Abstract: A circuit and method for buffering a high output impedance voltage generator circuit to a low input impedance load circuit is described. Two emitter-follower stages are used with a load current feedback configuration so that the base to emitter voltages of all four transistors maintain a fixed relationship and therefore the output voltage presented to the load maintains a fixed relationship to the input voltage presented to the buffer amplifier circuit.

Abstract: A computer workstation runs an application 10 to participate in a video conference. The workstation contains a video adapter card 18 which converts a video signal produced by a camera 20 into a hardware specific format. Likewise, the video adapter card can also be used to display incoming video signals that are in the same hardware specific format. The workstation also contains software support modules (SSM). On the capture side, the SSM 16 provides a video signal in bit map form for transmission to terminals in the conference which do not have compatible video hardware. Correspondingly, on the display side the SSM 34 receives and displays incoming video signals in bit map form from other workstations which likewise do not have compatible hardware.

Abstract: The field image signal for each of the color components of a frame color image signal is formed into a signal of odd number field groups and even number field groups of predetermined color sequence connected together in series, and with the color component sped up several times. The signal is scanned, with the signal of a specific color component deflected vertically by half the horizontal scanning spacing amount, the odd number fields and even number fields being deflected in opposite directions. As a result odd number and even number field images are displayed on the black and white display at respective established locations. At the same time, the light color changing means is driven with a signal corresponding to the color component signal, and the non color light signal displayed in black and white is changed into a light signal of a color component corresponding to the signal. As a result a high resolution color image is displayed without color aberration.

Abstract: A powdery α-alumina comprising single-crystal α-alumina grains which are homogeneous and free from any crystal seed inside, form an at least eight-sided polyhedron, and have a D to H ratio of 0.5 to 3.0 (wherein D is the maximum grain diameter in parallel with the hexagonal lattice plane of the α-alumina having a hexagonal closest lattice structure and H is the grain diameter perpendicular to the hexagonal lattice plane thereof), a number-average grain diameter of longer than 5 µm up to 30 µm, a sodium content of less than 0.05 wt.% in terms of Na₂O and an alumina purity of 99.90 wt.% or above. The powdery α-alumina of the invention comprises single-crystal α-alumina grains which are highly pure, fine and homogeneous, have a narrow grain size distribution, are not aggregated, and form an at least eight-sided polyhedron. It is suitable as the raw materials of abrasive, sinter, plasma spraying material, filler, single crystal, catalyst support, phosphor, sealing material and ceramic filter, thus being remarkably useful from the industrial viewpoint. In particular, it has such a high purity that it can be used as the raw material of single crystals of, for example, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), sapphire and ruby, which cannot be prepared from low-purity α-alumina, and as the raw material of high-purity sinter.

Abstract: Un système de paliers magnétiques utilise des boucles conductrices agissant réciproquement avec des aimants (26, 28, 29) pour soulever un rotor (16-18) et le centrer sur un axe de rotation (A1). Le rotor possède une pluralité de boucles fermées (22, 24) en matériau à conductivité et inductance finies. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, chaque boucle est soumise simultanément à deux champs magnétiques et ses aimants sont soumis aux champs de façon équilibrée. Ceci produit des forces magnétiques égales et opposées, de telle manière qu'aucun courant ne circule. Cependant, quand la boucle dévie latéralement de son trajet prescrit, l'intérieur de la boucle est soumis à des champs inégaux. Ceci produit un courant exerçant une force, de façon à ramener la boucle vers le trajet.

Abstract: An interactive computer system having a processor executing a target computer program, and having a speech recognizer for converting an utterance into a command signal for the target computer program. The target computer program has a series of active program states occurring over a series of time periods. At least a first active-state image is displayed for a first active state occurring during a first time period. At least one object displayed in the first active-state image is identified, and a list of one or more first active-state commands identifying functions which can be performed in the first active state of the target computer program is generated from the identified object. A first active-state vocabulary of acoustic command models for the first active state comprises the acoustic command models from a system vocabulary representing the first active-state commands. A speech recognizer measures the value of at least one feature of an utterance during each of a series of successive time intervals within the first time period to produce a series of feature signals. The measured feature signals are compared to each of the acoustic command models in the first active-state vocabulary to generate a match score for the utterance and each acoustic command model. The speech recognizer outputs a command signal corresponding to the command model from the first active-state vocabulary having the best match score.

Abstract: A superabsorbent polymer having improved absorption under pressure and fast absorption rate is obtained by first providing a solution containing carboxylic acid monomers or water soluble salts thereof, and a crosslinking agent. A carbonate blowing agent and a polymerization initiator are added, individually or in combination, to the solution to form a carbonated monomer solution. A polymerization initiator is then added to the carbonated monomer solution which is then polymerized at temperatures ranging from about 0°C to about 130°C, forming a microcellular hydrogel. The microcellular hydrogel is chopped or ground into gel pieces having a particle diameter ranging from about 0.1 mm to about 5.0 cm. The gel pieces are dried at temperatures ranging from about 85°C to about 210°C, and are then ground to form a polymer having a particle size of from about 0.05 mm to about 5.0 mm. A mixture is formed from 100 parts by weight of the polymer and about 0.001 to about 30 parts by weight of a surface crosslinking agent. The polymer is reacted with the surface crosslinking agent to crosslink molecular chains existing on a surface of the polymer, forming the superabsorbent polymer.
