Abstract: An audio processing apparatus is constructed for generating an
auxiliary audio signal based on an original audio signal and mixing the
auxiliary audio signal to the original audio signal. In the apparatus, a control
section designates a pitch of the auxiliary audio signal. A processing section
processes the original audio signal under control of the control section to
generate the auxiliary audio signal having the designated pitch, and applies a
first effect to the generated auxiliary audio signal. An effector section
applies a second effect different from the first effect to the original audio
signal. An output section outputs the original audio signal applied with the
second effect concurrently with the auxiliary audio signal applied with the
first effect. The control section may control the processing section to alter
the first effect dependently on a difference between a pitch of the original
audio signal and the designated pitch of the auxiliary audio signal.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for providing optimized access to pointer or externally-tagged primitive type data-values. The invention maintains a type identifier external to the variable that contains the data-value. The invention determines the type distribution of data-values stored in the variable and optimizes access to the variable accordingly. Some of these optimizations are targeted towards called routines and the call sites for the called routines. Other optimizations are targeted towards object-oriented programming language implementations. These optimizations generate optimized versions of a class/map. Objects are linked to the optimized versions of the class/map depending on the type configuration of the data-values stored in the object. Thus, the invention optimizes access to variables in the object when the object contains commonly used type configurations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method of binarization to be used in an OCR system consisting in determining text
pixels by checking, for each pixel, that the difference between its value and the
values of a plurality of pixels located at a predetermined distance therefrom is
greater than a relative threshold corresponding to the difference in intensities
between the text and the background of the image, subsampling the image at a
rate corresponding to at least two pixels in order to detect kernels of text, and
binarizing the image pixels only in tiles of several stroke width sides containing text
kernels by using in each tile, an absolute threshold estimated in this tile. The step
of determining text pixels consists, for each analyzed pixel, in checking that either
one of the differences between the value of the analyzed pixel and the value of the
two pixels located at each intersection of a circle (12) centered at the location of
the analyzed pixel and having a radius equal to the stroke width with each one of
the row line, column line and both lines at the angle of 45 degrees, is greater than
the relative threshold.

Abstract: Pièce rapportée en entonnoir servant à transformer une boîte boisson vide en cendrier. Le bout de l'entonnoir est simplement enfilé dans l'ouverture d'une boîte boisson. Les dimensions du bord externe de la pièce rapportée, calculées avec précision, permettent de retenir la boîte. Des moyens de fixation permettent de placer le cendrier dans diverses positions (posé, suspendu). Il n'est pas nécessaire d'écraser la cigarette étant donné que cette dernière traverse l'entonnoir et s'éteint d'elle même par manque d'oxygène. La tâche fastidieuse de vider et de nettoyer les cendriers est également évitée. Lorsque la boîte est pleine de cendres elle est simplement remplacée par une boîte vide. Le couvercle de la pièce rapportée permet d'éviter les odeurs désagréables. La pièce rapportée en entonnoir servant à former un cendrier peut être réutilisée aussi souvent que désiré.
