Abstract: An apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object
has a profile cutter (2) for cutting shapes in sheet
material (1), a sheet material feeder (8), a computer (4)
for providing instructions to the profile cutter and a
laminator (5). The laminator includes a roller (6) and a
heating component (7) which pass over the sheet material
twice during each laminating step. In another aspect of
the invention the computer analyses the shapes of cuts to
be made, determines which areas of the sheet material are
to form a part of the object and which are to be discarded
so that each cut has a retain side and a discard side,
wherein the computer compensates for the width of the
profile cutter by instructing the profile cutter to cut
paths which are slightly on the discard side.

Abstract: The matched filter unit of the present invention is used
for finding a value of correlation between each of a plurality
of digital signals synchronized with a clock and each of a
plurality of digital code strings consisting of M (M: plural)
digital codes respectively. The matched filter unit comprises
a circuit for multiplexing a plurality of the digital signals,
a storage circuit composed of delay circuits disposed in M stages
and used for entering a signal output from the signal multiplexing
circuit to the first stage delay circuit, then shifting the signal
to the subsequent delay circuits sequentially in synchronization
with the clock, and a plurality of computing devices for finding
a value of correlation between each of the digital signals and
a digital code string respectively using a signal output from
each of the delay circuits disposed in M stages. Each of a
plurality of the computing devices is composed of M multipliers
(M: plural) for multiplying a signal output from each of the delay
circuits by each digital code of a digital code string and an
adder for adding results of multiplication from the M multipliers
to find a value of the correlation. According to this
configuration of the matched filter unit, a plurality of the
digital signals that are diffusion-modulated with different code
values are not correlative with each other. Those non-correlative
digital signals are multiplexed by a signal
multiplexing circuit, then the multiplexed signal is computed 
for back-diffusion in the storage circuit, the multipliers, and
the adder using different digital code strings, thereby to detect
a value of correlation between digital signals entered from a
plurality of channels using the same storage circuit. It is thus
possible to provide a matched filter unit that can be reduced
significantly in circuitry size, thereby to satisfy the
miniaturizing, lower manufacturing cost, and power saving
prerequisites.

Abstract: A level is preset into a counter. The level
held in the counter is compared with the minimum value
of the present video signal by a level detecting
circuit. When the minimum value of the present video
signal is lower than the level of the counter, the
intermediate value between the value of the counter so
far and the minimum value of the present video signal
is obtained by an intermediate value calculating
circuit, thereby presetting the counter and updating
the level. Thus, the value of the counter gradually
approaches a sync chip level. The video signal is
sliced by a slice level formed on the basis of the
value of the counter by a slice circuit, thereby
extracting the sync signal. Further, in a mask signal
generating circuit, the updating of the level is
inhibited for a predetermined time after the updating
of the level was performed for a predetermined period
of time, thereby preventing the level from being
influenced by the noise for the video period. The
counter is increased and the level is increased at a
predetermined rate, thereby preventing the level from
being influenced by a sag.
