Patent EP-0764950-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CALDERBANK ROBERT
IPC: G11B20/14
Filed: 1996-09-17
Abstract: Method and apparatus for encoding digital
information to be recorded on a magnetic medium is
disclosed. The invention provides for receiving a
sequence of (2 m n + d) user bits, mapping the sequence of
user bits to 2 m  dc-free codewords, and recording the 2 m 
dc-free codewords on a magnetic medium. A modulation
coder, which includes a memory containing multiple non-intersecting
subconstellations of dc-free codewords,
performs the mapping in a non-equiprobable manner such
that a particular codeword from a larger subconstellation
is more likely to be used than a particular codeword from
a smaller constellation. Less desirable codewords, such
as those containing relatively long strings of bits
having the same value, are assigned to the smaller
subconstellations, thereby lessening the likelihood of
loss of timing and gain parameters in the system, as well
as maximizing the transmission rate and efficient use of
the set of possible dc-free sequences of a given length.

Abstract: Retail till rolls of different sizes and pre-printed with
advertising vouchers specific to a particular region in
which the end user is located are produced. An image
processor (31) creates a cell column (38) with a cell
associated with each image which is scanned at a scanner
(32). When an image is scanned and processed, a positive
flag is inserted in the associated cell and this flag is
captured by a production controller (40) to update an
array (45) to indicate production status. Each cell
column (38) forms the basis for production of an image
cycle, an image cycle being the unit of printing which is
repeated along the length of a web before spooling.
However, the image cycle may include additional images
duplicated after reduction of scale to that of the minimum
roll width to achieve a minimum image cycle length. The
printing plate which is produced has image cycles in side-by-side
relationship in which there is a set for each
image cycle. A set may be one width across the printing
plate if the minimum production unit is to be produced.
When the web is printed it is drawn onto a take-up reel,
which is in turn spooled by applying a colour coding to
the web coordinated with the cutting locations whereby
each individual spool may be identified according to size
and category after spooling.

Abstract: To overcome the problem of poor representation of the background
noise, the present invention includes a noise parameter generator
(40) which uses a weighted average of auto-correlation values of
the input signal generated during the noise-analysis phase. The
weighting function gives less weight to the auto-correlations
during the first few frames (as they may contain speech) and more
weight to frames towards the end of this phase. Also included, to
overcome the bursty nature of comfort noise, is a comfort noise
generator (50) which gradually changes the nature of the signal
from speech to pseudo-random noise after the speech-burst. The
comfort noise generator (50) of the present invention excites the
auto-regressive filter corresponding to the noise model with a
weighted combination of the past excitation and pseudo-random
noise.

Abstract: A gain equalizer which equalizes gain versus wavelength
characteristics of an optical amplifier. The gain versus
wavelength characteristics of the optical amplifier include
first, second and third gain peaks in a wavelength band with the
second gain peak being between the first and third gain peaks.
The optical amplifier amplifies an input signal in accordance
with the gain versus wavelength characteristics to produce an
output signal. The gain equalizer includes first, second and
third optical filters having first, second and third transparency
characteristics, respectively. The first, second and third
transparency characteristics are periodic waveforms having
different periods related to the wavelength difference between
the first and third gain peaks. The second transparency
characteristic is a periodic waveform having a period equal to
1/(2 n ) of the period of the waveform of the first transparency
characteristic. The third transparency characteristic is a
periodic waveform having a period equal to 1/4 of the period of
the waveform of the first transparency characteristic. For
example, the first transparency characteristic is a periodic
waveform with 1/4 period extending between the first and third
gain peaks, the second transparency characteristic is a periodic
waveform with one period extending between the first and third
gain peaks, and the third transparency characteristic is a
periodic waveform with two periods extending between the first
and third gain peaks.

Abstract: A ring oscillator having an even number of differential amplifier stages
is disclosed wherein each stage includes a differential amplifier using two N-channel
MOSFETs (203, 204) whose gates serve as the inputs (I 1 , I 2 ) and whose drains serve
as the outputs (0 1 , 0 2 ) of the stage. The sources of the two MOSFETs are connected
together and to a current sink consisting of a cascoded structure of N-channel
MOSFETs (205, 206). The drains of each of the two N-channel MOSFETs serving
as the differential amplifier are each connected to a respective current source
provided by a P-channel MOSFET (201, 202). All of the current sinks in the stages
are connected as secondary legs of a first current mirror which establishes a current
of I in the sinks. All of the current sources are connected as secondary legs of a
second current mirror which attempts to establish a current of (1+∝)I/2 in each of
the sources, where ∝ is a number greater than zero. Since an average current of only
I/2 can be drawn from each of the current sources, the voltage drop across each
current source is reduced, thereby limiting the range of the average common mode
output voltage for each stage of the oscillator.

portion (2b), and the second antenna element (3; 6) is connected to the cylindrical
coil conductor by a fixed connection at a junction (2c) lying between the first and
second portions. The second antenna element may for example be a conductive
filament (5a), a conductive pattern (5) formed on the surface of an insulating plate
(3) or a small-diameter helical antenna (6). The first operating frequency is
dependent upon the combined electrical length of the portions of the first antenna
element and the second operating frequency is dependent upon the combined
electrical length of the lower part of the first antenna element and the second
antenna element. The bandwidth of the operating frequencies is dependent upon
the positioning of the junction in the first antenna element.

Abstract: Automatic device segmentation and port-to-segment distribution is provided
in an electronic network. During a power-on sequence, the hardware and
software of a network device determines if there is sufficient reason to
segment a hub using such methods as polling the current setting of manually
operable switches mounted on the hub; identifying the existence or
connection of certain components to or on the network device (hardware or
software); identifying any activity on certain device ports; performing a
through negotiation via information sent on the network connection itself;
and performing a through negotiation via information sent on an external
connection (non-network connection) or similar means, all where sufficient
reason to segment a hub includes such circumstances as, for example
where there is more than one server; heavy client-to-client communications;
the existence of an intemal bridge, switch, router, or other network bridging
device; and the existence of multiple connections to an extemal switch,
router, or other network bridging device. Once a determination is made that
there is a need for segmentation, hub's the ports are divided into different
segments by such approaches as a predetermined port assignment (port 1
segment 1, port 2 segment 2,....); assigning ports to a different segment by
cycling through the number of segments available as the ports become
active; randomly assigning ports to the available segments; and using a
negotiating mechanism to determine which ports go on which segments,
where this latter approach may be based on such factors as the MAC
address, the IP address, a virtual LAN identifier, any packet sent on the
network, the existence of a manually operable switch, a cable determined
by unique cable groups, or external means (wire or other signal).

Abstract: Precision of detecting existence/non-existence of
a liquid container (7) and a liquid level in the container (7)
is improved even if the detection is performed by a
single sensor (16), or even if the S/N ratio of the detection
is low, the detected results can be discriminated from
one another. For this, a concave polyhedron is provided
in the center of the bottom surface of an optical prism (180)
in order to reduce the amount of light reflected on the
bottom surface of the optical prism (180) and returned to a
photoreceptor (16). Moreover, a reflection curved surface
having a quadratic surface e.g. spherical surface or
paraboloid, is provided on the bottom surface of an ink
tank, for reflecting light emitted by an optical unit
consisting of a light emission device and a
photoreceptor. By virtue of this, even in a case where
an arrangement angle or position of the optical unit is
deviated to some extent, sufficient amount of light for
the photoreceptor can be received, making it possible to
accurately detect existence/non-existence of ink and/or
existence/non-existence of an ink tank.

Abstract: An ultraviolet irradiation device of the optical path division type for treating a
workpiece which is often subject to deformations and color changes due to heat, and in
which the distribution of irradiance is good and the average irradiance on the surface
irradiated with light can be increased is achieved by the light emitted by a rod-shaped lamp (1)
and reflected by a trough-shaped cold mirror (2) being incident in first cold mirrors (5,5') which split the
optical path. This light is thus divided into two parts and is incident in total reflection
mirrors (4,4'). On the other hand, the direct light emitted by the rod-shaped lamp (1) is incident in
second optical path splitting cold mirrors (6,6') which divides this light and causes it to be
incident in the total reflection mirrors (4,4'). The light reflected by the total reflection mirrors (4,4') is
incident in heat reflection filters (3,3'), and is transmitted by the heat reflection filters (3,3') so as to be
radiated onto a workpiece (W). On the workpiece (W) the light divided into two parts is radiated
such that the two beams of light come to lie partially superimposed one on the other. This
improves the irradiance distribution. Furthermore, instead of the second optical path
splitting mirrors, light shielding components (53) can also be used.

Abstract: For leak testing closed containers, such containers are placed
into a sealingly closed test cavity. From the inside of the
container to a space between the outer surface of the container
and the wall of the test cavity, a pressure difference
is applied which would lead to bowing outwards of flexible
wall portions of the container. This is prevented by
projections (133) at the wall of the test cavity which
supports such wall portions of the container. Recesses (132)
between the projections (133) make sure that the installed
pressure in the space between outer surface of container and
test cavity wall is dissipated all around the container in
spite of the projection (133).
