Abstract: A spool gear (6B) is formed centrally on an element gear (6),
and spur gears (6C) are formed toward the opposite ends. When it is
attempted to increase the face width in order to improve the
strength of the spur gear (6C), if the hobbing operation is chosen,
there occurs an interference of the tool used with the end of the
spool gear (B), preventing the face width of the tooth crest from
being increased. To accommodate for this, the spur gear is
enlarged in a region located below the pitch circle (6F) toward the
spool gear (6B), thus increasing the face width of only the tooth
flank (6Ca). This region results in an imperfect gear area, which
however has no interference with a meshing region (6J), presenting
no problem in the gear function, allowing the strength to be
improved.

Title: Frequency interpolating device and frequence interpolating method
Inventor: SATO YASUSHI
IPC: H04B14/04
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: The spectrum of a PCM signal is divided into bands. Combinations of a
reference band inclusive of a highest frequency band and another band, one of
the reference band and other band being normalized, are checked to identify a
combination having a highest spectrum distribution correlation. The spectrum
having the same distribution as the spectrum distribution of the reference band
contained in the identified combination is scaled along an envelope function and
added to a higher frequency side than the reference band to generate an output
signal. A presence/absence of high frequency components of a PCM signal is
detected. Only if there are high frequency components, the spectrum
components are added to generate an output signal. It is therefore possible to
recover a signal approximate to the original signal from either an original signal
with the spectrum components in some bands being suppressed or a signal
representative of an original signal containing no spectrum components in the
bands or from a signal combining these two signals.
