Abstract: A three-dimensional sound processing system which
provides a listener with three-dimensional sound effects
by reproducing a sound image properly positioned in a
reproduced sound field. A filter coefficient enhancement
unit creates two difference-enhanced impulse responses by
emphasizing the difference between two sets of acoustic
characteristics pertaining to a listener's both ears,
which are represented as impulse responses measured in an
original sound field. Based on the two difference-enhanced
impulse responses, a series of coefficients of a sound
image positioning filter are determined for every possible
location of the sound source. A coefficient memory unit
stores various sets of such filter coefficients separately
for each sound source location. The sound image
positioning filter configures itself with the series of
filter coefficients retrieved from the coefficient memory
unit according to a given sound source location, and adds
the acoustic characteristics of the original sound field
to a source sound signal. The sound image positioning
filter also subtracts in advance the acoustic
characteristics of the reproduced sound field from the
source sound signal, using a separate set of coefficients
representing inverse characteristics of the reproduced
sound field.

Abstract: This invention describes a patient supporting table for prone
stereotactic X-ray guided mammographic biopsy apparatus and a method of
use. 
     An elongated prone patient-supporting examining table (43) for X-ray
mammography is centrally supported at variable heights by a rear
pedestal. The table is provided with a central breast-receiving aperture (35)
through which the patient's pendulant breast is exposed to a horizontal beam
of X-rays from a tube head source (280) mounted on an arm angularly
movable through an arc of some 210° centered on the patient's breast.
Diagnosis of suspect lesions and fine needle biopsy are both facilitated by
stereotactic examination. Digital imaging using a CCD camera (36) and
image enhancement software provides magnification, contrast enhancement,
window and level manipulation and high resolution images, with low
exposure levels, short exposure times, and greatly reduced imaging times. 
     The breast receiving aperture is positioned so as to divided the
table into a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, which
supporting portions enable the patient's breast to be presented in respective
first and second orientations with respect to stereotactic imaging means, the
compression means and the biopsy needle guiding means.

Abstract: After clock and frame synchronization is established by a UW detector 32, a Δω detector 36 and a Δφ detector 38 detect a frequency error and a phase error, respectively, from a unique word (UW) latched and held in a memory 34 so that frequency and phase synchronization is established in phase rotation by a complex rotator 40. That is, clock, fame, frequency, and phase synchronization are all established using a UW in the initial frame alone. This allows a receiver to establish the above synchronization at a high speed. Further, as a delay unit 42 compensates for a delay occurred in the processing by the Δω detector 36 and the Δφ detector 38, data loss is prevented.

Abstract: An optical power meter for a fiber optic link includes a
photodetector (92) that generates a current proportional to the
energy of the light transmission in the optical fiber, a
current-to-voltage converter (100, 104) that converts the
current to a proportional voltage, and a voltage-to-frequency
converter (50) that converts the voltage to a digital pulse
train that increments a counter (28). A microprocessor (28)
periodically reads the average power value from the counter and
converts it to a power value in dBm which is then stored on a
mass storage device (24) and displayed on a display which shows
the power level over time so that losses due to intrinsic and
extrinsic loss factors can be easily identified. Software in the
power meter allows the user to input a power fluctuation range.
If the measured power falls outside of the range, the power
meter sets off a warning signal.
