Abstract: A method for encoding wavelet coefficients can
achieve a high compression ratio for image data. The
image data is converted and quantized into coefficients
by a two-dimensional wavelet transform and the
coefficients having the same spatial position are
collected to form a block. A layered quad-tree
structure of the coefficients included in each block is
defined with respect to each of a set of coefficients
representing a vertical component (LH), a set of
coefficients representing a horizontal component (HL)
and a set of coefficients representing a diagonal
component (HH). Each quad-tree structure has a root
corresponding to a coefficient of a lowest frequency
band. A zero tree of which all descendant nodes lack a
significant coefficient is searched for, and positional
information of the zero tree is encoded. The
coefficients other than descendants of the zero-tree are
scanned so as to form a one-dimensional coefficient
string of the scanned coefficients. The one-dimensional
coefficient string is encoded according to a two-dimensional
encoding method using a run length of a zero
run immediately preceding a significant coefficient and
a significant coefficient.

Abstract: A cassette eject mechanism for a recording or reproducing apparatus can remove a cassette eject button from a housing and can reliably eject a tape cassette only when a tape cassette should be loaded or unloaded. A battery loading mechanism for an electronic equipment can make the loading of battery simple and reliable, and becomes easy to handle. The locking mechanism can be simplified in structure so that the number of assembly parts can considerably be reduced. Further, a mechanical chassis supporting mechanism in a recording apparatus is for use with an apparatus in which a mechanical chassis or cabinet can be reduced in thickness. According to this mechanical chassis supporting mechanism, it is possible to prevent an external stress from being applied to the mechanical chassis as a twisting deform force.

Abstract: A digital word prototype is constructed using one or more
speech utterance for a given spoken word or phrase. First, a phone model is
used to derive phoneme similarity time series for each of a plurality of
phonemes which represent the degree of similarity between the speech
utterance and a set of standard phonemes contained in the phone model.
Next, the phoneme similarity data is normalized in relation to a non-speech
part of the input speech signal. The normalized phoneme similarity data is
divided into segments, such that the sum of all normalized phoneme similarity
values in a segment are equal for each segment. Next, a word model is
constructed from the phoneme similarity data. To do so, within each
segment, a summation value is determined by summing over speech frames
each of the normalized phoneme similarity values associated with a particular
phoneme. In this way, the word model is represented by a vector of
summation values that compactly correlate to the normalized phoneme
similarity data. Lastly, the results of the individually processed utterances for
a given spoken word (i.e., the individual word models) are combined to
produce a digital word prototype that electronically represents the given
spoken word.

Abstract: In a tailbiting convolutional encoder the encoder (12) is initialized with a sequence of symbols corresponding to the final symbols of a sequence to be encoded, resulting in that the begin state and the final state of the encoder are the same. The problem of the convolutional code obtained by such a coder is that it requires substantial computational resources to decode it. In the simplified decoder according to the invention, the decoding process is extended by a plurality of trellis sections to a length N + ξ. At the final trellis section, the state with the largest path metric is selected as the best state. This best state is used as starting point for a trace back operation to find an earlier state at N trellis section before the final trellis section. The earlier state found there is regarded as correct, having as consequence that the trellis should terminate also in said state. By performing a trace back from said state the source symbols can be found.
