Abstract: A system for providing error correction coding having
a selectively variable degree of redundancy includes
generating extended check symbols by performing a Reed-Solomon
operation on unused check symbols that do not form
a portion of an interleaved code word. An extended check
symbol is generated from the unused check symbols appearing
in a column of the unused check symbols. The extended check
symbols are stored and retrieved with the interleaved code
words. Following the decoding of the interleaved code
words and the identification of uncorrectable errors
therein, the extended check symbols are decoded to recover
the corresponding unused check symbols for the previously
uncorrectable interleaved code words. The recovered unused
check symbols are added to the previously uncorrectable
interleaved code words so as to increase the error
correcting capability thereof. The previously
uncorrectable interleaved code words having the recovered
unused check symbols are then decoded and errors therein
corrected accordingly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for
accessing non-relational data stored in records on a host system
by a relational access method. The implementation of a relational
interface component allows data transformation and type
conversion and gives a relational interface to non-relational
data. 
     An integrated mapping component is used to define the relational
structure of non-relational records or data. This relational
structure is used by the application program or data base
request. The mapping component allows to define columns with their
characteristic (i.e. byte offset, data type, length). The
definitions can be grouped in maps equivalent with a relational
table and views represents a subset of the columns defined in a
map. It can be defined multiple different maps and views for one
record. 
     The information of the maps, columns and views are stored in one
repository. The inventive interface component is using the
definitions stored in the repository to access the non-relational
data and splits the records. 
     Preferably based on the SQL language non-relational data like
VSAM data can be accessed from any program using the relational
interface component. 
     The original no-relational data remain unchanged and older
programs works without changes. 
     The present invention gives new possibilities for host based
programs using non-relational access methods and supports the
integration transition or migration into relational environment.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress the generation
of a transient voltage in the settings of gains of a plurality of
variable gain amplifiers of a baseband circuit. A gain converting
circuit provides a limiting value to the quantity of the change of
a gain which can be changed once. If gain input data has large
change and the gain change exceeding the limiting value is
carried out, the quantity of the change is divided into a
plurality of quantities of change equal to or lower than the
limiting value and variable gain amplifiers are controlled to
thereby realize a required gain change. A gain distribution
circuit distributes gain control data to the respective variable
gain amplifiers on the basis of gain output data of the gain
converting circuit.

Abstract: In an information recording and reproducing apparatus,
information representative of first video contents is recorded on a
recording medium. A decision is made as to whether or not a
remaining usable capacity in the recording medium corresponds to
longer than a predetermined time during the recording of the first
video-contents information on the recording medium. When it is
decided that the remaining usable capacity in the recording
medium does not correspond to longer than the predetermined
time, recorded information representative of second video contents
is erased from the recording medium to increase the remaining
usable capacity in the recording medium. Continuing the recording
of the first video-contents information on the recording medium is
enabled due to the erasing of the second video-contents information
from the recording medium.

Abstract: A method and system for providing concatenative speech uses a speech synthesis
input to populate a triphone-indexed database that is later used for searching and retrieval
to create a phoneme string acceptable for a text-to-speech operation. Prior to initiating
the "real time" synthesis, a database is created of all possible triphone contexts by
inputting a continuous stream of speech. The speech data is then analyzed to identify all
possible triphone sequences in the stream, and the various units chosen for each context.
During a later text-to-speech operation, the triphone contexts in the text are identified and
the triphone-indexed phonemes in the database are searched to retrieve the best-matched
candidates.

Abstract: Dynamic and static portions within an electronic document are
identified with special tags. Static portions are less frequently updated
from the original server than dynamic portions. Static and dynamic
portions are cached to a storage area. In one embodiment, both static and
dynamic areas are cached to nonvolatile storage. In another embodiment,
the static portion is cached to a nonvolatile storage location while the
dynamic portion is cached to random access memory. Portions of the
document are thus updateable without needing to retrieve the entire
electronic document. When the user requests an electronic document, the
cache is checked for both static and dynamic portions. Non-stale portions
are retrieved from the cache while stale portions are retrieved from the
original server.

Abstract: Data in the same signal format as conventional CD is recorded to a first part PA1. Compressed digital data in CD-ROM format in double density is recorded to a second part PA2. Addresses of a first session including the first part are represented in the notation of minute, second, and frame. Addresses of a second session including the second part are represented in binary notation. When the record position moved from first session to the second session, the end address of the first session is converted into an address of the second session (at step S3). At step S4, designating the start address as address B, second addresses (for example, addresses represented in binary notation) are generated. When there is a non-record portion between the two sessions, an address value corresponding to the non-record portion is added to the start address. The resultant address is used as the new start address.

Abstract: A device (56) for conditioning the flow of hot gas in a catalytic combustor in
preparation for entry into a catalytic reactor. The device is composed of at
least one and most preferably two or more disks (64, 68) that are secured to a
shroud (60) so as to be disposed in a plane generally perpendicular to the hot
gas flow direction. Each disk is composed of a plurality of small cells oriented
so that flow channels therethrough are axially disposed. The cells linearize
the gas flow and exert drag on the gas flow therethrough. This generates a
static pressure gradient in the flow fields upstream and downstream of the
honeycomb disk, which in turn causes flow adjustments so as to produce a
more uniform axial flow field. This results in a more uniform fuel/air
concentration distribution and velocity distribution (54) at the catalytic reactor
inlet.
