Inventor: YOKOYAMA EIJI
IPC: G11B5/588
Filed: 1992-04-21
Abstract: In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus having a solenoid-driven actuator to move a magnetic head in the tracking direction, a magnetic head position controller comprises: a state estimator for estimating the moving speed of the actuator from a drive voltage and a drive current supplied to the actuator; and a damping control loop for feeding back the estimated speed signal estimated by the state estimator to the actuator drive voltage. 
     The state estimator is formed of a combination of equivalent circuits that electrically simulate modeled characteristics of the solenoid-driven actuator, and the state estimator takes in the drive voltage and the drive current for the actuator and produces the estimated speed signal representing the speed of the actuator. 
     The state estimator includes equivalent circuits that electrically simulate a drive coil resistance and inductance characteristic of the solenoid-driven actuator, a force constant of the magnetic circuit, an inertia, a spring constant, and a counter electromotive force.

Abstract: An optical recording and reproducing apparatus uses a laser to form one or more spots on an information recording medium preformatted with wobbling guide grooves, and detects tracking error. If the differential push-pull method of detecting tracking error is used, a center spot is flanked by satellite spots distant by an odd multiple of half the repeating period of the wobble. If the three-beam method is used, the distance is an odd multiple of one-fourth the repeating period of the wobble. If the push-pull method is used, a split photodetector generates a pair of electrical signals. The sum and difference of these signals are filtered, then synchronously detected, and the result is combined with the difference signal to generate a corrected tracking error signal.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically controlling the horizontal scrolling of data contained in a stored table of arbitrary size in a windowing environment. The list of data to be scrolled through is stored in memory with certain columns designated as sticky. Responsive to input from the user, a process is invoked to either scroll left or right through data contained in the stored list. A "must display" column is determined based on the current display in the window and the direction of scrolling. The sticky columns that can fit with the "must display" column are determined and placed on the display. Sticky columns that cannot be placed on the display with the "must display" column due to window size limitations are temporarily suppressed. Additional non-sticky columns are placed on the display on a space-available basis including the placement of a partial column that fills the display.

Abstract: A tubular module is disclosed for use as a membrane device, comprising, a shell with fluid couplings removably affixed to each of its ends and at least one non-disassemblable cartridge operably held within the shell. The cartridge is constructed from plural wafers sequentially coaxially aligned, each wafer consisting essentially of a generally planar frame and an array of hollow fibers of selectively permeable material adhesively held by their ends in opposed portions of the border of the frame, without potting the ends. Several cartridges may be coaxially "ganged" to provide a "stack" with the required filtration area. The cartridges may be removably disposed in the shell, or secured therein so that the entire module may be discarded when its efficiency is unacceptably low. The wafers are adhesively secured to define a fluid-tight conduit with open ends through which a feedstream is flowed transversely over the fibers. The bores of the fibers are in open fluid communication with the permeate zone in the shell. A frame of a wafer may be provided with longitudinal, laterally spaced apart grooves in its upper surface and the fibers trained in the grooves. A cartridge may be made by precoating a first frame with adhesive, embedding the fibers in the adhesive, initially curing the adhesive and then placing a second frame over the partially cured adhesive ; and, repeating the steps. Alternatively, the second frame may be positioned over the embedded fibers on the first frame and the adhesive then cured. The arrays lie in a plane substantially orthogonal to the direction of flow of a feedstream to be treated, and fibers of one array are staggered relative to those in a successive array.

Abstract: Depletion layer depth and semiconductor real estate occupation area shortcomings of MOS capacitor architectures that are fanned on lightly doped semiconductor material are obviated by augmenting the MOS capacitor structure with a pair of opposite conductivity type, high impurity concentration regions, both of which are directly contiguous with the lightly doped lower plate layer that underlies the capacitor's dielectric layer, and connecting both of these auxiliary heavily doped regions to a common capacitor electrode terminal for the lower plate of the capacitor. If a high negative charge is applied to the upper plate overlying the thin dielectric layer, holes are readily supplied by the auxiliary P+ region. Conversely, if a high positive charge be applied to the upper plate, electrons are readily supplied by the auxiliary N+ region. By connecting both the auxiliary N+ and p+ regions together, a deep depletion condition is prevented for either polarity of the applied voltage. An application of the MOS capacitor structure is its use in a single event upset immune memory cell formed on an insulating substrata.

Abstract: Encoded video sequences are processed prior to complete decoding. Scene changes are readily detected using DCT coefficients in JPEG and MPEG encoded video sequences. Within each 8x8 block, the distribution of the DCT coefficients is used to classify the block as either type O (contains no high frequency components) or type 1 (contains high frequency components) The changes in the distributions of O's and 1's from one frame to next is captured using eigenvectors and used to represent scene changes. The frames in between two consecutive scene changes form a video shot. Video shots may be thought of as the building blocks of video sequences, and are used in browsing, database indexing, or any other operations that essentially form an abstraction of the video. To visualize each video shot, the contents are abstracted in a meaningful manner such that it is the representative of the contents of the shot; this is achieved using representative frames or Rframes.

IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 1995-10-24
Abstract: A variation in the cross-correlation between current received signals of different channels is extracted which corresponds to the cross-correlation between previous received signals, and the extracted variation is used as an adjustment vector to iteratively adjust the estimation of the impulse response of each echo path. Furthermore, by additionally providing a function of actively varying the cross-correlation between the received signals to such an extent as not to produce a jarring noise, it is possible to reconstruct acoustic signals by individual loudspeakers and utilize received signal added with the cross-correlation variation to obtain the adjustment vector for an estimated echo path vector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A full-screen still-image of text-broadcast information is converted into a scrollable page that is then superimposed and scrolled on the current TV picture on the display screen, thereby enabling a user to view a correct and complete information while enjoying the TV program. An input control portion 1 extracts text-broadcast information superimposed upon unused lines in an ordinary TV video signal transmitted during a vertical blanking period and generates an interrupt to a CPU processing unit 2 which in turn converts coordinates of the received character data into addresses in a presentable image conversion table 7b. CPU2 selects a suitable display area through a display control portion 6 and scrollably displays the image thereon through a scroll display control portion 2a according to the prepared conversion table. This method can prevent the scrolling image from overlapping another subtitle on the TV picture and improve the visibility of the information.
