Abstract: A fixing device has a fixing roller, a press member disposed in a press state in an axial drection of the fixing roller on the periphery surface thereof, and a transport guide for guiding transport of paper. The press member is formed so that the free height of a guide part on an upstream side with respect to the transport direction of the paper is lower than that of the pressure portion pressed to the fixing roller via a heat resistant sheet. Therefore, since the apparent elasticity hardness of the pressure portion can be made relatively small, the nip width formed by the fixing roller and the press member can be made large. Consequently, the fixing of toner to the paper is improved. Even when, for example, a thin sheet of paper or an envelope is used as the paper, the fixing device can suppress the occurrence of paper jam, such as paper lodging, and improper paper insertion.

Abstract: An adaptive trellis decoder (24) seamlessly switches between multiple operational modes. The trellis decoder employs a code sequence detection system (40) that detects codes in input interleaved packet data. The code sequence detection system also reduces the delay (latency) between the input of encoded data and the output of decoded data. The code sequence detection system processes video data in the form of groups of interleaved trellis encoded data packets and includes a traceback network (47) that identifies a sequence of antecedent trellis states, in accordance with a state transition trellis. The traceback network identifies the antecedent states for collocated interleaved packets in response to decision data associated with trellis state transitions. Output trellis decoded data is provided in response to the identified sequence of antecedent trellis states. The decoder can also provide a plurality of trellis decoded data sequences. The decoded data sequences are provided by identifying corresponding antecedent trellis state sequences with delayed decision data in accordance with a state transition trellis. One of the decoded data sequences is identified with a pointer updated by identifying antecedent trellis states with the decision data.

Abstract: An optical disk has address recording sections each
of which has a wobbled part of one of side walls of a
groove. Each address recording section is formed by
providing convexes of a groove in an adjacent land so as
to widen the groove. With the wobbles thus provided in
a concavo-convex form, address information is recorded.
Besides, the address recording sections thus provided in
the grooves are linearly disposed in radial directions of
the optical disk. By thus arranging the optical disk on
whose grooves and/or lands information is recorded,
mixing of wobble frequency components in reproduced
information signals does not occur, the sector method is
applicable to the optical disk, and information signals
of high quality can be obtained.

Abstract: The method involves converting each spoken request into at least one set of requirements with high acoustic probability using a speech model. A full database access is derived from this. The requirements are checked for consistency with each other, with preceding requests derived from speech for the same access and with the contents of the database. If inconsistencies are detected, further requests of lesser probability are checked for consistency until no inconsistencies are detected and/or until a further criterion is satisfied, whereby a set of requirements without inconsistencies derived in this manner is used to access the database.

Abstract: In order to relieve the loading of a service control point SCP in a telecommunications
signalling network, query messages addressed to the SCP are intercepted prior to receipt
by the SCP. These intercepted query messages are examined and response data
generated, at least for certain query types. For a query message for which response data
is generated, the query message is replaced by a response message addressed to the
querying entity. The response message is then forwarded on in the same sense as the
received query message. In a preferred implementation, the forwarded response message
will next be received by a signalling transfer point STP and be directed back to the
querying entity.

Abstract: The invention increases the reliability of a data storage device. The data storage devices contain a memory element disk, containing data, the memory element disk being rotatably mounted about an axis, a transducer head, an actuator for moving the transducer head relative to the disk, and a counter for counting the number of seek operations performed by the transducer head. The invention may include setting a threshold seek value T seek  and comparing this value to the actual seek performed by the head, V seek , to determine the need for a stop/start operation. Alternatively, the invention includes defining threshold seek operation count T seek , counting the number of seek operations to determine M seek  since the last stop/start operation, recalling the total number of seek operations completed by the data storage device to define N seek , defining D seek  by determining the difference between N seek  and M seek , and determining whether D seek  is equal to or greater than T seek . When D seek  is equal to or greater than T seek , the transducer head undergoes a stop/start operation. M seek  may then be reset to equal N seek  before the stop/start operation is undertaken. When D seek  is less than T seek  the count is commenced. The invention may also be used with devices that additionally have auxiliary memory and with arrays of data storage devices.

IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: A circuit performs controlled multiplication, shifting, and accumulation
operations. A sequence of pairs of input operand signals and corresponding
arithmetic control signals are synchronously supplied to the circuit by an
external controller. Arithmetic control values include a downshift value (DV)
for controlling shifting operations and an accumulate number (AN) for
controlling accumulation operations. The circuit includes n booth multipliers
(BMs) for receiving the sequenced information and a first multiplexer having n
inputs each coupled to a BM output. Each BM has a BM memory control unit.
For rounding purposes during downshifting, each P register of each BM is
primed before each multiply operation. An internal control circuit monitors the
status of each BM. If all of the BMs are "busy" and another multiply request
arrives, then a stall signal is sent to the external controller. When the status of
BM i  is "finished," the internal control circuit selects the output of BM i  to output
through the first MUX. A downshift circuit is controlled to shift the output of
the first MUX according to the corresponding DV. A plurality of m accumulators
each have an input coupled to receive a downshift circuit output. The AN signal
is used to select which of the plurality of m accumulators to enable via an
accumulate select bus. Each of the m accumulators may be implemented with an
adder and a register. The external controller can select one of the m
accumulators to receive the final product value.

contact with the substrate and provides improved edge
exclusion. Support tabs (56) extend inwardly from the
lower roof surface (62) to support the apparatus on
the substrate and the inner terminus of the apparatus
approaches the edge of the substrate to provide the
improved edge exclusion. A variable height lower roof
surface (66, 68) is provided over the edge of the
substrate to provide an effective roof aspect ratio
(width of the roof : height of the roof above the
substrate) over the edge of the substrate which
reduces the likelihood that a bridging layer will form

Abstract: High usage lines in a telecommunications system must
be detected to avoid local areas of high call blockage.
Such high usage lines are frequently lines that originate
or receive data calls. The presence of a data call is
detected by testing for a signal, such as a tone, on the
call connection after an answer signal has been detected.
Lines which originate or receive data calls are then
monitored to measure their usage. Advantageously, many
high usage lines can be detected by monitoring only the
relatively few lines that originate or receive data calls.

Abstract: In an orthogonal frequency conversion apparatus in
which an orthogonal frequency converter for the baseband is
connected with that for an IF band or an RF band, spurious
noise on a transmitter side and deterioration caused by an
interference signal on a receiver side are both reduced,
even though the orthogonal frequency converter for the IF
band or the RF band has an error in phase/amplitude. On
the transmitter side, two orthogonal input data are
frequency-converted by the transmission baseband frequency
converter and thereafter further frequency-converted by the
transmission radio/intermediate frequency converter to
obtain a signal m. The signal m is then input to the band-pass
filter which passes a frequency (ω+ω ) but attenuates
(ω-ω   ) in order to obtain a signal m' in which the spurious
component is reduced. On the receiver side, an input
signal d is first input to the band-pass filter which
passes a signal having a frequency (ω) but attenuates the
frequency ω-2(ω-ω ) to obtain an output d' in which the
interference signal component is removed in advance.
Subsequently, two signals which have been frequency-converted
by the received radio/intermediate frequency
converter are passed through the LPF and thereafter
frequency-converted by the receiver baseband frequency
converter.
