Patent EP-0405368-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BARKSBY NIGEL
IPC: C08G18/63
Filed: 1990-06-22
Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel isocyanate-terminated prepolymers of carboxylic acid grafted polyethers, salts of these prepolymers and fully reacted polymers formed therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to reacting an ethylenically unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid with a polyether in the presence of a free radical initiator to form a graft copolymer. Acid-containing isocyanate- terminated prepolymers can then be formed by reacting the graft copolymer with an isocyanate. Salt-containing isocyanate-terminated prepolymers are prepared through the reaction between the acid-containing prepolymer and a base. Finally, polymers are formed by curing either of these isocyanate-terminated prepolymers with an isocyanate reactive material.

Abstract: The illegal copy prevention apparatus comprises a plurality of illegal copy discriminators (1a, 1b ... 1n) (e.g. instructions to set flags), an event generator (2) (e.g. detections of "0" sec in real time) corresponding to the illegal copy discriminators, and an abnormal operation generator (3) for generating an abnormal operation when any one of the illegal discriminator and the corresponding event generator generates an event. Since the probability at which all the abnormal operations are generated by all the abnormal operation generators is low, it is extremely difficult for a violator to notice the presence of all the copy protections and further remove all the copy protections completely, thus realizing an effective illegal copy prevention apparatus for computer software and circuit configuration of IC devices.

Abstract: A laser (1) emits a laser beam with a predetermined frequency, serving as pumping light, to a double resonance section (2, 3). A VCO (5) oscillates a predetermined frequency signal that is the origin of a microwave. An oscillator (7) oscillates a modulation signal and a low frequency signal to be a reference signal for a PSD. A synthesizer (6) generates a microwave acquired by subjecting the predetermined frequency signal to multiplication and phase modulation in accordance with the predetermined frequency signal and the modulation signal, and applies the microwave to the double resonance section (2, 3). A photosensor (4) detects a component of the laser beam modulated by the double resonance section (2, 3). A PSD (8) detects the level and phase of an output signal of the photosensor with the reference signal. A sweep signal generator (11a) generates a sweep signal for the microwave. A switch (12) has first and second nodes to be mutually switched from one to the other, and feeds a PSD output back to the VCO (5) when switched to the first node, and supplies the sweep signal to the VCO (5) to permit sweeping of the frequency of the microwave when switched to the second node. An integration processor (11b) detects the amount of shift of a microwave resonance frequency according to the PSD output and feeds a laser frequency compensation signal back to the laser, in a state where the switch (12) is set to the second node.

Abstract: An integrated data processing platform for processing a digital signal that includes a general purpose processor and a digital signal processor (DSP) module. The DSP module recovers digital data from a digital signal utilizing a sequence of DSP operations selected by the general purpose processor. The general purpose processor processes the digital data recovered by the DSP module, but is also available to perform general purpose tasks. A shared internal memory array selectively provides information to the DSP module and to the general purpose processor. The information stored in the internal memory array includes operands utilized in the execution of the DSP algorithm and selected instructions and data utilized by the general purpose CPU either for controlling the execution of the DSP algorithm or for executing its own general purpose tasks. While in many applications the data processing system will include an analog front end that converts a modulated input signal received on an analog transmission channel to a corresponding digital signal for processing by the data processing system, the data processing system may also receive the digital signal directly from a digital source.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of modeling a word by concatenating a series of elemental models to form a word model. At least one elemental model in the series is a composite elemental model formed by combining the starting states of at least first and second primitive elemental models. Each primitive elemental model represents a speech component. The primitive elemental models are combined by a weighted combination of their parameters in proportion to the values of the weighting factors. 
     In order to tailor the word model to closely represent variations in the pronunciation of the word, the word is uttered a plurality of times by a plurality of different speakers. From the prior values of the weighting factors, and from the values of the parameters of the first and second primitive elemental models, the conditional probability of occurrence of the first primitive elemental model given the occurrence of the composite elemental model and given the occurrence of the observed sequence of component sounds is estimated. A posterior value for the first weighting factor is estimated from the conditional probability. 
     By constructing word models from composite elemental models, and by constructing composite elemental models from primitive elemental models, it is possible for the resulting word model to closely represent many variations in the pronunciation of a word. By providing a relatively small set of primitive elemental models in comparison to a relatively large vocabulary of words, the models can be trained to the voice of a new speaker by having the new speaker utter only a small subset of the words in the vocabulary.

Abstract: Motion digital video is encoded and decoded by a motion compensated interpolation method and apparatus. In accordance with the method, selected frames of the video are interpolated in the decoder with the aid of interpolation correction codes that are generated in the encoder and sent to the decoder. In an encoder embodiment that interpolates half of the frames, every other frame is encoded and decoded within the encoder. The decoded versions of adjacent frames are appropriately combined and compared to the interleaved camera frame that is to be interpolated in the decoder. The differences, which correspond to "pels correction" information, are encoded and quantized. Those that exceed a predetermined threshold value are added to the encoder's output buffer. The inverse operation is carried out in the decoder. That is every pair of decoded frames is averaged and combined with the decoded "pels correction" information to form the interpolated frames.

Abstract: Information is obtained from the pixels of a spatial pixel array, such as a sub-atomic particle detector array, by discriminating between pixels that have and have not received actuating inputs, and obtaining outputs only from selected pixels. These pixels are determined by the pixels which have received actuating inputs, and may consist of the hit pixels and their immediate neighbors. The system monitors for the occurrence of an event of interest that occurs over time substantially less frequently than the rate at which actuating inputs are supplied to the pixel array, and obtains outputs from the selected pixels only for the times that correspond to the occurrence of an event of interest. The amount of data to be processed is thus substantially reduced.
