Abstract: A digital image texture analyzing method uses (302)
the mean (µ 0 ) and variance (σ 0 ) of the pixel values of an
original image. Further, m × n filtered images are
obtained (304) by filtering the original image using
predetermined filters, each having a unique combination of
one of m scales and one of n orientations, where m and n
are predetermined positive integers, and the means (µ   11   ,
µ   21   , ···, µ   mn   ) and variances (σ   11   ,σ   21   ,···, σ   mn   ) of the
respective filtered images are calculate (306). A texture
descriptor is obtained (308) having the mean (µ   0   ) and
variance (σ   0   ) of the pixel values of the original image
and the means (µ   11   , µ   21   , ···, µ   mn   ) and variances
(σ   11   ,σ   21   ,···, σ   mn   ) of the respective filtered images
obtained in the step (c), as texture features. The
texture analyzing method allows image textures to be more
accurately analyzed and compared for similarity, even when
an image is rotated and/or enlarged or reduced relative to
another image.

Abstract: It is an object to encode an image signal or a shape signal more
efficiently than the prior art. As a means to accomplish the object,
the change pixel detector 2 receives the input signal 1 as an input
signal and detects the pixel which changes the two-valued pixel
value. Further, the change pixel predictor 4 also reads out the
reference image stored in the memory 3, and predicts the change pixel
of the particular input signal. The difference value calculator
5 subtracts the output of the change pixel predictor 4 from the output
of the change pixel detector 2. The difference value rounder 7
compares the tolerance value e and the prediction error D, and
outputs x which requires the minimum bit number for being encoded
in the value D-e≦x≦D+e. The output of the difference value rounder
7 is encoded by the decoder 8 to become the encoded signal 9. Also,
the output of the difference value rounder 7 is added in the
difference value adder 11 to the predicted pixel 4 of the predicted
pixel predictor 4, whereby the change pixel is calculated, and in
the change pixel decoder 10, the respective pixels from the already
decoded pixel indicated by the change pixel predictor 4 to the change
pixel is decoded to be stored in the memory 3.

Abstract: An apparatus controls valve timing of an internal combustion engine that is
provided with helical splines (50, 52) of an actuator (24) for varying a phase difference in
rotation and an actuator (22a) for varying a cam profile and lift of an intake cam (27).
When the apparatus for controlling valve timing and respective actuators are not driven, a
valve timing can be automatically established, which can achieve a cold valve overlap ov.
Carburetion of fuel can be promoted in the combustion chamber and intake ports by the
blow-back of exhaust resulting from the cold valve overlap ov. A mixture is made into a
sufficient air-fuel ratio without depending on an increase in fuel when cold idling, wherein
combustion is stabilized still more than in a case where valve overlap is not increased, cold
hesitation can be prevented from occurring, and drivability can be maintained in a
comparatively favorable state.

oscillation circuit (2) is put into a normal oscillation state. The oscillator (10) thus creates a
number of opportunities of transient response allowing the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation
circuit (2) to grow, and reliably oscillates.

Abstract: A packet processor whose processing capabilities are
optimized by concurrently processing multiple packets within
various pipelined stages. At each stage, multiple packets are
processed via an internally pipelined sub-processor. In one
embodiment, the packets are processed in a round robin fashion.
When a particular packet is done processing at a particular
stage, it may pass another packet whose processing is not
complete, and move to a next stage. In another embodiment, a
packet is processed until a conditional branch instruction or
any other instruction causing a potential stall is encountered.
If such an instruction is encountered, a next available packet
is selected and processed instead of wasting processing cycles
during the stall, or proceeding with the processing of the
current packet based on a predicted result. The sub-processor
resumes processing of the packet once the stall is over.

Abstract: An intraoral x-ray film packet is taught which includes a molded
thermoplastic frame (preferably injection molded) to which an x-ray dental packet
is sealed. The sealing method can be any one of a number of processes including,
but not limited to RF sealing, induction heat sealing, or ultrasonic sealing, as well
as using any one of various adhesives to affix the x-ray dental packet to the frame.
The injection molded thermoplastic frame provides a cushion to buffer and a soft
rounded edge to mask the sharp edges that occur on plastic encased x-ray dental
packets. Sealing of the injection molded thermoplastic frame to the x-ray dental
packet during manufacture results in a packet which includes a comfort enhancing
perimeter frame permanently integrated therewith. In such manner, the dental film
packet is manufactured with an integrally formed perimetric cushion. The dental
film packet is preferably formed with an outer envelope wherein one of the
opposing outer sheets is more rigid than the other. In this way, the laminated
perimetric edge formed to bond the two outer sheets together is generally coplanar
with the more rigid of the two outer sheets. This resultant planar surface on one
side of the packet aids in the accurate positioning of the packet into the frame and
further enhances the ability to die cut the packet and maintain outside dimension
tolerances.

Abstract: A vehicle 10 has wheels 12, each associated with a stub axle 14, the
outermost end of which will rise and fall relative to the car 10. A mechanical or
gas spring 16 provides resilience to resist this movement. In some vehicles, the
resilience of the spring 16 is adjustable, and set automatically by a control
system in order to accommodate differences in driving conditions, techniques
or the like. An algorithm used to control the resilience will assume an expected
weight of the car 10. If the weight of the car changes significantly, such as by
the addition of protection in the form of armour plating, armoured glass or the
like, the same algorithm will no longer be appropriate for setting the spring 16.
Thus, additional springs 20 and/or torsion bars 22 are used to provide preloading
to the suspension arrangement so that the spring 16 is then required
only to support the unmodified weight of the car 10, allowing existing control
arrangements and algorithms to be used without modification.

Abstract: A speech processing system is provided which is operable

speech signal generated by a speech source as distorted
by a transmission channel between the speech source and
the speech processing system. The system stores data
defining a predetermined function derived from a signal
model which models both the speech source and the channel
and defining a probability density function which gives,
for a given set of model parameters, the probability that
the signal model has those model parameters given that
the signal model is assumed to have generated the
received set of signal values. The system applies a
current set of received signal values to the stored
probability density function and then draws samples from
it using a Gibbs sampler. The system then analyses the
samples to determine a set of parameter values
representative of the speech signal before it was
distorted by the channel.
