Abstract: The encoder unit of the vocoder device includes the AR code-book, the MA code-book, and the voice source code-book storing code words each corresponding to a set of the AR, the MA, and the voice source parameters, respectively, which are obtained beforehand by means of the "analysis by synthesis" of a multitude of speech waveform examples and then clustering the resulting respective parameters. The AR preliminary selector, the MA preliminary selector, and the voice source preliminary selector select from respective code-books a predetermined finite number of code words approximating the input speech signal, and in synchronism with the voice source position detected by the voice source position detector the speech synthesizer synthesizes a number of synthesized speech waveforms corresponding to the combinations of the selected AR, MA, and voice source parameters. Comparing the synthesized speech waveforms with the current input speech signal waveform, the optimal code word selector selects the combination of the AR, the MA, and the voice source code words having a minimum distance to the input speech signal waveform.

Abstract: Corruption in digital data communications systems is detected, at the receiving end, by taking a number of samples of the received signal within each bit period. Flip flops (4, 7 and 8) are used to take samples from the digitised received signal as follows: flip flop (4), a mid bit sample indicative of the value of the centre of the bit; flip flop (7), a premid sample taken within the bit period before the mid-bit sample; and flip flop (8), a post-mid sample taken within the bit period after the mid-bit sample. Gating circuitry (23, 24, 25) is used to analyse the three samples and give a "good" or "bad" output signal to register 11 as a result of the analysis. Corruption is judged to be present if any one of the samples has a different value to the others.

Abstract: A method of separating three-dimensional images formed from display lists operates directly on the display lists of the surfaces without the need to re-compile the original data values. The image is first rotated so that the volume to be cut extends perpendicularly to the face of the display. A polygon drawn on the image defines the remaining two dimensions of the cut volume. As the display list is mapped to pixels of a two-dimensional image plane for display, the coordinates of the pixels on the two dimensional image plane are used to address a cut buffer holding the defined cut polygon. The value in the cut buffer determines whether or not each point of the display list is to be cut. The cut and uncut data may be separately displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a kinematic-simulation method and a kinematic-simulation apparatus which enable simulation of the behavior of a mechanism by using a CAD figure by a simple operation. The kinematic-simulation method includes an interference operational method according to which a translation is continued until the figure associated with the operation (the driver) comes into contact with the figure associated with interference (the stop). When defining the driver translation, an interference operation is defined, whereby a translation amount (an angle or a vector) can be calculated within a computer. Accordingly, an operator does not input a rotation angle for rotation or a vector for translation.

Abstract: The invention, relating to an easy-open metal container end, places a portion of the metal of the tear panel (12), in the region where a score stop otherwise would be located, under compression by forming a short coined depression or bead (40) in the tear panel, preferably in the public side, close to the score line (15) at least at the end of the vent region (35) opposite from the inner hook (16), which is located at the radially inward end of the tear panel score line. During initial opening or venting action, as the rivet (25) is lifted by initial tab motion, separation proceeds along the score line, beneath the nose (28) of the tab (27). The metal adjacent and in this coined depression tends to move partially underneath the metal on the opposite side of the score line from the coined vent bead. This action provides sufficient disruption or retarding of the score line separation or rupture, during venting, to confine such separation to the vent region until internal pressure is vented. Further separation of the tear panel can proceed under control of continued raising tab motion and resulting opening force. By providing such a coined vent bead, the score stop may be made considerable less deep leaving adequate residual metal along score line (15), or the score stop can be entirely eliminated in some cases, thereby making it possible to achieve consistent and proper venting in ends made of thinner metals, e.g. in the order of 0.009--0.008 inch.

Abstract: In a dumb terminal (103) to which an auxiliary device (109) may be attached, improvements in display definition, and in character generation memory. In the area of display definition, pages (801) may be mapped onto the terminal's display memory (213) and viewports (811) may be mapped onto pages. Page and viewport definition are independent of each other and settable modes (623) permit a viewport to follow the active position. In the area of transfer of data, the source of data for the host computer and the destination of data from the host computer may be specified independently. Improvements in flow control ensure that the host computer can always change the destination of data and gain control of the terminal. Improvements in access control ensure that neither the terminal nor the auxiliary device can monopolize transfer between it and the host. Moreover, transfer can proceed transparently even when non-ASCII 8-bit codes or a 7-bit host-terminal link are involved. Finally, a protocol (1501) permits one portion of character generation memory to be copied to another portion thereof.

Abstract: A body electrode has a carrier layer (1) consisting of an electrode part (2), to which an electrically conducting sensor (4) is applied, and of a conducting part (3) which serves as a connecting part and has an electrically conducting layer (11, 12, 13) connected to the conducting sensor (4), and having an adhesive and conducting layer (17) which covers the free surface of the sensor (4) and is provided for the skin contact. The vulnerability (susceptibility to faults) of the body signals picked up by the body electrode is reduced by providing that an active electrical circuit (10) is inserted between the sensor (4) and the conducting part (3) in a window-type cutout (9) of the carrier layer (1), and by providing the conducting part (3) with supply lines (12, 13) for feeding the operating voltage (UB, earth (frame)) for the active electrical circuit, and with at least one signal line (11). It is thus possible to design the connecting lead (cable) without expensive measures for reducing the influence of disturbances (interference). The preference is for a design of the connecting lead having a conducting part (3) which is connected in one piece to the electrode part (2). Plastic films and paper, in particular, come into consideration as carrier layer (1). <IMAGE>
