IPC: A63F13/10
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: When a video soccer game is played on a video
game machine, two soccer teams are displayed in a virtual
ball game space representing the field of a soccer stadium
on a display screen. The game player of the video game
machine operates a manual controller to control a player's
game character of one of the soccer teams. In the video
soccer game, it is determined, in response to a ball capture
start signal, whether the player's game character is
positioned in front of, on the side of, or behind an opponent
game character carrying a soccer ball and belonging to
the other soccer team that is controlled by the video game
machine. The game character controlled by the game player
automatically tackles the opponent game character to capture
the soccer ball depending on the detected relative position
between the game character and the ball.

Abstract: In this invention, a speech signal input from the
microphone of a mobile terminal (101) having a PHS
function in a communication or off-line state is sent
from a PHS network (103) to a speech control host unit
(108) connected to a LAN (107) in a specific speech
service provider through the Internet and recognized.
The contents of the recognition result are automatically
determined and shaped into text data of a format
type designated from the mobile terminal (101), and
more particularly, into E-mail text data or FAX text
data. The formatted text data is returned to the
mobile terminal (101) in real time and edited on the
mobile terminal as needed. Thereafter, the E-mail text
data or FAX text data is transferred to the speech
control host unit (108) and transmitted. In this
system, the mobile terminal (101) does not require any
advanced speech recognition environment and can have a
speech recognition function having a practical accuracy
at a low cost. The mobile terminal (101) can also be
equipped with an E-mail/FAX generation/transmission
function based on the speech recognition result.

Abstract: A self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine (1) is provided with a single channel network (300) for serial communication of digital data messages between programmable microprocessors (215, 218) in a multi-master configuration. The messages are encoded according to an advanced serial communications protocol and are available to all microprocessors (215, 218). The network comprises an optical transmission network with an active starpoint (230) and plastic optical fibres (231), which link the nodes which lay physically far away from each other. An RS232 socket, which is linked to the network (300), enables loading of data and programs to the microprocessors (215, 218). Thus is obtained a reliable and flexible control system for the machine settings, which comprise on-road and off-road (harvesting) parameters. The introduction of a wide range of automatic control routines simplifies to a large extent the tasks of the operator during operation. The machine status sensors comprise a crop flow sensor (192/193/194), whereof the signal can be used to automatically change the machine settings when the harvesting machine is travelled on head land or to adapt its ground speed when excessive grain losses are measured while harvesting.

Abstract: A power control system in combination with a
three-phase AC motor (2) coupled to a water pump (1) enables
the operation of the motor at speeds up to 10,800
RPM so as to provide improved pumping capacity with
a smaller motor and smaller pump. The control
system (7) supplies AC power to the motor with a
frequency of the power being increased at a first
high rate up to a frequency at which pump pressure
is about equal to a value at which water is being
pumped from the outlet pipe (4) of the pump.
Thereafter, AC power frequency is increased to the
second, slower rate up to a maximum operating
frequency of the motor. During the time that
frequency of the AC power is being increased, motor
current is continuously monitored and compared to a
maximum allowable current. If monitored current
exceeds allowable current, the frequency of
operation is decreased until monitored current is
less than the allowable current. Thereafter,
frequency is again increased so long as monitored
current is less than allowable current. Preferably,
the allowable current is set to maintain operation
of the motor at about its pullout torque level
throughout the range of operation.

Abstract: Interactive Program Guide (IPG) data for
television is delivered to integrated receiver-decoders
(IRDs) (130) in a decoder population via,
for example, a satellite network (110,120). The IPG
data provides scheduling information for global and
local programming services which are carried via the
satellite network as well as another network such as
a CATV network (150) or a terrestrial broadcast
network. Each IRD (130) is assigned to an IPG
region using unit addressing. At the IRD (130), IPG
data is filtered so that only the global data (400)
and the region-specific data (405, 410, 415) for the
IRD's IPG region is retained and processed by the
IRD. Channel map data is also delivered to the IRDs
so that bundles of IRD data can be filtered out
using firmware filtering (185) to discard program
sources that are not present in the channel map.
The IRD data which is retained after filtering is
used to provide scheduling information via an on-screen
display (190, 195). A preferred source may
be designated when there are duplicative channels on
the different networks.

Abstract: A redundant sensor monitoring system tracks sensor miscomparisons and
automatically reverts to valid sensors as required. Equivalent parameters (i.e. outputs)(30A,30B) of
redundant sensors (11A,11B,11C) are compared. Out of tolerance comparisons are detected and input to
a dynamic debounce routine (32). A debounce routine generates debounced parameter
miscompare signals as a function of the magnitude and frequency of the
miscomparisons. After the debounce step, all miscomparing parameters are considered
invalid unless a parameter from another sensor confirms that one of the miscomparing
parameters are valid. When one or more important parameters from a specific sensor
are set invalid the entire sensor is set invalid. The debounce routine automatically clears
each debounced parameter miscompare signal when the parameters cease to
miscompare for a dynamically determined period. An autoreversion scheme is used to
automatically deselect invalid sensors and revert to alternate sensors based on the sensor
valid flag.

Abstract: Sensors measure actual values in the system. These are processed in the controller with the desired values, via a digital, microprocessor-controlled bus system. Actual pressure value is measured in the hydraulic system, and/or magnitudes are derived from it. As an alternative to transfer into the bus system within a controller cycle of the microprocessor control bus system, the values are supplied directly to a computer component of the controller. Preferred features: A change over unit monitors actual values of pressure and/or derived magnitudes. On exceeding a preset desired value, change over occurs from current- to preset desired value within a controller cycle. Changeover is stepped or alternatively ramped. The change over unit includes a differentiator and amplifier forming pressure gradient values weighted with a factor Pv. The signal is added to the actual value of pressure and a comparator compares the result with a limiting value. On exceeding this threshold, the desired value of pressure is changed to a new value. The changeover device is controlled by a trigger signal. Changeover is effected in a single signal control cycle. The trigger signal is produced by sensors externally to the control unit, by direct comparison of pressure and/or volumetric flow with threshold(s). Sensors participate in the bus system and signal the controller directly through it. The threshold value is pre-transmitted to the sensors, before the start of the control cycle. The trigger is a binary signal. Change over is triggered directly in the controller microprocessor, by the trigger signal edge. The arrangement controls the hydraulic spindle drive of a pressure injection molding machine.
