Title: System for animating virtual actors using linguistic representations of speech for visual realism.
Inventor: MASSEY NOEL
IPC: G10L21/10
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: A neural network based parameter system 118 is used for generating a virtual actor (visually-rendered model with speech 132) of which the movements are correlated with synthetic speech.Text 102, used to drive the virtual actor, is converted 104 to a linguistic representation of speech 106, which is converted to neural network linguistic parameters 110 by pre-processor 108. The neural network module 112 converts the neural network linguistic parameters into raw spatial parameters 114, which are finally converted into model parameters 120 by a post-processor 116. These model parameters 120 are then used to drive the virtual actors. Alternatively, a non-neural network based linguistics-to-speech module is used to convert the linguistic representation of speech 106. The speaker profile of a linguistics-to-speech module 126 provides data to change the characteristics of the alternatively-synthesized speech 128.

Title: Thermal transfer printer having selectively mountable multi-colour ink ribbon print unit and thermally deformable porous ink carrier film unit
Inventor: SUZUKI MINORU
IPC: B41J27/20
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: A printer system comprises a thermal printer 100 (Fig.1), a thermal printing unit 200 (Fig.1) and an ink transfer unit 300 (Fig.1). The thermal printing unit and the ink transfer unit can be selectively mounted in the thermal printer. When the thermal printing unit is mounted (Fig.7), ink contained in an ink ribbon (I) is transferred onto a recording sheet P'. When the ink transfer unit is mounted (Fig.6), ink stored in an ink reservoir 310 (Fig.1) is transferred onto a recording sheet P' through a thermally deformable porous film 322 (Fig.6) via the expanded pore(s) 325 (Fig.6) therein. The pore(s) are positioned to correspond to a heating element 142 (Fig.6) of a thermal head 140. A pair of LED sensors (171,172) (Fig.1) may be provided to produce a signal to show whether the thermal printing unit or the ink transfer unit is mounted and the thermal head is adjusted accordingly. When neither the thermal printing unit nor the ink transfer unit are mounted on the thermal printer, an image can be formed on a thermal recording sheet (P,Fig.2) by direct thermal printing.

Title: Spindle brake
Inventor: BIEBER KARIN
IPC: B24B47/26
Filed: 1998-11-23
Abstract: A device for arresting a shaft (10) rotatingly mounted in a housing (11), in particular the tool spindle of a hand-held electrical machine tool has two arresting members (12, 13) which can be brought into engagement with one another and of which the first is disposed in the housing (11) in a non-rotatable manner while the second is disposed on the shaft (10) in a rotation-proof manner. The members 12,13 are prevented from engaging while the shaft is rotating. As shown this is achieved by the shape of the detents 15,19 which ride over each other during relative motion. Alternatively this can be achieved by caming devices or by pawls held out of engagement by electromagnets.

Title: Torsional vibration damper
Inventor: SUDAU JOERG
IPC: F16F15/131
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: In a torsional vibration damper two flywheel mass arrangements 5, 11 are able to rotate relative to each other about an axis 1. The flywheel mass arrangements 5, 11 are connected by a coupling mass arrangement 19 to transmit rotary forces. The flywheel mass arrangements 5, 11 employ axially spaced sheet metal parts 15, 17 having hubs 6, 8 with a rotary bearing 9. The coupling mass arrangement 19 is an elongate strap 21 disposed between the parts 15, 17. Rollers 25, 29 at the ends of the strap 21 locate in shaped recesses 27, 33 in the parts 15, 17 and the rollers 25, 29 are guided along guide paths 35, 37, 47, 49 defined by the recesses 27, 33. As the flywheel mass arrangements 5, 11 rotate relative to one another to tend to transmit vibration, the rollers 25, 29 are guided along the guide paths to cause the coupling arrangement 19 to compensate and dampen such vibration. Each part 15, 17 may have a plurality of coupling mass arrangements and recesses. One or both flywheel mass arrangements (5c, 11c, Fig 5) may have a continuous recess (65).

Title: Foldable mobile telephone using ultrasonic means to detect open/closed state.
Inventor: EGUCHI TADASHI
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: A foldable mobile telephone comprises a main body 1, an openable lid 2 and ultrasonic transmitter 6 and receiver 9 for detecting whether the lid is open or closed. The main body has a loudspeaker 4 which may incorporate the transmitter and the lid has a microphone 7 which may act as the ultrasonic receiver. An ultrasonic oscillator intermittently generates an ultrasonic signal at fixed intervals which drives the ultrasonic transmitter. The ultrasonic receiver detects the ultrasonic acoustic signal generated by the transmitter and generates an ultrasonic detecting signal. This signal is receiver by an ultrasonic level judging circuit which decides whether the level of this signal is higher or lower than a decided level and also judges the open/closed state of the lid and generates a judging signal. This construction allows the detection of the open/closed state of the lid without being affected by external magnetic fields.
