Abstract: In a method for automated grouping of objects, the objects are randomly placed onto a conveyor belt and transported in a steady conveying flow to a grouping device. A recognition device determines a location and a position of the objects transported on the conveyor belt before reaching the grouping device and communicates the location and the position of the objects to a control unit. The control unit evaluates the random ordered state of the objects on the conveyor belt based on the location and the position of the objects. The control unit determines, based on the evaluation result of the evaluating step, sorting positions on the conveyor belt. The handling device groups, taking into account the belt speed, the objects in a group on each one of the determined sorting positions on the conveyor belt. The groups of objects are then further transported on the conveyor belt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to
a receiver intended for the reception
of pseudo-noise signals from the
satellite radio-navigation systems
used for determining co-ordinates
and time. This receiver uses the
GLONASS and GPS systems and is
characterised by its reduced
dimensions and in that it does not
include any complex elements such
as a sampling circuit. To this end, the
signal outputs and the clock output of
a radio-frequencey converter are
connected respectively to the first and
second signal and clock inputs of a 
N-channel digital correlation unit. A mixer is provided in each channel of a second signal-frequency converter in said radio-frequency converter.
The output of said mixer is connected to the channel output through an amplifier with an adjustable amplification ratio and through a threshold
device which are connected in series. The reference input of the second-channel mixer in the second signal-frequency converter is connected to the
output of a signal with a second heterodyne frequency in an apparatus for generating clock- and heterodyne-frequency signals. A first and a second
frequency splitting units are further connected in series to said apparatus.

adhesive layer on at least one surface of a substrate film and
adhering a separator to the surface of the ultraviolet curing
pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherein the separator has
an ultraviolet transmittance at a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm

Abstract: The system uses multiple optical sources. The optical transmitter includes two optical sources (201,202) supplied simultaneously in series from the point of view of modulation current, although they are supplied separately with direct biasing current. The separation of the bias currents for the two optical sources is achieved by means of inductances (214,215,227) of sufficient size practically to block the alternating modulation current. The first optical source (201) receives the modulating signals derived from an input (216) on its anode, then transmits the modulating signal to the second optical source (202) via a coupling capacitor (226) between the two optical sources. An optical coupler receives the optical power transmitted by each of the optical sources of the optical transmitter and redistributes this optical power between the fibres forming the network.

Abstract: A controller for a machine capable of performing acceleration/
deceleration control to which an optimal tangential acceleration within an
allowable maximum acceleration for each axis is applied. A first interpolation
section receives data obtained by analysis of a program by a command analysis
section, an makes interpolating calculation in every first sampling period to
output it into an intermediate memory. A tangential acceleration calculating
section determines a tangential acceleration based on each segment and the
allowable maximum acceleration for- each axis to output it into the
intermediate memory. A deceleration target velocity calculating section
prepares an acceleration/deceleration pattern for a plurality of segments stored
in the intermediate memory, to output it to the intermediate memory. An
acceleration/deceleration control section performs acceleration/deceleration
control based on the data in the intermediate memory so that the tangential
velocity at an end point of each segment is not higher than the deceleration
target velocity, and calculates velocity for each second sampling period. A
second interpolation section defines a smooth curve based on the output from
the acceleration/deceleration control section and the data taken out from the
intermediate memory, and outputs a point on the smooth curve for each second
sampling period.

Abstract: A beamformer is calibrated for use as an acoustic echo canceler in a hands-free communications environment having a loudspeaker and a plurality of microphones. To perform the calibration, a number of adaptive filters are provided in correspondence with each of the microphones, and each of the adaptive filters is trained to model echo properties of the environment as experienced by the corresponding one of the microphones. A target source is activated, thereby generating an acoustic signal that is received by the microphones. The trained adaptive filters are then used to generate jammer signals by, for example, having each one filter a pseudo noise signal. Respective ones of the jammer signals are then combined with corresponding signals supplied by the microphones, thereby generating combination signals. The combination signals are then used to adapt the beamformer to cancel the jammer signals. In another aspect of the invention, the adaptive filters may be utilized during normal operation by having them perform an echo cancellation operation on each of the signals that is to be supplied to the calibrated beamformer.
