Abstract: An improved apparatus for implementing shell mapping in a PCM modem incorporates µ-law
signal mapping points. An improved signal point encoding technique effectively employs ring
indices that are generated in accordance with known principles. The ring indices are applied to a
reordering module, which rearranges the ring indices produced by a conventional shell mapping
algorithm. A preferred reordering scheme takes advantage of the non-uniform probability
distribution provided by the conventional shell mapping algorithm. The rings are rearranged
such that the sets of signal points having relatively small separation distances are assigned to
rings with relatively low frequencies of occurrence, while the sets of signal points having
relatively large separation distances are assigned to rings with relatively high frequencies of
occurrence. The reordering scheme optimizes the signal point assignment while maintaining
acceptable limits for average transmission power.

Abstract: A memory controller (12) is equipped with a memory data search circuit (35) for carrying out an
identifying operation of management information corresponding to a segment located in front of or behind a
segment serving as a reference for an editing operation on a recording medium (1) through search and
comparison processing of managing information (U-TOC). A system controller (11) does not receive search
data and execute the data search but only sets the comparison standard and an initial value and outputs an
execution control signal. The editing operation performed reduces wasted space on the recording medium
(1), such as a disc, and eliminates "trash areas" which are not addressable in the U-TOC.

Abstract: A method for automatically converting a decision tree into one or more weighted finite-state transducers. Specifically, the method in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention processes one or more terminal ( i.e.,  leaf) nodes of a given decision tree to generate one or more corresponding weighted rewrite rules. Then, these weighted rewrite rules are processed to generate weighted finite-state transducers corresponding to the one or more terminal nodes of the decision tree. In this manner, decision trees may be advantageously compiled into weighted finite-state transducers, and these transducers may then be used directly in various speech and natural language processing systems. The weighted rewrite rules employed herein comprise an extension of conventional rewrite rules, familiar to those skilled in the art.

IPC: G11B11/10

Abstract: A super-resolution magneto-optical recording medium has
a reproducing layer, an in-plane magnetization layer and a
recording layer. The reproducing layer and the recording
layer are magnetostatically coupled, and each of the layers
is made of a rare-earth transition-metal alloy which has a
greater transition-metal sublattice moment than the
compensation composition, and exhibits perpendicular
magnetization, if it exists alone. At a temperature not
more than the Curie temperature, the in-plane magnetization
layer is exchange-coupled with the reproducing layer so as
to allow the reproducing layer to exhibit in-plane
magnetization. Since the reproducing layer is allowed to
exhibit in-plane magnetization by the in-plane magnetization
layer, it is not necessary to use a material containing a
greater rare-earth metal sublattice moment as the
reproducing layer. Therefore, at portions in the in-plane
magnetization layer having temperatures higher than the
Curie temperature, the directions of the transition-metal
sublattice moments of the reproducing layer and the
recording layer are aligned in parallel with each other.
Thus, the reproducing polarity of this medium becomes the
same as the polarity of a magneto-optical recording medium
without a reproducing layer, thereby allowing compatibility
with each other.

Abstract: An improved throttle control for an internal combustion engine vehicle provides an intermediate torque setting between the initial torque and the target torque with the intermediate setting applied until the engine speed reaches the target value, after which the target torque is set. This dampens any hunting in the engine speed and prevents undue overshoot i.e. it effectively dampens torque shake when changing torque. The actual level and duration of the intermediate torque is related to the resonant frequency of the power train and its mounting on the chassis. The torque control is effected without any changes in ignition timing and operates in either direction.
