Abstract: An information playback apparatus is provided, which
provides a more convenient operation when a piece of music or the
like is switched to another to be played continuously and to play
a sound which sounds natural during the switching manipulation.
When a loop-in button key (Pin) is manipulated to be ON, the number
of beats (beat density) BPMreal per unit time of music or the like
being played is measured, and a time (60/BPMreal) × Kbpm in
proportion to a ratio of the beat density BPMreal to a certain
beat density Kbpm pre-set by the user or the like is computed.
Then, audio data, such as music, corresponding to a range from
a point (tin) at which the loop-in button key (Pin) is manipulated
to be ON to a point (Tout) at which the computed time has passed,
is stored into a loop data memory (MLOOP). Consequently,
repetitive playback is performed based on audio data stored in
the loop data memory (MLOOP) at a tempo (the number of beats per
unit time) adjusted to the certain be at density Kbpm until a loop-off
button key (Poff) is manipulated to be ON.

Abstract: The invention provides an electrolyte membrane that allows an operating temperature of a solid polymer membrane fuel cell to be increased, and an operating temperature of a solid oxide fuel cell to be lowered. This electrolyte membrane can be used in a fuel cell that is operable in an intermediate temperature range. The invention also provides a fuel cell using such an electrolyte membrane. According to the invention, dense layers (21, 22 and 24) made of hydrogen permeable metal are provided on both sides of a polymer electrolyte layer (20) in a solid polymer membrane fuel cell. Consequently, the run-off of moisture contained in the electrolyte layer (20) can be inhibited. Moreover, the operating temperature of the fuel cell can be raised. On the other hand, in a solid oxide fuel cell, a dense layer made of a hydrogen permeable metal is employed as a substrate (43, 53), and electrolyte layers are formed on the substrate. Consequently, the electrolyte layers can be made sufficiently thin, and furthermore, the operating temperature of the solid oxide fuel cell can be lowered.

Abstract: To improve degradation of recognition performance due to eye detection
errors during face verification and to over a problem in that sufficient data to design
an optimum feature classifier cannot be obtained during face registration, a method
includes shifting the positions of eyes detected during face registration in
predetermined directions by a predetermined distance to generate pairs of new
coordinate points of the eyes; normalizing a face image on the basis of each pair of
new coordinate points of the eyes; using the results of normalization in learning a
feature classifier, thereby coping with eye detection errors. In addition, two
threshold values are used to prevent a database from being updated with a face of
an unregistered person and to update the database with a normal client's face image
that has been used during the latest face verification.

Abstract: For automatically predicting machine failure a transducer sensor, such as piezoelectric crystal, is applied to a machine for sensing machine motion and structure-borne sound, including vibration friction, and shock waves. The structure-borne sound and motion sensed is converted to electrical signals which are filtered to leave only the friction and shock waves, which waves are processed, as by detecting the envelope and integrating beneath the envelope, resulting in a measure of friction and shock wave energy, i.e., stress wave energy. This measure is computed and processed for producing fault progression displays for periodic and aperiodic damage. This is accomplished in a personal computer, menu-driven environment.
