Patent EP-0467157-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAGER GERHARD GRUNDIG E M V MA
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 1991-07-04
Abstract: In the course of time, the operation of modern devices for entertainment electronics has become more and more difficult for the user, especially since many new device functions have been added compared with previous devices. Voice-controlled devices for entertainment electronics are also known, in which individual device functions can be controlled by acoustic input of command words, by means of a microprocessor and a voice analyser connected to it. To increase further the operational reliability and avoid device control errors if possible, a first microprocessor is arranged in the new device, which microprocessor carries out a logic operation on acoustically entered command words and function commands entered via a key or alphanumeric keyboard during a learning process. In the subsequent operating phase, the voice command is analysed and, when a voice command is recognised, the first microprocessor supplies the associated function command to a second microprocessor which controls the various device functions. A wide field of applications is given for the new voice-controlled device, in which context task-specific matching of the two microprocessors can be effected by applying the principle of distributed control. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A television receiver includes a single tuner (102) for tuning both television channels and broadcast FM stations. The tuner (102) is operated at a fixed gain setting in FM reception mode. The tuner serves as the first conversion stage of a double conversion FM receiver, wherein the mixer of an FM radio integrated circuit serves as the second coversion stage. The arrangement operates at a specific and non-arbitrary first IF frequency. The FM receiver is also capable of automatically receiving an information service such as National Weather Service broadcasts on that one of NWS's seven allocated frequencies which is operating in a listener's area. The receiver provides an on-screen display (410) of the currently tuned FM channel number.

Abstract: In a compact disc player, a demodulator (2) demodulates signals picked up from a disc, an error detection circuit (8) corrects the demodulated data, and an interpolation circuit (10, 12, 14, 16) interpolates output data from the error detection correction circuit according to a result of the error correction. A level setting circuit (10, 12, 16) sets to zero the level of data which has not been error corrected in a peak search, according to the error correction result, and a peak level detection circuit (20, 22, 24, 26) detects a peak level of digital audio signals outputted by the level setting circuit.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for use in a key set interface to overcome the incompatibility between key sets and tip and ring devices. The interface apparatus rejects ringing voltage and tip and ring loop current intended to be supplied on a first pair of conductors, the TR-pair. The interface further includes apparatus adapted for bi-directional communication of supervisory and control signals. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a second pair of conductors, the service pair, transports bi-directional supervisory and control signals as well as operating power supplied by a key system controller for non-TR devices. Additionally, a transceiver adapted for sending and receiving voiceband information over the first pair of conductors is incorporated into the interface. An advantage of this key set interface is that operation of a key telephone set does not interfere with the operation of a tip and ring device bridged onto the first conductor pair.

Abstract: A method (and apparatus) is disclosed for the spectroscopic determination of the amount α Nn  of one constituent N of a fluid mixture 0 in another constituent n of the mixture, following separation of the mixture into its constituents 1,...,M (where n, N ≦ M). The method involves determining the absorptivities a n  (n = 1,...,N) of the M constituents from spectroscopic measurements and computing the amount α Nn  from a mathematical expression containing the absorptivities a n  and a N  which are expressed or expressable as the quotient a n /a N  only. The method is insensitive to changes in the absorptivities due to feed variability or changes in upstream process conditions. A modification to the method involves determining the content α N0  of constituent N in feed 0 from a mathematical expression containing a₀, where a₀ is the absorptivity of the feed 0, and a N , which absorptivities a₀ and a N  are expressed or expressable as the quotient a₀/a N  only.

Abstract: An apparatus for arranging, side by side, cigarettes to form three cigarette layers, seven, six and seven cigarettes in the corresponding layers, the total number being twenty cigarettes and piling the cigarette layers on one after another in a staggered way to form a three-layered cigarette package. Twenty cigarette supplying passages (14) are provided so as to communicate with the bottom portion of a hopper (11). Cigarettes are supplied to the cigarette supplying passages (14) in an aligned state. Cigarettes are taken out one by one from the bottom end of each cigarette supplying passage (14) and supplied to three cigarette arranging drums (12) on which three cigarette layers are formed. The cigarette layers on these cigarette arranging drums (12) are transferred to a cigarette piling drum (16) through transfer drums disposed between the cigarette arranging drums and the cigarette piling drum and piled on each cigarette piling head (17) of the cigarette piling drum to form a three-layered cigarette stack. The arrangement of the transfer drums (15) between the cigarette transfer drums and the cigarette piling drum (16) widens the distance between the adjacent cigarette arranging drums (12), allows the cigarette supplying passages (14) to extend substantially vertically and linearly, thereby facilitating smooth transfer of cigarette in the apparatus and reducing the diameter of the cigarette piling drum (16) so as to speed up the operation of the apparatus.

The device comprises integrators (12) each having a calculating unit (22) for calculating picture positions taking into account a motion vector and an angle of motion between blocks subjected to matching and an accumulator (28) for finding and accumulating absolute values of differences for the respective picture positions, and a decision circuit (13) for collecting outputs of the integrators (12) for each of macro-blocks as a unit and finding the smallest of the integrator outputs. With the present apparatus, not only the motion vector but also the angle of motion can be detected. Therefore, if the apparatus is applied to a picture encoding and decoding system, motion compensation may be achieved for pictures not only performing a translatory movement but also changing in the angle of motion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for making chocolate shells and hollow chocolate bodies by pouring chocolate compound into moulding recesses and distributing the chocolate compound around the inside walls of the moulding recesses by means of a subsequent centrifugal process. The object of the invention is to control the centrifuging process in such a way that certain regions of the moulding recesses remain free of chocolate compound. In the case of chocolate shells, the free regions are the edges of the moulding recesses, so that no chocolate escapes. In the case of hollow chocolate bodies, the free regions are the highest point of the moulding recess, so that an aperture remains free to permit the insertion of fillings. This is achieved in that the centrifuging movement is composed of a rotary and a pivot movement according to Fig. 1. In this process, the moulding slabs 1 are rotated about an axis 3 which is perpendicular to the pouring plane, while they are pivoted about an axis 4 which is in the pouring plane. <IMAGE>
