Abstract: A sound collecting system and a sound reproducing apparatus by means of which an actual audio image can be reproduced. The sound collecting system includes a plurality of microphones (11, 12) for producing sound signals and a plurality of position detecting apparatus (21, 22) for detecting locations of the microphones (11, 12) and/or positions of sound sources (1, 3) to produce position signals. The sound signals and the position signals are multiplexed by a plurality of multiplexers (31, 32), and the multiplexed signals are stored into respective audio channels or different channels by a signal recording apparatus (40). The multiplexing may be performed by a frequency multiplexing method, a time division multiplexing method or the like. Since also position information is stored into corresponding audio channels together with acoustic sound signals, at the reproducing stage, reproduction is possible taking the positions into consideration and an actual audio image can be produced. Also dimensions, directivities and so forth of the sound sources can be multiplexed in addition to the position information.

Abstract: After bit synchronization and frame synchronization are established in accordance with a transmission signal from a transmission office, reception RX is stopped until a reception timing assigned to a group of a portable radio unit comes. A receiving operation is performed again at the reception timing assigned to the group of the unit. If the ID code of the received signal coincides with the ID of the unit, an informing operation is performed. At the same time, transmission TX is performed. A transmitting operation is performed during a transmission signal stop period TXOF upon completion of transmission of data corresponding to all the eight groups. The transmission timing of the portable radio unit is based on the fact that frame synchronization is established in the reception RX, so that transmission TX is performed at a timing assigned to the group of the unit in the reception RX. The above-described timings prevent the transmission office and the portable radio unit from performing simultaneous transmission.

Abstract: In a multi-system data sharing complex 10, 12, 13, a database system can write updated pages to a shared electronic store 16, for a fast write. Other database systems can obtain pages written to the shared store for further modification without the pages first being written to stable storage 14, 15. However, pages are eventually written to the stable storage in a castout process. Recovery of a database from failure of the shared store is bounded by determination of a recovery boundary which, when applied to the union of database system transaction logs, establishes a point in front of which are found log records of modifications to pages which were in the shared store when it failed. These log records are applied to page versions obtained from stable storage to recover from failure of the shared store.

Abstract: A method of producing a light beam having a wavelength spectrum with characteristics of an absorption spectrum of a molecular species or mixture of molecular species of interest comprises the illumination of a spectrospecific diffractive element (10) with a broad-band optical source (42) to diffract light of wavelengths absorbed by the molecular species. In one embodiment the diffractive element is composed of twentyfour elements or cells (16,17) arranged as parallel tubes constructed from a material substantially transparent to radiation in the wavelength region of interest and filled with a fluid or gas. When the gas (18) filling cells (16) is methane, CH₄, and that (19) filling cells (17) is methane-free air, the embodiment acts as an efficient twelve-element diffraction grating for wavelengths in resonance with the vibrator rotation transitions of methane. The resulting diffracted beam is selected from an appropriate portion of the far-field radiation pattern.

Abstract: In the infrared sensor, the radiation incident through input optics (3) is chopped with the aid of a chopper disc (5) and directed via collecting optics (8) to an infrared detector (12) which thus detects the radiation passing the "right-hand" and "left-hand" edge of the chopper disc (5). The deviation of an axis of the earth satellite from the nominal alignment with the earth can be corrected by demodulating the output signal of the infrared detector in an evaluating circuit. This nominal alignment usually points towards the centre of the earth. To eliminate the interference signals caused by the self-radiation of the infrared sensor, it is proposed to provide adjusting devices (16, 17) for shifting the collecting optics (8) and the infrared detector (12) in parallel with the plane of the chopper disc (5). In addition, diaphragms (6) are provided which determine the input aperture of the collecting optics (8), their diaphragm opening (7) being selected in such a manner that the differences of the radiation passing the left-hand and right-hand edge are compensated for in an ideal alignment of the infrared sensor. The diaphragm openings are preferably trapezoidal. In addition, an adjusting device (18) is provided by means of which the diaphragms can be shifted perpendicularly to the parallel sides of the trapezoid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ignition and engine control system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes a flyback ignition transformer which can rapidly re-fired a spark plug during a combustion cycle to perform various ignition diagnostic procedures using the spark plug as a feedback element of the control system. The transformer is adapted for mounting directly to a spark plug and includes a core about which a primary and secondary are toroidally wound. A controller provides signals to a circuit which causes maximum charging of the transformer for ignition and subsequent charging of the transformer for diagnostic purposes. The system also includes a diagnostic circuit which can detect the occurrence of an electrical discharge, and/or its duration, across the spark plug as a result of one of the diagnostic charges by monitoring the transformer for a reflected voltage in its primary. The detection circuit outputs a signal to the controller which allows the controller to diagnose conditions within the combustion cylinder.

Abstract: A method of quantizing pixels in an image formed by a plurality of pixels, each pixel representing an optical density of the image at a location therewith, and having an original optical density value selected from one of a set of 'c' original optical density values that has a number of members larger than a desired output set of 'd' optical density values, through a process of error diffusion. In this process, 'c' and 'd' are integer values representing pixel depth. For an input image so comprised, initially, an image signal is initially modified in accordance with previously determined error. Thereafter, during the quantization step of the process, the threshold (T i ) of an error diffusion process is dynamically adjusted in accordance with the original image to selectively control an amount of edge enhancement introduced into the image. The threshold level is selectively modified on a pixel by pixel basis and may be used to increase or decrease the edge enhancement of the output digital image, thus, more closely representing the original detail and edge sharpness of the continuous tone input image. The threshold of the error diffusion process is also varied responsive to the image that is output, by providing a feedback response (T H ) to the thresholding process, to vary the threshold level (T₀) to favor a determination of an output pixel having the same state as an adjacent pixel. Based on the dynamically varying threshold, an output pixel is determined, and the error or difference between the output and the modified image signal is determined. This error is added on a weighted basis to a predetermined group of neighboring image signals, in accordance with the image signal modification initially described.
