Abstract: In a cable system, a video data of a cable program is
distributed from a center system to a subscriber terminal device
via a cable network by using one of frequency-divided channels
of broadcast programs, and two-way communication is carried
out between the subscriber terminal device and the center system
via the cable network. A management unit, provided in the
center system, determines whether a request for two-way
communication sent by the subscriber terminal device is
received when the video data is distributed to the subscriber
terminal device by using a corresponding one of the frequency-divided
channels of broadcast programs. A multiplexing unit,
provided in the center system, multiplexes the video data and
two-way communication downstream data into a multiplex signal
of the corresponding broadcast channel when the reception of
the request is determined by the management unit, so that the
center system transmits the multiplex signal to the subscriber
terminal device via the cable network by using the
corresponding broadcast channel. A data isolation unit,
provided in the subscriber terminal device, isolates the
downstream data and the video data from the multiplex signal of
the corresponding broadcast channel, which is received at the
subscriber terminal device.

Abstract: A technique is used in a speech encoder (107) that reduces non-speech activity of a
low bit rate digital voice message. Speech model parameters that include quantized
speech spectral parameter vectors are generated in a sequence of frames. A
determination is made as to which frames of the sequence of frames are voiced frames
and which frames are unvoiced frames. A consecutive sequence of frames of unvoiced
frames is identified (2330) as an unvoiced burst when a length, N UV , of the consecutive
sequence of frames exceeds a predetermined length, N S . A non-speech activity portion
of the unvoiced burst is identified (2335-2365) and removed.

Abstract: In a power window device including a window open/close
motor, a motor drive unit, a pulse generator, a MCU 2, and a
window open/close switch, an entire window travel region is
divided into a plurality of travel regions, a base median
value A, a base tolerance value N, and a base value K are
set to each of the travel regions, the MCU 2 detects motor
torque values one by one when a window is opened and closed,
compares the detected motor torque values with the base
values K set to the travel regions and stops or reverses a
motor determining that an object is pinched in the window
when the former values exceed the latter values. The MCU 2
finds a corrected base median value B, a rate of change α, a
correction coefficient β, and a corrected base value C in
each travel region, utilizes the corrected base value C as
the corrected base value of the middle point of each travel
region, sets a corrected base line c by connecting the
corrected base values of the middle points of adjacent
travel regions through a straight line, and determines the
presence or absence of a pinched object by comparing a
corrected base line with a detected motor torque value in
each travel region. With this arrangement, there is
provided a method of detecting pinching of an object in a
power window device with high accuracy by changing the 
corrected base value set to each of travel regions.

Abstract: Image enhancement is automatically achieved by calibrating
the reference voltage and gain of a differential amplifier and
the integration interval so as to provide an input to a
differential analog to digital converter (ADC) that utilizes the
full dynamic range of the ADC. When used with a CMOS array, the
imaging logic can be fabricated on a single chip with the array
using combinational logic for fast, inexpensive calibration.
Another advantageous feature is the ability to expand a desired
portion of the luminance spectrum of the image in order to
increase the digital resolution of the resulting image for that
portion of the spectrum of interest.

Abstract: In a video and audio multiplex recording apparatus, an
allocation table of a unit video block and a unit audio block is
generated in a control section, and a control signal is generated
according to the allocation table. Multiplexing data of the data
structure in which each unit video block corresponds to each unit
audio block in 1 to 1, is outputted from a multiplexer according
to the control signal. Accordingly, the correspondence of the
audio data to the video data is distinct, and the audio insert can
be easily conducted. Further, because the data structure which
is not discontinuous at the start portion of the overwrite of the
audio data, is formed according to the allocation table, thereby,
the audio insert in which noises do not occur at the time of
reproducing, can be conducted, and the fine quality audio editing
can be conducted.

Abstract: A tone detector for detecting a tone such a DTMF tone by converting the signal to
the frequency domain, then extracting signal features to input to an artificial neural
network. The neural network is trained to detect the tone, or detect which of many
predetermined tones, is present. It can be arranged to operate more quickly than
conventional tone detection methods. This is particularly significant for coding or
compressing signals which contain tones and other information. Since it is often
more efficient to code or compress such tones separately from the other
information, it can be essential to detect and separate such tones very quickly to
avoid the risk of a single tone being coded or compressed twice, particularly if the
signal is delay sensitive. A telephone conversation is an example.

graphical model, such as a 3-D model. An option to choose a semi-automatic mode of
generation can enable a user to interrupt generation and rework data being transferred

control of dimension and constraint generation such that the process can move from one
step to the next, under a user's control. In another embodiment, a semi-automatic mode
of operation provides a pause in the generation process. During the pause, the user can
rework drawing data or halt the process to perform other tasks. In the absence of an
interruption, the system can proceed to a next item of drawing data.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un manipulateur d'organe comprenant au moins un élément d'aspiration ou un disque adhésif monté sur une articulation souple, à un bras de blocage flexible servant au montage de l'élément d'aspiration ou de l'articulation souple, ainsi qu'à un procédé permettant d'écarter et de suspendre un organe dans une position écartée à l'aide d'une force d'aspiration (ou d'une force adhésive), pour que l'organe soit libre de se déplacer normalement (notamment de battre ou de subir tout autre mouvement d'amplitude limitée) au moins dans la direction verticale pendant les deux étapes. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, un élément d'aspiration exerce une force d'aspiration qui écarte l'organe, par exemple un coeur en train de battre, et le suspend dans sa position écartée pendant l'opération chirurgicale. Pendant que le coeur écarté bat, l'articulation souple lui permet de se dilater et de se contracter librement (et d'effectuer tout autre mouvement naturellement) au moins dans la direction verticale, pour que sa fonction hémodynamique ne soit pas compromise. L'élément d'aspiration se conforme ou peut être amené à se conformer à l'anatomie de l'organe, et sa surface interne est de préférence lisse et garnie d'un matériau absorbant, en vue d'améliorer la traction, sans entraîner de traumatisme pour l'organe.
