Abstract: A high speed screening technique is embodied in a method and apparatus that can be used to enlarge an image, or when combined with a halftone screen, can be used for high speed screening of stored images. A microcompiler (32) generates customized program code (38) responsive to an input enlargement ratio. The customized program code (38) then performs halftone screening on the input image (34) for the specified desired enlargement ratio (30). In general, for each different enlargement ratio, a different customized program code is generated. Thus, a parameter of the screening process, the enlargement ratio (30), which is an input to the microcompiler (32), is not an input during the run time of the customized program code, thereby permitting the customized program code to run faster since an input parameter has been removed and built into the code itself. A routine for generating the customized program code is described and specific programs are given.

Abstract: An optical transmitter including a laser diode (10) and achieving automatic slope variation compensation thereof. A photodetector (12) detects the output optical signal of the laser diode. One control loop (1) maintains the mean optical signal power output constant by adjusting the bias current Ib appropriately. Another control loop (2) adjusts the modulation current Imod to maintain the a.c. optical signal power constant. This is achieved by determining a voltage V2 corresponding to the mean a.c. optical signal power by rectification and comparison with a reference Vref2 to produce an error signal ΔV2. The a.c. optical signal power is thus used to indicate a reduction in slope efficiency.

Abstract: The invention relates to an agitator mill which, on the outlet side of the grinding space, has both a static separating arrangement and a dynamic separating arrangement. These two separating arrangements complement one another ideally as, in the start-up phase, in particular the dynamic separating arrangement ensures a fault-free start while, in running operation, the static separating arrangement enlarges the overall effective passage opening in a desirable manner and thus leads to low pressure in the mill. The agitator mill according to the invention is thus characterised by high operational safety, low maintenance expenditure, low wear and universal applicability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data compression system greatly compresses the stored data used by a speech recognition system employing hidden Markov models (HMM). The speech recognition system vector quantizes the acoustic space spoken by humans by dividing it into a predetermined number of acoustic features that are stored as codewords in a vector quantization (output probability) table or codebook. For each spoken word, the speech recognition system calculates an output probability value for each codeword, the output probability value representing an estimated probability that the word will be spoken using the acoustic feature associated with the codeword. The probability values are stored in an output probability table indexed by each codeword and by each word in a vocabulary. The output probability table is arranged to allow compression of the probability of values associated with each codeword based on other probability values associated with the same codeword, thereby compressing the stored output probability. By compressing the probability values associated with each codeword separate from the probability values associated with other codewords, the speech recognition system can recognize spoken words without having to decompress the entire output probability table. In a preferred embodiment, additional compression is achieved by quantizing the probability values into 16 buckets with an equal number of probability values in each bucket. By quantizing the probability values into buckets, additional redundancy is added to the output probability table, which allows the output probability table to be additionally compressed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for machining a workpiece using a laser beam, in the course of which a coating which increases the absorption factor of the surface for the laser beam is applied to the workpiece surface to be machined. According to the invention, an organic, combustible gas or gas mixture is burnt, in the course of which the carbon particles produced by the combustion form the absorption-increasing coating on the workpiece surface. The combustion flame of the fuel gas or fuel-gas mixture is advantageously directed by means of a burner onto the surface to be coated. Acetylene is preferably used as the organic fuel gas. The fuel-gas mixture, apart from the organic fuel gas, advantageously receives a gas containing oxygen, such as air, air enriched with oxygen, or pure oxygen. The process according to the invention can be used especially advantageously in laser beam hardening, laser beam remelting and laser beam cutting. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Pressure switch is shown which is accommodated in a pressure vessel (1) filled with a gas at a first pressure (P1), such as for a safety air bag in a road vehicle. The device comprises a pressure container (12) filled with a gas at a second pressure (P2), which container has at one side a flexible diaphragm (18) which reacts to the difference in the two pressures and interacts with an electrical circuit. The container is fitted with one side adjacent to and opposite a wall portion (14, 106, 214, 238, 256) of the pressure vessel and a magnetic element (16, 26, 240, 246/248) is operatively coupled to the diaphragm. The wall portion of the pressure vessel is made of non-magnetic material, and near the other side of the wall portion a magnetic field sensitive switching element (40) is mounted opposite the diaphragm magnetic element. A window element (13) of magnetic material may be placed in the wall portion of non-magnetic material, in line with the magnetic element and the switching element. An armature (232, 254) extending through the wall portion may be used to concentrate the magnetic flux path. The armature can be arranged to function in a head-on mode (232) or on a slide by mode (254). The magnetic curve of the system can be adjusted by using a bias magnet (216). A two part assembly permits attachment of the switch to the vessel without problems associated with the heat of welding from adversely affecting associated electronics and a circuit (222) is shown for providing a two wire output having voltage levels indicative of selected conditions.

Abstract: An audio signal processing circuit has a synchronizing pattern detector, an unformatter, a synthesizing filter, an output latch, and a sequence generator. The sequence generator starts to operate the unformatter and the synthesizing filter from the time of the synchronizing pattern in the audio bit stream, and then temporarily stops the operation of the unformatter and the synthesizing filter when a first sample of the audio signal is stored in the output latch. In response to an audio start signal, the sequence generator starts to operate the unformatter and the synthesizing filter again to output an audio signal without a synchronization time error.
