Abstract: The invention is for use with a visible medium (73, 373) capable of light reflection etc., and for use with a colour-image source (42, 342) that defines a desired colour. Here a device (72, 372, 85-96) for causing the medium to appear coloured includes a gray-scale subsystem (K;26,96K) to achromatically suppress a stated fraction of the reflection; and at least two device-primary subsystems (C, M and Y [and X]; 27-29, 96C-96Y) to cause selective reflection of light of two associated device-primary colours. Even if the device, as originally made, in effect uses the gray-scale subsystem to help construct colours, or the device-primary subsystems to help form gray-scale "values", such cross-dependency is essentially removed. A programmed processor (43-56, 343-356, 357) resolves the desired-rendition information into Fraction-Black ( K ), Fraction-Colourant ( N ,  N   1 , N   2 )and hue ( H ). 
     Fraction-Black ( K ) information is applied exclusively to control only the gray-scale subsystem (K); Fraction-Colourant ( N ) to control only the device-primary subsystem (CMY[X]), and hue ( H ) to select a dominant and a subordinate primary subsystem (C and/or M and/or Y [and/or X] and as between them apportion ( N   1 ,  N   2 ) the Fraction-Colourant ( N ).

Abstract: Emulsions containing liquid polymers are made by first condensing monomers in a polymerization reactor (10) having an inlet (20), a reaction chamber (30) having a lower portion and an outlet. The monomers are mixed with a condensation catalyst and a pressurized gas forms a foaming mixture. The foaming mixture is fed down the chamber (30) to the outlet while the monomers polymerize in the chamber. Water and a surfactant are then fed to the lower end of the chamber (70) to form a water-in-oil emulsion with the aid of the foaming action in the chamber. A shear device (54) then inverts the water-in-oil emulsion to an oil-in-water emulsion.

Abstract: A laminator for applying pre-printed labels (10) to a single face corrugated web (12) to form double face corrugated sheets utilizes a control system including accurate leading and trailing edge detection of the labels (10) to custom cut the corrugated web (12) to match the label length in a manner which assures complete and uniform coverage of the glued flute tips of the corrugated web by the labels. The labels are fed non-stop as a series of spaced sheets (10) into a laminating nip (11) to join the leading edge (31) of the travelling single face corrugated web (12). A positioning nip (33) upstream of the laminating nip (11) varies the speed of the incoming sheets (10) to accurately match sheet leading edge (33) to web leading edge (31). Detection of the sheet trailing edge (34) triggers operation of the web cut-off knife (20) to accurately match the corresponding cut trailing edge (40).

Abstract: An apparatus for routing interpolator input data (46) for a color
space conversion from a RGB color space to a CMYK color space includes a
selective two's complementer (45) coupled to a hardware interpolator (44). The
inputs to the selective two's complementer (45) include three sets of four lower
order bits, RL, GL, and BL of a twenty four bit RGB color space value and three
least significant bits of three sets of four higher order bits, RH, GH, and BH.
The inputs to the hardware interpolator (44) include three outputs from the
selective two's complementer (45) and eight inputs (a0-a7) for receiving
interpolator input data from eight memory banks (42a-42h). The interpolation
process can be regarded as determining a location within a cube of a cubic
lattice formed from vertices represented by the interpolator input data values.
The interpolator input data values are classified into one of eight classes based
upon the evenness and oddness of the components of the vector formed from
the three sets of higher order bits specifying the location of the corresponding
vertex within the cubic lattice. Each of the eight memory banks (42a-42h)
stores one of the eight classes of interpolator input data values. The eight
interpolator input data values corresponding to any cube within the cubic lattice
are stored in the eight memory banks (42a-42h). To perform the interpolation,
the eight interpolator input data values must be routed to computational blocks
within the interpolator (44) depending upon the evenness and oddness
classification of each of the three sets of higher order bits corresponding to the
interpolator input data value. By performing a two's complement on those sets
of lower order bits corresponding to those sets of higher order bits classified as
odd, the routing of the interpolator input data values is accomplished
mathematically in the corresponding computational blocks.

Abstract: A method for efficient coding of non-active voice periods is disclosed for a speech communication system with (a) a speech encoder 110, (b) a communication channel 150 and (c) a speech decoder 155. The method intermittently sends some information about the background noise when necessary in order to give a better quality of overall speech when non-active voice frames are detected. The coding efficiency of the non-active voice frames can achieved by coding the energy of the frame and its spectrum with as few as 15 bits. These bits are not automatically transmitted whenever there is a non-active voice detection. Rather, the bits are transmitted only when an appreciable change has been detected with respect to the last time a non-active voice frame was sent. To appreciate the benefits of the present invention, a good overall quality can be achieved at rate as low as 4 kb/s on the average during normal speech conversation.

Abstract: Audio packets are separated from an input stream of packets including audio packets and video packets. The audio packets relate to audio information. The video packets relate to video information. The video packets are separated from the input stream of packets. The separated audio packets are recorded on first tracks among an array of tracks on a recording medium. The first tracks are spaced by equal intervals corresponding to a given number of tracks. The separated video packets are recorded on second tracks among the array of tracks on the recording medium. The second tracks differ from the first tracks. The first tracks are scanned, and the audio packets are reproduced from the first tracks during high-speed playback. An output stream of packets is generated in response to the reproduced audio packets during the high-speed playback.

Abstract: A read-write magnetic head (12) includes a write transducer disposed side-by-side
with a read transducer on a substrate (4). The write transducer includes an inductive coil
sandwiched between first and second magnetic poles (28, 30). The read transducer
comprises a read sensor disposed between first and second magnetic shields (40, 42). The
first and second magnetic shields (40, 42) are electrically insulated from and substantially
coplanar with the first and second magnetic poles (28, 30), respectively. The number of
material layers in the magnetic head (12) is reduced as the first pole and the first shield can
be fabricated simultaneously. Likewise, the second pole and the second shield can be
fabricated simultaneously. With a reduced number of layers, the magnetic head (12) poses
less of a step coverage problem during manufacture. Moreover, the read transducer can
be fabricated prior to the inductive coil without subjecting the read transducer to the high
heat process required for the curing of photoresist which surrounds the coil. There are
also less thermal and magnetic interferences between the write and read transducers during
normal operations.
