Title: Video game and communication system to be used in an hotel room.
Inventor: SMITH DARREN C
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1994-09-27
Abstract: A video game/communications system is disclosed which permits guest room guests to actively participate in video game play or to use other data processing/communication services. A multi-tasking master host computer (7) stores video games and other application programs on its hard disk (7A), downloads programs to an array (11) of SNES game playing engines (I to N) in response to guest selections. Each guest room guest room includes a terminal device (2) which is coupled to the guest's color television (1) and to a game controller (3). By pressing a game controller menu key, the guest room guest initiates the downloading of applications software by the host computer to the array of SNES engines located within the guest room. A downloaded applications program generate a display menu which appears on the guest's television (1). The display menu permits each guest room guest to select between various operating modes (identified, for example, by displayed icons), including movies, games, shopping, survey forms, language selection, communication/data processing services, etc. If a user opts for video game play, then the available game titles and/or descriptions thereof are displayed. The host computer (7) assigns a time slot to both a guest room terminal (2) and a SNES game playing engine for passing game play indicating key strokes from the room's game controller to the SNES engine. Audio and video outputs from each of the SNES engines is connected to a channel modulator that places the composite signal on an assigned frequency in the RF distribution system. The assignment is communicated to the room terminal during an initial interactive session, whereby the terminal tunes the TV to the proper channel for its assigned SNES engine. <IMAGE>

IPC: G11B20/14

Abstract: In digital signal recording apparatus using I-NRZI
modulation for recording, the need for intermittently
reading or intermittently writing buffer storage is
eliminated by using parallel-bit precoding to generate the
channel words that are selected between for recording. The
precoders (106) perform precoding on an accelerated basis
using ripple-through integration of the alternate
successive bits used to form each channel word. Two
precoders (106) generate (n+1)-parallel-bit channel words
at a channel word rate slower by a factor of (n+1) than
the rate of a system clock for the I-NRZI modulation. This
leaves additional time during each channel word interval
to carry out a decision procedure, which determines which
of the channel words generated by the two precoders is to
be selected for recording. There is also sufficient
additional time for completing a subsequent updating
procedure, in which precoding information stored in the
precoder that did not generate the selected channel word
is altered, to conform to precoding information stored in
the precoder that did generate the selected channel word.
The parallel-bit channel words from the precoders (106)
are converted to serial-bit format for recording with a
bit rate equal to that of the system clock. The parallel-bit
channel words from the precoders are converted to
serial-bit format with an effective bit rate that is
substantially higher than that of the system clock, to
provide a signal for timely implementing the decision and
updating procedures.

controller(14) becomes conductive and turns off the switch
(12). The switch (12) remains non-conductive until the load
(38) is disconnected from the protection element (10). The
protection element (10) further includes a temperature sensor
(24) that turns off the switch (12) at high temperatures and a
current limiting element (28) that imposes an upper limit on
the current flowing through the protection element (10).
Control signals can be applied to the gate electrodes of the
switch (12) and the control FET (14) to modulate the current in
the protection element (10).

Abstract: An electric source signal supplied from a battery of a
vehicle is composed of a direct current component and an
alternating current component. The alternating component is
classified into an alternator noise of which a frequency
changes in proportional to an engine speed of the vehicle and
other noises. Also, as the engine speed is heightened, a
vehicle noise in the inside of the vehicle is heightened. The
direct current component of the electric source signal is
removed in an alternating current component passing circuit,
the other noises are removed in a band pass filter, and the
alternator noise is obtained. Thereafter, a frequency of the
alternator noise is calculated in a microcomputer, and a
volume of a sound reproduced by a speaker of an on-vehicle
stereo and a tone of the sound are adjusted according to the
frequency of the alternator noise. Therefore, a driver can be
entertained with a music without being disturbed by the
vehicle noise.

Abstract: An ATM communications network includes a system processor having a
device driver and a memory coupled to an adapter at an interface. Frames
stored in the memory are transmitted to the network using a transmit
ready queue residing in the adapter and defined by transmit control
registers. The frames are linked together by descriptors and pointers to
received ready lists maintained by the device driver. A transmit frame
complete list is established in the system memory using the transmit
control registers. An interrupt is generated by the adapter indicating
when frame transmission is complete. Simultaneously, cells are received
from the network and stored in system memory according to a free buffer
list established by the device driver. A pointer is maintained by the
device driver to the last entry of the receive free buffer list. The
adapter maintains a pointer to the next buffer to be used from the
receive free buffer list. A receive ready list is established by the
device driver in system memory with the location indicated to the adapter
via the receive control registers in the adapter. The receive data cells
are reassembled into frames in buffers from the free buffer list. At
completion of a received frame, the frame is added to an appropriate
receive ready list. An interrupt is generated to the processor by the
adapter when one or more completed frames reside on the receive ready
list for transmission to the network.

Abstract: A belt-type continuously variable transmission (1) has a
pulley side pressure control valve (40) for controlling side
pressures of driving and driven pulleys (5, 8) and a controller
(60) for controlling the pulley side pressure control valve
(40). This controller (60) has a correcting device (63) for
correcting a belt transmission torque calculated by a belt
transmission torque calculator (62) when the polarity of the
belt transmission torque changes. This correcting device (63)
adds to the belt transmission torque for a predetermined time
a correction value (T DG ) corresponding to a peak torque (T P ) of
the belt transmission torque (T BLT ) arising at times of throttle
opening and closing. That is, because the nelt transmission
torque is corrected in correspondence with the peak torque
arising at times of throttle opening and closing, the side
pressures of the pulleys (5, 8) are kept at suitable values at
all times and slippage of the metal V-belt (7) is prevented.

Abstract: A flattened heat-transfer tube (3) is formed by
superimposing on each other a pair of plane portions (7) provided
at both ends of a plate of aluminum alloy are superimposed on
each other to thereby form a joint (8). The joints (8) are positioned
on the downwind side, and folded portions (6) having a U-shaped
cross section are positioned on the windward side.
Accordingly, there is a tendency to spread kinetic energy of
foreign substances resulting from collision with the folded
portions over their entirety, thereby preventing the
application of high degree of stress to part of the flattened
heat-transfer tubes, as well as contributing to improvements in
the durability of the flattened heat-transfer tubes.

Abstract: A well logging method and apparatus are disclosed for determining borehole
corrected formation resistivity, borehole diameter, and borehole fluid (mud) resistivity with
improved accuracy. A logging device in the borehole transmits electromagnetic energy
from a transmitter, which energy is received at receivers on the logging device. The phase
and amplitude of the received energy are measured at the receivers and a phase shift, phase
average, and attenuation are associated with the transmitter-to-receivers spacing. The
process is then repeated for a plurality of further transmitters having different spacings
from the receivers. A formation and borehole model having model values of borehole
corrected formation resistivity, borehole diameter, and borehole fluid resistivity is
generated. Values of borehole corrected formation resistivity, borehole diameter, and
borehole fluid resistivity that would produce a model phase shift, phase average and
attenuation corresponding to the measured values of these parameters are then determined.
