IPC: G01P15/125
Filed: 1995-03-07
Abstract: A semiconductor acceleration sensor capable of reducing a leakage current and manufacturing method thereof is disclosed. A beam structure (64) is disposed on a silicon substrate (1). Beam structure has a movable section, and movable section (9) is disposed spaced at a prescribed distance above silicon substrate. A movable electrode section is formed in one portion of movable section (10,11). Fixed electrodes (17) made of an impurity diffusion layer are formed in silicon substrate to correspond to both sides of a movable electrode section. A peripheral circuit (20) is formed in silicon substrate. Beam structure and peripheral circuit are electrically connected by an electroconductive thin film, made of polysilicon. Then, when a voltage is applied to beam structure, and a voltage is applied to both fixed electrodes, an inversion layer is formed, and an electrical current flows between the fixed electrodes. In the case where an acceleration is received and movable section is displaced, the electrical current flowing between the fixed electrodes changes.

Abstract: A hierarchic disk array data storage system (10) has multiple storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34) and a RAID management system (16) that maps the physical storage space (34) into two virtual storage spaces. A RAID-level virtual storage space (40) presents the physical storage space as mirror and parity RAID areas where the mirror RAID areas store data according to RAID Level 1 and the parity RAID areas store data according to RAID Level 5. An application-level virtual storage space (50) presents the physical storage space as multiple virtual blocks which can be associated with mirror and parity RAID areas. The RAID management system (16) migrates the virtual blocks between the mirror and parity RAID areas to optimize performance and reliability. To select virtual blocks for migration from mirror to parity RAID areas, a frequency distribution table (60) is created to characterize the virtual blocks according to a predetermined distribution criteria. A virtual block is selected by segmenting the frequency distribution table (60) to identify virtual blocks. The application-level virtual storage space (50) is searched until a virtual block that satisfies the selection criterion is located. The located virtual block is then migrated to the parity RAID area.

Abstract: A cordless telephone arranged for operation in a frequency hopping system 
includes an arrangement which achieves optimum utilization of multiple cordless telephone 
portable units by permitting these units to access a common base unit and also access each 
other. The portable units are configured for subsequent operation with the base unit and each 
other during a registration process by having the base unit select from a plurality of 
communication channels available in the frequency hopping system a different starting 
channel for each one of the portable units. The portable units are thereby advantageously 
selectably addressable by the base unit and by each other. Any one of the registered portable 
units, for example, is capable of selectively paging and communicating with any other one of 
the registered portable units over selected ones of the plurality of communication channels. 
Once a base unit establishes a communication link with a portable unit, or a portable unit 
establishes a communication link with another portable unit, using set-up channels 
designated for such purpose, both units move away from these channels. Another two units, 
two unoccupied or free portable units, for example, may then advantageously also use these 
set-up channels for establishing another communication link.

Abstract: A copy prevention method and apparatus of a digital magnetic recording/reproducing system performs the copy prevention function by encoding to insert a marker involving copy prevention function information and executing the function and allows a program supplier to realize a desired copy prevention function of various patterns, in which the marker formed by a control word for scrambling audio and video bit straps and copy prevention information for preventing an illegal copy is encrypted by an encoded key to be multiplexed with the audio and video bit strips scrambled by the control word. The marker transmitted is detected from the bit strips to be decrypted and analyzed by the encoded key to determine whether the copy is permitted or not, so that the detected marker is updated to be recorded on a video tape and the control word is produced from the marker to perform the descrambling to supply the result to a monitor to be displayed. Thus, the program supplier selects the copy prevention function, and a separate format converting apparatus is not required since a field defined within a GA format is utilized while an existing DVCR is not need to be changed for performing the copy prevention function as the data amount to be recorded is not increased.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wide dynamic range power amplifier (50) having a power amplification circuit (1) for increasing the power of an incoming signal to an output power suitable for transmitting the signal over a communication medium, and a feedback circuit (10) coupled between the output (3) and gain control input (4) of the power amplification circuit for changing the output power to a new, desired output power. 
     The feedback circuit may include a digital step attenuator (12), a power detector (13), a reference D.C. voltage (15), and a comparator (16). To change the output power, the digital step attentuator attenuates the output power sensed by the power detector, from a first attenuation level to a second attenuation level, by an amount corresponding to the desired change in output power. The power conversion circuit (13,14) converts the output power at the second attenuation level to a D.C. voltage (16a) for comparison with the reference D.C. voltage (15) which corresponds to the output power at the first attenuation level. The comparator increases the gain of the power amplification circuit, and thereby the output power, by an amount corresponding to the difference between the D.C. voltage and the reference D.C. voltage, until the D.C. voltage equals the reference D.C. voltage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for utilizing supplemental data to enable a voice-driven telecommunication services system to build a speech recognition template data base. Such supplemental data includes textual name data associated with many or all of a telecommunication subscriber's incoming and outgoing calls. The textual name data, which typically represents the calling or called party's name, is used to generate a speech recognition template using text-to-speech methods. The number and the speech recognition template may then be recorded in a data base to facilitate voice-driven services in connection with that party. A method according to the present invention includes obtaining a first input, where the first input identifies an aspect of a telecommunication network user. The first input may, for example, be the telephone number of the telecommunication network user. Then, supplemental information that is related to the first input in a supplemental data base is identified and retrieved from the supplemental data base. The supplemental information may, for example, be the textual name data associated with the telecommunication network user. This supplemental information is then utilized to create a speech recognition template. The speech recognition template may thereafter be used to recognize a second input, said second input comprising a spoken utterance and containing information representative of the supplemental information.

Abstract: A color imaging system has a color correction table (10) connected to a printer (12). A set of refinement colors x i  are selected to determine the accuracy of the system. The number of refinement colors selected is small in relation to the number of locations in the color correction table (10), e.g., 1-50%. For each refinement color x, the printer (12) prints a color patch of corresponding color. A measuring device (14) measures each color patch and determines a corresponding colorimetric value x'. A refinement table (16) is generated which maps x' to x using an error difference between x' and x. An interpolator (22) interpolates the known error values across the refinement table based on a weighted sum of the known error values. The weighting is inversely proportional to a Euclidean distance of each interpolated error value from the known error values.
