Abstract: A three-dimensional sound processing system which provides a listener with three-dimensional sound effects by reproducing a sound image properly positioned in a reproduced sound field. A filter coefficient enhancement unit creates two difference-enhanced impulse responses by emphasizing the difference between two sets of acoustic characteristics pertaining to a listener's both ears, which are represented as impulse responses measured in an original sound field. Based on the two difference-enhanced impulse responses, a series of coefficients of a sound image positioning filter are determined for every possible location of the sound source. A coefficient memory unit stores various sets of such filter coefficients separately for each sound source location. The sound image positioning filter configures itself with the series of filter coefficients retrieved from the coefficient memory unit according to a given sound source location, and adds the acoustic characteristics of the original sound field to a source sound signal. The sound image positioning filter also subtracts in advance the acoustic characteristics of the reproduced sound field from the source sound signal, using a separate set of coefficients representing inverse characteristics of the reproduced sound field.

Abstract: A silver composition is disclosed which contains silver powder or flake,
a water soluble binder, an organic water soluble solvent and an inorganic
binder. Generally, the composition will also contain water. The water soluble
binder is especially chosen such that it has the property after dissolution in
water, followed by water removal that it can be again dissolved in water (as
opposed to water resistance as in a paint). The silver composition as a film or
coating also lacks water resistance (prior to a firing operation) which can aid in
pattern formation.

Abstract: A four-wheeled electromotive cart includes a single motor
(38) and a direct axle driving mechanism (40) for driving the
axle (44) of left and right front wheels (2L, 2R) by means of the
motor (38). The single electric motor (38) would cause no
rotation speed difference between the left and right front
wheels (2L, 2R) and hence constantly permits a smooth linear
movement of the electromotive cart. The direct axle driving
mechanism (40) includes a relay shaft (41) connected to the
output shaft (38a) of the electric motor (38), a small-diameter
bevel gear (42) mounted on a lower end of the relay shaft (41),
and a large-diameter bevel gear (43) engaging with the small-diameter
bevel gear (42). The front-wheel axle (44) is spline-connected
to the large-diameter bevel gear (43) so as to be
driven by the motor (38) via the direct axle driving mechanism
(40). Thus, the electromotive cart is allowed to smoothly start
moving without sudden jolts or shocks caused by start of the
motor rotation.

Abstract: In an ultrasonic apparatus a plurality of piezoelectric
electroacoustic transducers (10, 12) are mechanically coupled to
a horn (14) for providing ultrasonic vibrations thereto, and the
transducers are energized in parallel from a common electrical
power supply (28). In order to avoid the presence of circulating
currents among the transducers, transformer balancing units (30)
are connected in circuit with each of the transducers. Since the
use of parallel connected piezoelectric transducers increases the
total circuit capacitance, series connected capacitors (32, 34)
are provided to restore the circuit capacitance to a value
required for the resonant circuit condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facsimile device that is connectable to a
plurality of lines. When a facsimile transmission is made, information regarding the
transmission source (the facsimile number, the sender's name and the like) is normally
transmitted as TSI signals or as a part of the image data (TTI) to the receiver side.
According to the present invention, TTI information (line information) can be set for each
of a plurality of lines (L1, L2, ...) and a particular item of the line information can be
selected as desired. Thus, the same line information (TTI information) can be
transmitted over all the lines (L1, L2, ...) when a simultaneous broadcasting transmission
is made using a plurality of lines. In addition, when some lines are used exclusively for
transmission and some are used exclusively for reception, any confusion of the TTI on
the receiver side will be avoided because misuse of the sender's dedicated transmission
lines for reception of a return fax from the original receiving side can be reliably avoided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a laser tracking system including a
laser generator (22) for generating a beam of laser energy (T), a beam steerer (24) for
steering the beam of laser energy (T) such that it moves in a search pattern, and a
receiving device (16) that receives laser energy (R) reflected from a targeted object (11)
and that causes the beam steerer (24) to vary the search pattern in response to the
reflected laser energy (R). A tracking method associated with the laser tracking
system includes the steps of generating a beam of laser energy (T), steering the
beam of laser energy in a search pattern, detecting a hit spot (12) formed from laser
energy being reflected from a targeted object (11), diminishing the size of the
search pattern in response to the detection of the hit spot (12), and focusing the
diminished search pattern on a feature of the targeted object (11) corresponding to
the hit spot (12). The laser tracking system and associated method presented
provide a number of advantages over conventional tracking systems. The
laser tracking system employs closed loop methodologies allowing the system
to accurately track targeted objects using continuously updated tracking data.
The laser tracking system is able to seek and lock on to vulnerable features of
potential targets. Further, the laser tracking system is able to maintain a
desired aim point indefinitely and without operator intervention. This aim point
maintenance allows an associated weapon to disable a target, despite any
relative tracker-target motion during the munitions launch and flight.
