IPC: G01S7/62

Abstract: To extract a target object having a desired size from
a bidimensonal image, horizontal direction filtering
suppresses image components less than the desired size in
the horizontal direction and thereby outputs a result of
horizontal filtering. At the same time, vertical direction
filtering suppresses image components less than the desired
size in the vertical direction and thereby outputs a result
of vertical filtering. The results of the horizontal and
vertical filtering are superposed to produce a final
filtered result corresponding to the target object. During
the filtering, pixel data making up the bidimensonal image
are sequentially connected in the vertical or horizontal
direction in a preselected connecting area to produce
gradation sequence of the pixels and then subjected to FFT
to transform the gradation sequence into frequency domain
and to thereby frequency selection to select desired
harmonics components corresponding to the target object
from the FFT result.

Abstract: A speech synthesizing method which synthesizes speech
naturally is disclosed. Standardized frame power values of an
n-th frame is calculated when frame power values at head and
tail frames in a phoneme are standardized. An average value of
the power values sampled from the power frequency
characteristics in the n-th frame at a predetermined frequency
interval is set as a mean frame power value. A sum of squares
of signal levels in one frame of a frequency signal from a
sound source is calculated as a frame power correction value.
A speech envelope signal is calculated as a function having
variables of the standardized frame power values, the frame
power correction value and the mean frame power value. The
speech envelope signal adjusts the amplitude level of a speech
waveform signal supplied from a vocal tract filter according
to the level of the speech envelope signal.

Abstract: An ink jet print head is provided that includes a nozzle plate (3)
having an outer metal layer (5) having nozzles for ejecting ink drops, and a
coating of a non-wetting polymer (39) chemically bound over the outer surface of
the metal layer of the plate. Preferably, the polymer is a block polymer (41)
