Abstract: An anti-fraud pull tab system for removable protective barriers in
print cartridges and other modular components used in printers, copiers and
other image forming devices. The pull tab (10) includes a pull ring (21) and a
use indicator (24). The use indicator (24) blocks a substantial portion of the
finger hole (20) in the pull ring (21) so that the use indicator (24) is broken out,
damaged or disfigured when the pull tab (10) is used to remove the protective
barrier (16). The disfigured pull tab (10) indicates the protective barrier (16)
dam has been used, thus making it difficult for a counterfeiter to successfully
reuse or reform the protective barrier (16) and resell the cartridge (14) as a new
cartridge (14). In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a pull tab
assembly includes a pull tab (10) and an identifying tape (48). The tape (48)
secures the pull tab (10) to the print cartridge (14). Affixed to the tape (48) is a
use indicator (24) that will permanently adhere to the print cartridge (14) when
the identifying tape (48) is removed from the cartridge (14). When a pull tab
(10) is unnecessary or undesirable, the identifying tape (48) may be attached
directly to the protective barrier (16).

Abstract: A speaker recognition device is designed to actualize
speaker recognition which is capable of coping with an increase of
enrolled speakers with a small amount of processing and to provide
a high precision of speaker recognition regardless of a variety of
disturbances. Herein, sound analysis is performed on input voice
data of an input speaker to produce an input pattern representing
sound characteristics. The device stores standard patterns (e.g.,
time series of sound parameters or HMM parameters) with regard
to enrolled speakers in a form of a tree structure which is
constructed by nodes mutually connected together from a root to
leaves. Similarity calculations are performed in a direction from
the root to the leaves of the tree structure to produce similarity
scores between the input pattern and the standard patterns
respectively. An order is determined for the calculated similarity
scores from the highest to the lowest. In addition, a similarity
score is calculated for a designated speaker who is specified by
speaker information input to the device. If a place of the order set
for the designated speaker belongs to a prescribed range of places
of the order, the device makes a decision of acceptance that the
input speaker coincides with the designated speaker. If not, the
device makes a decision of rejection that the input speaker feigns to
be the designated speaker.

Abstract: In three-dimensional graphics rendering, a method of texture mapping, or
shading, applies to triangle-based graphical objects having undergone a perspective
transformation. The present invention makes use of linear interpolation for determining
the appropriate mapping for the interior points of each triangle, thus reducing the
computation-intensive mathematical calculations otherwise required. In order to
minimize visual artifacts due to high interpolation errors, the borders of each triangle are
tested against a predetermined threshold, and the triangle subdivided if any of the
borders contain a maximum error which exceeds the threshold. The subdivision
continues until all triangle sides have maximum errors that are less than the threshold
value. Linear interpolation is then used to determine all mappings for the sides and
interior points of the triangle. In alternative embodiments, the triangle is subdivided
without using recursive methods. In one non-recursive method, the entire triangle is
subdivided uniformly based on the necessary number of segments into which the
triangle sides must be broken to keep the maximum error below the threshold. In
another non-recursive method,  w -isosceles triangles are subdivided into trapezoids,
each of which is then subdivided into  w -isosceles, and mostly geometrically isosceles,
triangles.

Abstract: There is provided a measurement system for
measuring signals evoked in response to stimulus pulses
applied to a nerve, muscle or like physiological portion
of a patient. The measurement system is characterized
by delivering stimulus pulses at randomly generated
intervals, and enabling the sense circuitry-to track the
timing of the stimulus pulse generation so as to aid in
discriminating the evoked response pattern from
surrounding noise. Specifically, after each stimulus
pulse a delay is timed out for a time corresponding to
the expected latency between the delivered pulse and the
arrival of the evoked response at another location. The
delay signal is then used to initiate time out of a
window which controls operation of the sensing circuit
for a window duration corresponding to when the evoked
response pattern is appearing. Limiting the sensing
operation to the window duration enables tracking of the
response pattern, and minimizes power consumption. The
sensed evoked response signals are further processed to
provide control signals for adjustment of the delay and
window, thereby optimizing the sensing operation. The
measurement system is suitably part of a larger
implantable stimulus system, which includes the ability
to adjust pulse-to-pulse interval, or rate, and also
pulse output level as a function of measured evoked
response patterns. In a further embodiment, the
stimulus system involves steering of stimulus pulses to
selected nerve fibers or muscle tissue, and the
measurement system provides feedback for adjusting the
steering parameters.
