Patent EP-0616464-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UENO ISAMU C O CANON KABUSHIKI
IPC: H04N5/347
Filed: 1994-03-14
Abstract: A signal processor with a simplified circuit configuration provides an improved processing speed and can be realized of small size and at inexpensive cost. The signal processor includes signal holding means for holding output signals from plural signal sources (S1 - S4), and signal mixing means (M31 - M34) for mixing at least two signals among the plural signals held to output plural mixed signals. Since the mixed signals are less than the signal sources in number, the small number of signal lines can lead to an increased processing speed. Then the mixed signals corresponding to discrete signals from plural signal sources enables processing without substantially destroying information.

Abstract: A security node disposed in the telecommunications network connecting calling and called parties transforms information (which can be voice, data, facsimile, video and other types of calls or messages) encrypted in a first format to (a) encrypted information in a different format or to (b) non-encrypted information, and vice-versa. The node is accessible from any location connected to the network. By routing calls or messages originated by the calling party and destined for the called party via the security node, and providing appropriate control signals to the node, the information may be encrypted only over a portion of the transmission path between the parties, and clear over the remainder of the transmission path. Alternatively, the information may be encrypted in different portions of the path using different encryption algorithms. This arrangement enables the parties to obtain relatively secure communications even if only one party has a security device at the originating or terminating end, or if the parties have security devices using different handshaking protocols and encryption algorithms.

Abstract: In a PVD table of a management region on the disc, a disc identifier 1 that represents the type of the data recording format of the disc, a number-of-disc-sides identifier 2 that represents whether the disc is a single-sided disc or a double-sided disc, and a disc side identifier 3 that represents whether the reproducing disc is side A or side B of a double-sided disc. A disc identifier 4 that represents the type of the data recording format of the file is recorded in a file (n) table including management information of the file. The reproducing apparatus reads the disc identifiers 1 and 4 from the PVD table and the file (n) table and determines whether or not the disc and the file are reproducible. In addition, the reproducing apparatus reads the number-of-disc-sides identifier 2 from the PVD table and determines whether or not the disc is a double-sided disc or a single-sided disc. When the disc is a double-sided disc, the reproducing apparatus determines whether the reproducing side is side A or side B.

Abstract: A pass-thru cassette magazine performs several functions beyond vertically holding a plurality of data cassettes in a position randomly accessible to a data storage subsystem picker assembly, including locking the data cassettes within corresponding storage cells in either an import or export position when the magazine is not interfaced to the storage subsystem (that is during handling by an operator). The "locked" position indicates that a data cassette cannot be removed from the magazine without a force of approximately one kilogram or greater. When a magazine is interfaced to the storage subsystem, the magazine is interlocked thereto such that the magazine cannot be removed without releasing the interlock. While the magazine is interlocked, the lock on the data cassettes is disabled so that the data cassettes can be freely picked by the picker assembly or removed or inserted by an operator. If a data cassette is in a position other than import or export, a potential problem exists and the interlock mechanism release is disabled thus requiring all data cassettes to be properly positioned before the magazine could be removed from the storage subsystem.

Abstract: Drive apparatus (10) for a dynamoelectric machine (M) for installation in an appliance (A) to provide a wide range of programmable features. In the preferred embodiment, the drive apparatus includes a machine drive (12) operatively connected to the dynamoelectric machine. The machine drive includes a microcontroller (14) having as a first and program memory (16) a ROM (read only memory) defining a processor module (13) for controlling machine operation during different appliance operating conditions, and as a second and data memory (18) an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) for storing machine and system operating characteristic information. Multi-position switches (SW1-SWN) are connected to the processor module. The switch functions are determined by a program stored in the program memory as further developed by data stored in the data memory. The switch settings, in combination with the program control, establish operating characteristics for the system. This allows an appliance manufacturer, for example, to select one set of functions or operating characteristics for the machine, and the valve of the function selected by making one switch setting, while another different set of functions or operating characteristics, and other independent function valves are provided by making a different switch setting, or by a data memory change for the selected switch setting. The characteristics defined by the switches can be changed by changing the data in the data memory.

Abstract: A direct current (dc) overvoltage, pre-regulation circuit (25) regulates dc voltage supplied to a cable television line amplifier (130). The circuit provides overvoltage protection while permitting continuous operation of the line amplifier (130). The circuit opens the input to the downstream continuous voltage regulation circuit and cyclically charges a filter storage capacitor (30) by periodic applications of the un-clipped voltage. The repeated switching regulates the dc voltage such that operation is sustained during periods of overvoltage that would normally shut down conventional circuits. No overall feedback is required to control the active device.

Abstract: An apparatus for fusing images to a sheet. A fuser device is provided using a sealed fusing member (72) containing a substantially pure fluid substance or a mixture of substantially pure substances. Heat is applied, either internally or externally, to maintain the fluid in a two phase (liquid and vapor) condition. When a sheet (48) having an unfused image thereon is fed between the fusing member (72) and a pressure member (74), the heat is transferred to the sheet to fuse the image. As a result of the two phase (liquid and vapor ) state of the fluid within the fusing member there is a very uniform and efficient transfer of heat to the sheet. Thus, there is provided a device which maintains a very uniform temperature along its axis and avoids hot spots and overheating of certain portions of the fusing member due to variations in the heat source and in the transfer efficiency of the fusing member.

Abstract: An appliance such as a dishwasher and a control therefore in which the control comprises multiple parallel loads, including a motor (36). The motor and the other loads are connected to one side of a power source by a motor relay (46), which is controlled by a processor (26). All the loads, except the motor, are connected to the other side of a power source by semiconductor switches (64-68) with each load having a corresponding switch. The motor has an unswitched connection (38) to the other side of the power source. The power to all the loads, including the motor, is controlled by the motor relay (46). If one of the switches fails in such a way that the circuit for one of the loads is closed, then the load will be shut off when the motor relay is opened to shut off power to the motor. Thus, it is possible to prevent the failed load circuit from operating during the entire wash cycle.
