Abstract: In an automated customer interaction device such as an automated teller machine (ATM), a digital camera, under program control, provides a visual record of a transaction by recording the facial image of the client involved in the transaction. The digital visual image is compressed and stored for a preselected period of time. When a question arises with respect to a transaction, the compressed image can be retrieved and reconstructed. The reconstructed image can be used to determine the participant in the questioned activity.

Abstract: A data communication system is provided for use with a cellular system containing an array of cells and a cellular transmitter/receiver located within each cell of the array. Each cellular transmitter/receiver is adapted for transmitting and receiving voice and/or data communication over predetermined channelized frequencies associated with the particular cell in which the cellular transmitter/receiver is located. In accordance with the invention a base data transmission station is located in each cell and is adapted for transmitting a single data stream across a plurality of channels, each of which channels is adapted to carry a single stream of information. Each base data transmitting station does not transmit on the predetermined channels that are assigned to the particular cell in which the base data transmitting station is located (i.e., those channels are "notched"). In one embodiment used channels that are carrying streams of information in adjacent cells are detected and the base data transmission station does not transmit over the frequencies of the used channels (i.e., the used channels are "notched"). 
In this manner, the single data stream transmitted by the base data transmitting station is transmitted over all of the channels of the cellular array except for the channels that are notched. The base data transmitting station also transmits a notching pattern, which is continuously updated, to mobile transmitters within the cell. The notching pattern comprises information concerning the channels in the cell that are notched and information concerning used channels of adjacent cells that are notched. The mobile transmitters in the cell will transmit a single data stream over all of the plurality of channels of the cellular array except for the notched channels.

Abstract: A speech coding system robust to frame erasure (or packet loss) is described. Illustrative embodiments are directed to a modified version of CCITT standard G.728. In the event of frame erasure, vectors of an excitation signal are synthesized based on previously stored excitation signal vectors generated during non-erased frames. This synthesis differs for voiced and non-voiced speech. During erased frames, linear prediction filter coefficients are synthesized as a weighted extrapolation of a set of linear prediction filter coefficients determined during non-erased frames. The weighting factor is a number less than 1. This weighting accomplishes a bandwidth-expansion of peaks in the frequency response of a linear predictive filter. Computational complexity during erased frames is reduced through the elimination of certain computations needed during non-erased frames only. This reduction in computational complexity offsets additional computation required for excitation signal synthesis and linear prediction filter coefficient generation during erased frames.

Abstract: When aluminum members are arc welded at a welding speed of 2-7 minute, a quantity of input energy is remarkably reduced so as to form a welded joint free from deformation or strains. A weld bead with sufficient penetration is formed due to the high thermal conductivity of the aluminum material. The penetration is promoted by jagging the groove face. The heat balance between the aluminum members different in heat capacity from each other is stabilized by holding a jig having big heat capacity in contact with the aluminum member having smaller heat capacity, so that a good weld joint can be obtained regardless the difference in heat capacity.

Abstract: A stereophonic sound field generation device includes a left side localized reflected sound generation circuit (126) which generates a left channel reflected sound signal (Lr) and a left channel cancel signal (Lc) for realizing an outside-of-speaker localization of the left channel reflected sound signal (lr). The left side localized reflected sound generation circuit (126) includes a delay circuit (140) and a coefficient generator (148). By variosuly setting delay time of the delay circuit (140) and multipliation coeffcient of the coefficient generator (148) with respect to each reflected sound, at least one reflected sound in a broad listenable range can be localized in a space outside of a left channel speaker (14) even when a listener (12) moves his listening position. The stereophonic sound field expansion device includes also a right side localized reflected sound generation circuit (128) which is of the same construction as the left side localized reflected sound generation circuit (126) and at least one reflected sound can be localized in a space outside of a right channel speaker (15).

Abstract: PLL apparatus (16) for generating an oscillatory signal (S5) phase locked to a component (S2) of a further signal (S1) comprises a variable oscillator (26) for generating the oscillatory signal (S5) and a source (12) of the further signal (S1). A phase detector (22,30) responsive to the oscillatory signal (S5) and to the component of the further signal (S2), provides a phase error signal (S9) which is coupled to the variable oscillator (26) via a limiter (50). Circuit means (44) are provided for controlling the limiting level of the limiter. The dual limiting substantially improves the loop noise tolerance and reduces the loop sensitivity to occasional phase reversals of the component of the further signal. Additional enhancements to loop stability and noise immunity are provided by an unlock detector (808,812,814) which detects and totalizes phase rotations in a selected area of a phase plane and by a phase wrap detector (804) which maintains a lock indication during phase angle.

Abstract: To print an image having a 600 dpi (24 dots/mm) resolution along the horizontal axis with an ink jet printer that has a 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) resolution, the method alternately examines (s104, s106) the odd and even numbered pixel rows of the image (200; Fig. 1). Odd-numbered rows (9, 11, 13, 15) are examined in a left-to-right manner while even-numbered rows (10, 12, 14, 16) are examined in a right-to-left manner. In odd-numbered rows the even numbered pixels are deleted (s104). In the even-numbered rows, the even numbered pixels are deleted (s106) starting from the right-most pixel (Fig. 5). After deleting the respective pixels, ink drops are fired from the ink jet printer at areas corresponding to the remaining ON pixels. This visibly reproduces the image at the 600 dpi (24 dots/mm) resolution.

In this configuration, a second planar structure 212 is pivotally attached to the top edge 214 of the first structure to prevent snagging, and to enable the user to manually deflect both latches 120-120 simultaneously. In another configuration, a pair of clips 510-510 are used to join the simplex connectors together, one on top of the other, to form a vertically stacked duplex connector 500. In this configuration, the anti-snag feature is provided by cantilever triggers 130-130 that are mounted on each simplex connector adjacent to the latches.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing and storing a decodable representation of a 1D or 2D bar code symbol using a hand-held bar code reader having only a 1D image sensor. A succession of 1D digital representations are produced as the reader is moved asynchronously across the symbol to be read. These representations are examined, substantially in real time, and, if the symbol is a 1D symbol, is decoded immediately. If the symbol is not a 1D symbol, these representations are examined for the presence of one of a variety of different types of 2D finder patterns and, when the finder has been identified, decoded with reference to that finder pattern.
