Abstract: To overcome the lack of support in time-sharing and uniprocessor operating systems such as the UNIX® operating system for real-time and multiprocessor applications, there is provided an asynchronous inter-process communications capability that can be grafted onto the operating systems. Communicating processes (100, 103) communicate via datagram messages through logical asynchronous inter-process communications links (110) each having a synchronous segment (101) and an asynchronous segment (102). The links include a message-serving hub process (11) that communicates in a synchronous, buffer and semaphore based, manner with processes (100) that are message senders, and communicates in an asynchronous, queue and signals based, manner with processes (103) that are message destinations. The hub process may be implemented at any process level of the operating system.

Abstract: When background noise is superposed on speech, a speech decoder can well represent the background noise through signal processing only in the speech decoder even at low bit rates. In the speech decoder, a decoding circuit receives a signal from a speech coder, a speech detecting circuit detects non-speech and speech intervals, and a excitation signal calculating circuit calculates a excitation signal using a sound source signal, a pitch period, and an average amplitude. A signal reproducing circuit drives a filter composed of a spectrum parameter to reproduce a sound signal. A searching circuit stores a set of random number code vectors of a predetermined bit number as a code book, and searches the code book for a best random number code vector which is selected. A second signal reproducing circuit reproduces a sound signal (noise) using the selected random number code vector.

Abstract: A dual time base, zero dead zone time domain reflectometer repetitively launches a predetermined number of stimulus pulses into a transmission system (18) in synchronism with clock signals from a first time base (10), providing a measurement cycle. The duration of the launched stimulus pulses, determined by a predetermined number clock cycles from the first time base, exceeds the total propagation time of the system to be measured so that a time interval between a launch and a reflection may be measured within the launched pulse. A second time base (24), which has a predetermined period that differs from the period of the first time base and defines a measurement period divided into equal sub-periods, continuously produces clock signals, one or more of which may be counted during the time interval. The result is that over a predetermined number of repetitive pulses launched and associated time intervals presented to the second time base and count logic circuits, a count signal will be produced for each incremental sub-period occurring during the time interval being measured. Accordingly, the total count is proportional to the duration of the time interval being measured. Since the measured time interval is produced by the launched pulse and its reflection, there is no dead zone. Also, the circuit design is very simple, and lends itself to manifestation in a low cost, low power, hand-held and battery operated TDR for locating faults on 10 base-T, Token Ring, T1, Telco lines, and other twisted-wire pair applications in local area networks, as well as general cable testing.

Abstract: In a sheet fed inkjet printer (100) in which liquid ink is applied to a sheet of print medium in a succession of horizontal swaths, throughput is increased by a throughput enhancement means (129) which changes an actual throughput rate determined by the sum of (a) a first elapsed time between the initial positioning of the print head adjacent a top portion of the sheet before the first horizontal swath has been printed and the final positioning of the print head at a bottom portion of the sheet after the last horizontal swath has been printed and (b) a sheet feeding delay equal to a second elapsed time between the final positioning of one sheet and the initial positioning of a next sheet. The printer has a densitometer means (128) responsive the respective locations of the dots for locating a densely printed area of said one sheet and a stacking means (121) for stacking successive said sheets after they have been printed. The printer also has an anti-smear means (130) responsive to the densitometer means for causing the throughput means to maintain the actual throughout rate below a value where a next sheet is likely to come into contact with a densely printed area of a preceding sheet in the stacking means before the ink in said densely printed area of said preceding sheet has dried to a point where it is not subject to being smeared by such contact with said next sheet.

Abstract: A plurality of the areas of differing light reflectivity of a bar code symbol (34) or the like are simultaneously illuminated using, for example, a beam of laser light (22) that has an elongate cross-section. The light beam (22) is swept over the symbol to be read in a direction transverse to the elongated dimension of the illuminated region (78) so that a two-dimensional area (42) of the symbol is illuminated over time. The reflected light is sensed by a 1D CCD array (50). A microprocessor (52) within the scanner provides visual feedback to aid a user in aligning the device, and also provides for a selectable aspect ratio for the image, a selectable image resolution and size, a selectable aspect ratio of the illumination, and a selectable pixel size. All of these options may be programmed within the microprocessor (52), enabling the device to read a large variety of two-dimensional symbols.
