Patent EP-1098298-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TASAKI HIROHISA
IPC: G10L19/08
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: A speech coding apparatus comprises a repetition period
pre-selecting unit for generating a plurality of candidates for
the repetition period of a driving excitation source by
multiplying the repetition period of an adaptive excitation
source by a plurality of constant numbers, respectively, and
for pre-selecting a predetermined number of candidates from all
the candidates generated. A driving excitation source coding
unit provides both excitation source location information and
excitation source polarity information that minimize a coding
distortion, for each of the predetermined number of candidates,
and provides an evaluation value associated with the minimum
coding distortion for each of the predetermined number of
candidates. A repetition period coding unit compares the
evaluation values provided for the predetermined number of
candidates with one another, selects one candidate from the
predetermined number of candidates according to the comparison
result, and furnishes selection information indicating the
selection result, excitation source location code, and polarity
code.

Abstract: The adjustment mechanism of the present invention is mounted to a frame
(14) and comprises an alignment cam (40) that is pivotally mounted to the frame (14)
by a tension link pivot pin (42). The alignment cam (40) is provided with an actuating
arm (44) that is coupled to a longitudinally extendible adjusting member (46). The
longitudinally extendible adjusting member (46) comprising a screw jack. A tension
link (30) is pivotally mounted to the tension link pivot pin (42). Camming surfaces
(60) on the alignment cam (40) are skewed with respect to the transverse axis
defined by the tension link pivot pin (42) so that rotation of the alignment cam (40)
twists the tension link (30) and thereby the idler wheel (18) predominately about a
vertical axis. Albeit to a lesser degree, rotation of the alignment cam (40) also twists
the tension link (30) and idler (18) about a longitudinally extending horizontal axis.
Therefore by extending or retracting the screw jack, the toe-in/toe-out orientation of
the idler wheel (18) can be adjusted.

Abstract: Endpoints, such as clients and gateways, maintain
local codec priority lists (500), receive remote codec
priority lists (504), and maintain common communication
attribute priority lists (502). When opening a
transmittal channel, a local endpoint determines the
highest priority codec on its local priority list (500)
that is also on the remote priority list (504). The
local endpoints also determines the highest priority
codec on the remote priority list (504) that is also on
the local priority list (500). If the codec types
match, then the transmitting channel is opened with
that codec. If there is no match, then the common
communication attribute priority list (502) is used,
and the local or remote codec that has a corresponding
highest or lowest desired attribute is used for the
communication.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for constructing and transmitting an executable software module on a personal information server to a remote computer. The software module is constructed such that once received by a browser displaying a form, it is executed and user data is automatically inserted into an electronic form. The software module contains field names from a downloaded form and matching data items which are inserted into the form on the remote user computer. A method for constructing a shippable software module on a personal information server suitable for execution on a remote computer for inserting data strings into an electronic form is described. A form mapping containing a set of associations between fields in the electronic form ("non-standard fields") and pre-named fields ("standard fields") on the personal information server is retrieved. Each mapping is associated with a registered electronic form. A raw data file containing data strings, each data string corresponding to a pre-named field is retrieved. Each raw data file is associated with a registered user. The form mapping is utilized to attach a data string to the field in the electronic form where the pre-named field and the field in the electronic form have been previously matched or mapped.

Abstract: A data structure of an image signal includes a reproduction cycle identifier indicating whether the cycle of image display for each frame is variable or not. When the display cycle identifier indicates that the display cycle is fixed, display cycle data is inserted in a header of the coded image data, and data relating to the frame number is inserted in each frame. On the other hand, when the display cycle identifier indicates that the display cycle is variable, display time data is inserted for each frame. Therefore, when decoding and displaying the coded image data having a fixed display cycle, the decoded image data can be displayed by a simple circuit structure, i.e., based on the display cycle data and the frame number data having a relatively small data quantity (bit number), without referring to the display time data having a relatively large data quantity for each frame. Furthermore, this data structure can be applied to a coded image signal having a variable display cycle.

Abstract: An assembly converts a fibre feed into a spun thread in a jet block (20). Fibres are fed through a spindle (32) passage (45) to a chamber (14) sub-divided by a profile with a flat lower surface and a cambered upper surface into two passages. The thread structure can especially be varied by alteration of the jet block geometry. The thread structure is altered by the difference in fibre residence time within the block, the difference in angle of attack of the thread to the profile, the difference in thread speed through the different passages within the block, and the difference in thread presentation at the end of its passage through the block. The cambered passage (24.12) is longer than the straight (24.13) passage. These changes are effected by differences in distances covered by threads through different passages and passages whose centrelines vary with respect to the jet block centreline. Threads pass through different passages transported by air at different speeds, which may accelerate or decelerate as they proceed. Other adaptations are achieved by the use of staple fibres of different length, the use of natural fibre or endless synthetic fibres. Also claimed is a suitable assembly.

Abstract: The method involves inserting a mandrel (1) in the pipe beginning (3), whose outer diameter is smaller along a first section than the inner diameter of the pipe beginning and corresponds along a third section to the inner diameter of the pipe. A roller set around the pipe has radially-adjustable rollers and is used to constrict a part axially spaced from the pipe end without reducing the wall thickness.   The pipe is pulled towards a second part of the mandrel, in which its diameter enlarges to that of the third section, using the rollers, so that the wall thickness is continuously reduced. At the beginning of the third section, the finished wall thickness is achieved, and the pipe is then rolled out as far as the pipe end. The mandrel is pulled out and one or more pipe-drawing mandrels are inserted, in the conventional manner. An Independent claim is included for a roller machine for implementing the method.
