Filed: 1994-04-26
Abstract: An active adaptive noise canceller (100) that does not require a training mode and operates over an extended noise bandwidth. The canceller partitions the noise bandwidth into frequency sub-bands, and multiple adaptive filter channels (120, 140) are employed, one for each sub-band, to cancel noise energy in the respective sub-bands. Each channel includes bandpass filters (121, 130) to restrict the channel to operation over only the particular sub-band, and delays are inserted in the operation of the filter weight updating. Because each channel is stable over its sub-band, the canceller operates over the extended noise bandwidth of all the sub-bands.

Abstract: A low air loss patient support system (20) includes a plurality of identical multi-chambered inflatable sacks (34). A restrictive flow hole (64) connects two adjacent chambers (46, 54) disposed predominately to one side of the centerline of the sack, and each side is separately pressurizable under the control of a microprocessor (160) and a plurality of pressure control valves (162) with pressure transducers and a plurality of flow diverter valves (220) for switching between different modes of configuring the manner in which the sacks are pressurized. The system includes a modular manifold (128) for mounting the pressure control valves (162), and a modular support member for mounting the sacks via quick-disconnect couplings and having air flow channels defined therethrough. The support system can rotate or tilt the patient by depressurizing one side of the sacks (34) while increasing the pressurization of the opposite side of the sacks. An end chamber (46) of the depressurized side of each sack remains inflated while the adjacent intermediate chamber (54) becomes progressively deflated during depressurization to permit the end chambers to restrain the patient from sliding off the sacks during tilting. The support system can relieve pressure points between the patient and the sacks while elevating the head and chest of the patient by reconfiguring the diverter valves (162) to connect alternating sacks at the same pressure and periodically decreasing the pressure in one group of sacks while increasing the pressure in another group of sacks alternately to relieve the pressure of and on the patient between the two different groups of sacks depending upon which group is depressurizing and which group is being increased in pressure.

Abstract: The object of the current invention is to print characters, for example, on a substantially full area of a recording medium (30) extended up to the leading (32) or trailing (34) edge of the recording medium. A carriage (10) is moved so that a print hole (15) of a ribbon mask (14) is positioned at a medium center as viewed in the direction of feeding of a recording medium. The recording medium is fed to a position so that the print hole is at a print start position. A print operation is carried out toward a first side edge of the recording medium. The recording medium is then fed in the reverse direction to a position where the print hole is away from the recording medium as viewed in the character pitch direction. The carriage is then moved so that the print hole is positioned at a medium center as viewed in the direction of feeding of a recording medium. Thereafter, the medium is fed to a position so that the print hole is at a print start position. A print operation is then carried out toward a second side of the recording medium. A similar operation may be carried out to print on the trailing edge of a recording medium. Thus, characters may be printed on the leading or trailing edge of the recording medium without catching any of the corners of the recording medium on the print hole.

Abstract: A self-contained hydrodynamic bearing unit includes a shaft and a shaft housing defining an opening for receiving the shaft for relative rotation. The shaft and bearing define at least one radial hydrodynamic bearing and an annular thrust bearing, formed as a disk portion extending radially outward of a main cylindrical surface of the shaft which cooperates with an adjacent annular face of the shaft housing. A gap between an outer cylindrical wall of the thrust bearing disk portion and an adjacently facing cylindrical surface of the shaft housing provides a primary annular capillary seal segment An annular bushing ring extends from the housing radially inwardly to enclose the thrust bearing disk, and cooperates with an adjacent outer face of the thrust bearing disk to provide a secondary containment capillary seal segment. Normally, lubricating liquid is in the bearing unit at the radial hydrodynamic bearing, at the hydrodynamic thrust bearing and in the primary annular capillary seal segment. However, if liquid overflows from, or extends beyond the primary seal segment as by thermal expansion, it is contained in the secondary seal segment and urged to return by centrifugal force to the primary seal segment. A tertiary containment seal may also be provided to prevent escape of liquid to the external ambient.

Abstract: First multiplexers have inputs connected to communication channels which carry inbound digital words. The output of each of the first multiplexers is coupled to a control buffer that has its output connected to a data input of a random access memory (RAM) of M columns and N rows. The RAM is capable of concurrently storing a digital word entered on each of its data inputs during each clock cycle. During a clock cycle each control buffer: (a) stores an associated inbound word received from a first multiplexer, (b) transmits the associated inbound word to a respective input of the RAM, or (c) does both (a) and (b). The control buffer operates to cause each column in the RAM to be completely filled with inbound words before another column in the RAM receives any inbound words. The packing of the RAM to avoid empty or "fill" cells makes the reading or withdrawing of information straightforward.

Abstract: A pitch detecting device utilizes a pickup (3) for picking up the acoustic vibration to convert the same into a waveform signal. Further, a first detector (13) operates according to a fast algorithm for processing the waveform signal so as to responsively produce a first output representative of the pitch of the acoustic vibration, and a second detector (12) operates in parallel to the first detector (13) for processing the same waveform signal according to a slow algorithm so as to stably produce a second output representative of the pitch of the acoustic vibration. A selector (17) feeds one of the first and second outputs to the tone generator (18) so that the first and second detectors (13,12) can cooperate complementarily with each other to ensure responsive and stable detection of the pitch of the acoustic vibration. An additional detector (11) processes the waveform signal to measure a time interval between a pair of the peaks so as to detect a plucking point. A controller (21) controls the tone generator according to the detected plucking point to change the timbre of the tone generator in response to the plucking point.
