Abstract: In an echo canceller, a first adaptive filter (1) estimates an impulse response of an echo path between reception and transmission side by an NLMS algorithm to synthesize a pseudo echo, while a second adaptive filter (3) determines whether there is an echo path change or a double talk. A voice detector (8) detects a short time power of the received input signal (x) to determine whether far-end speech is present or absent, wherein said voice detector controls said second adaptive filter (3) to execute adaptation of said second adaptive filter for renewal of an impulse response of an echo path when far-end speech is present and otherwise to suspend the adaptation of said second adaptive filter when far-end speech is absent, while a double talk detector (9) controls the first adaptive filter to execute or suspend adaptation of the first adaptive filter according to the determination results of the voice detector.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for reducing targeting errors that arise when trying to locate contaminant particles on a notched semiconductor wafer using a high-magnification imaging device, based on estimates of wafer feature positions obtained from a scanning device. A notched semiconductor wafer is scanned (10) with a scanning device to obtain scanning device coordinates for the positions of: (i) the wafer center (14); (ii) the wafer notch (12); and (iii) contaminant particles on the wafer (16). Next, the wafer notch and wafer center (20, 26) are found with an imaging device and obtains their estimated imaging device coordinates. Subsequently, estimated transformation parameters are calculated (34) for a coordinate transformation between the coordinate systems of the scanning device and the imaging device based on the scanning device coordinates and the estimated imaging device coordinates of the wafer notch and the wafer center. Finally, the scanning device coordinates of the particles on the wafer are transformed (36) to estimated imaging device coordinates using the estimated transformation parameters.

Abstract: The occurrence and location of a disturbance (22) in the vicinity of a localized portion of an optical fiber (18) are determined based on the recognition that such a disturbance changes the polarization condition of signals backscattered from the disturbed portion. Thus, multiple consistently polarized optical pulses (from 12, 14) are applied to an input end of the fiber, and only signals (from 28) of a particular polarization that are backscattered from the disturbed portion are abstracted from the input end. An output signal (from 36) indicative of the disturbance is generated by processing these backscattered signals in accordance with synchronous detection techniques (by 32, 34).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering multimedia video data from a server (host processor) to a plurality of clients connected to a communications network. More specifically, with this invention, preprocessed video and multimedia data packets are striped across disks in units of fixed playback time, even if such units result in variable length stripes. To deliver multiple video or continuous media streams, the disks in the array are accessed simultaneously so that at any given instance, different disks are accessing the video or multimedia data for different streams. Access to the disks for reading the continuous media files is scheduled periodically, with the period equal to the back time of the stripes. Because each disk read command retrieves data for a fixed play back time, if the first read command for a continuous media stream request can be scheduled to complete on a disk within a playback time, all subsequent read commands are also guaranteed to not interfere with read commands of other streams. Data is delivered directly from the disk array to the communication network by a stream controller without being sent to the host system. Disk storage is utilized efficiently by allocating disk space in units of cylinders and storing the variable size stripes of video in packed format.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of an amphoteric water-soluble polymer that is stably storable, easily flowable and good for handling as well as a method of manufacturing the same and its possible applications are provided according to the invention. Such an aqueous dispersion can be effectively used as a treating agent such as a chemical for flocculating and/or dehydrating raw sludge, excess sludge, digested sludge or any mixtures thereof derived from municipal sewage, human waste or general industrial waste water, or as a chemical for separating and treating oil from oil-containing industrial waste water, as a drainage aid, a retention aid, a chemical for recovering useful and valuable substances from white water in the papermaking process. The aqueous dispersion of an amphoteric water-soluble polymer according to the invention is obtained by polymerizing a mixture of monomers comprising a specific cationic monomer and an anionic monomer as essential components with stirring in an aqueous salt solution incapable of dissolving the produced polymer and in the presence of a polymer electrolyte dispersant soluble in said aqueous salt solution. Such an aqueous dispersion is highly effective when the concentration of the produced amphoteric water-soluble polymer in the aqueous dispersion, the concentration of the salt, the concentration of the dispersant, the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion, and the average diameter of the particles of the amphoteric water-soluble polymer in the aqueous dispersion are respectively found within specific ranges.

Abstract: A salt water electrolysis process for electrolyzing an aqueous alkali chloride solution capable of preventing the deterioration of a gas diffusion cathode is disclosed. A cation-exchange membrane (12) having closely disposed to one surface thereof an insoluble metal anode (15) and having closely adhered or mechanically attached to the opposite surface thereof a liquid permeable gas diffusion cathode (23) is disposed in an electrolytic cell, and electrolysis is carried out while supplying salt water to the anode chamber and an oxygen-containing gas containing water as steam or fine water droplets to the cathode chamber, and an alkali hydroxide is obtained from the cathode chamber. The water-containing gas directly reaches the gas diffusion cathode and since the alkali hydroxide and the alkali carbonate formed at the surface of the cathode are dissolved in the water in the gas and removed from the electrolytic cell, deterioration of the gas diffusion cathode can be prevented.

Abstract: The method involves inserting a picture having a first and a second half frames, into a picture having a first and a second row raster with doubled row frequency. The two halves of the insertion picture are stored in a first and second memory, and are read from it at a doubled line frequency. The phase relation of the main picture to one of the stored insertion picture halves is determined as one of four possible combinations. A localisation signal is produced to determine the actual read out position w.r.t. the overlap position between write-in and read-out of the picture stores. In a first phase relation, the second image memory is read into the first row raster of the main picture, and in a fourth relation the image of the first memory is read into the second row raster of the main picture. In the second condition the first stored half is read into the first main image raster, and in a third condition the second half is read into the second raster. An appropriate line skew is executed in response to the localisation signal for each half image read-out.

Abstract: A polycrystalline silicon layer which serves as a heating resistor is laid on a Si substrate, whereby a heating area 25 and a low-resistance area 26 are formed. In this event, the area of the heating area 25 is set according to the physical properties of ink squirted from a corresponding nozzle. As a result, the amount of ink droplet to be squirted becomes an optimum value, and the quality of an image is improved. Further, the heating area 25 is formed such that the resistance of the heating area becomes larger as the area of the heating area becomes smaller. Eventually, the amounts of energy per unit area of the heating areas become equal to each other, and ink-jet nozzles can be actuated using the same drive pulse.
