Patent EP-1705923-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUZAWA AKIRA
IPC: H04N19/196
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: An image sensing element for providing a series of voltage signals corresponding to a two-dimensional image, a two-dimensional analog DCT (discrete cosine transform) circuit for performing a two-dimensional DCT on the voltage signal series from the image sensing element in pixel blocks, and a quantization circuit for quantizing a result of the DCT are provided. The two-dimensional analog DCT circuit is formed of a row of analog sum-of-products arithmetic units for one-dimensional DCT and an analog memory array for matrix transposition. The quantization circuit converts a voltage representing a result of the DCT carried out by the two-dimensional analog DCT circuit into a digital value according to a given quantization coefficient Q = 2 N · S (1 ≤ S < 2) wherein a voltage S·Vref that is S times greater than a fixed voltage Vref serves as a reference voltage, and performs a process of right-shifting the digital value N bits in order to provide a quantized digital value.

Abstract: To provide an electronic accordion with which an operating feeling can be obtained that closely resembles the operation of the bellows of an acoustic accordion. In the processing of S22 and S24, following the setting of the opening number, the degree of opening is made the value in which the opening number is multiplied by the opening percentage (S25). The opening percentage is the degree of opening that corresponds to the air pressure for each opening number and is stored in a table and the like that corresponds to the air pressure. Next, a determination is made as to whether or not the degree of opening that has been obtained in this manner is greater than 100 (S26) and in those cases where the degree of opening is greater than 100 (S26: yes), the degree of opening is made 100 (S27). In those cases where the degree of opering is not greater than 100 (S26: no) or following the processing of S27, the key degree of opening is set in conformance with the value of the degree of opening and the pressure degree of opening is set to the key degree of opening (S28).

Abstract: Combined LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) encoder and syndrome checker. A novel approach is presented by which the encoding processing and at least a portion of the decoding processing of an LDPC coded signal can be performed using a shared circuitry. The LDPC encoding processing and syndrome calculation operations (in accordance with the LDPC decoding processing) can be performed using a common circuitry having a portion of which whose connectivity is only slightly modified depending on whether encoding or decoding is being performed. To effectuate this selection (between encoding and decoding), any of a variety of means can be employed including the use of multiplexers that are operable to select a first connectivity (for encoding) and a second connectivity (for decoding). This can result in a hardware savings of space, cost, and complexity since a shared circuitry can perform both encoding and at least part of the decoding processing.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer (P2P) probing/network quality of service (QoS) analysis system utilizes a UDP-based probing tool for determining latency, bandwidth, and packet loss ratio between peers in a network. The probing tool enables network QoS probing between peers that connect through a network address translator. The list of peers to probe is provided by a connection server based on prior probe results and an estimate of the network condition. The list includes those peers which are predicted to have the best QoS with the requesting peer. Once the list is obtained, the requesting peer probes the actual QoS to each peer on the list, and returns these results to the connection server. P2P probing in parallel using a modified packet-pair scheme is utilized. If anomalous results are obtained, a hop-by-hop probing scheme is utilized to determine the QoS of each link. In such a scheme, differential destination measurement is utilized.

Abstract: The invention disclosed includes a method for determining the magnitude and phase calibration of dynamic motion sensors (SUTs), such as accelerometers, velocimeters, and dynamically responding displacement transducers at low vibration frequencies, using an optical encoder as the reference. To calibrate the sensitivity, the dynamic motion sensor is mounted to a shaker mechanism which imparts harmonic linear motion in the axis of the sensitivity of the sensor, In the case of an accelerometer, the mechanism commonly includes another accelerometer as a reference sensor. However, the output of conventional preference accelerometers becomes inadequate at low frequencies. The subject of this patent is an optical encoder to measure the displacement, at frequencies at which the optical measurement is more accurate than that of an accelerometer or other dynamic motion sensor.
