Abstract: A method for recognition of a handwritten pattern comprises the steps of forming ( 4 ) a representation of the handwritten pattern, forming ( 6 ) at least two subconfigurations by dividing the representation of the handwritten pattern, and processing the subconfigurations. The step of processing comprises the steps of comparing ( 8 ) each subconfiguration with reference configurations, selecting ( 10 ) at least one subconfiguration candidate for each subconfiguration among the reference configurations based on said step of comparing, and determining ( 12 ) at least one candidate pattern consisting of one selected subconfiguration candidate for each subconfiguration. The method further comprises the steps of comparing ( 14 ) the representation of the handwritten pattern to the candidate pattern, and computing ( 16 ) a cost function in order to find a closest matching candidate pattern. The cost function is based on the comparing of the representation of the handwritten pattern to the candidate pattern and on the comparing of the subconfigurations to the selected subconfiguration candidates in the candidate pattern.

Abstract: A Y/C separator improving characteristics of dot crawl
elimination and cross-color interference elimination even
at a sampling frequency unequal to an integer multiple of
a color subcarrier frequency of an NTSC television signal.
A received composite color television signal is quantized
by a clock signal with a frequency synchronized to the
horizontal sync signal of an input signal. Chrominance
component values are extracted in various directions of
a target sample by using neighboring samples of the target
sample. The chrominance component is obtained by
selecting and outputting the extracted chrominance
component values in accordance with correlation values
of the corresponding samples from which the color component
is removed. The calculation of the chrominance component
extraction value is carried out by detecting the phase
rotation angle of the color subcarrier signal per clock
near the target sample, and in response to the detected
value.

Abstract: A system for anchoring an angioplasty catheter to a stenosis in the vasculature of a patient includes an elongated inflatable balloon that can be selectively moved between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration. Optionally, the system can include a stent mounted on the balloon. The balloon defines an axis and has at least one elongated blade which is axially oriented on the surface of the balloon. Also this blade is conformed with at least one azimuthally oriented grip. When the balloon is moved into its inflated configuration, to thereby embed the blade and its grip into the stenosis and expand the stent for emplacement in the vasculature, the axially oriented blade prevents an azimuthal movement of the balloon and the azimuthally oriented grip prevents an axial movement of the balloon relative to the stenosis.

Abstract: It is an object to provide an ultrasonic flow measuring device which can accurately determine the
orientation and position of a ultrasonic transducer to be secured and enhance workability such as
reduction in working time. In order to attain the object, ultrasonic transducers (20) are fixed so as to
be spaced from each other at a regular interval by using a positioning portion (41) of a positioning
frame (40). The position adjustment of the ultrasonic transducers (20) is automatically carried out by
a positioning spring (25b) and the positioning portion (41). On the other hand, a guide frame (30)
can be mounted at a proper place of a conduit pipe (10) irrespective of the installation of the
ultrasonic transducers. For the mounting of the guide frame (30), it is unnecessary to pay attention
to an interval adjustment between the ultrasonic transducers and also it is unnecessary to coat
acoustic coupling medium on the conduit pipe, so that the selection of a setup place, etc. can be
freely performed. After rough assembly, required acoustic coupling medium is coated on the
ultrasonic transducers, and the positioning frame (40) is fixed to the guide frame (30), whereby the
regular orientation and position can be applied to the ultrasonic transducers.

Abstract: A system and method for encoding the speech of multiple speakers for transmission on a limited medium such as ISDN or ADSL. The system and method encode one or more "dominant" speakers on a first channel, and merges all other speakers into a second channel. A "dominant" speaker may be defined according to the needs of the application, but intuitively it is a speaker in a collaboration session who has the "floor". The method and system transmit speech through a teleconferencing system having an available bandwidth. Speech from a speaking one, or ones, of the plurality of participants is passed while speech from non-speaking participants is rejected. The system responds to the speech from the one, or ones of the speaking participants passed by the speech detector, and determines which of the detected speaking one, or ones, thereof is a dominant speaker. The system allocates one portion of the available bandwidth to the determined dominant speaker and merges the non-dominant participant(s) onto a second bandwidth portion of the available bandwidth.
