Inventor: RABINER LAWRENCE RICHARD
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 1992-08-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for resolving uncertainty in information provided to an information service. A database stores a list of one or more likely responses to an explicit or implicit request for information. Received information from a user in response to a request is compared to one or more of the likely responses in the list to identify such received information. Associated with each likely response is an  a priori  probability that the response will be provoked by the request.  A priori  probabilities may be based on, among other things, training with a user or a back-up procedure for resolving uncertainty. In comparing received information to a likely responses, a comparison score is generated. A comparison score is checked to determine whether it is within a range of acceptable comparison scores. If so, received information may be identified. If not, a back-up uncertainty resolution technique may be performed.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for generating an output signal in response to an input signal having a variable input level. The output signal has an output frequency which varies to represent variations in the input level. The apparatus comprises a processing circuit for implementing a digital signal processing algorithm to generate control signals in response to the input signal, which control signals are representative of the variable input level, and an oscillator circuit for generating the output signal in response to the control signals. The control signals include a first control signal representing a first output frequency, a second control signal representing a second output frequency, and at least one intermediate control signal representing output frequencies intermediate the first and second output frequencies. 
     The processing circuit generates at least one intermediate control signal whenever the output signal varies between the first and the second output frequencies which serves to "soften" the transition between the first and second output frequencies and reduces noise which usually is generated by such sudden changes in output frequency.

Abstract: It consists in producing a seamless garment formed by sleeves (101,103) and body (104). 
     It is characterised in that a ribbing with a start in perfect selvage, knitted with a two needle beds structure, is produced at the beginning (105,106,107) of the sleeves (101,103) and body (104), only some of the needles (2,5) forming stitch in one needle bed being provided with another complementary empty needle in the opposite needle bed during the production of said ribbing. 
     For the broadening of the tubes (101,102,103), needles are added in the inner edges of the tubes in the case of the sleeves, and in both edges in the case of the first part of the body, successive knitting courses being carried out to avoid open work gaps. 
     For the production of "round yoke" garments the width of the tube needs to be reduced by means of successive reductions from each of the outer ends of the tube inwards, taking a smaller number of stitches each time.

Abstract: A developer composition of the present invention contains a toner having at least a binder resin, a coloring agent and a toner scum preventive. The binder resin contains as a main component a polyester resin or a resin produced by concurrently carrying out addition polymerization and condensation polymerization in one reaction vessel. By using the toner of the present invention, since the formation of toner scum on the carrier surface can be prevented for a long period of time in the service life of the developer while retaining the low-temperature fixing ability of the toner, the carrier resistance and the triboelectric charge can be stably maintained, thereby providing a developer composition with a long service life. Accordingly, besides having a long service life mentioned above, the developer composition is highly suitably used for a high-speed semiconductive magnetic development.

Abstract: Non-uniformly doped regions are formed adjacent to semiconductor junctions which underlie high voltage crossovers. The non-uniformly doped regions prevent junction breakdown caused by strong electric fields. The voltage drop between a crossover and an element of an integrated circuit is spread over the non-uniformly doped region, to lessen the voltage drop between the crossover and the junction and lessen the electric field at the junction. Dopant concentrations in the non-uniformly doped region may be selected to minimize use of silicon real estate. In some embodiments, a graded dopant concentration is lightest near the junction and increases toward a circuit element being protected.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for programmable field masking in content-addressable memory (CAM). The present invention provides a CAM with at least one group of memory cells (58,59) interconnected by a word line (77) and a match line (80). The group of memory cells includes data memory cells divided into a number of data memory cell fields for storing data bits of a data word. A mask memory cell (63) is provided within the group of memory cells for storing at least one mask bit indicating a status of data stored in at least one of the data memory cell fields. The mask memory cell is operative to interrupt the match line in response to the stored mask bit. A match line detector (65) detects a signal level on the match line to indicate if input data bits supplied on the data memory cell bit lines match data bits stored in at least one of the data fields. The data memory cell fields may be organized into a hierarchy, with mask memory cells connected between the data fields, to provide hierarchical masking. General programmable masking of any data field within the group is provided using multiplexed mask memory cells connected by bypass lines. The multiplexed mask memory cells may store one or more mask bits in order to allow a bypass line to be connected to portions of the match line, thereby masking a given data memory cell field.

Abstract: Frequency reuse (70) and data coding methods (80, 90) for use in a high data rate satellite communication system (10). The frequency reuse method (70) provides for dual polarization and spatial reuse of transmit and receive beams to provide for a twelve-fold increase in the effective bandwidth and number of users that may be supported by the system (10). Transmit and receive antennas provides multiple, inter-leaved transmit and receive antenna beams. Digital input data at a source user terminal is coded and transmitted from a source user terminal on one of the plurality of receive antennas is demodulated. The received data is demodulated demodulated and is routed so that it may be transmitted to a destination user terminal. The data is then remodulated, multiplexed, and transmitted to the destination user terminal on one of the plurality of transmit beams. The transmitted data is decoded at the destination user terminal to produce the output data. The input and output data processed by the system is digital, and the coding (concatenated coding forward error correction processing) is employed to reduce the sensitivity of communicated data to interference. The presently preferred encoding method comprises Reed-Solomon encoding (42) input data, interleaving (43) the encoded data, and convolutionally encoding (44) the interleaved data and then time division multiplexing (45) and modulating (46) the data. The presently preferred decoding method comprises demodulating (56) and demultiplexing (57) received time division multiplexed data, Viterbi decoding (58) the demultiplexed data, deinterleaving (59) the Viterbi decoded data, and Reed-Solomon decoding (60) the deinterleaved data to produce the output data. Other multiplexing schemes may alternatively be employed. The demodulating and remodulating steps regenerates a high quality digital data stream on the satellite that is communicated to the destination terminal to reduce the effects of uplink interference upon the downlink data stream.

Abstract: In a swing type excavator, a swing post 13 is attached to an upper structure 11, which is able to turn within a width of an undercarriage 10, at a position forwardly and laterally of a cab 12. A front attachment 1, including a bucket 22, an arm 19, an upper boom 17, a lower boom 14 and a cross link 15, is mounted to the swing post 13. The cross link 15 intersects a line connecting a coupling point between the upper boom 17 and the lower boom 14 and a coupling point between the lower boom 14 and the swing post 13, and changes an opening angle between the upper boom 17 and the lower boom 14 depending on a vertical tilt angle of the lower boom 14. With this arrangement, the upper structure including the front attachment can be turned within the undercarriage width by a simple construction with no need of using a complex link mechanism, and interference between the front attachment and the cab can be easily avoided when the front attachment is swung. Also, a horizontal pin 31 as the coupling point between boom 14 and the swing post 13 is positioned rearwardly of a swing pin 30 as the swing center of the swing post 13 away from the front attachment. With this arrangement, the so-called ultra-small or undercarriage-width turn is realized without reducing both the side ditch distance in a side ditch digging condition and the maximum digging depth in a deep digging posture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A submunition fuse (1) presenting a tubular body (17); a support (23) housed in sliding manner in the tubular body (17); a firing element (35) housed in sliding manner in the support (23); a detonating element (7) mounted facing the firing element (35) in the armed position of the fuse; a strip (27) fitted to the top of the support (23), projecting from the tubular body, and which, during descent of the fuse, exerts aerodynamic force on the support in a direction away from the detonating element (7); a first thrust spring (31) acting on the support (23) to generate a first thrust, in the direction of the detonating element (7), not exceeding the aerodynamic force; a second thrust spring (40) acting on the firing element (35) to generate a second thrust in the direction of the detonating element (7); and lock balls (30) retained by the tubular body (17) in such a position as to interfere with and lock the firing element (35) in a withdrawn position. The first thrust spring (31) is disabled, during descent, by the aerodynamic force to maintain the fuse in the arming position, and is activated at the end of descent in the event of failure of the impact-initiating system, by virtue of no longer being counteracted by the aerodynamic force. The support (23) is therefore pushed into such a position as to release the balls (30) and hence the firing element (35) which is pushed by the second spring (40) against the detonating element (7).
