Abstract: A work stop (56) for use on a machine vise
(10) is received in a jaw plate (20,22) for such vise
(10) and is securely locked in position. The work
stop (56) is fixed in a groove (58) that is machined
int a top edge of the jaw plate (20,22) or jaw, with
a member (57) extending over the edge of the jaw
plate (20,22) and adjacent the face of the jaw plate
(20,22) that is used for clamping a workpiece. This
permits the workpiece to be slid against the stop
(56) before being clamped. The jaw plate (20,22) is
removable mounted onto a fixed jaw (18) and is
located precisely relative to the fixed jaw (18) so
that the jaw plate (20,22) with the work stop (56)
attached an be removed, and then replaced when the
same part is to be machined again.

Abstract: There is provided an image storing/processing device in which image information is
efficiently stored of an affair which may unpredictably happen at any time, and in
which retrieval thereof is facilitated and further storage capacity is sharply improved.
An analog video signal inputted from an external pick-up device 6 is converted to a
digital video signal with an A/D conversion part 1, which digital video signal is then
compressed in an image data compression part 2, and resulting compression data is
stored in a memory part 3. The stored image compression data is transferred to an
image data expansion part 4 and is selected and is expanded, and resulting image
expansion data is convened to an analog signal in a D/A conversion part 5 and is then
sent to a television monitor 9 for display thereof. A trigger signal input part 8 receives
a trigger signal generated in response to the foregoing affair happening, and a control
part 7 controls the operation to compress and store only a necessary image whereby the
necessary image is selected and displayed on a television monitor 9. Only the
necessary image is stored and is convened to compressed data in such a manner to
improve storage efficiency.

Title: Pole cap, pole, and verge arrangement for preventing plant growth at the foot of a pole
Inventor: BEUKER HENDRIK AUKE
IPC: E01F15/04
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: A pole cap for substantially sealingly covering an
area adjacent the foot of a pole (2; 42) to prevent plant
growth in that area. As the pole cap is provided with
anchoring means (16; 26; 44; 54, 55; 74; 94) for mounting at
least a portion of the pole cap on the ground, a reliable
positioning of the pole cap is obtained without this pole cap
having to be of heavy construction. This prevents the cap
from being lifted by growth, such as tree roots and the like,
during mowing by the mowing machine or by other causes. In
that case, if the pole cap is possibly mown over with a
substantial overlap, no damage is caused thereby. Further,
due to the anchoring, the shape of the pole cap is stabilized
and the pole cap provides, through its anchoring, support to
the pole. There are further described a pole (2; 12; 22; 42)
and a verge arrangement in which such pole cap is used.

IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 1998-05-07
Abstract: An electric heater (1) arranged beneath a glass-ceramic
cook top (2) is controlled with the aid of a
temperature sensor (7) for monitoring temperature at or
adjacent to the glass-ceramic cook top. The sensor
provides an electrical output as a function of
temperature and permits monitoring, in time controlled
manner, temperature at or adjacent to the glass-ceramic
cook top. In a first stage the temperature of the
glass-ceramic cook top (2) is permitted to exceed a
predetermined continuous safe level (Y) for up to a
predetermined maximum time period (X, W 2 , W) and such
that a predetermined temporary safe level (Z) of
temperature, in excess of the predetermined continuous
safe level (Y), is not exceeded. In a second stage the
heater (1) is regulated in accordance with the
monitored temperature to achieve a selected temperature
of the glass-ceramic cook top in a range up to the
predetermined continuous safe level (Y) of temperature.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for watermarking an audio or video signal. The signal is encoded by an encoder (6) which includes a feedback loop (64) to control the encoding process, such as a DPCM encoder or a (sigma-)delta modulator. The watermark (3) is embedded by modifying (2) selected samples of the encoded signal. Said modifying is carried out before the encoded signal is fed back so that quantization errors which are introduced by the embedded watermark will be eliminated by subsequent encoding operations. In addition, one or more samples preceding the selected samples are also modified in such a way that the error induced by the watermark is further reduced. This is achieved by "looking ahead" which (combination of) preceding sample modifications yields the best encoding quality.

Abstract: A characteristic vector, that has been converted in an
analysis section (1), of a voice data for collation of input is
stored in a storage section (3) for the characteristic vector, a
selection section (4) for inhibition speaker selects at least
one inhibition speaker by calculating similarity degree of the
characteristic vector converted in the analysis section to
the standard patterns of respective speakers stored in a
storage section (2), in which at least one standard pattern of
candidates of inhibition speakers has been stored, of the
standard pattern of candidates of inhibition speakers. An
adaptation section (5) adapts the standard patterns of
inhibition speakers by acquiring a mapping function from a
characteristic vector space of a voice of a inhibition speaker
to a characteristic vector space of an inputted voice by using
the standard pattern of inhibition speakers selected in the
selection section to select a inhibition speaker and the
characteristic vector stored in the storage section for the
characteristic vector and by using the mapping function
known. A calculation section (6) of a similarity degree of
inhibition speakers calculates the similarity degree between a
characteristic vector stored in the storage section of
characteristic vector and the standard pattern of inhibition
speakers adapted in the adaptation section. 
     A calculation section (8) of a similarity degree to the
identical person calculates a storage section (7) of the 
standard pattern of the identical person, in which the
registered standard pattern of the identical person has been
stored, and the similarity degree of the characteristic vector
stored in the storage section for the characteristic vector to
the standard pattern of the identical person stored in the
storage section of the standard pattern of the identical person.
A normalization section (9) of the similarity degree
normalizes the similarity degree by using the similarity
degree calculated in the calculation section of a similarity
degree to the identical person and the similarity degree
calculated in said calculation section of a similarity degree of
inhibition speakers. A decision section (11) decides the
person by using the similarity degree normalized in the
normalization section of the similarity degree and the
threshold value stored in a storage section (10), in which a
threshold value previously determined has been stored, for
storing a threshold value.

Abstract: When switching to a path whose directivity
changes greatly or a path with a widely different
propagation delay, transmission is performed for both
directivities for a certain period of time. Then,
transmission is performed for one directivity. When the
switching of transmission directivities is controlled,
this allows correct reception of signals and prevents
instantaneous interruption due to loss of synchronism
even if transmission is performed by switching to a path
with a widely different propagation delay.
