Patent EP-0341692-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIKUCHI KENICHI
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 1989-05-10
Abstract: In a video camera having an automatic focusing function, a first sampling area in the center of an image sensed picture and a second sampling area around the first sampling area are set. Considering a case in which an auto-focus operation is carried out selecting the first sampling area as a focusing area, when the difference between the newest focus evaluating value and the maximum focus evaluating value becomes one-eighth or more of the maximum focus evaluating value, the second sampling area is selected as the focusing area, to carry out an auto-focus operation. Consequently, an auto-focus operation conforming to the state of an object is carried out. In addition, a priority area for exposure control is selected following selection of the focusing area. Thus, exposure relative to a main object is always maintained most suitably. Furthermore, even if the focus evaluating value has no distinct peak, the erroneous detection of the in-focus position can be prevented since the sampling area having a larger maximum value per unit area is selected as a focusing area.

Abstract: An optical connector ferrule comprises a capillary member (10), and a ferrule body (13). The capillary member is provided with a straight bore (10c) communicating from one end to the other end, and with a first slit (10a) and a second slit (10b), respectively, for communicating the straight bore to the external of the capillary member. An auxiliary optical fiber (11) is fixed in the straight bore of the capillary member, such that one end of the auxiliary optical fiber is aligned with the one end of the capillary member (10), and the other end of the auxiliary optical fiber is positioned on the central point of the first slit (10a) which is positioned on a side of the one end of the capillary member (10). An optical matching material (14) is filled from the first slit (10a) into a portion of the straight bore (10c) which is limited by the second slit (10b), thereby covering the inserted end of the auxiliary optical fiber (11). The capillary member (10) is fixed in the ferrule body (13). An optical fiber (15) is inserted from the second end into the capillary member (10) to be fixed in the straight bore (10c) thereof. In this structure, the optical matching material (14) does not propagate beyond the second slit. Therefore, the optical fiber (15) is stably adhered to the inner surface of the straight bore of the capillary member (10).

Abstract: A thermoelectric temperature control assembly for transferring heat to or from a heat sink (30) in a centrifuge of the type having a rotor (14), a temperature controlled vessel, and a housing (20, 22, 24, 26) enclosing the vessel (18). A plurality of thermoelectric devices (50, 52, 54) are mounted in an electrically and thermally nonconducting substrate (40) located between the vessel (18) and the heat sink (30) such that the upper and lower surfaces of the devices (50, 52, 54) are in direct thermal contact with the vessel (18) and heat sink (30) respectively. The weight of the vessel (18) lessens the thermal resistance of the thermal contacts, and this effect may be enhanced by providing mechanical means (19, 21), supported by the housing (20, 22, 24, 26) for pressing the vessel (18) downwardly against the devices (50, 52, 54).

Abstract: A procedure is described for cancellation of the echo produced in telephone connections with electrical time-variant characteristics such as for example those affected by phase roll. 
     The echo canceller obtained in accordance with the procedure which is the object of this invention produces an estimate of the echo signal by means of appropriate digital filtering of the signal originated by the far-end talker. The estimated echo is then subtracted from the actual echo. 
     Filtering is activated by an IIR digital filter (FTR) whose adaptive coefficients are updated by use of an adaptive algorithm based on decimation of the square error. The high convergence speed of said algorithm in the calculation of the coefficient correction step allows a correct estimate of the echo even in case of connections affected by phase roll.

Abstract: Disclosed is an adaptive analysis apparatus having a signal channel adapted to sense an acoustic signal of interest which includes noise and also having a plurality of reference channels adapted to sense such noise correlated with the noise on the signal channel. In the adaptive canceler of the appa­ratus, a pipelined approach is used wherein the reference signals are divided into two or more sections having concurrent weight adjustment. This architecture allows the speed of adaptive cancellation to be increased and/or the number of reference taps to be increased without loss of cancellation speed. Once a continuous stream of digital data has been established in this architecture, the speed of the adaptive processor is limited only by approximately the processing time of the slowest element. In the preferred embodiment of the adaptive analysis apparatus, the noise canceled signal is converted to the frequency domain in a Fast Fourier Transform device. A central processing unit (36) provides automatic analysis of the digital spectrum of the noise canceled signal based on a comparative analysis with predetermined reference data (66, 68, 70, 72) using statistical analysis criteria. In one embodiment, this reference data (66, 68, 70, 72) will be based on the prior analysis of a statistically sufficient sample of known devices under noise conditions similar to the noise conditions when the actual real-time analysis is to be performed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for electrophotographically producing high quality reproductions from an original document sheet which contains continuous tone (pictorial) and line-type information. The locations of the different content portions of the original are determined using a sonic digitizer that is integrated with the exposure platen. The document sheet is exposed onto each of two image sectors of the apparatus' photoconductor with the exposure for each adjusted according to the content type that sector is to reproduce. A screen image is illuminated upon the image sector used to reproduce the pictorial information. A selective erase light source driven using information obtained from the digitizing operation is used to selectively erase areas of each image sector that is not to be reproduced by such sector. The image sectors are developed and transferred in register onto a copy sheet to form a high quality reproduction having screened pictorial information and unscreened line-type information. The apparatus may have multiple color development stations to reproduce the information in color. In yet another embodiment of the invention, information such as black and white line-art may be reproduced in the color provided on a colored swatch or sample. In this embodiment both the line-art and color-separation exposures of the swatch are exposed upon the same area of each of at least two image sectors. The sectors are developed with differently colored toners and the images thereon transferred in register onto a copy sheet to provide reproduction of the line-art in the color of the swatch.
