Patent EP-0729919-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ONISHI MASASHI
IPC: C03B37/03
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: An optical fiber (200) is rolled by a swing motion of a swing
guide roller (220) in order to impart a predetermined twist
to it effectively, and its polarization dispersion is
suppressed equivalently as in a perfectly circular concentric
optical fiber. A method of manufacturing such an optical
fiber (200) is also provided. As a swing guide roller (220) swings,
the optical fiber (200) is rolled on its roller surface, so that a
clockwise twist and a counterclockwise twist are imparted to
the optical fiber (200) alternately. At this time, the optical
fiber is fitted in a V-shaped narrow groove (250) formed at the
central portion of the roller surface of a next-stage first
stationary guide roller (231) provided just beside the swing
guide roller (220). Rolling of the optical fiber (200) on the
roller surface of the first stationary guide roller (231) is
suppressed, thereby helping smooth rolling of the optical
fiber (200) on the roller surface of the swing guide roller (220).
As a result, a twist can be imparted to the optical fiber (200)
highly efficiently in accordance with the swing speed of the
swing guide roller (220).

Abstract: A method of automatically identifying drop words in a document image without performing
OCR. First, the document image is analyzed to identify word equivalence classes, each of which
represents at least one word of the multiplicity of words included in the document. Second, for each
word equivalence class, the likelihood that it is not a drop word is determined. Third, document
length is analyzed to determine whether the document is short. For a short document, the number of
word equivalence classes identified as drop words based upon their likelihood is proportional to
document length. For long documents, a fixed number of word equivalence classes are identified as
drop words based upon the likelihood that they are not drop words.

Abstract: In a speech coding device for coding an input speech (So) with
an AbS (Analysis by Synthesis) system, a vocal tract prediction
coefficient generating circuit (201) produces a vocal tract prediction
coefficient (a) from one of the input speech signal (So) and a locally
reproduced synthetic speech signal. A speech synthesizing circuit
(206) produces a synthetic speech signal (Sij) by using codes stored
in an excitation codebook (203) in one-to-one correspondence with
indexes, and the prediction coefficient (a). A comparing circuit
(207) compares the synthetic speech signal (Sij) and input speech
signal (So) to thereby output an error signal (eij). A perceptual
weighting circuit (208) weights the error signal (eij) to thereby
output a perceptually weighted signal (wij). A codebook index
selecting circuit (211) selects an optimal index (I) for the excitation
codebook (203) out of at least the weighted signal (wij), and feeds
the optimal index (I) to the codebook (203). A power envelope
estimating circuit (210) produces power envelope signals from the
synthetic speech signal and input speech signal, and compares the
power envelope signals to thereby estimate an error signal (Rij)
representative of a difference between the envelope signals. The
selecting circuit (211) selects the optimal index (I) on the basis of
the error signal (Rij) and weighted signal (wij). The device is
capable of reproducing a synthetic speech faithfully matching an
input original speed signal without deteriorating perceptual
naturalness.

Abstract: A method facilitates transfer of control from normal emulation in an
emulation system to an asynchronous signal handler in the emulation
system. A branch-target register is globally allocated with an address used
to transfer control to the asynchronous signal handler. A predicate register
is globally allocated to serve as a Boolean flag. Within each of a plurality of
blocks of code within the emulation system there is placed a transfer of
control operation. The transfer of control operation uses as a predicate the
globally allocated predicate register. The transfer of control operation
branches to an address stored in the globally allocated branch-target
register. Where allowed in the architecture, a prefetch hint for the transfer
of control operation can indicate the control operation is not to be prefetched.
The control operation is placed in the block of code a point at which state
may be recovered, generally at the end of the block of code.

Abstract: In einem Stereodecoder erfolgt mit Hilfe eines Demodulators die Kanaltrennung, um Signale für Stereobetrieb zu gewinnen. Bei geringer Empfangsfeldstärke erfolgt in dem Demodulator für jeden Kanal eine gleitende Umschaltung auf Monobetrieb. Hierzu befindet sich in einem Signalweg zwischen Eingang und Ausgang des Demodulators ein Schalter, der mit einem PWM-Signal angesteuert wird, dessen Tastverhältnis bestimmt, ob ausschließlich Monobetrieb, ausschließlich Stereobetrieb oder eine Mischform stattfindet. Zur Erzeugung des PWM-Signals wird das Feldstärkensignal mit einem Dreiecksignal verglichen. Um herstellerseitig eine Justierung der Umschaltpunkte zwischen Stereo- und Monobetrieb in Abhängigkeit der Amplitude des Feldstärkensignals vornehmen zu können, enthält die Vorrichtung zwei Grenzwert-Speicherregister (22, 24), in denen von außen her digitale Grenzwertsignale eingestellt werden. Diese Grenzwertsignale werden von einem Digital-Analog-Umsetzer (26, 28) in Analogspannungen umgesetzt, die einen oberen und einen unteren Grenzwert für das Dreiecksignal festlegen und damit den Verlauf des Dreiecksignals und somit auch das Tastverhältnis des PWM-Signals in Abhängigkeit des Feldstärkensignals bestimmen.

Abstract: Ein Signal (S) weist zu jedem Zeitpunkt einen Wert auf.
Die Werte können sich mit der Zeit verändern und innerhalb
oder außerhalb eines festgelegten Grundwertebereichs
(GWMIN, GWMAX) angeordnet sein. Das Signal (S)
wird in einem Verfahren verarbeitet, in dem beim Auftreten
bestimmter Werte des Signals (S) außerhalb des
Grundwertebereichs (GWMIN, GWMAX) bestimmte, den Werten
des Signals (S) zugeordnete Verfahrensschritte (43, 49)
ausgeführt werden. Hierbei kann es vorkommen, daß die
Ausführung der bestimmten Verfahrensschritte (43, 49)
in unerwünschter Weise aufgrund von unplausiblen Werten
des Signals (S) ausgelöst wird. Ein derartiges unplausibles
Signalverhalten soll schnell erkannt werden und
die unerwünschten Auswirkungen des unplausiblen Signalverhaltens
frühzeitig vermindert bzw. ganz verhindert
werden. Hierfür werden aus dem Signal (S) als Dominanzwert
(DW) ein relativ häufig auftretender Wert des Signals
(S) sowie ein Häufigkeitswort (HW) ermittelt, der
die Häufigkeit des Auftretens von in der Umgebung des
Dominanzwertes (DW) gelegenen Worten des Signals (S)
angibt. Die Ausführung der den bestimmten Werten des
Signals (S) zugeordneten Verfahrensschritte (43, 49)
wird dann zusätzlich von der Größe der Abweichung des
Dominanzwertes (DW) von dem Grundwertebereich (GWMIN,
GWMAX) abhängig gemacht, wenn der Häufigkeitswert (HW)
wenigstens eine vorbestimmte Größe (H1, H2) erreicht.
Ein bevorzugtes Anwendungsgebiet der Erfindung sind
elektronische Steuerungs- und Regelungssysteme in Fahrzeugen.
