Abstract: The vibrator 12 is driven by the output voltage V B  of
the power supply 14 using dry batteries or the like at the
starting of a paging announcement and is driven by the
constant voltage circuit having the output voltage V S  and
using the power supply 14 as its power source after the
starting. Detecting the paging announcement, the decoder 3
feeds the drive signal C1 to the vibrator controller 11,
and the vibrator controller 11 starts the vibrator by the
voltage V B  from the power supply 14. When a predetermined
time passes from the start, the decoder 3 sends out the
control signal C2 to the vibrator controller 11, and
switches the drive voltage for the vibrator to the output
voltage V S  from the constant voltage circuit 13. When the
paging announcement finishes the decoder 3 stops sending
out the drive signal C1, and the vibrator controller 11
stops the power supply to the vibrator 12.

Abstract: A telephone answering machine (104) and method of use utilizes speech
recognition (106) to identify a caller from a pre-defined list (111) of possible callers.
The list may be generated by various input techniques, including a spoken voice at
the called party's location, and keyboard or graphical input techniques. If the caller
is identified as being on the list (203), the machine allows the call to progress along a
first sequence, which includes ringing the called phone (204). If the called phone
does not answer (205), the first sequence may provide for responding with a
customized message (212) for the calling party. If the caller is not identified as
being on the list, the machine allows the call to progress along a second sequence,
which includes responding with a standard recorded message (207). In either case,
the caller is typically allowed to record a message for the called party (209).
Additional pre-defined lists may be provided, as for determining the context of a call.

Title: Method for matching a colour mixture
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: The reflection area of a colour tone of a coloured surface coating is determined with a Gonio spectral-photometer over the visible spectral region under variation of the measuring angle. From the measured reflection factors or radiance factors, the associated standard colour values and/or the vectors derived from it are calculated in CIE-LAB colour space. Subsequently, from a database using the reflection spectra or the colorimetric yardsticks derived from it, those recipes and/or colour tones are identified, which are most similar in its reflection characteristics. With the help of a computational matrix, the determined angle-dependent colour difference between the target colour tone, and the actual colour tone can be adjusted, i.e. minimized and a corrected receptor to the colour tone, by means of a function-minimising algorithm.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a
semiconductor wafer which includes at least a slicing
process for slicing a semiconductor monocrystalline ingot in
order to obtain a disc-shaped semiconductor wafer. In the
method, the sliced semiconductor wafer is etched before
being transported to a subsequent process. Even when a
monocrystalline ingot having a large diameter is sliced
through use of a wire saw, the method prevents generation of
breakage, cracks, chips, or the like in processes subsequent
to the slicing process, thereby enabling production of
large-diameter wafers with high productivity and high yield
through utilization of the advantage of the wire saw in
slicing a large-diameter monocrystalline ingot; i.e., high
cutting speed and a small amount of slicing stock removal.

Abstract: The invention described herein permits video decoders of varying degrees
of computational power to decode bitstreams with varying degrees of visual quality
degradation. It does so by reducing processing power requirements of a video
decoder based on both bitstream contents and decoder capabilities. One method
it uses is the reduction of motion compensation processing by modifying the use or
values of motion vectors, such as by turning some motion compensation off, or by
limiting the precision of motion vectors during decoding. Another method is by
limiting the coefficient processing so as to reduce the computational requirements.
Another method is to limit the processing of color components, and another
method is by reducing the amount of filtering performed on the decoder's output
video pictures.
