Abstract: In a contour correction apparatus, a first sample is selected
from among at least five plural samples of an input digital video
signal as an indication of an upper limit value. The plural samples
correspond to neighboring pixels respectively. The first sample has
a value greater than a center value among values of the plural
samples. A second sample is selected from among at least the five
plural samples as an indication of a lower limit value. The second
sample has a value smaller than the center value among the values of
the plural samples. High-frequency signal components are
generated with respect to a center sample among the plural
samples. The high-frequency signal components are added to the
center sample among the plural samples to generate an addition-resultant
signal. A value of the addition-resultant signal is limited to
within a range between the upper limit value and the lower limit
value.

Abstract: A receiver to receive a mixture of progressive and interlace video broadcast signals
without being conscious of switching between the broadcasting systems. The receiver
receives the mixed video broadcast signals having different formats, converts received
video signals to video signals having a different signal format from the signal format
of the received video signals. The receiver simultaneously outputs the received video
signals and the converted video signals . This allows the user to be unaware of any
switching when the video input changes between the different broadcasting systems,
by connecting a television set to either the interlace scanning system output or the
progressive scanning system output of the receiver.

a printing apparatus that includes a processing section (2)
for transferring a developed image onto a copy sheet and a
finishing section (8) with a compiler (96) and a stapler
(140) for receiving plural copy sheets to generate a print

Abstract: A voice-controlled multi-station network has both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent speech recognition. Conditionally to recognizing items of an applicable vocabulary, the network executes a particular function. The method receives a call from a particular origin and executes speaker-independent speech recognition on the call. In an improvement procedure, in case of successful determination of what has been said, a template associated to the recognized speech items is stored and assigned to the origin. Next, speaker-dependent recognition is applied if feasible, for speech received from the same origin, using one or more templates associated to that station. Further, a fallback procedure to speaker-independent recognition is maintained for any particular station in order to cater for failure of the speaker-dependent recognition, whilst allowing reverting to the improvement procedure.

has a scanning beam generation means (1), a focusing means
(7) and a photodetector (11) comprising at least two
detector zones (A, B, C, D) and serving to receive zeroth- and
first-order diffraction beams from the recording medium
(8). 
     The object of the invention is to obtain a reduction in
interfering influences in a signal derived from signals of
the photodetector (11), a signal such as, for example, a
focus error signal or a track error signal. 
     This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that a beam
splitting means (13, 13', 23, 23'', 33, 43) is provided,
which splits a light spot (17, 18, 18') falling onto the
photodetector (11) into two separate partial spots (17A,
17B, 17C, 17D). 
     The device is, for example, a CD or DVD player, but in
particular a recording and reproduction device for so-called
DVD-RAMs or similar optical recording media.

Abstract: A program with complete conditions for a usable mask yields a unitary
mask, each try. One mask pattern is used throughout an image, but may be
"tiled". Preferably the program, for given mask position, expresses
favorability of several candidate pass numbers as a "neighborhood
constraint" in the form of a weight; distills the weights into one
weight for each pass number; based on that, chooses a number for the
position; and iterates for all positions. Many preferences are very
useful, e.g. automatically balancing randomness vs. determinism, and
several generalized relative notations. Another invention facet uses an
input text file of mask constraints; a program reads constraints from
the file, applies them, forms a mask and stores/uses it. Another
reprocesses a mask for best image quality, fixing its own imperfections
of first-round mask forming.
