Abstract: A gaming machine that is provided with an outlet for paying out gaming
media has a receiver for paying-out the gaming media, the receiver being disposed
forward of the outlet. The receiver is illuminated so was to permit the player to view
the gaming media that has been collected in the receiver, whereby the amount thereof
readily can be confirmed. Illumination of the receiver is achieved from within the
gaming machine, the illumination being emitted from the outlet for paying the
gaming media. Thus, as the gaming media is paid out, a glistening effect that is
entertaining and visually pleasing is created. Illumination of the receiver, which may
be in the form of a receiver tray, is effected, in one form of the invention, by an
internal source of illumination that also illuminates the front panel of the gaming
machine. Light is propagated through a transmission element to the receiver. In a
preferred form, a further light source is disposed behind the chute via which the
gaming media is provided to the outlet. Depending upon the location of the further
light source with respect to the chute, multiple reflections are employed within the
chute to deliver the light to the outlet. The coloration of the light that is delivered to
the outlet may be controlled by the further light source itself or a colored
transmission element. This permits interesting decorative coloration schemes to be
effected, thereby raising the player's interest in playing the game.

Abstract: Bekannte Vorrichtungen bei einer Steppdeckenherstellung beinhalten fast
ausschließlich den Nähprozeß ohne die Separation der unterschiedlichen
Materialien zu beachten. Lösungen zur Separation arbeiten so, daß eine
Vorzerkleinerung des Ausgangsmaterials erfolgt und über bekannte textiltechnische
Wirkprinzipien die Abtrennung wie z.B. bei der Krempel erfolgt. Neben dem extrem
hohen technischen Aufwand ist das Trennergebnis nicht ausreichend, da zu viele
Stoffstücke in das Füllmaterial gelangen. 
     Der beim Einfassen der Steppdecke an sich anfallende Randstreifen (6b) wird
direkt an einem Näharbeitsplatz (1) abgesaugt und eine Materialtrennung in einem
Diffusor (27) erreicht. Zur Trennung der Materialfraktionen sind ein
Stoffstreifenbehälter (31) sowie ein Füllmaterialsack (35) mit einem
Transportventilator (34) gekoppelt. Der Trennvorgang wird über Lichtschranken 4,
17 und 18 überwacht und auch gesteuert. Durch einen zusätzlichen Klemmarm (11)
sowie einen Gabelarm (25) mit Gabelzinken (26) wird eine nahezu vollständige
Materialtrennung erreicht. Ein Trennrohr (28a) und (28b) dient der Aufnahme von
langen Randstreifen (6b). 
     Das Hauptanwendungsgebiet liegt in Steppdecken herstellenden Unternehmen.
Auch für die Matratzenfertigung ist diese Lösung nutzbar. Weitere
Anwendungsgebiete liegen in der Aufbereitung von Randstreifen mit unterschiedlichen
Materialfraktionen.

Abstract: The input signal is transformed into the frequency domain
and then subdivided into bands corresponding to different frequency
ranges. Adaptive thresholds are applied to the data from each
frequency band separately. Thus the short-term band-limited energies
are tested for the presence or absence of a speech signal. The
adaptive threshold values are independently updated for each of the
signal paths, using a histogram data structure to accumulate long-term
data representing the mean and variance of energy within the
respective frequency band. Endpoint detection is performed by a state
machine that transitions from the speech absent state to the speech
present state, and vice versa, depending on the results of the threshold
comparisons. A partial speech detection system handles cases in
which the input signal is truncated.

Abstract: A camera (10) which powers up in a default fixed-focus mode and has
a capability whereby the photographer can select an auto-focus mode. The
camera (10) includes a lens (14), a shutter (12) and a motor (29) for moving
the lens (14) and for opening the shutter (12). A CCD (15), electrically
interconnected to an analog to digital signal converter (21), receives image
data and transforms the data to analogs for transmission to the converter
where a digital output signals is generated. The digital signal is electrically
transmitted to a processor (25) which is electrically connected to the motor
(29). In the camera (10) default fixed focus mode, a first control algorithm
(100) facilitates a process wherein the processor (25) generates an electrical
signal to cause the motor (29) to move the lens (14) directly to a control
position. To elect the auto-focus mode of camera operation, the
photographer depresses a button (31) and thereby selects a process which
functions in accordance with the steps of a second control algorithm (200)
wherein the processor (25) generates an electrical signal to cause the motor
(29) to move the lens (14) past a focal point, and a second signal to cause
the lens (14) to backstep to the focal point. When the auto mode is selected,
an icon appears on a data liquid crystal display (LCD) (38) to indicate that
auto focus mode is selected.
