Abstract: A laser generator (12) is provided having a rotating scanner
head (16) within which a target (32) is mounted. The target is a position
sensitive cell which is used to buck the laser generator into a
pre-determined reference plane. The laser generator is used in
conjunction with passive reflectors (14) which do not need any circuitry
to be operated. In operation, the laser generator scans a
generated laser beam to define a laser plane. The reflectors are
disposed to define the reference plane. As the generated laser
beam impinges upon a reflector, the laser is re-directed back to
the scanning head where it impinges upon the target. The
impingement upon the target indicates the relative position and
angular orientation relative to the reflector. In response to
acquired data, the position and angular orientation of the laser
generator may be adjusted to be aligned with all of the reflectors,
resulting in the scanned laser plane being bucked into the
reference plane.

Abstract: A system (10) for use with a CATV settop terminal (12)
measures the input RF carrier signal power level at several frequencies
within the CATV RF input bandwidth upon system power-up. The system
utilises these measurements to selectively equalise and process the RF
input signal depending upon the carrier frequency selected and the desired
signal level to be input to the RF tuner. The system refines the signal level
by specifically measuring the signal level of the selected carrier frequency.
The system further improves RF tuner performance by dynamically limiting
the bandwidth input to the RF tuner depending upon the selected carrier
frequency.

Abstract: Methods and systems for compressing and decompressing 3-D geometry data
which includes regularly tiled surface portions. One compression method includes
representing a surface portion as a "vertex raster", which comprises specifying an extent
value and encoding the vertex parameter values of vertices within the surface portion.
The extent of the surface portion specifies the arrangement of vertices within the surface
portion, and allows the vertices to be properly assembled into drawing primitives during
decompression. The encoded vertex parameter values may be encoded globally (by
setting initial values and corresponding delta values), locally (on a per-vertex basis), or
using a combination of these techniques. Absolute, delta encoding, or delta-delta
encoding may be utilized for these parameter values. Vertex parameters which may be
encoded in this manner include position, color, normals, z-displacement values, texture
map coordinates, and surface material properties. Additionally, connectivity information
may also be encoded using this compression method by specifying quad split bits and
half-resolution edges. Quad split bits are used to tessellate a quadrilateral formed by
neighboring vertices of a surface portion according to the direction of the strongest color
change. Half-resolution edges are utilized to gradually shift from an area of high
resolution to an adjacent surface portion represented in lower resolution. For graphical
objects which include a plurality of adjacent surface portions, a step command is
disclosed which allows data from one surface portion to be advantageously reused.
Decompression of a vertex raster representation, in one embodiment, comprises decoding
the extent value, global parameter values, and a per-vertex stream of local parameter
values.

Abstract: An exchange (12) has a cross-point switch that is arranged to couple data
transmission between subscriber terminals (16, 18), each having a dedicated
modem (34), and at least one assignable modem (148) located in the
exchange (12). The exchange (12) comprises fewer assignable modems than

transmission sent via the modems of the subscriber terminals, the cross-point
switch (106) thereby acts to concentrate a ratio of dedicated modems to
assignable modems.

Abstract: A method for compression and decompression of dithered
images is disclosed. Logical units (tiles) of the binary
representation are classified (205) into equivalence
classes which are then compressed (206). Each equivalence
class represents tiles having similar gray levels (i.e. the
same number of black pixels), but which may have different
sequences of black and white pixels. Each equivalence
class has associated with it a predefined set of rendering
exemplars. Each of the exemplars has a similar gray level.
Upon decompression, each instance of an equivalence class
takes on the value of one of the rendering exemplars which
is selected pseudo-randomly. This effectively causes the
image to be re-dithered so there is no loss of critical
image information on decompression.

Abstract: A system for learning a mapping between time-varying
signals is used to drive facial animation
directly from speech, without laborious voice track
analysis. The system learns dynamical models of
facial and vocal action from observations of a face
and the facial gestures made while speaking. Instead
of depending on heuristic intermediate representations
such as phonemes or visemes, the system trains
hidden Markov models to obtain its own optimal representation
of vocal and facial action. An entropy-minimizing
training technique using an entropic prior
ensures that these models contain sufficient
dynamical information to synthesize realistic facial
motion to accompany new vocal performances. In addition,
they can make optimal use of context to handle
ambiguity and relatively long-lasting facial co-articulation
effects. The output of the system is a
sequence of facial control parameters suitable for
driving a variety of different kinds of animation
ranging from warped photorealistic images to 3D cartoon
characters.

switching apparatus (1) is charged by a charging mechanism (387) which includes a
charging cam (173) mounted on a cam shaft (115) and rotated by a ratchet wheel (389).
An elongated handle (31) is mounted for rotation about a pivot axis (127) offset laterally

on the ratchet wheel (389) is pivotally connected to the handle (31) at a point closer to the
handle pivot axis than the radius of the ratchet wheel (389) to increase the mechanical
advantage of the handle (31). A common spring (413) biases the drive link (397) and a
stop dog (409) against the ratchet wheel (389). A turned pin (401) on the drive link (397)
is used to engage the ratchet teeth (403) which have an arcuate profile including a radius

Abstract: A digital word prototype is constructed using one or more
speech utterance for a given spoken word or phrase. First, a phone model is
used to derive phoneme similarity time series for each of a plurality of
phonemes which represent the degree of similarity between the speech
utterance and a set of standard phonemes contained in the phone model.
Next, the phoneme similarity data is normalized in relation to a non-speech
part of the input speech signal. The normalized phoneme similarity data is
divided into segments, such that the sum of all normalized phoneme similarity
values in a segment are equal for each segment. Next, a word model is
constructed from the phoneme similarity data. To do so, within each
segment, a summation value is determined by summing over speech frames
each of the normalized phoneme similarity values associated with a particular
phoneme. In this way, the word model is represented by a vector of
summation values that compactly correlate to the normalized phoneme
similarity data. Lastly, the results of the individually processed utterances for
a given spoken word (i.e., the individual word models) are combined to
produce a digital word prototype that electronically represents the given
spoken word.
