Patent DE-19935889-A1 (DE)
Inventor: OGATA HIROKI
IPC: A63F13/5372
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: A main memory (84) stores an operation guidance program for displaying an operation guidance on a display monitor (6) and enabling control members of a manual control input device (2) to emit continuous or flickering light in relation to the operation guidance. Based on a command from the manual control input device (2), a CPU (82) executes the operation guidance program stored in the main memory (84). The operation guidance program enables the control members to emit continuous or flickering light sequentially and displays an operation guidance for at least the control members which are emitting continuous of flickering light on the display monitor. Not only the operation guidance is displayed on the display monitor (6), but also visual sensations are given to the game player by controlling the control members to emit continuous or flickering light on the manual control input device (2).

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and method for a receiver that iteratively detects
and decodes differentially modulated symbols at a relatively lower error rate. The
method and device of the present invention calculates extrinsic and a priori information
and uses such information to more accurately detect and decode information carried by
the symbols. First, a block of samples representing at least one symbol is received.
Reliability information (or soft outputs) is calculated from the received at least one block
of samples and any available a priori information. Extrinsic information and updated a
priori information are obtained from the calculated reliability information and such a
priori information and extrinsic information are iteratively used to recalculate the
reliability information. The iteratively calculated reliability information is ultimately
used to decode information carried by the at least one block of samples.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process wherein the fermentation for producing
citric acid is performed with a mutant strain of  Aspergillus niger,  which can grow in a
mineral anion-free culture medium. The fermentation broth can be clarified by applying
ultrafiltration for removal of proteineous material and polysaccharides. Subsequently the
raffinate can be treated with cation exchange resin and eventually active carbon. The thus
purified citric acid containing syrup is concentrated and citric acid is recovered in the
form of citric acid monohydrate or anhydrous crystals by crystallisation of the
concentrated citric acid containing syrup.
