Abstract: A graphical multimedia user interface is disclosed that employs a real life meeting room metaphor that provides a user experience in which the users point of view is that of being physically brought into a real life meeting room. Specifically, the graphical multimedia user interface provides a display to the user that places him or her outside the meeting room prior to entry and a real life animation sequence (including audio components) that upon successful user authentication provides an intuitively natural perception of the user being physically transported through dynamically opening doors into the meeting room and, finally, above a conference table. To this end, the graphical multimedia user interface leads, i.e., prompts, the user through the necessary sequence of events in accessing a virtual meeting in an intuitively natural manner. The advantage of this graphical multimedia user interface is the full use of the real life meeting room metaphor and enhancing the ease of use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention allows image recording with plural light beams while eliminating alignment changes of light spots on the inner face of a drum. A light beam output unit 212 combines two circularly polarized light beams having opposite handedness to each other to produce a composite light beam CB. A polarization beam splitter 203 and mirrors 205 and 207 change the course of the light beam towards the inner face of a drum 120. A quarter-wave plate 202 and the polarization beam splitter 203 splits the composite light beam to two separate light beams as a function of the handedness of the circularly polarized light. The optical elements 202, 203, 205, and 207 are integrally rotated around the axis of the drum 120 by a main scanning motor 230, thus scanning a photosensitive material 110 held on the inner face of the drum 120 with the light beams.

Abstract: Determining formant information of a speech signal in a transform coder in order to reduce noise and distortion caused by quantization is disclosed. Dividing the signal into blocks using a window (52) is followed by dynamic scaling (54) used to conserve necessary processing for the discrete cosine transform (64) and the use of LPC coefficients (68) for pitch generation (82) and bit allocation (108). Consequently, the transformed information (64), pitch (106), and bit allocation (108) are utilized for accurate quantization (66) of the speech signal. Dynamic scaling (54), pitch (97), and quanitization (66 and 80) information are then converted to a standard format (116) for transmission and subsequent decoding.

Abstract: A sheet aligning and registration device for a printing machine. In a stalled roll registration device there is provided a drive mechanism preceding the stalled rolls (125) which allows a sheet to move while within the drive nip. The drive mechanism uses a drive roll (121) and an eccentric idler roll (122) in contact therewith. The idler is biased against the drive roll by a compression spring (123) such that as the eccentric idler roll rotates, the spring is alternately compressed and relaxed. When a sheet is driven through the drive mechanism and into the stalled nip, a buckle (49) is formed which causes a force (132) to be exerted on the drive nip which causes the eccentric roll to stall in the horizontal position in which little normal force is exerted on the sheet. The sheet is then free to deskew and align in the stalled nip. Once the sheet is aligned and deskewed, the stalled nip is actuated and the sheet is forwarded to a process station. When the sheet clears the eccentric drive nip the friction of the elastomeric drive roll against the eccentric idler causes the idler to rotate and drive the next sheet.

Abstract: A software-implemented bridging routine is provided for a full duplex audio telephone system comprising units A, B and C. of which only unit A need have at least two lines and be full duplex. Unit A receives and speaker-reproduces an audio signal B+C that echoes with a time delay dt 1  and is detected by unit A's microphone as a signal k b Bdt 1 +k c Cdt 1 , where k b  and k c  are co-efficients. Unit A's host software determines time dt 1  and generates a delay dt 2  ≈ dt 1 . Unit A's host processor sums its own microphone output with a signal generated by a non-destination unit that is delayed by time dt 2 . Thus, when communicating with unit B, unit A's software generates a host processor output signal A+k b Bdt 1 +k c Cdt 1 +Cdt 2 . The k b Bdt 1  echo component is removed by unit A's AEC, which is coupled between units A and B. This causes unit B to receive the signal A+Cdt 2 +k c Cdt 1  from unit A. Since dt 2  ≈ dt 1 , user B hears voice A summed with a slightly delayed voice C (e.g., Cdt 2 ) superimposed with an attenuated in-phase version of voice C (e.g., k c Cdt 1 ). User B thus hears user A's voice and user C's voice conversing naturally in a full duplex manner. Similarly, B hears user A and user C conversing, and user C hears user A and user B conversing. In this fashion, full-duplex operation is achieved without using hardware bridge circuitry.

Abstract: A draw zone on a draw frame or card has an open loop controller (10) with upstream sensing to adjust the draw ratio imposed on the sliver (20). The settings of delay and/or gain (R,K) are determined by measuring several values of a quality determining parameter, such as coefficient of thickness variation (CV), to obtain the functional relationship with delay or gain and optimising on the minimum values. These optimum values are determined in a prior test run and are left unchanged during production. Also claimed is a simplified method of adjusting delay (R) by storing upstream sliver measurements (do(n)). These are rewritten and read cyclically at the same location. The number of storage locations of a cycle between test runs is altered according to the delay distance (R).

Abstract: Between the ring-shaped surface on the outer and/or inner edge and the surface of the counter bearing a gap is formed. The ring-shaped surface of the slide bearing, on which the counter bearing locates, is convexly formed. The bearing embodies the feature whereby a reduction in the tendency to seize is achieved by reducing the contacting bearing surfaces. The new geometry involves the slide disc of ceramic, as used in previously known bearings, being maintained, and the alteration of the geometry of the carbon bearing. "Self adjustment" of the bearing surface under the effect of high axial forces is achieved by a 5 degree incline.
