second line being shifted from the first line a predetermined distance, the
illuminating unit focusing the light beam along the first line, and the two-segment
split photo detector 21 having two detecting areas 22a and 22b on opposite sides of a
line parallel to the reflected image of the first line position. The signal processing
circuit 27 is capable of processing a difference and a sum signal by using values
detected in the detecting areas 22a and 22b, and it outputs one of those to serve as a
playback signal reflecting a characteristic of the optical disk 10.

Abstract: A computerized method/system is provided for planning
motion of a robot within a free space confined by obstacles,
from an initial position to a goal position. In executing
the method/system, a plan is generated so that the robot can
hold and maneuver a workpiece throughout a sequence of
bending operations to be performed by a bending apparatus.
A plurality of proposed movements to be made by the robot
are proposed for an mth movement within a sequence of
movements, and at least a portion of the robot and the
obstacles that confine the free space are modeled. A
determination is made as to whether a collision will occur
between the robot and an obstacle for each proposed
movement, and a plan is generated including the sequence of
movements by choosing for each movement in the sequence of
movements, a proposed movement that will not result in a
collision and that will bring the robot closer to the goal
position. In choosing proposed movements, an estimated cost
associated with each proposed movement may be taken into
account. The estimated cost may be based upon a euclidian
distance to the goal position from the position of the robot
after the particular proposed movement is made as the mth
movement, and/or the estimated cost may be determined as a
function of the robot travel time from an (m -1)th movement
to the mth movement. Different methods are provided for
performing fine motion planning and gross motion planning.

Abstract: A step-motor-driving device includes (a) a step-motor having driving-windings
in plurality of phases, (b) an exciter for supplying power to excite
driving-windings, (c) a position detector for detecting a position of a mover of
the motor and outputs a position-detecting-signal, and (d) an excitation-timing-controller
for receiving a driving-instruction-signal and a position-detecting-signal,
and outputs an exciting signal to the exciter responsive to an
input of one of the driving-instruction-signal and the position-detecting-signal.
The excitation-timing-controller outputs the exciting signal responding an
input of the driving-instruction-signal when an excitation-switch of the
driving-winding responsive to the driving-instruction-signal directs torque in
a direction effective for the motor to rotate in a desirable direction, and the
controller outputs the exciting signal responding an input of the position-detecting-signal
when the excitation-switch of the driving-winding responsive
to the driving-instruction-signal directs torque in an unfavorable direction for
the motor to rotate in the desirable direction. This structure allows the step-motor-driving
