Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for adjusting the saturation of a color image are
provided. In the saturation adjusting apparatus and method, a saturation value for
each of pixels of an input image is calculated, and a peak saturation value and a
mean saturation value of the input image are calculated using the saturation values
of the pixels. A peak gain value based on the peak saturation value and a mean
gain based on the mean saturation value are calculated. A local gain value is
calculated using the mean gain value and the saturation values of the pixels. A
pattern gain value for a test pattern image and a color gain value for a skin color
image are also considered to adaptively adjust the saturation of the input image.

Abstract: The mold (2) has a first chamber (38) defined by a pair of inner (10) and outer (8) peripheral walls circumposed about the axis of the cavity and spaced apart from one another transverse the axis. The first chamber (38) has oppositely disposed end walls (16) that extend transverse the axis and an inlet for the supply of liquid coolant under pressure. The inner peripheral wall has a step (28) which projects into the first chamber (38). The step (28) has a first surface that extends transverse the axis and a second surface that extends parallel to the axis and coterminates with the first surface to form a corner. A second chamber is formed in the inner peripheral wall at the step (28). A series of holes (78) open into the first chamber (38) at one of the surfaces of the step (28) to permit coolant to discharge into the second chamber at a reduced pressure. A passage (68) opening discharges the reduced pressure coolant onto a body of metal emerging from the discharge end opening of the cavity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a speech synthesis system and method using a smoothing filter.
A speech synthesis system for controlling a discontinuous distortion occurred at the
transition portion between concatenated phonemes which are speech units of a
synthesized speech using a smoothing technique, comprising: a discontinuous
distortion processing means adapted to predict a discontinuity occurred at the
transition portion between concatenated samples of phonemes used for a speech
synthesis through a predetermined learning process, and control a discontinuity
occurred at the transition portion between the concatenated phonemes of the
synthesized speech in such a fashion that it is smoothed adaptively to correspond to
a degree of the predicted discontinuity. The smoothing filter smoothes the
synthesized speech so that the discontinuity degree of synthesized speech follows
the predicted discontinuity degree according to the filter coefficient (a) changed
adaptively to correspond to a ratio of the predicted discontinuity degree to the real
discontinuity degree. That is, since a discontinuity occurred at a transition portion
between concatenated phonemes of the synthesized speech (IN) is adaptively
smoothed to follow that occurred in the actually spoken sound, the synthesized
speech (IN) can be approximated more closely to a real human voice.
