Patent EP-0779081-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIRAMOTO KAZUO
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 1996-12-03
Abstract: A charged particle accelerator (100) has a switching device (166) for switching on and off the extraction of a charged particle beam, an irradiation unit (110) has electromagnets (220, 221) for setting an irradiation point of the charged particle beam to be irradiated on an irradiation target, and a control unit (130) controls the switching device to cause it to switch on and off the beam extraction and the electromagnets (220, 221) to cause them to change the irradiation point. When the switching device (166) switches on the extraction of the charged particle beam circulating through the charged particle accelerator (100) into the irradiation unit (100), the charged particle beam is irradiated on the irradiation target in the irradiation unit. When the switching device switches off the beam extraction from the charged particle accelerator into the irradiation unit, the irradiation of the charged particle beam on the irradiation target is also stopped. Accordingly, when the control unit (130) controls the switching device to cause it to switch on and off the beam extraction, the irradiation on the irradiation target can also be switched on and off. Since the electromagnets (220, 221) set the irradiation point of the charged particle beam in the irradiation unit (110), the charged particle beam extracted from the charged particle accelerator into the irradiation unit can be irradiated on the irradiation target. Since the control unit (130) controls the electromagnets (220, 221) to cause them to change the irradiation point, the charged particle beam can be irradiated on another irradiation point of the irradiation target. Even when the irradiation target has a complicated shape, the irradiation target can be irradiated with high accuracy through simplified control. The irradiation is continued until a target of irradiation dose is reached and therefore, even when the beam intensity changes temporally, the irradiation target can be irradiated with uniform beam density.

Title: System for speech recognition
Inventor: KALVERAM HANS DR-ING
IPC: G10L21/0216
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: The system receives speech signals (S) with superimposed interference signals (N). The system has a spectral analyser (6) to supply first spectral values. These values are taken from the distorted speech signals (X) and are combined into a first spectral vector. The system also has means for providing estimation values for the interference signal. A second spectral analyser (7) forms second spectral values from the estimated noise signal values and combines these to form second spectral vectors. A memory unit (8) stores reference vectors made up of reference spectral values. Indices are allocated to the reference vectors and correspond to the spectra of reference speech signals. The system also has an arrangement (9) to form comparison vectors associated with the indices, from the reference vectors and the second spectral vectors. A continuous adaptation of at least one of the comparison vectors to the second spectral vectors is provided. An arrangement (10,11) is provided to select indices by comparing the comparison vectors with the first spectral vectors.

IPC: B41J11/46

Abstract: An inkjet printer whereby high density graphics images can be printed without smearing and without either a reduction of print speed or a degradation of print quality is disclosed. Previous methods of inducing drying on inkjet output in printers with heaters did not use print density to adjust heater output. Heater output was simply adjusted based on the type of media so destruction of the media did not take place. The media was given enough time to dry by either lowering the print speed of the printer or utilizing special multi-pass print modes. As a result, the throughput of the printer was reduced. The disclosed inkjet printer allows for greater heater drying to be applied to output printed with greater densities of ink. Thus, drytime, bleed and cockle are reduced. Conversely, on plots printed with lesser amounts of ink, heater output is redued yielding output with reduced curl and thermal deformation of the media. The disclosed inkjet printer also allows the thermal absorption profiles of different media to be stored in firmware and accessed by the print driver. The correlation of the thermal absorption profiles and print density allows control of the heater for very specific and optimized drying for a given media and print file. In the case of families of similar media, relatively simple printer instructions would yield precise heater control for optimized drying across a family of media for the entire range of print densities. Thus, printing speed and print modes are not be governed by drying rates. The inkjet printer comprises a carriage mounted inkjet printing mechanism for applying liquid ink to a print medium as successive columns of dots contained within horizontal swaths to thereby form a portion of the image of an image to be printed on a sheet of print media. The printer and method comprises the steps determining a maximum density of dots in a first horizontal swath, applying a variable quantity of heat to the media based upon the maximum density of said dots and the nature of the print media, and moving a plurality of inkjet nozzles across the print medium and applying a specified amount of liquid ink from specified inkjet nozzles onto the print medium as successive columns of dots contained within a first swath of the image. The maximum print density can be calculated by counting drops of ink in each of several overlapping grids. Thus, the inkjet printer utilizes information about the print density to control the heater output level rather than controlling the print speed of the inkjet printer, or using multi-pass print modes which reduce printer throughput. Similarly, this invention can be applied to print devices that control air flow or fan speed or any other device that provides direct drying of printed media based on the analysis of the ink density of the printing being performed.

Abstract: A large X-Y workspace, such as a table, serves as a
support for a viewport flat panel display which moves
over the surface of the table. The portion of the
viewport display on the table determines the portion of
information displayed on the viewport display. When the
surface of the table is used as a backlit display, a low
resolution image can be projected onto the surface of the
table. The viewport display can then show selected
information related to the underlying information it
covers, such as high resolution views, infrared views and
map information. Lifting a viewport off the table
surface freezes the portion of the image on the screen.

Abstract: According to the present invention, recipients participating
in a group call for message transmission can be
limited by setting up a radio selective calling receiver,
and usability and transfer efficiency can be improved. 
     In an operating condition set by manipulation of a
switch, a message received as a result of a conference call
is demodulated by a reception unit, and its included
numerical string is extracted by a controller and compared
with numerical strings stored in a numerical string storage
unit by a numerical string search unit. As a result of a
search, a received message will be stored in a message
storage unit, and the message reception notification
operation will be performed by a message unit and a loudspeaker.
Since an arbitrary numerical string for sub-group
identification is set in the radio selective calling
receiver to limit reception for a group call, the storing of
unnecessary messages can be eliminated, and the memory space
provided for message storage can be employed more effectively.
Accordingly, the load placed on a message transmitter
is reduced, and a more superior radio selective calling
receiver can be provided for a user. Furthermore, a sub-group
can be flexibly set or altered and a waste of a finite
source, such as individual numbers, can be eliminated.

Abstract: In a novel method of homo- or copolymerization of vinyl
chloride, a specified coating agent is applied on the
surfaces of the portions which will become into contact with
the vinyl chloride monomer during the polymerization process.
The coating agent is in a form of an aqueous solution of a
modified condensation product of phenol and aldehyde, the pH
of the solution being adjusted in a range that the product is
dissolved at an ambient temperature upon coating of the
solution and separates out of the solution upon being heated
on the surfaces. The wall surface of the polymerization tank
and the like is then coated with a thin film of the coating
agent having a uniform thickness and being strongly adhered to
the wall surface, thereby providing an excellent effect of
preventing adhesion of the product polymer to the wall
surface.
