Inventor: GRIESINGER DAVID
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un système favorisant le couplage d'une paire de haut-parleurs (5, 6) stéréophoniques pleine gamme ou de caissons d'extrêmes graves (8, 9) à tous les modes d'écoute d'une salle d'écoute latéralement symétrique, l'emplacement préféré d'un auditeur étant sur la ligne centrale latérale. Le procédé consiste à appliquer les signaux audio (30, 32) gauche et droit ou les composantes basse fréquence dans une paire de réseaux passe-tout à décalage de phase qui ont une relation en phase à de basses fréquences audio, là où la localisation n'est pas possible. Le procédé et le système de cette invention peuvent également être compensés par le renforcement des notes graves de 3dB dans chaque canal de façon à obtenir le même niveau de pression acoustique au niveau des basses fréquences comme cela se produirait avec une paire de caissons d'extrêmes graves (8, 9) placée dans un angle de la salle et commandés en phase, ce qui garantit un niveau de pression acoustique constant le long de la ligne centrale latérale de la salle d'écoute au niveau de toutes les fréquences audio.

Abstract: An optical disc drive for playing back or recording and
playing back an optical disc comprises a motor for rotating an optical
disc, an optical pick-up having an objective lens which is actuated
by servo operation, and a CPU for controlling the motor and the optical
pick-up. The CPU is constructed to control the motor and the optical
pick-up so that, when the rotation number of the optical disc is to
be increased to a first target rotation number, the rotation number
of the optical disc is provisionally set to a second target rotation
number which is smaller than the first target rotation number, and
the servo operation of the optical pick-up is caused to engage until
the rotation number of the optical disc reaches the second target
rotation number.

Abstract: A process for device fabrication is disclosed. In the process, optical
lithography is used to introduce an image of a desired pattern into an
energy sensitive material. In the process, a filter element (100) is provided.
The filter element has at least two regions (110,120,130) of different transmittance,
each region denominated an aperture. The regions are selected by
obtaining information about the desired pattern and an optical
lithographic tool that will be used to introduce the image of the desired
pattern into the energy sensitive resist material. A filter element that
provides an image that, when developed, will provide features with
dimensions within acceptable process tolerances is then designed. The
filter element is designed by modeling the effects of each aperture of the
filter element on the intensity profile of an image of the desired pattern.
The combined effect of the apertures is then determined. If required, an
aspect (transmittance, orientation, dimension) of the one or more of the
proposed apertures is adjusted to provide a modeled intensity profile
that more closely corresponds to the desired lithographic result. Once
the aspects of all apertures is determined, the filter element is fabricated
and used in the optical lithographic process by placing the filter element
in the optical lithography tool.

Abstract: A database system is disclosed for use in managing the requirements and design
data produced during the engineering of a product such as a software system. The
database system is capable of providing a link in the database between an element
of the requirements data and an element of the design data. The links can be used
to associate an individual requirement with the corresponding element of the
design data and form part of the data structure in the database. When a database
user is viewing or editing an element of data held in the database, the links enable
the database system to display to the user the other elements of the stored data
that are associated with the data being viewed. For example, if a user views a
particular requirement they would also be able to identify the associated elements
of the design data and to view those elements on giving an appropriate command.

Abstract: A channel optimized vector quantization apparatus includes means (40) for weighting a sample vector x by a weighting matrix A and means (44) for weighting a set of code book vectors ĉr by a weighting matrix B. Means (30W) form a set of distance measures {dw(Ax,Bĉr)} representing the distance between the weighted sample vector Ax and each weighted code book vector Bĉr. Means (34W) form a set of distorsion measure {αi(x)} by multiplying each distance measure by a channel transition probability pr|i that an index r has been received at a decoder when an index i has been sent from an encoder and adding together these multiplied distance measures for each possible index r. Finally means (36W) determine an index imin corresponding to the smallest distortion measure αi(x) and represents the sample vector by this index imin.

Abstract: Target nucleated cells, and target cells containing remanant ribosomal material, which are present in a quiescent anticoagulated whole blood sample are optically detected, enumerated, and analyzed in a sample chamber (14) that has a varying through plane thickness due to convergent opposing sample chamber walls. At least one of the convergent walls (8) of the chamber is transparent so that the blood sample can be observed. The chamber's varying thickness produces a first lesser thickness region (A) in the chamber wherein individual red cells (32) and quiescent monolayers (31) of red cells in the sample will reside after the sample is introduced into and fills the chamber. Larger formed constituents such as white blood cells (34) and nucleated red blood cells present in the sample will reside in greater thickness regions (B) of the chamber, and non-nucleated red cells which reside in such greater thickness regions will agglomerate to form rouleaux (33). By admixing fluorescent dyes with the blood sample, target cells in the sample can be enumerated and differentiated by means of a scanning instrument (54) which is able to measure different wave length color signals emitted from the target cells in the sample, and differentiate the target cells one from another by reason of the nature of the emitted color signals.
