Abstract: A speech synthesizing system using a redundancy-reduced waveform
database is disclosed. Each waveform of a sample set of voice segments
necessary and sufficient for speech synthesis is divided into pitch waveforms,
which are classified into groups of pitch waveforms closely similar to one
another. One of the pitch waveforms of each group is selected as a
representative of the group and is given a pitch waveform ID. The waveform
database at least comprises a pitch waveform pointer table each record of
which comprises a voice segment ID of each of the voice segments and pitch
waveform IDs the pitch waveforms of which, when combined in the listed
order, constitute a waveform identified by the voice segment ID and a pitch
waveform table of pitch waveform IDs and corresponding pitch waveforms.
This enables the waveform database size to be reduced. For each of pitch
waveforms the database lacks, one of the pitch waveform IDs adjacent to the
lacking pitch waveform ID in the pitch waveform pointer table is used without
deforming the pitch waveform.

Abstract: A method for the post-processing of digitally encoded
pictures in a picture sequence is proposed, which method
is provided in particular for editing processing. In the
method, the raw picture material is present in an encoded
form. For the purpose of accurate processing, the
pictures are first decoded. The new picture sequence is
encoded anew after the processing. The associated new
encoding operation is in this case controlled in such a
way that principally the same frame type (I,B,P) is used
as in the original encoding of the picture. For this
purpose, concrete measures are proposed for achieving
this aim as quickly as possible even after scene cuts.
Furthermore, an apparatus for carrying out the method and
an apparatus for the buffer-storage of decoded pictures
are proposed.

Abstract: To produce a pile fabric on a warp knitter, using pile sinkers and a single needle bed, the yarns are drawn into the guide needles to give one charged/one empty, with every other needle used for stitching. The number of pile sinkers is half the number of needles. Right side pile yarns are used, which are gripped by the pile sinkers together with the ground yarns, to be laid round the inactive needles and then cast off. Also claimed is a warp knitter where the guide needle bars (L1-L4) carry the yarns in a pattern of one charged/one empty, and controlled so that stitches are formed by alternate needles (2). A yarn feed for the right side pile yarn (13) has a control so that it is gripped over by the pile sinkers (22), to be laid round the inactive needles (2') and then cast off. The number of pile sinkers (22) is half the number of needles (2).

Abstract: The distance between a moving character and a
fixed character which are displayed in a pseudo-three-dimensional
space on a display monitor screen is calculated
by identifying one of polygons which make up the fixed character
and which contains a point of planar coordinates representing
the position of the moving character, and calculating
the distance between the moving character and the
polygon which has been identified. A polygon representing a
mark associated with the moving character is applied to a
plane of a polygon of the fixed character by determining a
normal vector which is normal to the plane of the polygon at
a predetermined position thereon, determining a first vector
contained in the plane of the polygon perpendicularly to the
normal vector, determining a second vector contained in the
plane of the polygon perpendicularly to both the normal vector
and the first vector, and determining the rotation matrix
from the normal matrix, the first matrix, and the second
matrix.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification device for an
internal combustion engine, a NO X  occluding and reducing
catalyst is disposed in the exhaust gas passage of an
engine. The NO X  occluding and reducing catalyst absorbs
NO X  in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas is at a lean air-fuel ratio and releases and
reduces NO X  when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is
at a rich air-fuel ratio. The air-fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst is detected by
an air-fuel ratio sensor disposed in the exhaust gas
passage downstream of the catalyst. When the air-fuel
ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst is
changed from a rich air-fuel ratio to a lean air-fuel
ratio, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out
from the catalyst stays at a stoichiometric air-fuel
ratio before it changes to a lean air-fuel ratio. The
length of the period in which the air-fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst stays at a
stoichiometric air-fuel ratio corresponds to the
magnitude of the ability of the NO X  occluding and
reducing catalyst as a reducing catalyst. Thus, by
measuring the length of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
period of the exhaust gas flowing out from the NO X 
occluding and reducing catalyst, the ability of the NO X 
occluding and reducing catalyst as a reducing catalyst
can be precisely evaluated.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting collision of
transmitted signals in a random-access, multiple-path
communication system utilizes a packet coding arrangement
where a transmitting transceiver terminal (12)
assembles a plurality of packets (34) into a coded
transmit block (40). Each transmit block (40) is coded
with an error detection code (42), or assigned time
slots, so that a routing controller (14) will discard an
entire transmit block if any of the packets are not
properly decoded. Each transmit block further includes
a self-addressed packet (44), wherein receipt of the
self-addressed packet by the transmitting terminal indicates
that no collision has occurred. Thus, the present
invention does not require any additional circuitry or
control of the routing controller, nor transmission of
an acknowledgement signal in order to detect collision
of transmitted signals.

Abstract: When decoding instructions of a program to be executed in a central processing unit (9) comprising pipelining facilities for fast instruction decoding, part of the decoding is executed or the decoding in pipelining units is prepared in a remapping unit (5) during loading a program into a program or primary memory (7) used by the central processor, the remapping or predecoding operation resulting in operation codes which can be very rapidly interpreted by the pipelining units of the central processor. Thus, the operation code field of an instruction is changed to include information on e.g. instruction length, jumps, parameters, etc., this information indicating the instruction length, whether it is a jump instruction or has a parameter etc. respectively, in a direct way that allows the use of simple combinatorial circuits in the pipelining units. This makes it possible to obtain a decoding of complex instructions using few clock cycles, and also that old type instructions can be used as input to the system without degrading the time performance of the instruction decoding. Also, accesses of the program memory (7) and a data memory (11) can be made earlier during execution of a program, which saves execution time.
