     Der Käfig (18) des Differentialgetriebes wird von einem Motor über
ein Geschwindigkeitswechselgetriebe angetrieben, und die die
Antriebsräder tragenden Halbwellen tragen Antriebskegelräder
innerhalb des Käfigs (18), die mit Ausgleichsrädern in der üblichen
Weise kämmen, so daß beim Kurvenfahren die Halbwellen unterschiedliche
Drehzahlen aufweisen. Die Differentialsperre erfolgt
über zwei große, gegeneinander drehbare, Keilriemenscheibenhälften (32,34),

Abstract: A method of separating high-level prosodic behavior from
purely articulatory constraints so that timing information can be extracted
from human speech is presented. The extracted timing information is
used to construct duration templates that are employed for speech
synthesis. The duration templates are constructed so that words
exhibiting the same stress pattern will be assigned the same duration
template. Initially, the words of input text segmented into phonemes and
syllables, and the associated stress pattern is assigned. The stress
assigned words are then assigned grouping features by a text grouping
module. A phoneme cluster module groups the phonemes into
phoneme pairs and single phonemes. A static duration associated with
each phoneme pair and single phoneme is retrieved from a global static
table. A normalization module generates a normalized syllable duration
value based upon the retrieved static durations associated with the
phonemes that comprise the syllable. The normalized syllable duration
value is stored in a duration template based upon the grouping features
associated with that syllable. To produce natural human-sounding
prosody in synthesized speech, the duration information is then
extracted from the selected template, de-normalized and applied to the
phonemic information.

Abstract: A linear actuator includes a plurality of magnetic plates and a ferrite
core with a conductive cover which are mounted on the actuator body to
generate a permanent magnetic field. The linear actuator also includes a
metal bobbin which has an outer surface and which is formed with an
aperture that defines an inner surface for the bobbin. Further, the bobbin is
formed with a gap which extends along its length and which intersects the
bobbin from its inner to its outer surface. An insulating insert is placed in the
gap. Finally, a winding is wrapped around the outer surface of the bobbin to
form an electromagnetic coil, and the coil on the bobbin is slidingly mounted
on the actuator to receive the ferrite core through the bobbin's aperture.
Electrical current can then be selectively applied to the winding to interact
with the permanent magnetic field and thereby cause reciprocating motion of
the coil. Due to the gap in the bobbin, an induced current which would
otherwise hinder the desired reciprocating motion of the coil does not form on
the outer surface of the bobbin. Due to the conductive cover, the response
time of the coil to the applied current is reduced. In this manner, precise,
high speed reciprocating motion in the linear actuator of the present invention
is achieved.

Abstract: A method for operating a data processing system to generate a full color image from a
partially sampled version of the image. The full color image includes a first two-dimensional
array of vectors having components representing the intensity of a pixel in the full color
image in a corresponding spectral band at a location determined by the location of the vector
in the first two-dimensional array. The method generates the first two-dimensional array
from a two-dimensional array of scalars. Each scalar determines one of the first, second, or
third intensity values at a corresponding location in the two-dimensional array of vectors.
The method determines the remaining ones of the first, second, and third intensity values.
The method starts by assigning a value to each one of the components of the vectors in the
first two-dimensional array of vectors that is not determined by one of the scalars. A
luminance image and first and second chrominance images are then generated from the first
two-dimensional array of vectors. The chrominance images are filtered with an isotropic
low-pass spatial filter to generate filtered chrominance images. The two-dimensional array of
vectors is then regenerated from the luminance image and the first and second filtered
chrominance images. The scalars that are originally given by the sensors are reset in the
regenerated two-dimensional array of vectors. The decomposition, filtering, resetting, and
regenerating steps are iterated to provide the final full-color image. In the preferred
embodiment, the luminance image is also filtered. However, the filtering of the luminance
image utilizes a low-pass spatial filter having an anisotropy that varies with location in the
luminance image.

Abstract: A replay attack prevention technique (3A, 3B) uses a secret algorithm (202)
exchanged between client and servers computers (102, 104). The algorithm is used to
periodically alter a special replay key. The replay key may then be used to alter the
message (108) sent or alter the digest (204) appended to the message such that the
message and or its digest varies as time progresses. An unscrupulous third party (110)
who replays a stolen operation message would be unaware of the replay key and its
variation. Any stolen message that is replayed by the third party would not include the
time varying aspect as expected by the server computer. The server computer would thus
be able to detect the attempted fraud. The secret replay key may be exchanged during the
communication session in an encrypted form, or may be exchanged earlier.

and/or orientation of the member without the necessity
for combining the outputs of numerous sensors and
integrating the resultant signal. Furthermore, the
control is substantially immune to electromagnetic
interference and other environmental degradation at the
job site and can be used to field-upgrade existing
equipment.
