Patent EP-1054335-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GROSSI BRIAN J
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: Physical or electronic objects are encoded with identifiers, which serve to trigger object-appropriate
responses from computer systems that encounter such objects. The encoding may be
steganographic (e.g., by digital watermarks), so the presence of such identifiers is not evident to persons
encountering the objects. An exemplary application is a computer system that looks at a printed
magazine advertisement and initiates a link to a corresponding internet page. In one such
implementation, the computer system senses an identifier encoded in the advertisement, forwards the
identifier to a remote database, receives from the database a corresponding internet address, and directs a
browser to that address. The same arrangement can be used for on-line ordering from printed
merchandise catalogs. Another application is a computer system that looks at a printed spreadsheet, and
retrieves from disk storage an electronic version of the same document for editing. In one such
implementation, the computer system senses an identifier encoded in the printed spreadsheet, checks the
identifier against a local index of documents stored on the computer, and recalls the corresponding
document for editing. A variety of other applications, and associated methods and apparatuses, are also
disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical control unit ECU controls a shift thrust Ft applied
to a variable width drive pulley 11 through a control valve CV and makes the
rotational speed Ne of the engine follow a target engine rotational speed Neo to
vary the speed change ratio of a continuously variable transmission CVT. In
this control, the shift thrust Ft is achieved as sum of a proportional term P and
an integral term I, where the proportional term P is determined on the basis of
the deviation DNe of the engine rotational speed Ne from the target engine
rotational speed Neo, and the integral term I is determined as cumulative sum
of the deviation. When the throttle of the engine is closed, the integral term is
set larger than when the throttle is open.

Abstract: A utility program continuously monitors a data acquisition
section into which an auxiliary recording medium is removably
inserted, thus detecting an auxiliary recording medium connected
to the data acquisition section (S10 to S40). When the auxiliary
recording medium is inserted into the data acquisition section,
the utility program identifies an identifier of a data file recorded
in the auxiliary recording medium (S50 and S60). The utility
program starts an application program which has been related to
the identifier beforehand (S70 and S80). Therefore, no complicated
operations are required until the time an application program for
processing a data file recorded on an auxiliary recording medium
is started.

Abstract: The method involves using magnetic field current sensors (M0-Mn) with linear responses, which are arranged in different, separate branches (2,5) that meet in a common node (K). One current sensor is a master sensor, which is precalibrated, and the other sensors are uncalibrated sensors of simpler construction. Several sets (S0(ti)-Sn(ti)) of measurement values form all of the sensors is read into a microprocessor at successive time intervals. The number of sets of measurement values must exceed the number of sensors. The measurement sets are arranged in a first matrix for solution by linear equation systems. The first matrix is also used to difference the values for two different times, t, and t', according to the equation: (S0(t') - S0(t))/E0 = The sum over all i from i=1-i=n of ((Si(t') - Si(t))/Ei), where E is the sensor sensitivity. A second matrix is obtained to solve the linear equation system, with which the offsets of the current sensors are eliminated. The sensitivities of the simpler sensors are calculated and are used to solve the equation (S0(t) -  OMEGA 0)/E0 = The sum over all i from i=1-i=n of ((Si(t) -  OMEGA i)/Ei), where  OMEGA  is the offset. The determined sensitivities and offsets of the currents in the current branches is finally calculated and output.

Abstract: For optimum videotex data coding, for error-free
functioning of so-called descramblers and - not least -
for the impression of improved detail resolution on the
screen of a television set of displayed pictures, it is
known to process the video frequency response by
influencing the higher frequency components in the video
signal spectrum. The object of the invention is, in
television sets, to simplify processing of the video
frequency response by means of tuner tuning. 
     According to the invention, in particular in the
case of set programme location allocations to be carried
out by the customer for each television channel,
adaptation to a video frequency response sought is in
each case carried out automatically by means of
corresponding shifting of the vision carrier relative to
the IF total transmission curve. The respective
adaptation for the relevant television channel of the set
is effected, in principle, by the addition of a
corresponding correction value (U corr. ) to the
corresponding channel tuning voltage (U tun. ) of the tuner
(2).

Abstract: A speech coding device capable of delivering a
speech signal of excellent sound quality at a low bit
rate is disclosed. The disclosed device is characterized
by a method of calculating lag corresponding to
pitch period and a speech signal coding method. Lag is
calculated as follows: A speech signal is divided into
frames; one- frame is divided into a plurality of
subframes; for each frame, subframes in which lag of a
speech signal is expressed in the form of a differential
relative to lag of a previous subframe and
subframes in which lag is expressed in the form of an
absolute value, i.e., the lag value itself, are established;
a plurality of bit allocation patterns are
established for each frame that allocate bits for
expressing lag as an absolute value or a differential
in each of the plurality of subframes; for each bit
allocation pattern, pitch predictive distortion is
calculated for every subframe; accumulated distortion
is calculated by accumulating the pitch predictive
distortion over a predetermined plurality of subframes
in the frame; a bit allocation pattern is selected so
as to minimize the accumulated distortion. The lags in
the subframes of the selected pattern are determined as
the lags in the subframes of interest.

Abstract: A medical apparatus for (radiation) diagnosis or therapy can be provided with moving parts (6). Such an apparatus must be provided with a collision detection device (26, 28, 30). A known collision sensor measures the supply current for the drive motor and hence induces a high degree of inaccuracy in the collision detection. According to the invention the force applied to the moving part (image intensifier 6) is measured directly on the relevant part so as to be compared with an expected value, an alarm signal being generated when a threshold value for the difference is exceeded. The expected value is calculated while taking into account all movement and acceleration parameters of the apparatus. The expected values can be calculated in advance and stored in a look-up table or can be calculated, preferably while using a model of the apparatus, during operation of the apparatus.
