Patent EP-0821872-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SOWELL LEE
IPC: A01G1/12
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A blower vacuum attachment for use with a multi-purpose
power tool (12) has a motor (14) for powering
the attachment on an elongated tubular boom (16)
extending between the attachment and the motor through
which a drive shaft (30) extends. The attachment
includes a tubular connector (58) for attaching a
blower housing (36) to the tubular boom (16). The
blower housing has an axial air inlet (60) and a
circumferential air outlet (56). An impeller (38)
oriented within the housing and driven by the drive
shaft draws air into the axial air inlet and discharges
air to the air outlet. An intake tube (40) is affixed
to the blower housing inlet and extends axially
therefrom. A debris collection bag (110) and a blower
tube (42) can be alternatively attached to the blower
housing air outlet (56) so that the blower vacuum
attachment could be used respectively as a vacuum or as
a blower. The blower tube has an air inlet (72) which
is removably attached to blow the air out and an air
outlet (76) which is oriented generally adjacent the
intake tube inlet for discharging air along a blower
outlet axis (46) which is spaced from and generally
parallel to the central axis (44) aligned with the
intake tube (40). The blower tube air outlet (76) is
sized relative to the intake tube air inlet so that the
air discharge velocity is substantially higher than the
air intake velocity enabling the attachment to be used
in the blower mode without removal of the intake tube
from the blower housing or changing the way the user
grasps the multi-purpose power tool.

Abstract: The belt winder consists of a housing containing a rotary drum on which a belt is wound. The drum has a series of peripheral teeth (1d) which engage with pivoting pawls (17) on the housing to lock it, while a control member on the housing has ramps to lift the pawls. The number of teeth on the drum is equal to or is a multiple of the number of pawls, so that the drum can be locked simultaneously by all the pawls at an angular pitch equal to 360 degrees divided by the number of teeth. Each pawl has a locking section (25) and a control section (26), with the control section offset axially relative to the locking section and interacting with a groove (21) in an adjacent ring (21) which is equipped with the pawl-lifting ramps (23).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to convert a voice
to a character string and output attribute data associated with
the character string. The central controller (14) of the data
processing apparatus (1) converts a voice entered from the voice
input unit (12) through the voice/character code conversion
processing (53) to a character string. Then, any date and time
part of the character string are detected through the date
detection processing (54) and the time detection processing
(55) and the detected date and time part are converted to
predetermined date and time words through the date conversion
processing (56) and the time conversion processing (57).
Finally, the converted date and time are associated to a voice
and a character string as attribute data through the monitor
controlling (60) and stored in the schedule memory (70) as
schedule data. Consequently, the date and time are associated
to a voice and a character string automatically. The current
date and time clocked by the clocking unit (13) are also used
as such attribute data, so that either of any detected date and
time part or the current date and time are selected and used.

Abstract: In a multistation intercommunication system human speech is processed on at least two respective levels of generic complexity. The speech is received in one or more origin stations in parallel and a necessity is detected to understand the speech in an associated application environment. Intercommunication is controlled in a distributed manner, by detecting temporal speech items to be recognized and dynamically assigning speech items amongst one or more of a plurality of distributed speech recognizing facilities to eventually generate recognized items. Further intercommunication is controlled to understand recognized items in a further context of the application in question through assigning the recognized items amongst one or more of a plurality of speech understanding facilities to generate speech items that have been understood. Assigning is effected in a distributed manner as based on a combination of contingency and statistics.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des méthodes permettant d'effectuer une identification et une validation, éventuellement unidirectionnelles, ne pouvant pas faire l'objet d'une répudiation et sans suivi, méthodes dans le cadre desquelles les dispositifs d'identification n'exigent pas un accès à des bases de données relatives à une identification d'entités à distance. Une entité arbitre, caractérise, de préférence, un algorithme spécifique de chaque entité à distance et le diffuse. Un dispositif d'identification (ou un système d'exploitation d'un tel dispositif) attribue, de préférence, à chaque entité, un algorithme pouvant être inversé. Chaque fois qu'une entité à distance s'identifie elle-même auprès d'un dispositif d'identification, elle applique son algorithme généré par l'arbitre, soit à une variable à base temporelle (identification unidirectionnelle), soit à un procédé d'identification fourni par un dispositif d'identification, calculant un premier résultat. L'entité à distance applique ensuite l'algorithme pouvant être inversé au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, à ses données d'identification et au premier résultat établi, calculant un second résultat envoyé au dispositif d'identification. Celui-ci peut alors appliquer l'algorithme inverse au second résultat, calculant un procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, des données d'identification et un premier résultat supposés. Le dispositif d'identification peut alors comparer le procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle supposé. S'il y a concordance (avec une certaine marge de tolérance pour la variable à base temporelle), le dispositif d'identification transmet à l'arbitre, le premier résultat, les données d'identification et le procédé d'identification supposés. L'arbitre applique alors l'algorithme particulier attribué à cette entité à distance et l'applique au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, calculant, de ce fait, un premier résultat correct. L'arbitre peut ensuite comparer le premier résultat correct au premier résultat opposé. S'il y a concordance (avec une certaine marge de tolérance pour la variable à base temporelle), l'arbitre est à même de confirmer au dispositif d'identification l'authenticité de l'identification.

module (94) for purging the memory (64) of captured images when they are no longer

animation, which, in the preferred embodiment, is designed to convey the concept to
the user that a delete operation is irreversible. One implementation of the animation
shows the deleted page or group of pages turn into ashes, which is a metaphor for the
permanence of the delete operation. A confirmation prompt (162) is provided prior to
carrying out the delete operation to inform the user how many pages or images will be
deleted and what percentage of memory will be freed. In addition, the confirmation
prompt (162) allows further consideration by the user before the delete request is
fulfilled.
