Patent EP-0469301-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ISHII HISAO
IPC: H03J7/26
Filed: 1991-06-27
Abstract: In a signal-strength-peaking detecting circuit, tuning frequencies by a tuning circuit are periodically varied. Wide band seek is performed according to a signal level of the varied frequencies. When the signal level is greater than a predetermined value, a fine tuning circuit varies tuning frequencies to perform narrow band seek. Further, change of signal levels is detected during narrow band seek to decide whether the peak of the signal level is trapezoidal or mount-like. When the peak is decided to be mount-like, the maximum value is used as the peak as it is. On the other hand, when the peak is decided to be trapezoidal, the central point of an upper side of the trapezoid as an optimum peak.

Abstract: There is provided a vocal display device comprising memory means (110;210;310;410;510;610) in which vocal data, which indicates the requisite characteristics of vocals, and a current lyric position indicator (130;230;330;430;530;630), which indicates the current position in the lyric, are correlated with music data and stored; vocal data reading means (120;220;320;420;520;620) which references said memory means (110;210;310;410;510;610) and reads vocal data; current lyric position indicator reading means (130;230;330;430;530;630) which references said memory means (110;210;310;410;510;610) and reads the current lyric position indicator; and image control means (140;240;340;440;540;640) which controls the visual display medium (150;250;350;450;550;650) in such a way that, on receipt of output from said vocal data reading means (120;220;320;420;520;620) and said current lyric position indicator reading means (130;230;330;430;530;630), it will display each block of vocal data on screen in advance of the corresponding music while at the same time indicating the lyric position within that block in time with the music. This device displays not only lyrics but also data useful for the enhancement of the singer's presentation such as the strength of the vocals and the pitch. Moreover, the strength and basic frequency of an actual vocal rendition can be detected and compared with the stored vocal data.

Abstract: A method is provided by this invention wherein information needed for indexing or routing of facsimile images transmitted by standard facsimile means using CCITT protocols can be carried in the image in a form which does not interfere with conventional facsimile operation. This indexing information is carried by a pseudo bar code imbedded in the first line or lines of the image. The bar code is machine generated from operator input via a keyboard, and as such is at maximum resolution, without skew, and without scanner sampling errors. The use of multiple lines provides a bar code pattern which can be read by normal bar code reading means. This invention also includes means for extraction of the pseudo bar code from the facsimile image so that its existence is totally transparent to the users.

Abstract: A urethane polymer having free carboxyl groups on the backbone of the polymer and terminal methacrylate groups is prepared by (1) reacting a mixture of at least two aliphatic diols and an aliphatic dihydroxy mono- or dicarboxylic acid with an excess of an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic diisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst to produce an isocyanate-terminated urethane polymer and (2) reacting the terminal isocyanate groups of the product of step (1) with an aliphatic monohydroxy methacrylate. The polymer can be used in photopolymerizable compositions for making tack-free flexographic printing plates.

Abstract: A film composite has a thin flexible polymeric backing bearing a layer of adhesive which is an acrylic emulsion polymer that is resistant to migratable monomeric plasticizer. A preferred adhesive is a copolymer of ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. Even though it may be nontacky or lightly tacky, it adheres under fingertip pressure to, and can remain permanently bonded to, highly plasticized substrates such as vinyl films containing migratable monomeric plasticizers. Such substrates include vinyl coated papers, fabrics, and scrims. Useful backings include vinyl, polyurethane, and polyester films.

Abstract: This invention provides self-clocking glyph shape codes for encoding digital data (35) in the shapes of glyphs (36) that are suitable for printing on hardcopy recording media. Advantageously, the glyphs (36) are selected so that they tend not to degrade into each other when they are degraded and/or distorted as a result, for example, of being photocopied, transmitted via facsimile, and/or scanned-in to an electronic document processing system. Moreover, for at least some applications, the glyphs (36) desirably are composed of printed pixel patterns containing nearly the same number of ON pixels and nearly the same number of OFF pixels, such that the code that is rendered by printing such glyphs (36) on substantially uniformly spaced centers appears to have a generally uniform texture. In the case of codes printed at higher spatial densities, this texture is likely to be perceived as a generally uniform gray tone. Binary image processing and convolution filtering techniques for decoding such codes also are disclosed, but this application focuses on the codes.

Abstract: An object, such as a robot, is located at an initial state in a finite state space area and moves under the control of a unsupervised neural network model. The network instructs the object to move in one of several directions from the initial state. Upon reaching another state, the model again instructs the object to move in one of several directions. These instructions continue until either: a) the object has completed a cycle by ending up back at a state it has been to previously during this cycle, or b) the object has completed a cycle by reaching the goal state. If the object ends up back at a state it has been to previously during this cycle, the neural network model ends the cycle and immediately begins a new cycle from the present location. When the object reaches the goal state, the neural network model learns that this path is productive towards reaching the goal state, and is given delayed reinforcement in the form of a "reward". Upon reaching a state, the neural network model calculates a level of satisfaction with its progress towards reaching the goal state. If the level of satisfaction is low, the neural network model is more likely to override what has been learned thus far and deviate from a path known to lead to the goal state to experiment with new and possibly better paths. If the level of satisfaction is high, the neural network model is much less likely to experiment with new paths. The object is guaranteed to eventually find the best path to the goal state from any starting location, assuming that the level of satisfaction does not exceed a threshold point where learning ceases.

The preselection element (2) has desired value stipulation sites, which form physical transition sites together with interrogation elements of the base element. Each of the six side faces of the preselection element (2) are assigned different stipulated desired values and/or functions. The setting means                                1 according to the invention can be used universally in conjunction with minimum space requirement. It offers simple and manifold setting possibilities, and economically replaces a large part of known setting means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switch includes a fixed contact having a first conductor portion (4a) connected to a terminal (5), a second conductor portion (4e) having a stationary contact (3), and a third conductor portion (4d). The third conductor portion is disposed on the side of the other end of a moving contact (1) to which a traveling contact is not mounted with respect to a position of the stationary contact, and on the side opposed to the terminal. The first conductor portion is disposed above a contact surface of contacts at a contact closing time, and is disposed below a contact surface of the traveling contact at a contact opening time. A part of the first conductor portion facing a surface of the traveling contact at an opening time of the contacts is coated with an insulator (15). Thereby, it is possible to provide an excellent current-limiting performance since an entire current path of the fixed contact generates electromagnetic force to stretch an arc (A) on the side of the terminal.
