Abstract: To provide a battery charger capable of enhancing water resistance. 
     An inner case 216 is mounted on a grounding member 220 which is larger than a bottom portion 230 of the inner case 216. Drain holes 232 are provided in the bottom portion 230 of the inner case 216, and drain holes 242 and 250 are provided in a bottom portion 240 of the grounding member 220. These drain holes 232, 242, 250 are positioned in such a manner as to be shifted from each other, to form a labyrinth structure. Grounding legs 244, each spreading sideward and projecting donward from the bottom portion 240, are formed at four corners of the grounding member 220. The grounding legs 244 lift upward the bottom portion 240 from a ground 246 by a height H for preventing the drain holes 242, 250 from being blocked by the ground 246, thus enabling water to be easily discharged. Also, since the grounding width of the grounding member 220 is larger than the width of the bottom portion 230 of the inner case 216, the battery charger is difficult to be fallen.

Abstract: A process for the metalization of substrates is disclosed. The metal either forms a coating over the entire substrate, or it is patternwise deposited on the substrate surface. Metal is patternwise formed on the substrate either by forming a pattern of resist material on the substrate and depositing the material in the interstices defined by the pattern or by forming a patterned resist layer over a metal layer and transferring the pattern into the substrate using conventional techniques. The patterned resist layer is formed on the substrate using conventional techniques. The substrate is treated with reagents that promote the electroless plating of metal on the substrate surface. If the resist material has been previously formed on the substrate surface, the substrate surface is then dried. The remaining resist is then removed from the substrate surface. The substrate surface is then exposed to an electroless plating bath to form nickel onto those portions of the substrate surface that were treated with the sensitizing and activating solutions. The substrate is then heated to at least 180°C. Additional layers of metal are formed on the substrate. After the additional layers are so formed, the substrate is again heated to a temperature of at least about 180°C after each layer is so formed.

Abstract: A data compression and decompression procedure for a serial printer handles data from a print swath (30) that includes Y rows of pixel data. The procedure divides the print swath (30) into N microbands (32, 34, 36...) of pixel data, with each microband (30) including y rows of pixel data (where y x N ≥ Y). The procedure compresses each microband (30) of the pixel data by breaking up the microband (30) into microblocks (38) and comparing data in each microblock (38) with a seed value to arrive at a compressed microblock (54) based upon data differences from the seed value. Each microblock (38) comprises a block of pixel data that is m bits wide by y rows high, where m is a small fraction of M bits of pixel data that are printable by the printhead across a sheet. All microbands (32, 34, 36...) of a swath (30) are subjected to the data compression procedure so as to create positionally corresponding sets of compressed data microblocks (54) for all of the microbands (32, 34, 36...). In preparation for printing, the procedure decompresses all N microbands (32, 34, 36...) of raster data by acting on each set of compressed microblocks (54) to recreate a set of N microbands (32, 34, 36...) of decompressed pixel data. The procedure then feeds the N microbands (32, 34, 36...) of decompressed raster data, in parallel, to the printhead (10, 12, 14, 16).

Abstract: The use of a control circuit (160) with either a
programmable divider or divider(s) (190) and multiplexer
(200) guarantees that, irrespective of the process
variations, a voltage controlled oscillator has a low
gain Vin-Fout characteristic in the desired frequency
range. Low-gain voltage controlled oscillators are
fundamental building blocks of low-jitter phase-locked
loop (PLL) systems. The programmable divider/divider(s)
(190) and multiplexer (200) are placed at an output of a
current controlled oscillator(s) (180). A control
circuit (160) defines the optimum current range(s) in the
current controlled oscillator(s) (180). In the case of
when a programmable divider is used, the control circuit
(160) keeps changing the division ratio of the
programmable divider until the PLL eventually achieves
the "locked" state. When divider(s) and a multiplexer
(200) are used, the control circuit (160) keeps changing
the selected multiplexer input until the "locked" state
has been achieved. Only one current controlled
oscillator is achieve at any one time. This control
circuit could be for example an auto-lock circuit.

Abstract: A method for matching an input pattern with a number of stored reference patterns using a dynamic programming matching technique is described. The reference patterns of a reference signal which are at the end of a dynamic programming path for a current input pattern are listed in an active list 201. The dynamic programming paths are propagated by processing the reference patterns on the active list, and a new active list 205 is generated for the succeeding input pattern. The amount of processing required for each pattern on the active list is reduced by using a pointer which identifies the reference pattern which is the earliest in the sequence of patterns of the current reference signal listed on the new active list during the processing of a preceding dynamic programming path. In a second aspect, a speech recognition interface is used as a control system for a telephony system.
