Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are provided for recognizing broadcast segments, such as commercials, in real time by continuous pattern recognition without resorting to cues or codes in the broadcast signal. Each broadcast frame is parametized to yield a digital word and a signature is constructed for segments to be recognized by selecting, in accordance with a set of predefined rules, a number of words from among random locations throughout the segment and storing them along with offset information indicating their relative locations. As a broadcast signal is monitored, it is parametized in the same way and the library of signatures is compared against each digital word and words offset therefrom by the stored offset amounts. A data reduction technique minimizes the number of comparisons required while still maintaining a large database.

Abstract: In known coupling devices for generating a paper copy of an image displayed on a screen, technically elaborate and thus expensive whole- page image memories are required. These also have the disadvantage that they need a relatively large amount of space. The new coupling device is intended to be space saving, technically simple and inexpensive. The coupling device 8 connected between the screen and the laser printer contains two 8-k byte RAM buffer stores (16, 17). The incoming signals are stored in a first buffer store (16) via an input shift register (19) and a write switch (20). A control by a microprocessor (25) with EPROM (26) activates the laser printer via a selection logic switch (23). If the buffer store (16) has been completely filled and the printer is ready for printing, the content of the buffer store (16), representing a first image segment, is output on the printer. At the same time, a second image segment is stored in the second buffer store (17) and is output next on the printer whilst the other buffer store is loaded with the next image segment. The process is controlled by a Z 80 CPU (25). <IMAGE>

Title: Programmable sense amplifier for read only memory
Inventor: LEV LAVI A
IPC: G11C17/12
Filed: 1988-08-23
Abstract: A programmable sense amplifier in accordance with the present invention includes an input multiplexer which receives a plurality of data input signals from the column lines of a ROM and provides a selected one of a data input signals as a data output signal based on control signals provided to the input multiplexer. The voltage level of the data output signal corresponds to the number of 1's contained in the selected column line. A sensing stage receives the data output signal and amplifies it. The amplified signal is then provided to an XOR gate which either does or does not invert the amplified signal, based upon the state of the select node to which one of the XOR gate inputs is connected. The state of the select node is determined by a programmable internal multiplexer. The internal multiplexer comprises a number of FET switching transistors corresponding to the number of data input signals. Each of the switching transistors has one of its electrode areas commonly-connected to the select node. The other area of each switching transistor is selectively, i.e. programmably, connected either to the negative supply V SS  or the positive supply V CC  depending upon whether or not, respectively, a number of "1"s contained in the selected column line exceeds one-half the total number of row lines of the ROM, the 1s and 0s in the selected column line having been inverted if this is the case. Thus, the select mode will be appropriately charged or discharged because the XOR gate to produce the correct sense amplifier output.

Abstract: An automotive air conditioning system is disclosed which includes a first control circuit (5) for autmatically controlling an open angle of an air mix damper (1) in accordance with a plurality of conditions, e.g., an outside air temperature and an inside air temperature. A switching mechanism predetermines a maximum heating or cooling. A second control circuit moves the air mix damper (1) to a position for the maximum heating or cooling independently of the above conditions in accordance with operation of the switching mechanism (10). The second control circuit includes a drive circuit which outputs a drive signal to move the air mix damper to the position for a maximum heating or cooling for only a predetermined time. Therefore, even though an air mix damper or gear for reduction of speed is locked at the time of the maximum heating or cooling and a lock detecting function in a micro­computer does not operate, an automotive air conditioning system is prevented from destroying a motor in a motor actuator.

Abstract: The known separator for use in pulverizer of the type that a plurality of blades (1) are disposed about a substantially vertical center axis of rotation as sepa­rated by a predetermined radius therefrom and as directed in the vertical direction, is improved so that a cross-­section area of passage of airflow between blades can be taken broad and yet it may not be varied even under influence of a centrifugal force. The improvements reside in that the blade (1) is made of a flat plate rather than a shaped material, and that the separator is provided with an annular body (2) for connecting the blades so as to sur­round the center axis of rotation. A tension to be generated in the annular body (2) as a result of a centrifugal force and a reinforcement effect of the annular body (2) are mathematically analyzed as a basis of design of the improved rotary separator.
