Patent EP-1045311-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE KENJI
IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: A character information processor which can be
applied to a tape printing device. The character
information processor is provided with a read-only memory
in which a table containing the levels of alternatives of
a menu hierarchical structure set correspondingly to each
edition function is stored. When an edition level is
selected by an operator by keying, only edition
operations, which are available at the selected edition
level, are displayed on the screen of a display unit as
choices. An example of the function of editing a
character string is a function for enabling the
restoration of a text, on which an edition operation such
as an input operation and a deleting operation has been
once performed. This function is implemented by
providing a restoration buffer in the processor and by
storing a character or a character string, on which an
operation is performed, and a cause-for-restoration
parameter representing a kind of an operation in the
processor each time when an operation such as an input
and a deletion is performed, and by performing a
restoration operation according to the cause-for-restoration
parameter. Further, regarding an operation
of editing a printing layout, the processor has an
operation of performing a text alignment by converting a
full-size space, which is inputted by keying similarly as
in the case of an ordinary character, into a half-size 
space to be treated as a space of a size, which is half
of the size of a full-size character, when printing.
Moreover, regarding an operation of editing ruled lines,
the processor has the following edition function to be
performed when printing two adjoining or adjacent
paragraphs in such a way that one side of a ruled-line
frame pattern for enclosing one of the two paragraphs
overlaps with one side of a ruled-line frame pattern for
enclosing the other of the two paragraphs. Namely, this
edition function is to generate a connecting ruled-line
pattern preliminarily prepared as a frame pattern for an
overlap between the two ruled-line frame patterns in the
case that the two ruled-line frame patterns have a same
attribute. This facilitates an operation of designating
an ruled-line frame pattern and prevents ill effects of
the double printing of a same ruled line.

Abstract: A sentence display control means 65 displays sentences
representing contents of speeches of human characters who appear
in a game and imitating sounds relating to the contents of
speeches in a game content display frame 35 of a monitor 2. A
vibration control means 66 vibrates a vibration pack 16p when
the vibration pack 16p is mounted on a controller 16. A display
mode changing means 67 successively enlarges the sizes of the
respective characters of a sentence representing the content of
the game displayed in the game content display frame 35 when a
specific character display is executed and then reduces them to
an initial size. A link control means 68 links a change of a
display mode by the display mode changing means 67 and driving
of the vibration pack 16p. 
     Accordingly, the contents of speeches of the characters who
appear in the game can be displayed in an emphasized manner to a
game player, thereby making the video game more interesting.

Abstract: A transfer set assembly for transferring fluids between a first container, such
as a conventional medical vial, having a sealed open end and a second container
such as a conventional IV infusion bag. The transfer set includes a collar having
a proximate tubular end portion for securement to the container, a needle cannula
and holder assembly, which is telescopically received in a distal tubular portion of
the collar, and a closure including a tubular body portion having an open proximate
end which is telescopically received over the needle cannula and holder assembly
and the distal tubular portion of the collar, a closed distal end portion and an inner
tubular portion which is integral with the closed distal end. The inner tubular
portion includes a free end having spiral camming surfaces which mate with spiral
camping surfaces on the inside surface of the tubular distal portion of the needle
cannula holder. The tubular body portion of the closure includes lateral slots which
receive projections on the collar and contiguous camming surface which extends
toward the proximate open end of the closure. Rotation of the closure relative to
the collar first drives the mating spiral camming surfaces of the closure and holder
together, thereby driving the needle cannula and holder assembly axially to pierce
the seal of the container. Continued rotation of the closure drives the projections
on the collar against the contiguous angled camming surface, driving the closure
from the collar and providing access to the needle cannula for transfer of fluids to
a second container, such as an IV infusion bag.

Abstract: In order to manufacture a radial tire, first, in an average
waveform recording step, a waveform component of radial force
variation (RFV) by a molding factor in each molding machine, and a
waveform component of RFV by a vulcanization factor in each
vulcanizer are respectively acquired and recorded in a computer. In a
waveform synthesizing step, a radial run-out (RRO, that is, vibrations
resulting from non-uniformity of a tire surface) waveform of a green
tire is substituted by an RFV waveform component and is made to
overlap with respective RFV waveform components of waveforms of a
molding factor and a vulcanization factor, thereby obtaining an RFV
composite waveform. In a selection step, a circumferential position on
the green tire at which an amplitude of the RFV composite waveform
becomes minimum, and the circumferential position in a
vulcanization mold are selected. Further, in a vulcanization step,
based on the selected circumferential positions, the green tire is
disposed and vulcanized in the vulcanization mold. As a result, a
radial tire of which RFV is sufficiently reduced can be obtained.

Abstract: In a method for recognizing speech commands, in which
a group of command words selectable by speech
commands are defined, a time window is defined, within
which the recognition of the speech command is
performed. In a first recognition stage in the method, the
recognition result of the first recognition stage is
selected, for which a first confidence value is
determined. Further in the method, a first threshold
value (Y) is determined, with which said first confidence
value is compared. If said first confidence value is
greater than or equal to said first threshold value (Y), the
recognition result of the first recognition stage is
selected as the recognition result of the speech
command. If said first confidence value is smaller than
said first threshold value (Y), a second recognition stage
is performed for the speech command, wherein said time
window is extended, and a recognition result is selected
for the second recognition stage. A second confidence
value is determined for the recognition result of the
second recognition stage and compared with said
threshold value (Y). If said second confidence value is
greater than or equal to said first threshold value (Y), the
command word selected at the second stage is selected
as the recognition result for the speech command. If said
second confidence value is smaller than said first
threshold value (Y), a comparison stage is performed,
wherein the first and second recognition results are
compared to find out at which probability they are
substantially the same, wherein if the probability
exceeds a predetermined value, the command word
selected at the second stage is selected as the
recognition result for the speech command.

Abstract: A slot-aligned IQ data buffer scheme 100 has a third buffer
106 that allows a processing engine to slide the selection of a
vector to be processed so that it aligns with the framing of the
data. This is particularly advantageous for CDMA and WCDMA
systems where there are overlaying coded data streams, each with
its own frame timing, since data is processed cleanly at
boundaries in the data such that the processing hardware can be
minimized. A first level of muxing 108 selects a pair of
buffers having the data to be processed from among three
buffers. A second level of muxing 110a, 110b selects the sample
number required. The third level of muxing 112a, 112b selects
the correct chips for the alignment of the slot. The third
stage is implemented with a barrel shifter to minimize hardware
generally associated with use of multiplexing.
