Title: Seilspielgerät
Inventor: KOEHLER KARL-HEINZ
IPC: A63B9/00
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: Bekannte Klettergerüste mit einem Stützrahmen, in dem ein Seilnetz verspannt ist, sind als Einzelspielgeräte nicht sehr attraktiv, weil kein nennenswertes Raumnetzvolumen entsteht, andererseits das Gerät nicht durch modularen Aufbau zu größeren Einheiten kombinierbar ist. Nach der hier vorliegenden Ausführung besteht der Stützrahmen aus mindestens einem fünfeckigen Rahmenteil, wobei innerhalb jedes Rahmenteils ein separates Seilnetz aufgespannt ist. Die Rahmenteile lassen sich so modular zu komplexen Raumgebilden zusammensetzen.

Abstract: A method of speech recognition is provided
that identifies a production-related dynamics value
by performing a linear interpolation between a
production-related dynamics value at a previous time
and a production-related target using a time-dependent
interpolation weight. The hidden
production-related dynamics value is used to compute
a predicted value that is compared to an observed
value of acoustics to determine the likelihood of the
observed acoustics given a sequence of hidden
phonological units. In some embodiments, the
production-related dynamics value at the previous
time is selected from a set of continuous values. In
addition, the likelihood of the observed acoustics
given a sequence of hidden phonological units is
combined with a score associated with a discrete
class of production-related dynamic values at the
previous time to determine a score for a current
phonological state.

Abstract: Apparatus is described which can be used to calibrate a
machine or as a machine itself. The apparatus comprises
two structures each with three supports spaced in a
triangular array thereon. The supports may be balls or
sockets. The structures are interconnected by six members
and each support has the ends of two members connected to
it. When used as a calibration device the members are
passive extensible measuring bars and the structures are
respectively connected to fixed and movable parts of a
machine so that movement of the machine parts causes
relative movement between the structures and varies the
lengths of the measuring bars. From measurements of the
lengths of the measuring bars the actual movement of the
machine part can be calibrated. When used as a machine,
the members are powered struts by means of which one of the
structures, which carries a tool or a probe can be
manipulated relative to the other, to position the tool or
probe relative to a workpiece.

Abstract: Synthesizing a set of digital speech samples corresponding to a selected voicing
state includes dividing speech model parameters into frames, with a frame of speech
model parameters including pitch information, voicing information determining the
voicing state in one or more frequency regions, and spectral information. First and
second digital filters are computed using, respectively, first and second frames of speech
model parameters, with the frequency responses of the digital filters corresponding to the
spectral information in frequency regions for which the voicing state equals the selected
voicing state. A set of pulse locations are determined, and sets of first and second signal
samples are produced using the pulse locations and, respectively, the first and second
digital filters. Finally, the sets of first and second signal samples are combined to
produce a set of digital speech samples corresponding to the selected voicing state.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for extending a
microprocessor instruction set to allow for selective override of
memory traits at the instruction level. The apparatus includes
translation logic and extended execution logic. The translation
logic translates an extended instruction into a micro instruction
sequence. The extended instruction has an extended prefix and an
extended prefix tag. The extended prefix specifies a memory trait
for a memory reference prescribed by the extended instruction,
where the memory trait for the memory reference cannot be
specified by an existing instruction from an existing instruction
set. The extended prefix tag indicates the extended prefix, where
the extended prefix tag is an otherwise architecturally specified
opcode within the existing instruction set. The extended
execution logic is coupled to the translation logic. The extended
execution logic receives the micro instruction sequence, and
employs the memory trait to execute the memory reference.

Abstract: Power conversion apparatus includes a circuit board with power conversion circuitry and a
package. The package includes an upper portion that encloses circuitry on a top surface of the
circuit board and a lower portion that encloses circuitry on a bottom surface of the circuit board.
The lower portion encloses a region on the circuit board that is smaller than the region enclosed
by the upper portion and is arranged to define an overhang region on the bottom surface of the
circuit board. The overhang region preferably extends along two or more sides of the periphery
of the bottom surface. Interface contacts are provided on the bottom surface in the overhang
region for making electrical connections to the circuit board. The power conversion apparatus
may be mounted in an aperture in an external circuit board or may be mounted horizontally or
vertically to the external board using an interconnect extender. Heat sinks located on the
external circuit board or on the interconnect extender may be thermally coupled to the power
converter. 
     The package may be formed by encapsulating areas of the circuit board assembly either
before or after the interface contacts are attached to the circuit board. A method for
encapsulating two sides of a substrate includes providing a mold that fills a larger first cavity to
create a sealing force on a smaller second cavity. The encapsulant flows through the first cavity
into the second cavity. 
     A thermal extender includes a surface for mounting a heat dissipating power converter
and a surface for mating with an external circuit board. Interface conductors mate with contacts
on the heat dissipating power converter and with conductive regions on the external circuit
board. A heat sink is thermally coupled to remove heat generated by the power converter. The
heat sink may be molded or include an extension of a thermally conductive layer extending from
the converter mounting area. The thermal extender may include an aperture for accepting a
lower portion of the heat dissipating power converter.
