Abstract: A filtering process and an interpolating operation process are carried out in steps on an original image signal and, in the respective steps, a plurality of unsharp image signals are formed, which represent images having the same size as the size of the original image and have different frequency characteristics. Band-limited image signals are formed from the unsharp image signals and the original image signal, restricted by conversion, and integrated. An integration signal composed of predetermined frequency components of the original image signal is thereby formed. The frequency emphasis processing is carried out by multiplying the integration signal by an emphasis coefficient, and adding the resulting product to the original image signal. The dynamic range compressing process is carried out by converting a difference signal, which is obtained by subtracting the integration signal from the original image signal, and adding the converted difference signal to the original image signal. An artifact is thereby prevented from occurring at a region in the vicinity of an edge.

Abstract: An ATM switch having multiple input and output ports is provided. The ATM switch receives ATM cells through the input ports and outputs the ATM cells through one of the output ports in accordance with output port information included in the ATM cells. An output buffer is also provided for each of the output ports to store ATM cells to be output through the output port. A cell counter is provided for each of the output buffers to count the number of ATM cells being stored in the output buffer. Additionally, the ATM switch includes counter verification circuitry for determining whether the cell counters are correctly counting the number of ATM cells stored in the output buffers. In one preferred embodiment, the counter verification circuitry includes a global cell counter that counts the total number of ATM cells being stored in all of the output buffers, an accumulator that determines the total number of ATM cells counted by the cell counters, and a comparator for comparing the accumulated count value with the global count value. Thus, the proper operation of the cell counters can be verified. This minimizes the possibility of improper operation due to a malfunction, even when the ATM switch is operated continuously for a long time period.

Title: Motor bearing structure
Inventor: SUZUKI YUZURU
IPC: H02K29/00
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: The object of this invention is not only facilitate the squareness management of a bearing mechanism to stator poles and to but also reduce a cost by the deletion of the number of components. 
     There has been a method of reducing a gap between a rotor and a stator as means necessary to raise the efficiency of a magnetic circuit to obtain the same output as prior art with small size of the motor. When the stator is reduced, the reduction of the gap further occurs by the set value according to the inclination of the rotor shaft (rotating shaft) and the concentricity of the stator with the rotor, and hence the contact of the stator with the rotor occurs. Since the inclination of the shaft and the concentricity are determined according to the accuracy of the stator and the housing of the bearings, the motor structure that the concentricity of the rotor with the stator is obtained without the inclination can be formed by integrating the stator with the housing of the bearings.

Abstract: A process for device fabrication in which polarized light is used to monitor film thickness. The polarized light is made incident on the surface of a substrate with a film thereon that has a different reflectivity than that of the underlying substrate. The surface of the film is non-planar, either by virtue of the fact that the film is formed over a substrate with a non-planar surface, or because there is a patterned layer formed over the film, or both. The substrate is subjected to conditions that change the thickness of the film on the substrate. The polarized light that is reflected from the substrate is detected at a selected wavelength or wavelengths and a trace of the intensity of the reflected light both parallel and perpendicular to the substrate surface over time is obtained. This trace is compared to a model trace which is obtained by approximating the film thickness, and the relative amount of the areas of different reflectivity on the substrate surface. The film thickness used to generate the model trace is adjusted to obtain a desired correspondence between the model trace and the actual trace. When the desired correspondence is obtained, then the film thickness used to obtain the model trace with the desired correspondence is the determined film thickness.

Abstract: Speech synthesis is based on a human vocal chords model with two dynamically interlinked masses. Their positions determine glottis parameters. In particular, a first sub-model describes the dynamically interlinked masses acted upon by external forces. A second dynamical partial model describes dynamics of a contour of the glottis in dependence of geometry parameters produced by the first sub-model, and outputs a first part of the external forces in addition to transmitting the geometry parameters. A third hydrodynamic sub-model describes hydrodynamics in dependence of the transmitted parameters, is acted upon by air pressure parameters, and outputs a second part of the external forces and an actual volume velocity.

Abstract: The A/D converter realizes a high-rate and
high-precision A/D conversion using amplifier circuits. Each
amplifier circuit amplifies a difference between the voltage
of an analog signal to be converted and a predetermined reference
voltage. Each bank of holding circuits holds the
output signals of an oscillator circuit, the levels of which
signals are variable with the passage of time, when the output
voltage of the associated amplifier circuit exceeds a
predetermined value. The signals held in each said bank of
holding circuits are output as a value representing the amplification
time of the associated amplifier circuit. An
operation means identifies a first amplifier circuit having a
reference voltage higher than the analog signal voltage and a
second amplifier circuit having a reference voltage lower
than the analog signal voltage based on the values representing
the amplification times, and determines a voltage, at a
point interiorly dividing a difference between the reference
voltages of the first and the second amplifier circuits by a
ratio of the amplification time of the second amplifier circuit
to the amplification time of the first amplifier circuit,
as the analog signal voltage, thereby computing a digital
value representing the analog signal.

multi-component modulation system such as 16-QAM in which each
component of a signal denotes values for more than one bit. At

metric for each bit of data denoted by each received signal. The

Date Oct. 16, 1997An opening and closing device for use with a shutter system for protecting a building space, such as a slat-type roller blind for a window, includes a series of slats capable of sliding in two generally vertical, laterally positioned guides (4). The slats are hooked to each other by hooking systems (7), and include a male/female interlocking system along their length. The device can be used to lower or raise the shutter system to close or open the protected space, moving between a totally closed position and a partially or fully opened position. In the closed position, the lower slat rests against a horizontal surface and the slats are interlocked with one another along their length to form a continuous sheet. In the partially or fully opened position, the slats are disengaged and separated from each other by a space determined by the height of the hooking system (7). Mirrored elements (20) can be attached to the faces of at least some of the slats to give bottom floors of the protected space maximum natural illumination while the space remains completely private, and to illuminate upper floors by altering the openings of the slats so that incoming light can be inhibited and/or diffused. This permits regulation of the internal temperature of the building responsive to the openings of the slats. When the slats are completely closed, the internal surface of the shutter system forms a mirror capable of saving a considerable amount of energy.
