Abstract: An implantable atrial defibrillator (30) applies cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a human heart in need of cardioversion after first determining if there is an absence of potential atrial fibrillation. A sensor (54) associated with the atria of the heart senses activity of the heart and generates a cardiac signal and a first detector (60) detects cardiac events from the cardiac signal. A second detector (70) responsive to time spans between immediately successive detected cardiac events which are greater in duration than a preselected interval detects for an absence of potential atrial fibrillation. An atrial fibrillation detector (72) detects for atrial fibrillation if the second detector fails to detect an absence of atrial fibrillation, and a cardiovertor (78) applies cardioverting electrical energy to the atria when the atria are in fibrillation.

Abstract: In a radio equipment which establishes synchronism with a radio signal by detecting a synchronizing signal included in the radio signal and performs intermittent reception of the radio signal until the synchronizing signal is detected, an ON time for a radio section is set longer than a transmission cycle of the synchronizing signal when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is possible. On the other hand, when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible, the ON time for the radio section is set shorter. After setting the ON time for the radio section shorter, the ON time for the radio section is further set shorter if the radio equipment is still provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible.

Abstract: An ignition safety device in a gas lighter to reliably prevent ignition of the lighter when a safety button is in a locked position, and to allow ignition of the gas lighter when the safety button is moved from the first locked position to a second unlocked position. A projection of the safety button has an end surface that coacts with an end surface of a projection provided in the upper part of the gas lighter when the safety button is in its locked position. The projection in the upper part of the gas lighter is positioned so as to ensure that the two end surfaces securely contact each other. When the safety button is moved to the unlocked position, the projection of the safety button is not aligned with the projection in the upper part of the lighter and therefore, the ignition button of the lighter can be depressed to ignite the lighter.

Abstract: A bearing apparatus for use in an floppy disc drive device motor having a sleeve bearing and a thrust bearing is provided which is characterized in that there is provided a thrust bearing having such a convex portion, a projection, or a concave portion that makes the rotation shaft of the motor inclined with respect to the center axis of the sleeve bearing. Therefore, the rotation shaft ofa motor can be forcibly inclined with the rotation shaft and the sleeve bearing being kept in contact with each other. In addition, it is possible to reduce deviation in inclination of the motor rotation shaft and to ensure electric conductance between the motor rotation shaft and the motor body. These advantages areattained by a specific structure in which a projection, a convex portion, or a concave portion is provided at the thrust bearing, and therefore, the structure is simple and requires low costs.

Abstract: A data recording and/or reproducing method for performing a trick play in a digital video tape recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing an advanced television (ATV) signal is performed such that the data area of a sync block each forming audio sector and video sector in a track is divided into a first area and a second area to record and reproduce normal-play data and trick-play data for a normal play and a trick play, respectively. The area corresponding to 5.6 Mbps is used for trick-play data in the case of an ATV signal and a separate data area for the error correction coding of a trick-play data is not necessary. Also, since trick plays of speeds of even-number times are available within the range of the maximum multiple speed, a diversity of speeds of a trick mode is allowed.

Abstract: A system and method for proactively detecting cloning fraud in a cellular mobile telephone environment are discussed. Information is collected which corresponds to registration notifications of the cellular telephones as they operate within the cellular mobile telephone environment. The registration information is used to detect time-space peculiarities. Specifically, registrations having the same mobile identification number and occurring in different mobile switching centers within a predetermined time interval are identified. This time interval, based on a reasonable travel time between cells covered by the different mobile switching centers where the registrations originated, is used as a threshold for detecting cloning fraud.

Abstract: A method of recognizing the effects of coarse pixel quantization on text represented via raster signals that enables automatic selection between the fax and normal modes of a optical character recognition unit (33), in order to enhance the reading performance of the optical character recognition unit for lower resolution images produced by facsimile machines. A processor (40) executes instructions stored in a memory (41) to trace the contours of connected components (51,90) included within a sample image (32) in a document (31) and to count the number of runs one, two, and three pixels in length along the contour. If the sample image includes few runs of two pixels in length along the contours of its connected components as compared to the number of runs of one and three pixels in length, then the sample image has undergone coarse pixel quantization and the processor selects the fax mode of the optical character recognition unit.

Abstract: In an optical head unit, a shift of a laser beam is corrected by a parallel flat plate (21) such that the center of an intensity distribution of the laser beam incident on an objective lens with a greatest numerical aperture among at least two objective lenses (43a, 43b) coincides substantially with the optical axis of the objective lens with the greatest numerical aperture. The parallel flat plate (21) is disposed in an optical path of the laser beam traveling toward the lens such that a predetermined angle is defined between a surface of the parallel flat (21) plate and the laser beam. Thereby, optical disks with different recording densities can be reproduced with high precision, without influence of the shift of the beam.
