Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide for a telephone answering machine which reduces a charge for a call. In a telephone answering machine (15), a caller ID extracting part (6) analyzes a call incoming signal and extracts an area code as ID information regarding a caller. A transmission period memory part (11) stores area codes (16) and transmission periods (17) per unit charge in correlation to each other in advance. An ID checking part (7) checks the area code extracted by the caller ID extracting part (6) against the area codes (16) stored in advance in the transmission period memory part (11), and a transmission period reading part (8) reads the transmission period (17) which corresponds to the matching area code (16), in accordance with the checking result. A response message memory part (12a) stores transmission periods (18) in correlation with response messages (20) in advance. A transmission period checking part (9) checks the transmission period (17) read by the transmission period reading part (8) against the transmission periods (18) stored in the response message memory part (12a). A response message reading part (10a) reads a response message (20) associated with the transmission period (18) judged as matching on the basis of the checking result. The read response message (20) is reproduced by a reproducing part (4) at a reproduction condition set in a reproduction control part (14), and outputted to a telephone line network through a network control part (2). The caller ID extracting part (6) analyzes a call incoming signal and extracts a telephone number as ID information regarding the caller. An operation code (27) of a telephone answering machine (21), associated with the telephone number of the caller, is read to execute an operation of the operation code (27). The operation code (27) includes a code for designating a remote control mode.

Abstract: A digital high definition television receiver equalizer system includes an input adaptive feed forward filter (FFF 20), a carrier recovery network (46), and a slicer (40) in addition to an adaptive decision feedback filter (DFF, 30) for removing intersymbol interference. At the beginning of a blind equalizing interval the FFF is not adapted and the DFF operates as a linear filter with adapted coefficients for equalizing post-ghosts. Afterwards in the blind interval the FFF coefficients are adapted blindly for equalizing pre-ghosts. In a subsequent decision-directed mode the slicer output is used for adapting both the FFF and DFF non-linearly.

Abstract: An image coding apparatus for coding an input signal
comprising an image signal being an array of pixels having
pixel values and a significant signal showing whether the
image signal is significant or not, comprises: prediction
image generating means for specifying, as a target area, an
area of the input image signal to be the target of coding,
on the basis of the input significant signal, and generating
a prediction image for the target area, using a locally
reproduced image which is described later; subtraction means
for dividing the prediction image into a plurality of small
prediction areas, dividing the target area into a plurality
of small target areas, subtracting each small prediction
area from corresponding small target area, and outputting a
differential signal; area dividing means for dividing a
rectangle area including significant pixels from the
differential signal output from the subtraction means using
the significant signal, and outputting the rectangle area as
a significant area; pixel generating means for generating a
padding pixel value using a prescribed function on the basis
of pixel values of the significant pixels in the significant
area, replacing pixel values of insignificant pixels in the
significant area with the padding pixel value, and
outputting a padded signal; oding means for coding the
padded signal and outputting a coded signal; decoding means 
for decoding the coded signal and outputting a decoded
signal; addition means for adding the decoded signal and the
prediction image to generate a locally reproduced image; and
storage means for temporarily storing the locally reproduced
image for use in the prediction image generating means.
Therefore, the influence of the pixel values of the
insignificant pixels on the coding process is reduced,
whereby the coding efficiency is improved.

Abstract: An improved powder atomizer comprising a cylindrical pan, a cylindrical
resiliently deformable element, which is journaled for rotation about an axis within
the pan. The pan is mounted coaxially of the element. The element and pan define
a cylindrically shaped venturi therebetween into which powder is fed. The venturi
has an inlet and outlet radially spaced apart. Means is provided for rotating the
element within the pan at speeds in excess of that required to throw the powder
from the element by centrifugal force. The element draws ambient air through the
venturi and atomizes and deagglomerates powder fed into the venturi inlet thereby
forming a uniformly flowing cloud of particulate material which is uniform both
longitudinally and laterally of said axis. The invention also provides an atomizer
feeder and an atomizer feeder combination deagglomerator combination with a
feeder such a disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,314,090 which is particularly useful in
wide web coating applications to produce a particulate cloud which is uniform both
