Patent EP-0702366-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TAMARU TAKUYA
IPC: H01H89/00
Filed: 1995-09-01
Abstract: A control device suitable for use in a sing-along or
karaoke apparatus has a rotary encoder coupled to a selector
knob through a transfer mechanism, such as gears. When the
selector knob rotates, the rotary encoder generates pulse
signals for each rotation of the selector knob. The number of
pulses may depend upon a gear ratio of the transfer mechanism.
The control device is used, for example, to scan and select
music titles stored in a ROM cartridge or other suitable
storage medium. The control device may be integrated with an
apparatus for controlling the start or stop function. The
control device provides a design flexibility due to its compact
design.

Abstract: A remote control mechanism has a gear lever 1
with a control knob 6 at its upper end and fastened at
its lower end to a lever block member 7. The lever
block member 7 is mounted on a first ball stud 9 so as
to be pivotable about two mutually perpendicular axis 2,
3, such that pivotal movement of the gear lever 1 about
the axis 2 effects translation of the cable core 17 of a
push pull cable 4 attached to the bottom of the lever
block member 7, thereby to execute a gear change. A
second ball stud 20 is mounted on the lever block member
7 and is mounted in a complementary shaped surface of a
bearing member 23, the external periphery of which is
mounted for translational movement in an aperture 24 in
one arm of a bell crank lever 25. The bell crank lever
is pivotable about a fixed axis 26 such that pivotal
movement of the gear lever 1 about the axis 3 causes
rotation of the bell crank lever 25 about its axis 26
which effects translation of the cable core 28 of a
push/pull cable 5 attached to the other arm of the bell
crank lever 25, thereby executing a rail selection.

Title: Verfahren zum kontinuierlichen Färben von Kettgarn und Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens
Inventor: GODAU ECKHARDT ING
IPC: D06B17/00
Filed: 1997-04-04
Abstract: Das Verfahren zum kontinuierlichen Färben von Kettgarn,
insbesondere Baumwollkettgarn mit Indigo oder
anderen Farbstoffgruppen, die nach dem Imprägnieren
und Abquetschen zur Fixierung eine Oxidation oder eine
Wärmebehandlung erfordern, beseitigt die Nachteile herkömmlicher
Verfahren zum kontinuierlichen Färben von
Kettgarn. Insbesondere wird durch das Verfahren die
benötigte Flottenmenge entscheidend gesenkt. 
     Durch einen neuen Färbereaktor (1) kann die Verweilzeit
der Kettgarnschar in der Färbeanlage variabel gestaltet
werden, ohne daß das Flottenvolumen erhöht werden
muß. Durch die Möglichkeit einer Beheizung oder einer
Kühlung der Farbflotte kann eine Fixiertemperatur von
unter Raumtemperatur bis über 100° C gewählt werden
und damit für alle für Kettgarne üblichen Färbeverfahren
optimale Bedingungen geschaffen werden. Dadurch
kann die Anzahl der Tauch-Oxidationsgänge in der Indigofärberei
reduziert werden, und somit der wachsenden
Nachfrage nach indigoblauen Jeansstoffen mit verschiedenen
Waschechtheiten und Nuancentiefen und bei Black- und
Colour-Denim mit hoher Flexibilität Rechnung getragen
werden.

Abstract: In a satellite communication system where user
terminals 11 communicate via satellites 9A-E with earth
stations 7A-E to join with a terrestrial telephone
network 1, a controller 18 at a master earth station 7A
monitors all earth stations 7A-E for a request for
service received from a user terminal 11, then
calculates which earth station 7A-E is best placed to
service the request and instructs the best placed earth
station 7B to service the request. In servicing the
request, the best placed earth station 7B uses that
earth station 5C whereat the user terminal 11 is
registered as a visitor as the gateway into the
terrestrial system 1 by routing all voice grade
messages thereto and therefrom via a voice link 21. If
the user terminal 11 is not registered at any earth
station 7A-E, the best placed earth station becomes the
earth station of registration and acts as a gateway.
The user terminal can store the identity of the last
earth station 7A-E whereat it was registered and can
inform the controller 18 for direct use of that
information.

Abstract: A disc reproducing apparatus comprises a means
(5) for reproducing data recorded on a disc (1), a means
(15) for making a decision as to whether the reproduced
data are proper or not, a means for detecting a face-down
state of the disc (1) in response to the result of the
decision, and a means for controlling the driving of the
disc (1) in response to the result of the detection.
When a disc such as a DVD (1) loaded in a normal state is
rotated clockwise, the point of reproduction is gradually
shifted toward the outer periphery of the disc. However,
when a disc loaded in a face-down state is rotated, the
point of reproduction is shifted toward the centre of the
disc, so that the required continuity of addresses is not
achieved. Thus, a face-down state of the loaded disc can
be detected from the result of the decision indicating
non-continuity of the addresses.

Abstract: A speaker recognition device for judging whether or
not an unknown speaker is an authentic registered speaker
himself/herself executes 'text verification using speaker
independent speech recognition' and 'speaker verification by
comparison with a reference pattern of a password of a
registered speaker'. A presentation section (502) instructs
the unknown speaker to input an ID and utter a specified text
designated by a text generation section (501) and a password.
The 'text verification' of the specified text is executed by
a text verification section (507), and the 'speaker
verification' of the password is executed by a similarity
calculation section (511). The judgment section (512) judges
that the unknown speaker is the authentic registered speaker
himself/herself if both the results of the 'text verification'
and the 'speaker verification' are affirmative. According to
the device, the 'text verification' is executed using a set
of speaker independent reference patterns, and the 'speaker
verification' is executed using speaker reference patterns of
passwords of registered speakers, thereby storage capacity
for storing reference patterns for verification can be
considerably reduced. Preferably, 'speaker identity
verification' between the specified text and the password is
executed.
