Abstract: There is provided a method of repairing an existing pipe (1), which comprises introducing at least one leading pig (3) into the existing pipe through one open end (1a) thereof, introducing behind the leading pig a necessary amount of adhesive agent (5) into the existing pipe through the same open end thereof, fixing one end of a liner tube (6) at the above open end of the existing pipe, in a manner such that the liner tube may be reversed into the existing pipe, and providing a negative pressure into the existing pipe through an opposite open end thereof to cause the leading pig (3) and the adhesive agent (5) to move forwardly and thus cause the unfixed portions of the liner tube to be reversed into the existing pipe. The adhesive agent is caused to move through the existing pipe in the form of a plug flow, thereby coating the whole internal surface of the existing pipe (1) with the adhesive agent, ensuring that the liner tube (6) reversed into the pipe may adhere to the internal surface of the existing pipe.

Abstract: The method of making a paper clip to secure a plurality of sheets of paper together which are located in a stacked relationship. The paper clip produced by the method of this invention comprises a rigid sheet material metallic or composite body which is bendable and when bent, remains in the bent position. The method includes placing the overall configuration of the paper clip on the exterior planar surface of a thin sheet of metal or composite with the configuration of the paper clip including a pair of spaced-apart, normally triangularly shaped wings. Severing the exterior edges of the wings from the sheet of metal. Partially deflecting of the wings from the sheet of metal to a canted position relative to the sheet of metal and with the further possibility of deflecting of the wings by forcing the wings to a side by side relationship with the remaining body of the paper clip. Severing the remaining exterior edge of the paper clip and removing of the paper clip from the sheet of metal.

Abstract: Système d'impression qui imprime une image sur une surface d'impression d'un support d'impression, doté d'un ensemble tête d'impression pourvu de colonnes multiples de têtes d'impression, telles que des têtes d'impression sans impact ou à impact créé par un actionneur électromécanique, des têtes d'impression à jet d'encre ou des têtes d'impression à bulle d'encre, présentant des positions variées dans une dimension verticale de l'ensemble tête d'impression afin d'imprimer dans une colonne imprimable correspondante de l'image. Le support d'impression est déplacé par rapport à l'ensemble tête d'impression dans la dimension verticale pour provoquer l'impression, dans une dimension horizontale, de parties non contiguës sélectionnées d'un segment imprimable défini dans chaque colonne imprimable, par les têtes d'impression ayant différentes position dans la dimension verticale. Un mouvement supplémentaire dans la dimension verticale provoque l'impression de parties non contiguës sélectionnées de segments imprimables définis multiples. En combinant le mouvement dans la dimension verticale avec des mouvements de l'ensemble tête d'impression par rapport au support d'impression dans la dimension horizontale ne dépassant pas la distance la plus large entre deux parties non contiguës consécutives, tous les segments imprimables définis contenus dans l'image sont imprimés.

Abstract: An optical recording and reproducing device of the
present invention has an objective lens designed so as to
form a light spot with a set diameter on a DVD, while to
form, on a CD, a light spot with a set diameter different
from the above diameter. Respective working distances WD1
and WD2 with respect to the DVD and the CD are set in
accordance with deflection standards F for the DVD and
the CD, respectively. By doing so, as compared with
conventional cases where the deflection standards F are
not taken into consideration, the working distance WD1 is
decreased. As a result, the device is thinned, compared
with the conventional cases.

Abstract: A technique to improve the recognition accuracy when transcribing speech data that contains data from a wide range of environments. Input data in many situations contains data from a variety of sources in different environments. Such classes include: clean speech, speech corrupted by noise (e.g., music), non-speech (e.g., pure music with no speech), telephone speech, and the identity of a speaker. A technique is described whereby the different classes of data are first automatically identified, and then each class is transcribed by a system that is made specifically for it. The invention also describes a segmentation algorithm that is based on making up an acoustic model that characterizes the data in each class, and then using a dynamic programming algorithm (the viterbi algorithm) to automatically identify segments that belong to each class. The acoustic models are made in a certain feature space, and the invention also describes different feature spaces for use with different classes.

Abstract: A map data base management system comprises a map
data base storage unit (11) for storing a map index file
so that with respect to regions partitioning each of maps
drawn on a plurality of scales involved with the same
geographical area, an individual region index is
designated to a region, in the manner that a region index
for designating each region constituting a relatively
large-scale map determines region indices for designating
a plurality of regions constituting a map of a scale just
below the relatively large-scale; and a map data file so
that among regions designated by region indices,
individual map data is designated by a scale and a region
index, in the manner that each region having land in a
corresponding scale map has corresponding map data and
each region having no land in a corresponding scale map
has no map data. A map management (13) unit determines
region indices corresponding to a desired longitude and
latitude and a scale applied from the external via an
input unit (12), and reads the map data corresponding to
the desired scale and the determined region index from the
map data base storage unit (11) to then output the read
data. A display unit (17) displays the map data output
from the map management unit (13). Accordingly, the
present invention manages the map data involving the maps
of various scales via the formalized index structure and
the hierarchical structure. Thus, the size of the map
index file can be minimized and the search of the map data
can be simply performed via simple calculation. Also, a
region is classified into one having land and the other
having no land in each scale, which can enable
constitution of the map data base with only geographically
useful map data. Thus, a map data base can be efficiently
constructed.
