Abstract: An audio signal compression apparatus for
compressively coding an input audio signal comprises a
time-to-frequency transformation unit for transforming
the input audio signal to a frequency domain signal; a
spectrum envelope calculation unit for calculating a
spectrum envelope having different resolutions for
different frequencies, from the input audio signal, using
a weighting function on frequency based on human auditory
characteristics; a normalization unit for normalizing the
frequency domain signal using the spectrum envelope to
obtain a residual signal; a power normalization unit for
normalizing the residual signal by the power; an auditory
weighting calculation unit for calculating weighting
coefficients on frequency, based on the spectrum of the
input audio signal and human auditory characteristics; and
a multi-stage quantization means having plural stages of
vector quantizers connected in series, to which the
normalized residual signal is input, and at least one of
the vector quantizers quantizing the residual signal using
the weighting coefficients. Therefore, a low frequency
band, which is auditively important, can be analyzed with
a higher frequency resolution as compared with a high
frequency band, whereby efficient signal compression
utilizing human auditory characteristics is realized.

Abstract: An ink jet printhead for use in an ink jet printer, or mounted in an ink jet
printer being shipped or being stored. The ink jet printhead (34) consists of a
printhead structure having a body including walls having surfaces defining fluid
flow channels (44) and fluid ejecting nozzles (62) at the ends of the channels. In
order to achieve a successful first time ink wetting and priming of the printhead
structure, the channels and the nozzles are filled with a non-ink priming and
coating fluid prior to a first time filling thereof with printing ink. The non-ink
priming and coating fluid has low surface tension and volatility characteristics for
enabling the non-ink priming and coating fluid to spontaneously and quickly
move through the channels of the printhead and into the nozzles thereof. The
non-ink priming and coating fluid also has surface treating characteristics for
wetting and coating the surfaces of the walls of the channels and nozzles in order
to clean and lubricate such surfaces, thereby destroying any hydrophobic film on
such surfaces, and enabling a successful first time wetting and priming of the
channels and nozzles with printing ink.

Abstract: A multiple master typeface can generate and display kanji
characters. The graphical elements of the characters in the
typeface are classified into shape types, and a glyph set is
provided for each shape type. Each glyph set contains base
glyphs which represent the variations in the shape type. To
generate the character, the shape type of and position of each
element in the character is identified. For each element in the
character, a weighting factor is determined for each base glyph
in the glyph set for the shape type of that element. A composite
element is created from the base glyphs in the glyph set for the
shape type of that element. The relative contribution of each
base glyph to the composite element is determined by the
weighting factors determined for that element and that base
glyph. To display the character, the composite elements are
placed in the identified positions. An instance of a character
may be generated from the master characters by interpolating
between the master characters on an element by element basis.

Abstract: Digitale Signale werden üblicherweise z.B. im Einträgerverfahren oder im
Mehrträgerverfahren übertragen. Bei beiden Verfahren wird eine
Trägerfrequenz je Übertragungskanal bzw. je Teilkanal vorgegebener
Bandbreite verwendet. Erfindungsgemäß werden zur Erhöhung der
Übertragungkapazität eines Kanals mindestens zwei Trägerfrequenzen ( f1,
f2, f3 ) verwendet. Der Frequenzabstand zweier Trägerfrequenzen ist dabei
z.B. um den Faktor 500 geringer als der Absolutwert einer Trägerfrequenz
( f1, f2, f3 ). Die durch die Überlagerung ( ADD ) mehrerer
Trägerfrequenzen ( f1, f2, f3 ) in einem Kanal entstehende
Schwebungsfrequenz ist vernachlässigbar, insbesondere dann, wenn die
ausgesendeten Trägerfrequenzen (f1, f2, f3 ) untereinander einen
phasengleichen Schwingungsbeginn ausweisen. Durch die Überlagerung
( ADD ) mehrerer Trägerfrequenzen (f1, f2, f3) können für unterschiedliche
Bitströme ( DATA1, DATA2, DATA3 ) gleiche resultierende
Trägerfrequenzen entstehen. Als Unterscheidungsmerkmal kann
beispielsweise eine unterschiedliche Amplitude, eine unterschiedliche
Winkeleinstellung oder die Zuordnung zu zusätzlichen
Trägerfrequenzen verwendet werden.

Abstract: A method and system for providing security for a computing
device include resolving, conflicts between a password-protected screen
saver and communication notification capabilities by selectively enabling
access to specific communications when the computing device is in a locked
mode. The screen saver of the computing device is configured to switch the
device from a normal operative mode to a locked mode in response to detection
of a preset condition, such as the expiration of an idle-time timer. The
computing device then remains in the locked mode until a preset authorization
condition is recognized, e.g., entering a password. However, with the
computing device in the locked mode, a subset of communication access
capabilities is enabled. Specifically, notification of incoming communications
is enabled. Preferably, connectivity for select types of outgoing calls is also
enabled, e.g., connectivity for emergency calls. In the preferred embodiment,
the conflicts are resolved by integrating the screen saver with communication
access capabilities in a single software package. Also in the preferred
embodiment, the communication access capabilities are provided by a
telephony over LAN application and a switch to the locked mode is disabled
during communication sessions involving the computing device.

Abstract: An effective receiver is achieved for situations where the receiver is
mobile, and may be traveling at relatively high speed, and where the receiver's internal
demodulation oscillator causes a frequency offset, with processing that shares a
common algorithm for both frequency offset and channel characteristics estimations.
Specifically, the commonly employed algorithm, such as the LMS algorithm, computes
an estimate of the frequency offset (in 231), and that very same algorithm is also used to
estimate the channel characteristics (in 232). When the LMS algorithm is used, a
frequency offset estimate can be derived from signals derived in the course of executing
the LMS algorithm. A frequency compensation factor is then developed and applied to
the incoming signal to create a signal that does not have an appreciable frequency
offset. That signal is then applied to a process that also employs the LMS algorithm, in
combination with a detection algorithm, such as, for example, the Viterbi algorithm, to
recover from the incoming signal the information signals that had been encoded into the
incoming signals.

Title: Analog-to-digital converter for processing analog signals  from a large array of detectors
Inventor: SABATINI MARCO
IPC: H03M1/12
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: A parallel pipelined analog-to-digital converter for use with chips containing large arrays of
detectors is described. In these A/D converters, the degree of parallelism decreases between earlier
and later pipeline stages. That is, there are fewer instances of at least one of the later stages than
there are instances of at least one of the earlier stages. Thus, the instances of the earlier stages are
responsible for processing a fewer number of pixels than are instances of the later stages. Viewed
another way, the parallel pipelined analog-to-digital converter architecture of this invention
assumes a tree or branched arrangement in which the earlier stages correspond to leaves and the
later stage condense to branches. In an extreme example, the later stages coalesce to a single route.

Abstract: This invention provides a digital data
recording and reproducing apparatus and a digital data
reproducing apparatus for recording data to a recording
medium which can handle instrumental data as the data.
In the digital data recording and reproducing apparatus
according to the invention, in parallel with the
writing of data to a magnetic tape, the written data is
read. An error correction code of the read data is
decoded and whether errors exceeding an error
correcting ability which the code has exist or not is
checked. In case of handling normal data, in this
case, the same data is rewritten by a retrying process.
In case of handling instrumental data, the retrying
process is not performed and subsequent to the data
having uncorrectable errors, the next data is written.
In case of reading data as well, data in which
uncorrectable errors exist is also read and transferred
as it is.
