Abstract: A sensor for the seat of a motor vehicle includes a compressible,
preferably foam layer disposed between two conductive sheets. In one
embodiment, the capacitance between the conductive sheets is measured to
determine what and whether an object is disposed on the sensor, while in
another application, apertures are formed through the compressible layer to
allow the conductive sheets to contact one another through the apertures.
Embodiments having relatively low resistivity to produce a short circuit,
and an embodiment having higher resistivity in which the magnitude of the
change and resistance may be used to determine the nature of an object are
described.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a first image
bearing member (1) and an intermediate transfer member (20) onto
which a toner image formed on the first image bearing
member (1) is primarily transferred and through which the
toner image thus transferred is secondarily transferred
onto a second image bearing member (P). The intermediate
transfer member (18,20) has a surface layer (22) on a base layer (21).
The surface layer (22) contains a polyurethane resin
obtained by the reaction of an olefinpolyol with an
isocyanate. 
     The image forming apparatus using such an
intermediate transfer member is superior in durability
and has the good properties of cleaning, thus providing
good images for a long time.

Abstract: A device for removing debris (272) from a pit 35 containing water (271) comprises a track (277) which extends from below the surface of the water upwardly to an end located above a receptacle (37) into which the debris is to be placed. A scoop mechanism (273) runs along the track (277) and can be hauled from a first position located adjacent the bottom of the track to a second position adjacent the top of the track by a cable (284). The scoop mechanism includes a scoop (278) hingedly mounted on a trolley. The angular position of the scoop relative to the trolley is controlled by an actuator (306) in use, the scoop mechanism is lowered until the scoop (278) and the lower part of the trolley are immersed in the water in the pit. The upper end of the trolley remains above the level of the water. The scoop (278) is then rotated to the position shown in outline in Figure 18 so as to pick up debris (272) from the pit. The scoop mechanism is then hauled up the track by the cable (284) until the scoop is located above the container (37), whereupon the scoop is rotated back to the position shown in solid line in Figure 18 to release the debris into the container (37). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an electronic musical apparatus having an acoustic
instrument manually operable to commence an acoustic
vibration and a tone generator responsive to the acoustic
vibration to generate a musical tone having a pitch
corresponding to that of the acoustic vibration, a pitch
detecting device utilizes a pickup (3) for picking up the acoustic
vibration to convert the same into a waveform signal.
Further, a first detector (13) operates according to a fast
algorithm for processing the waveform signal so as to
responsively produce a first output representative of the pitch
of the acoustic vibration, and a second detector (12) operates in
parallel to the first detector (13) for processing the same waveform
signal according to a slow algorithm so as to stably produce a
second output representative of the pitch of the acoustic
vibration. A selector (17) selectively feeds one of the first output
and the second output to the tone generator so that the first
detector (13) and the second detector (12) can cooperate
complementarily with each other to ensure responsive and
stable detection of the pitch of the acoustic vibration. An
additional detector (15) processes the waveform signal to measure
a time interval between a pair of the peaks so as to detect a
plucking point. A controller (21) controls the tone generator
according to the detected plucking point to change the timbre
of the tone generator in response to the plucking point.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing convergence time in a digital filter. When
the digital filter is initially run, the coefficients in the digital filter are adjusted to reduce
error in the output of the digital filter. When the adjusted coefficients meet a selected
error level, these coefficients are stored in a memory and the digital filter filters data. The
next time the digital filter is run, the stored coefficients are loaded into the digital filter
and a number of iterations are run in which the coefficients are adjusted. Then, a
determination is made as to whether the error level meets a threshold that may be the
same as the selected error level. If the coefficients meet the threshold, the coefficients are
stored in the memory and the filter is then used to filter data. A number of sets of
coefficients may be stored in the memory and a set of coefficients unable to meet the
threshold is replaced with another set of coefficients until the threshold is met or untested
sets of coefficients are no longer present in the memory. At that time, a default set of
coefficients may be used.
