Abstract: A computer system 10 comprises a processor unit 14, a keyboard 16, a screen 12 and a mouse 18. A user uses the mouse to control the position of a cursor 20 on the screen, and also to indicate a selected cursor position. To correlate this position with shapes 40, 42 on the display, to determine which if any shapes have been selected, the computer first determines whether a pick rectangle around the selected cursor position overlaps a bounding rectangle 40, 42 around a shape. Those shapes for which an overlap is found are re-drawn into a bit map in memory, which is then examined to see if this drawing process has resulted in a change to the bit map. Any shapes which produce a change in the bit map must overlap the pick rectangle, and so are correlated with the cursor position.

Abstract: A speech coding apparatus in which measured acoustic feature vectors are each represented by the best matched prototype vector. The prototype vectors are generated by storing a model of a training script comprising a series of elementary models. The value of at least one feature of a training utterance of the training script is measured over each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of training feature vectors. A first set of training feature vectors corresponding to a first elementary model in the training script is identified. The feature value of each training feature vector signal in the first set is compared to the parameter value of a first reference vector signal to obtain a first closeness score, and is compared to the parameter value of a second reference vector to obtain a second closeness score for each training feature vector. For each training feature vector in the first set, the first closeness score is compared with the second closeness score to obtain a reference match score. A first subset contains those training feature vectors in the first set having reference match scores better than a threshold Q. A second subset contains those training feature vectors in a first set having reference match scores less than the threshold Q. One or more partition values are generated for a first prototype vector from the first subset of training feature vectors, and one or more additional partition values are generated for the first prototype vector from the second subset of training feature vectors.

Abstract: A method of sealingly mounting electric insulators passing through a plate wall, in particular for the manufacture of a housing case (10) for electric disconnecting switches, comprises the steps of making a collar (14) projecting from the plate at a passage hole (13) for the insulator; fitting the insulator (12) into the hole in the direction of the collar (14) projection so as to bring, upon interposition of a seal (18), an abutment edge (15) radially projecting from the insulator against an edge of the hole on the side opposite to the collar projecting side; bending the free end of the collar inwardly, forming a locking angle and forcing said end into a circumferential seating (16) present in the insulator surface so as to prevent the insulator from being withdrawn from the hole. In this manner a plate casing (10) for an electric apparatus is achieved which has an excellent tightness between the casing wall and the insulators passing therethrough.

Abstract: Apparatus for efficiently encoding a digital signal includes an arrangement (41, 42) for dividing the signal into a number of frequency band signals. The frequency band signals are segmented into blocks and the blocks are orthogonally transformed (43, 44, 45) to form coefficient data. The coefficient data is then quantized (58). A circuit (50) detects whether at least the lowest frequency one of the frequency band signals contains a transient. If so, a control circuit (57; 102; 100) controls processing of at least the lowest frequency band signal so as to reduce the perceptibility of noise in the processed signal. The control circuit may be operative, in the event of detection of a transient, to increase the number of bits used for quantizing at least the lowest frequency band signal, to reduce the block size of at least the lowest frequency band signal, and/or to reduce the level of at least the lowest frequency band signal.

Abstract: Upon observation of multi-viewpoint images, even  when the viewpoint moves continuously, the image cannot  normally be displayed in correspondence with the  continuous movement of the viewpoint, and an image from  a viewpoint closest to the current viewpoint is  displayed. To prevent this, each two adjacent images of  the multi-viewpoint images are interpolated by detecting  corresponding pixels and generating an interpolated  image in accordance with the correspondences among  pixels. The interpolated image is generated in such a  manner that an epipolar plane image is generated by  juxtaposing corresponding lines of the multi-viewpoint  image, straight lines are detected from the epipolar  plane image, and the intersecting points between  interpolated lines and the detected straight lines are  detected as interpolated pixels. In this case, as for a  point for which a straight line cannot be detected, a  straight line passing the point is estimated, thereby  generating an interpolated pixel. When a plurality of  straight lines are detected for a pixel of interest, the  priority level is assigned to the pixel of interest in  correspondence with the number of detected straight  lines. When the priority level is smaller than that of  another pixel through which the detected straight line    passes, the straight line is ignored, and an  interpolated pixel is not generated.

Abstract: Source language text from an input interface (100) is broken down into source language morphemes by a morphological analyser (101). A syntactic analyser (102) converts the morphemes into source language signs labelled with identifiers and data identifying other signs which are grammatically related. A bilingual equivalence transformer (103) transforms the source language signs to target language signs which are combined by a combiner (104) to provide a first attempt at a target language structure. The structure is repeatedly evaluated by an evaluator (104) and transformed by a transformer (106). The signs of well formed substructures identified by the evaluator (104) are not dissociated from each other by the transformer. This process ends when either the whole target language structure is evaluated as being well formed or all transformations have been unsuccessfully evaluated.
