Title: Capillary splice and method
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1988-07-01
Abstract: An optical fiber splice and the method of forming 
it are described wherein a hollow cylindrical glass 
member (10) is provided, the member having a bore (12) along the 
longitudinal axis thereof. Fluid at a pressure in 
excess of ambient pressure is provided to the bore 
while the member is subjected to localized heating of 
the member to the softening point of the glass. In 
this manner, a bubble (26) is formed within the member bore 
under the influence of said heating and pressure. For 
more uniform bubbles, the member may be rotated (18) about 
its longitudinal axis while it is subjected to said 
fluid pressure and heating. The splice member is 
subsequently formed by severing the cylindrical member 
at the location of the bubbles (26, 28). Optical fibers may be 
inserted into the ends of the splicing member and 
cemented in place.

Title: Speech synthesis
IPC: G10L13/08
Filed: 1988-11-18
Abstract: Coded 
text is converted to phonetic data to drive a synthesis 
filter. Accent data are also obtained to derive a pitch 
contour for a variable pitch excitation source. Recognition of the 
beginning of a paragraph causes a pitch contour of higher 
pitch than the pitch at a later part of the 
paragraph. The initial pitch falls following each subgroup into which 
phrases are divided. In another aspect of the invention, accents 
within a phrase are assigned pitch values which are high 
for the first accent, less high for the last; and 
the remainder alternate between higher and lower lesser values.

Title: Air exit for creating a displacement-flow with poor turbulence
IPC: F24F13/06
Filed: 1989-03-10
Abstract: To create a displacement-flow with low turbulence, use is made of an air exit with a cylindrical or polygonal external housing (1). In the casing of the external housing (1), there are arranged nozzles (2) which are distributed over the housing circumference. Inside the external casing (1), an internal housing (3) is arranged, the casing of which consists of a perforated metal sheet or sieve. The internal housing (3) surrounds a core space (5) which is acted upon via a connection piece (6). In order to make the jets emerging from the nozzles (2) of low turbulence and emerge with low induction into the space, and to be able to vary in a simple manner the direction of the jets, there is mounted on the end side of the external housing (1) facing away from the connection piece at least one flap (8) which is pivotable about a pin (7). As the nozzles (2) are arranged in a plane close to the flap (8), the direction of the jets emerging from the nozzles (2) is influenced depending upon the position of the flap, as according to the degree of opening of the flap (8) a part flow by volume enters into the space directly, which influences the direction in which the jets emerge from the nozzles (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Configurable correlation windows for the direct measurement of differential field distortion
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1989-07-28
Abstract: Area correlation of images or regions of 
images may be used directly to measure field distortion 
such as rotation, expansion, or shear, once translation 
disparities are removed between a pair of images. A 
method is disclosed for allowing relative field distor­
tions to be applied between a pair of image regions as 
they are correlated. In binocular stereo, the method 
enables measurement of elevation gradients and surface 
curvatures. In motion analysis, the method enables the 
direct measurement of flow field parameters, while in 
template matching, rotation and magnification may be 
measured without the necessity of multiple templates 
for the same object.

plurality of depth levels in the unknown borehole; at such 
depth levels in the unknown borehole, separating said 
measured unknown gamma ray energy spectrum into component 
parts attributable to each such selected radioactive tracer 
isotope disposed in each of said geometrical regions by 
comparing said measured unknown gamma ray energy spectrum 
with said one or more standard gamma ray energy spectra of 
said selected tracer elements taken with said tracer 
elements disposed in said geometrical regions in a standard 
borehole, and recording said component parts as a function

Title: Door locking arrangement
IPC: E05B63/04
Filed: 1989-11-08
Abstract: A clutch system for use in the door locking 
arrangement has a drive member (55), a latch actuating member (57) 
and a permutation lock reset member (49), the latch actuating 
member (57) and the permutation reset member (49) being disposed 
on either side of the drive member (55). The drive member (55) is 
operatively connected to the actuating means, for 
example a door knob or a lever handle (1), so that the drive 
member (55) drives the latch actuating member (57), to retract the 
latch member of the door locking arrangement, when a 
correct combination has been inserted into the 
permutation lock of the door locking arrangement. When 
an incorrect combination has been inserted, the drive 
member (55) drives the permutation lock reset member (49) to reset 
the permutation lock. A linkage operatively connects 
both the latch operating member (57) and the permutation lock 
reset member (49) to the control shaft (37) of the permutation 
lock. The linkage serves to operatively connect the 
control shaft (37) to the actuating means either through the 
drive member (55) and the latch actuating member (57) when the 
correct combination has been inserted, or through the 
drive means (55) and permutation lock resetting member (49) when 
an incorrect combination has been inserted. The linkage 
is symmetrically disposed so that only minor modifications 
are required to adapt the arrangement from an 
actuating means which rotates in a counter-clockwise 
direction to an actuating means which rotates in a 
clockwise direction.

Abstract: A storage management system for a memory 
card (10), which has a storage area (12) divided into 
clusters (14) having a predetermined storage 
capacity, manages the storage of information in each 
cluster (14). The storage area (12) includes a MAT 
(18) for indicating the relationship of ones of the 
clusters (14) in which a group of mutually associated 
information is to be stored, and a directory (16) for 
indicating one of the clusters (14) in which the head 
portion of the group of mutually associated 
information is to be stored. Either the MATs (18) or 
the directories (16) indicate whether or not the 
storage management system inhibits information from 
being written in or erased of the clusters (14) 
associated with the MATs (18) or the directories 
(16). The system further includes a directory or 
cluster table (300, 302) which indicates whether the 
clusters (14) specified by the MATs (18) are empty or 
occupied. The directory or cluster table (300, 302) 
is set up after searching the directories (16) to 
trace the MATs (18) associated with the directories 
(16) in use, prior to writing information in the 
memory card (10). In this way, image data is 
efficiently managed to improve reliability of the 
storage management system.
