Abstract: A tape loading mechanism can reduce a load imposed upon a tape by removing conventional inclined guides and reduce the number of assemblies necessary for forming a tape transport system. The tape transport system of the tape loading mechanism is composed of four guide members including a tension regulator guide (9) for supporting a tape unreeled from a supply reel (1), a guide post (12) having a shuttle for guiding the tape to the entrance side of a rotary drum (14), a guide post (13) having a shuttle for guiding the tape to the exit side of the rotary drum (14), and an exit guide (21) for guiding the tape to a take-up reel (3). The tension regulator guide (9) and the exit guide (21) are formed as inclined guides having flanges in order to twist the tape supported by the respective guides so that a tape transport direction and a tape height direction can be varied. Thus, the conventional inclined guide member-with-shuttle can be removed.

Abstract: Système d'appel sélectif dans lequel des stations de base (BS1, BS2) transmettent des mots de code d'adresse à un débit prédéterminé. Des informations téléécrites à haute vitesse ayant une longueur d'environ plus de 500 caractères, par ex., un message par courrier électronique, sont transmises à un débit supérieur à celui utilisé pour envoyer des mots de code d'adresse. Dans le cas où le système est un système de diffusion simultanée, un brouillage entre symboles peut se produire, et afin de réduire les effets de ce brouillage entre symboles lors du décodage des informations téléécrites et d'éviter une vitesse d'épuisement inutilement importante des batteries des stations secondaires, les informations téléécrites, telles que réceptionnées sur une station secondaire spécifique, sont stockées, puis égalisées en temps non réel. L'unité terminale mobile peut comporter un émetteur qui transmet des signaux d'accusé de réception ou d'autres signaux de réponse, par exemple, des signaux à spectre étalé, les signaux d'accusé réception pouvant être utilisés pour localiser l'unité terminale mobile.

Abstract: A method for positioning a cartridge by allowing the fitting portion of the ink cartridge to engage with the ink supply tube supporting portion of the ink cartridge housing when the ink cartridge is mounted on the ink cartridge housing includes the steps of positioning the ink supply tube and the ink cartridge fitting portion by guiding the ink cartridge by means of the engagement between the ink cartridge housing member and the ink cartridge until the fitting portion of the ink cartridge and the supporting portion of the ink supply tube begin to engage with each other; and completing the mounting of the ink cartridge on the ink cartridge housing member by loosening at least partly the engagement between the ink cartridge housing member and the ink cartridge after the engagement is made between the fitting portion of the ink cartridge and the supporting portion of the ink supply tube. With such structure, the operativity of the method is enhanced, while positioning the supply tube and the fitting portion of the ink cartridge in high precision. Further, no load is given to the supply tube and the supply tube supporting portion after the completion of its engagement.

Abstract: An insulated gate semiconductor device includes an N layer (43) having an impurity concentration higher than that of an N -  layer (42) formed between the N -  layer (42) and a P base layer (44). In the exposed surface of the P base layer (44) connected to an emitter electrode (51), a P +  layer (91) having an impurity concentration higher than that of the P base layer (44) is formed. The formation of the N layer (43) allows the carrier distribution in the N -  layer (42) to be close to the carrier distribution of a diode, so that the on-state voltage is decreased while maintaining high the current value capable of turn-off. Furthermore, the P +  layer (91) allows holes to easily go through from the P base layer (44) to the emitter electrode (51), which increases the current value capable of turn-off.

Abstract: In an improved method of speech coding for use in conjunction with speech coding methods wherein speech is digitized into a plurality of temporally defined frames, each frame including a plurality of sub-frames, and the digitized speech is partitioned into periodic components and a residual signal. For each of a plurality of sub-frames of the residual signal, the improved method of speech coding selects and applies a time shift T to the sub-frame by applying a matching criterion to (a) the current sub-frame of the residual signal, and (b) a sample-to-sample (sub-frame-to-subframe) pitch delay determined by applying linear interpolation to known pitch delays occurring at or near frame-to-frame boundaries of previous frames. 
The matching criterion is applied by minimizing ε, where :       (r(n-T)  is the residual signal of the current frame shifted by time  T ,  r(n-D(n))  is the delayed residual signal from a previously-occurring frame,  n  is a positive integer,  r  is the instantaneous amplitude of the residual signal, and  D(n)  is the sample-to-sample pitch delay determined by applying linear interpolation to known pitch delay values occurring at or near frame-to-frame boundaries.

Abstract: A moving picture coding and decoding apparatus
performs inter-picture prediction with a plurality of
reference pictures. In encoding, a first and a second
predictive signal are respectively output by decimating
pixels of a first and a second reference picture used for
prediction. A predictive signal is subtracted from a
coded picture signal to obtain a predictive residue signal.
The predictive signal is formed by alternately selecting
pixels not decimated of the first and the second predictive
signals. The predictive residue signal is then encoded and
output. In decoding, the coded predictive residue signal
is decoded to reproduce the predictive residue signal. A
third and a fourth predictive signals are output by
decimating pixels of a third and a fourth reference picture
used for prediction. Pixels not decimated of the third and
the fourth predictive signals are alternately selected and
added to the reproduced predictive residue signal to
reproduce and output a picture signal.
