provide information relating to traffic make-up, densities, 
speeds and the recognition of alarm situations. This 
objective is met by monitoring means characterised by at least 
two radiation detection means (1, 2) set in longitudinal 
spaced relationship in alignment with an intended direction of 
movement of objects passing below the radiation detection 
means, each detector being adapted to produce a signal pulse 
that is a function of the length and speed of an object 
passing below the detectors, and the at least two detectors 
being connected to processor means (7) adapted to store and 
compare the signal pulses generated by each detector. By 
providing two detectors the pulse outputs from which can be 
recognised as being from the same vehicle, and are a function 
of the length and speed of a vehicle, all manner of 
information can be provided by the data processor such as the 
categorising of vehicles by length, the volume of traffic per 
unit time, the speed and spacing of successive vehicles and 
the progressive slowing down of traffic on a particular 
stretch of road or motorway, to provide reliable information

Patent EP-0342687-A3 (EP)
IPC: G10L25/06
Filed: 1989-05-19
Abstract: In coded speech communication, discrete speech samples are 
analyzed to generate a first signal indicating the fine pitch structure of the 
speech samples and a second signal indicating their spectral characteristic. 
The amplitudes and locations of main excitation pulses are determined 
from the fine pitch structure and spectral characteristic and a third signal 
indicating the determined pulse amplitudes and locations is generated. 
The difference between the speech samples and the main excitation pulses 
is detected and used in auxiliary excitation pulse calculation to determine 
gain and index values of auxiliary excitation pulses by retrieving stored 
auxiliary excitation pulses from a code book so that the retrieved auxiliary 
excitation pulses approximate the difference. The first, second and third 
coded signals and the gain and index values are transmitted through a 
communication channel to a distant end where a replica of the main 
excitation pulses is recovered from the received first and third signals and 
a replica of the auxiliary excitation pulses is recovered from a code book in 
response to the received fourth signal. These replicas are modified with 
the second signal to recover a replica of the original speech samples.

Title: Photographic material with increased exposure latitude
IPC: G03C7/18
Filed: 1989-08-10
Abstract: There is described a photographic element in which increased exposure latitude is obtained by having a dye-forming coupler in a non-light-sensitive interlayer between two light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers. One of the silver halide emulsion layers is sensitive to a first region of the spectrum and contains a dye-forming coupler that forms a dye complementary in color to the region of the spectrum to which that layer is sensitive. The second emulsion layer is sensitive to a second region of the spectrum and contains a second coupler that forms a dye complementary to the second region of the visible spectrum. The exposure latitude in the layer sensitive to the first region of the spectrum is increased when the coupler in the interlayer forms a dye complementary in color to the second region of the spectrum, but as a function of development in the first region of the spectrum.

Title: Memory access control circuit for graphic controller
IPC: G09G5/36
Filed: 1990-04-23
Abstract: A memory access control circuit (52) 
includes an access mode determining 
information generator (2,38,39) receiving an access request from 
a data processing unit and generating information for 
determining an access mode to be performed by judging 
access information of the access request. The memory 
access control circuit (52) further includes an access 
sequence control circuit (4) having a function of performing 
memory access operations in accordance with not only 
an access mode designated by the access information 
of the access request but also other access modes and 
selecting one of the access modes in response to the 
access mode determining information from the generator 
to perform the memory access operation in accordance 
with the selected access mode.  
     Thus, the access sequence control circuit manages 
a plurality of access modes by itself and performs a 
memory access operation by selecting an adequate one 
of the access modes. The data processing unit such as 
a drawing control unit is thereby free from the management 
of all the access modes. In a graphics display system, 
the access mode determining information can be derived 
from an access address, mask data and so forth.

Title: Interpolated signal producing circuits
IPC: H04N11/20
Filed: 1990-03-08
Abstract: In an interpolated signal producing circuit, amplitudes of a 
plurality of proximate pixel signals derived by delay circuits (202, 
203) are compared in logical operating circuits (205 to 209) and the 
order of magnitudes of such pixel signals is determined, whereupon an 
interpolated signal is derived (210) which is intermediate between the 
largest and smallest amplitudes, for example, next to the largest or 
smallest amplitudes or an average thereof. The interpolated signal 
thus derived may be employed for sub-sampling, that is, doubling the 
number of pixels in each horizontal scanning line of a displayed video 
picture, for doubling the horizontal scanning lines in a field, or in 
compensating for drop-out.

Title: Microprocessor-controlled apparatus adaptable to environmental changes
IPC: G07F5/00
Filed: 1990-06-14
Abstract: A microprocessor-controlled electronic coin chute (10,20) is 
designed for use in a coin telephone station (1) and adapted to 
operate over an extended temperature range while making coin 
acceptance/rejection decisions that are both rapid and accurate. 
Within the coin chute are a pair of coin quality sensors (12,13) 
designed to measure a different property of a coin such as 
composition and size. Each coin quality sensor (12,13) comprises a 
series-connected pair of coils placed on opposite sides of the coin 
path (120). These coils are part of an oscillator circuit having a 
maximum frequency when the coin is positioned between them, and an 
idle frequency otherwise. Idle frequency measurements are made each 
time an associated telephone switchhook is operated. The measured 
idle frequency serves as a temperature indication which, together 
with a stored program, is used by the microprocessor (250) to 
establish acceptability limits for each coin in an allowed set. The 
stored program includes a predetermined functional relationship 
between acceptability limits and idle frequency for each allowable 
coin. New acceptability limits are calculated immediately after the 
idle frequencies are measured.
