Abstract: A digital video playback architecture utilizes review speed adjustment
markers to enable viewer recognition of an event in a video program during fast
advance of the video, either in a fast-forward advance mode or a rewind advance
mode. A review speed adjustment marker gives the viewer time to recognize, or
otherwise ascertain, an event in the video and stop the fast advance to review the
video content, or other information, associated with the review speed adjustment
marker at a normal playback speed.

Abstract: A system and method for translating a written document into
a computer readable document by recognizing the character written on the
document aim at recognizing typed or printed, especially hand-printed or
handwritten characters, in the various fields of a form. Providing a pixel
representation of the written document, the method allows translating a
written document into a computer readable document by i) identifying at
least one field into the pixel representation of the document; ii) segmenting
each field so as to yield at least one segmented symbol; iii) applying a
character recognition method on each segmented symbol; and iii)
assigning a computer-readable code to each recognized character
resulting from the character recognition method. The character recognition
method includes doing a vector quantization on each segmented symbol,
and doing a vector classification using a vector base. A learning base is
also created based on the optimal elliptic separation method. System and
method according to the present invention allow to achieve a substitution
rate of near zero.

Abstract: An optical wavelength-division multiplexing access system is provided which
reduces the requirement for temperature control circuits for the generation of optical
signals, and which connects a large number of ONUs while allowing for standardization
of the ONUs (i.e. reduction of the number of types of component incorporated therein).
In an optical wavelength division multiplexed access system, a center unit (OSU) and n
optical network units (ONUs) are connected together via a wavelength splitter and
optical fiber transmission lines, and downstream optical signals from the OSU to the
ONUs and upstream optical signals from the ONUS to the OSU are transmitted in both
directions, the wavelength spacing Δλd (optical frequency spacing Δfd) of the
downstream optical signals is set to twice or more the wavelength spacing Δλu (optical
frequency spacing Δfu) of the upstream optical signals, each ONU transmits an upstream
optical signal whose optical spectral width is twice or more Δλu (Δfu), and the
wavelength splitter spectrum slices the upstream signals transmitted from the ONUs into
wavelengths (optical frequencies) whose optical spectral widths are mutually different
within Δλu (Δfu), and wavelength-division multiplexes them and transmits to the OSU.

Abstract: An embedded loudspeaker system is set forth incorporating at least two
asymmetric enclosures having different but overlapping frequency responses in order
to achieve a substantially flat frequency response. At least one of the speaker
enclosures is preferably ported (bass-reflex system) to provide as much output as

the anti-resonance of one loudspeaker enclosure is compensated for by the resonance
of another speaker enclosure, without making use of damping, so that no "notch"
appears in the frequency response of the combined system at the listening position
