IPC: H04N7/03
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: A recording device (110) that utilizes a determining device to make a determination whether a user is available to review user selected content at a scheduled time. First, the user makes a selection (115) of content that the user wishes the recording device (110) to record. The recording device then queries a database, such as an electronic programming guide (EPG) to determine the scheduled time of the user-selected content. The recording device (110) then queries the determining device, such as a calendar device (150). In the event that the recording device (110) determines that the user is unavailable at the scheduled time of the selected content, the recording device (110) records the selected content.

Abstract: This concerns a method of using a camera imaging system (254) in a package vending machine (10) to identify packages (223) which have been stored in the vending machine. A plurality of at least one type of package, which is intended to be dispensed by the vending machine, is stored in a package storage area of the package vending machine. Each package includes at least one of a corresponding type of article therein, the package having a plurality of visual attributes, such that if the package is imaged from a plurality of different views, each image acquired from each of the plurality of different views may include a different one ctr more of the the plurality of visual attributes, where one or more of the visual attributes may be sufficient to identity the type of the package in the acquired image. When a user selection input of a desired type of package is received at the vending machine, at least a portion of a camera imaging system, of the vending machine, and a user selected package, arc brought into viewing proximity so that the camera imaging system can obtain a view of at least a portion of the package. The camera imaging system is operated so as to acquire an image of the package selected by the user before it is dispensed. One or more of the visual attributes that are captured in the image are analyzed, and, based on this analysis, the type of the package selected by the user is identified.

Abstract: The communique system for cellular communication networks operates with existing cellular communication networks to provide communique communication services to subscribers. The Communique can be unidirectional (broadcast) or bidirectional (interactive) in nature and the extent of the Communique can be network-wide broadcast or narrowcast, where cells and/or cell sectors are grouped to cover a predetermined geographic area or demographic population or subscriber interest group to transmit information to subscribers who populate the target audience for the narrowcast transmissions. The grouping of cells to form the communique coverage area for the narrowcast transmissions need not be contiguous and can comprise dynamic combinations of contiguous and non-contiguous cells. In addition, the Communique transmission to an individual subscriber can be managed using the hand off capability of the cellular communication network. Thus, if the subscriber roams out of the narrowcast coverage area, the communique transmission to the subscriber is extended from the narrowcast coverage area via an "umbilical" connection on a point-to-point basis using the existing capabilities of the cellular communication network. This enables uninterrupted service for the subscriber even if the subscriber does not continue to remain within the narrowcast coverage area.

Abstract: A node for commonly supplying a ground potential in an
amplification circuit (MMIC11) is formed. The input and
output system ground surfaces of a printed wiring board (PWB)
on which the amplification circuit (MMIC11) is to be mounted
are electrically separated from each other on the printed
wiring board (PWB). Since no ground pattern is present on
the amplification circuit (MMIC11), the ground node of the
amplification circuit (MMIC11) serves as a means for
supplying a true ground potential. While a compact package
is realized by preventing an increase in number of leads,
oscillation is prevented, so a high gain can be realized.

distributed Raman amplifier and a discrete Raman amplifier, based on
signal light powers at a signal light input point to the optical fiber
transmission path and a signal light output point from the optical fiber
transmission path, and signal light powers at a signal light input point to a
DCF(amplifying medium) and a signal light output point from the DCF
within an optical repeater, so that an amount of nonlinear optical effect
caused in one repeating section is brought to a required value or less.

Abstract: There is provided a power transmission system
which is capable of positively preventing a driver from
having a feeling of inertia travel due to torque
transmission interruption during an up-shifting
operation, simply by using synchromeshes alone and
without increasing the axial length of a transmission.
This power transmission system includes first to third
gear pairs (GP1-GP3) each having an input gear (GI) arranged on an
input shaft (14) and an output gear (GO) arranged on an output
shaft (15), and first to third synchromeshes (SR1-SR3) each capable of
performing disconnecting operation for disconnecting a
corresponding one of the first to third gear pairs from
the input shaft or the output shaft, baulking operation
for power transmission until rotations of the
corresponding one of the gear pairs and the input shaft
or the output shaft are synchronized, and connecting
operation for connecting between the corresponding one
of the gear pairs and the input shaft or the output
shaft by meshed engagement. When the speed position of
the transmission is shifted from the M-th speed
position to the L-th speed position, the third
synchromesh is caused to move toward the third gear
pair by a first predetermined amount which is not large
enough to cause the third synchromesh to engage with
the third gear pair, to thereby transmit the driving
force of the input shaft to the output shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for implementing an equalizer which (1) combines
the benefits of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with a maximum-a-posterori
(MAP) equalizer (or a maximum likelihood sequence estimator, MLSE) (2) performs
equalization in a time-forward or time-reversed manner based on the channel being
minimum-phase or maximum-phase to provide an equalization device with
significantly lower complexity than a full-state MAP device, but which still provides
improved performance over a conventional DFE. The equalizer architecture includes
two DFE-like structures, followed by a MAP equalizer. The first DFE forms tentative
symbol decisions. The second DFE is used thereafter to truncate the channel response
to a desired memory of L 1  symbols, which is less than the total delay spread of L
symbols of the channel. The MAP equalizer operates over a channel with memory of
L 1  symbols (where L 1  <= L), and therefore the overall complexity of the equalizer is
significantly reduced.
