Abstract: A method for determining whether portions of text have been copied during electronic copying, photocopying, or scanning of a document. The method comprises generating a target code from a target passage of the text, determining whether a sample passage of text includes the target code, and, upon successful determination, initiating an action if the sample passage of text includes the target code. A method of generating a code representative of a passage of text uses a spacing between respective occurrences of one or more key symbol strings within the text. By comparing the known code of a target text passage with the code generated from a sample text passage, it is easy to determine whether the target text has been used within the sample. The method may be integrated within a copying device.

Abstract: Sealed delivery unit 10 (shown in exploded format in FIG. 1A) contains medication 10M, and is formed by a generally flat member 10F pressed into selective engagement with an opposed shaped member 10S. Pumping chamber 12P, enclosed between the members generates a rupturing pressure in response to an external force applied by the user (indicated by arrow F shown in FIG. 1B). Enclosed Medication chamber 12M contains the medication to be delivered. Tunnel conduit 14 provides fluid communication between the chambers for rupturing the medication chamber in response to the rupturing pressure. Perimeter seal 16 extends around the pumping chamber and the medication chamber and the tunnel conduit. The perimeter seal is secure enough to withstand the internal rupturing pressure generated during delivery. Delivery port 18 with pull-away closure 18C (see FIG. 1C) delivers the medication out of medication chamber 12M. Rupture site 18S is proximate the delivery port. Rupture flap 18F produced by the rupturing at the rupture site, is connected to the pull-away closure. The flap projects outward permitting the user to grasp the pull-away the closure and open the delivery port for delivery of the medication.

Abstract: The invention relates to a host for managing multicast traffic in a data network. The hosts (200,220,225,230) store for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and the network interfaces of the hosts send to the router (260) a message containing information about the included source record and/or information about the excluded source record. The router (260) also stores for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and updates them when it receives through its network interface a message from the hosts (200,220,225,230) containing information about an included source list and/or information about an excluded source list.

Abstract: The device (14) has a digital audio signal processing circuit including a reduction unit with an echo cancellation stage (40) having a linear adaptive filter to subtract a reference signal from a signal picked up by a microphone (18). A suppression stage (42) removes a residual echo and includes a gain control unit. A selective reduction stage (44) reduces background noise in the signal received at a suppression stage output. Another reduction stage (50) reduces the noise present upstream in the signal received at an output of an interfacing unit for being applied to a restoring circuit. The linear adaptive filter is characterized using an echo cancellation algorithm e.g. affin projection algorithm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a current limiting method, e. g. for Class D amplifiers comprising a unique detection- and control method. The current detection circuit can be implemented as a voltage measurement where the measured voltage corresponds to the current flowing through the power-switching device. The device can be switched OFF when a set limit is reached. By forcing certain OFF time, the associated control system behaves as a self-oscillating current limiting circuit. This can be implemented locally close to the switching device and be independent of other local or global control systems.

This digital document allows to specify a part corresponding to a search keyword on the document image upon conducting a search. When this digital document is generated, it includes a description required to use glyph data (font data) of a simple character shape commonly to a plurality of character types as font data used upon rendering the character recognition result. Therefore, even when the digital document needs to save font data, an increase in file size can be minimized. Also, by rendering using a simple character shape, the data size of the font data itself can be reduced.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electronic controller for a continuously variable transmission of the type having a variator (10) with a rotary variator input (17) coupled to a first variator race (14a) and a rotary variator output (29) coupled to a second variator race (16a). At least one roller (20) runs upon the said races to transfer drive from one to the other. The roller is movable to steplessly vary the variator ratio. The variator further comprises at least one hydraulic actuator (36), (38) which acts upon the roller and through which net torque acting on the variator races is referred via the roller to the variator's casing. A hydraulic arrangement is provided for applying to the actuator at least one hydraulic control pressure which determines force applied’ by the actuator and thus determines the reaction torque. The variator is coupled between a rotary transmission input (17) and a rotary transmission output (714) such that the transmission ratio is a function of the variator ratio. The electronic controller is adapted to cany out the following steps in a loop: measure a speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission; compare the measured speed ratio with a target speed ratio; determine a transmission output torque request on the basis of the said comparison; convert the output torque request to a control pressure request, taking account of the speed ratio; differentiate the control pressure request with respect to lime to obtain a compensation value and apply the compensation value to the control pressure request; and output the resulting compensated control pressure request to the hydraulic valve arrangement.
