Abstract: Ce système de radiodiffusion comprend un dispositif qui compare les éléments d'une émission à diffuser avec une base de données d'éléments connus afin d'émettre, avec les éléments de l'émission, des données correspondantes à ces éléments d'émission. Un système correspondant de réception mémorise ces données et affiche, au gré de l'utilisateur, celles correspondantes aux éléments de l'émission. L'utilisateur enregistre sélectivement ces données sur une carte d'enregistrement magnétique pour obtenir un coupon électronique ou à d'autres fins. Il peut choisir plusieurs modes de fonctionnement, et ces données peuvent servir de coupon électronique ou à commander des appareils associés, à produire un signal d'alarme, ou à d'autres utilisations. La diffusion de ces données assiciées commence avant celle de l'émission ce qui permet de les afficher sur un récepteur au début de cette émission. Ce récepteur est connectable à des terminaux distants qui peuvent collecter des informations sur les habitudes de l'utilisateur concernant le stockage et la réception des données radiodiffusées. Ce récepteur constitue un module connectable à des afficheurs de tailles différentes, et il s'auto-configure pour que les signaux qu'il envoie à l'afficheur soient appropriés à la taille de ce dernier.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système permettant à des auditeurs d'émissions radio d'utiliser un téléphone pour se connecter à une base de données contenant des descriptions audio préenregistrées (par exemple, du texte parlé et/ou de la musique) de diffusions de la station de radio. La base de données est indexée en fonction de l'horaire des émissions de la station radio ou d'une liste de diffusion, de sorte que l'utilisateur puisse choisir une description audio particulière et qui l'intéresse (par exemple, la chanson en cours de diffusion, la dernière chanson diffusée, etc.). L'écoute de la description audio par l'intermédiaire du téléphone permet à l'auditeur de s'assurer que la sélection demandée est correcte. En utilisant les commandes clavier du téléphone, l'auditeur peut passer une commande d'achat par téléphone de la diffusion choisie.

Abstract: A rotationally symmetric timepiece wherein time information is displayed along an axis that is marked in 13 locations with axially symmetric markers (17, 17a, 17b, 17c). The 13 markers divide the axis into 12 sections of preferably equal length as well as mark the ends of the axis. Time information is displayed by one or more indicators (18, 19) which move along the axis at controlled rates. To display hour information, an indicator (18), which encircles the axis, is moved along the axis at a speed such that it travels the full length of the axis in a 12-hour period. At the end of this period, the indicator (18) is preferably reset back to ist starting position (17a). To display minute and second information, two additional indicators are used. The minute indicator (19) is made to travel the length of the axis every hour before being reset, while the second indicator travels the length of the axis over a period of one minute before it is reset. The indicators (18, 19) are of different diameters so they do not interfere with each other as they travel along the axis.

Abstract: An acoustic cell (1) includes multiple acoustic cavities (11, 12, 13) fluidly coupled together. At least two of the acoustic cavities have unequal lengths and cross sections. End segments of the acoustic cell (1) are uniformly cylindrically shaped or conically shaped. A driver transducer (30) at one end of the acoustic cell (1) and a receiver transducer (40) at another end of the acoustic cell (1) are acoustically isolated from the acoustic cell (1). A pair of preferably metallic isolation diaphragms (20a, 20b) transmit acoustic signals to and from the transducers (30, 40) without significantly altering the phase-frequency characteristics of the acoustic signals. The acoustic cell (1) operates as an acoustic resonator operating at frequencies lower than any possible self-resonance frequencies of the isolation diaphragms (20a, 20b) or the driver and receiver transducers (30, 40). When a binary gas is flowed through the cell, a processor (100) detects a resonant frequency of the gas within the cell (1) to determine a composition of the gas.

Abstract: A method and system for editing words that have been misrecognized.
The system allows a speaker to specify a number of alternative words to be displayed
in a correction window by resizing the correction window. The system also displays
the words in the correction window in alphabetical order. A preferred system
eliminates the possibility, when a misrecognized word is respoken, that the respoken
utterance will be again recognized as the same misrecognized word. The system,

Abstract: Data about a plurality of curved surfaces which are
expressed in various forms are inputted (S1), and based on
the inputted data, the curved surfaces are defined (S2, S3)

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coding an image comprising (at least) two regions ( e.g.,  a facial region and a background region) which are to be coded with different quantization error parameters ( e.g.,  quantizer step sizes), wherein the respective quantization error parameters are determined with use of a feed-forward rate control technique. Initial quantization error parameters are assigned to each region, and the overall bit rate which would result for the coding of the given frame is computed based on these assigned quantization error parameters. The computed bit rate is compared to a given bit rate constraint which may, for example, represent a limitation of a transmission channel. Based on the result of this comparison, one or both of the assigned quantization error parameters are adjusted, thereby resulting in different quantization error parameters for the two regions. For example, if the computed bit rate exceeds the given bit rate constraint, at least one of the quantization error parameters is advantageously adjusted in a direction which results in the use of fewer coding bits ( e.g.,  a coarser quantization). If the given bit rate constraint exceeds the computed bit rate, at least one of the quantization error parameters is advantageously adjusted in a direction which results in the use of more coding bits ( e.g.,  a finer quantization resulting in a higher coding quality). Finally, each of the regions is coded based on the correspondingly assigned quantization error parameters.
