IPC: G01D5/244
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: Processing circuitry is provided for processing
signals received from, for example, sense coils forming
part of a position encoder used to encode the relative
positions of two relatively moveable members. The
position encoder is such that each of the plurality of
signals from the sense coils varies sinusoidally with the
relative position of the members but out of phase with
respect to each other. The processing circuitry
comprises mixers for multiplying each of the received
signals with one of a corresponding plurality of periodic
time varying signals, each having the same predetermined
period and a different predetermined phase, and an adder
for adding the signals from the mixers. The phase of the
mixing signals are chosen so that the output signals from
the adder contains a single periodic component having the
predetermined period whose phase varies with the relative
position of the two members. Preferably, a reference
channel is provided in order to allow for compensation of
common phase errors in both channels. The period time
varying signals multiplied with each of the signals from
the position encoder preferably comprise a two or three
level square wave signal having a number of transitions
designed to reduce the low order harmonic content of the
mixing signals.

Patent EP-1387352-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DAME STEPHEN G
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2003-07-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that dynamically applies the energy of the voice
as a control signal to modulate the volume of an input microphone signal to achieve dynamic
voice activated noise suppression. When the energy of the microphone signal is low, very little
amplification energy is applied to boost the volume of the microphone signal. If the energy is
medium to high, amplification energy is applied to the microphone output sufficient to raise the
signal level to audible levels. The perceptual effect of this is that the ambient noise appears (to
the listener) to be removed from the signal. This is due to the psychoacoustic effect that louder
signals tend to mask softer signals (even if the softer signals are noise). Generally, even in a
high noise environment, the energy of the noise signal is somewhat lower than the direct spoken
input to a microphone, due to the proximity of the typical microphone to the speaker's mouth.
When the person stops speaking, the volume of the amplified noise input immediately (within 6
- 20 milliseconds) tracks the voice energy downward and is thus perceived by the listener to be
suppressed immediately after the speaker finished their spoken utterances.

Abstract: A tool for designing integrated circuits that optimizes the placement and timing of
memory blocks within the circuit. Given a manufactured slice that has a number of blocks
already diffused and logically integrated, the memory generation tool herein automatically
considers the available diffused memory and the gate array of the slices to configure and
optimize them into a customer's requirements for memory. The memory generation tool
has a memory manager, a memory resource database, a memory resource selector, and a
memory composer. Together these all interact to generate memories from the available
memories within the memory resource database. The memory composer actually generates
the RTL logic shells for the memories, and outputs the memory designs in Verilog, VHDL,
or other tool synthesis language. Once a memory is created, it is tested. Upon successful
testing, the memory manager updates the memory resource database to indicate the
successfully tested memory is no longer available as a resource for the generation of further
memories. A design integrator may review the memory designs output and further integrate
the memory, its timing, testing, etc. with other blocks and functions of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus for sorting flowers (F), having in a horizontal plane a conveyor (1)
with an endless conveyor chain (2) having attached thereto, at predetermined
intermediate distances, forks (6) movable between at least two positions, being
a transport position and a hang-in position, 
having at least a single detection station for determining at least a single
corresponding characteristic of each flower (F), and having a computer for
recording the characteristic, and, in accordance therewith, delivering each
flower (F) at discharge stations arranged for that purpose, wherein 
the apparatus further comprises at least a single hang-in buffer conveyor (10)
with an endless buffer transport element (11) having buffer forks (12) attached
thereto, from which the flowers (F) hanging therein are taken over by the forks (6),
while the passing speed of the forks (6), N v , and that of the buffer forks (12), N b ,
meet N v  > N b . 
     More particularly, the conveyor chain (2) and the buffer transport element (11) are
driven, mutually coupled, with a control element (20). 
     Advantageously, with this apparatus, flowers (F) can be sorted fast in large
quantities. In particular, even with manual hanging-in, a high filling
capacity with a correspondingly high filling degree is obtained. 
     In addition, such a buffer affords the possibility of hanging-in flowers (F) from
the site of cultivation, such as a glasshouse.

Abstract: In an ultrasonic bonding method that bonds a material to a bonding surface by the
application of ultrasonic vibration, both side faces of the material in the direction of
ultrasonic vibration are clamped by an application member that applies a predetermined
ultrasonic vibration, and by a clamping member. The clamping member is synchronously
vibrated by ultrasonic vibration transmitted through the material from the application
member, and the material is bonded to the bonding surface while being pressed against
the application member and against the bonding surface. In this method, high bonding
quality can be achieved by efficiently transmitting ultrasonic vibration from the
application member to a material to be bonded, and the material can be prevented from
tilting, cracking, chipping, or the like without being subjected to a special working
operation, for example, forming of a chamfered portion.
