Abstract: A method for generating a representation of multimedia content by first
segmenting the multimedia content spatially and temporally to extract objects.
Feature extraction is applied to the objects to produce semantic and syntactic
attributes, relations, and a containment set of content entities. The content
entities are coded to produce directed acyclic graphs of the content entities,
where each directed acyclic graph represents a particular interpretation of the
multimedia content.

Abstract: Coordinates of a target are calculated by measuring time between the
generation of a vertical synchronizing signal fetched from a composite signal
for displaying the target image on a video monitor and a singular
change of a video signal and calculating the coordinates of the target
image displayed on the video monitor from this measured time. In this
way, the coordinates of the target image where it is displayed on the
video monitor can be calculated very rapidly.

Abstract: In a transmission for automobiles, the shift feeling is improved by
smoothly transferring the operational load between a shift rod (78) and a reverse shift
fork (50). This is accomplished by cam faces (a,b,c) formed on a reverse shift fork which
shifts a reverse idle gear (41) between a neutral position and a reverse position, and
cam faces (d,e) are formed on a drive cam (88) which moves integrally with a shift rod.
When the drive cam is moved from a neutral position to the reverse position, one
of the cam faces presses against another of the cam faces moving the reverse shift
fork in a circular manner in an anticlockwise direction, and the reverse idle gear
moves to the reverse position. When the drive cam member is moved from the
reverse position to the neutral position, another of the cam faces presses against
still another of the cam faces moving the reverse shift fork in a circular manner in
a clockwise direction, and the reverse idle gear moves to the neutral position.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, recording a digital audio or like
signal on a rotating data storage disk (1), wherein successive segments of
a digital input signal are stored, at least one at a time, on an input
buffer memory (16), from which each signal segment is read out in time
compression mode and recorded on the disk, so that the successive signal
segments are recorded at prescribed time intervals. 
     In order to enable realtime monitoring of the recording being made
on the disk, each signal segment recorded on the disk is recovered
therefrom during the time interval between the recording of this signal
segment and that of the next. After being stored on an output buffer
memory (19), the recovered signal segment is read out therefrom in time
extension mode, such that the successive segments of the digital signal
issue from the output buffer memory as a streamlined continuum.

Abstract: A plurality of base stations each calculate a
distance function value with respect to a mobile station
by detecting up signal therefrom in their own receiver
(step S15), and transmit the calculated value to a base
station controller (step S16). When a base station as
reference base station receives, from the mobile station,
the difference of timings of base station down signal
reception (steps S17 and S18), it transmits the reception
timing difference to the controller (step S19). The
controller calculates, from data from an in-question
base station, the difference of up signal reception
timings in the reference and in-question base stations,
and reports the difference to other base stations than
the reference base station, thus causing down signal
transmission timing updating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for
controlling the transition of a bypass capable codec between
operative modes, based on a certain characteristic of the audio
data signal processed by the codec. The apparatus relies on a
control signal to determine when the codec will switch from one
mode to another. This control signal reflects a characteristic
of the audio data signal received at the apparatus, such as the
type of speech activity or the format of the audio data signal.
When in the active (non-bypass) mode, the apparatus relies on an
additional control signal to switch to the inactive (bypass)
mode. This additional control signal is received from a control
unit at a remote codec that indicates that the remote codec is
also bypass capable, hence the decoder at the first codec and
the encoder at the remote codec can switch to the inactive mode
to pass between them the compressed data frames.

Abstract: A computer based system and method of retrieving information pertaining to
documents on a computer network is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of
documents to be accessed during a Web crawl by utilizing a statistical model to
determine which previously retrieved documents are most likely to have changed since
last accessed. The statistical model is continuously improving its accuracy by training
internal probability distributions to reflect the actual experience with change rate patterns
of the documents accessed. The decision made whether to access the document is based
on the probability of change compared against a desired synchronization level, random
selections, maximum limits on the amount of time since the document was last accessed,
and other criterion. Once the decision to access is made, the document is checked for
changes and this information is used to train the statistical model.

Abstract: For a print head in an impact dot printer, a drive transistor 33 is
connected in series to a head coil 59 that drives a print wire, and a pulse 32 is
used to turn the drive transistor 33 on and off. Thus, the drive current i is
supplied to the head coil 59 to drive the print wire. The input end of a DC/DC
converter 2 is connected to the juncture of the head coil 59 and the drive
transistor 33, and the output end of the DC/DC converter 2 is connected to the
juncture of a power source 34 and the head coil 59. The DC/DC converter 2
clamps, at a constant level, e.g., 90V, the inductive electromotive force of a
high voltage that is generated by the head coil 59 when the drive transistor 33
is rendered off. Then, the DC/DC converter 2 transforms the clamped voltage
to a voltage equivalent to the voltage level of the power source 34, e.g., 35V.
As a result, instead of energy being wasted by the transistor 33, the energy
accumulated by the head coil 59 is returned to the power source 34 and can
again be employed, while the input voltage of the DC/DC converter 2 is
maintained at a constant level by an initial charger 4.
