  • Patent number: 6349101
    Abstract: A cell buffer circuit included in a system for converting ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cells to SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)-based data is disclosed. The cell buffer circuit includes a series connection of a first and a second shift register to which input cell data are sequentially input. In response to a back pressure signal output from a FIFO (First-In First-Out) memory, the output of cell data is interrupted. When the back pressure signal disappears, a selector selects and outputs either one of the cell data stored in the shift registers 11 and 12 having been interrupted first. When invalid data are input, the selector is prevented from selecting the invalid data, or a FIFO write control signal generator is caused to output a FIFO write control signal disabling the writing of cell data in the FIFO memory.

  • Patent number: 6346896
    Abstract: A decoding device for deinterleaving data includes a write address generator, a read address generator, and a memory device. According to a method for deinterleaving data, the write address generator generates a write address according to parameters corresponding to the interleaving characteristics of an input signal. The write addresses are offset according to the parameters in order to apply a deinterleaving function to the input data. The read address generator generates a read address so as to sequentially read the stored data, to provide deinterleaved output data.

  • Patent number: 6343903
    Abstract: A tool holder of the hollow taper shank in a tool machine is disclosed. A resisting block supported by a spring is received within a tool holder. As the short knife is disposed within the tool holder, the elastic force of the spring can be overcome. At first, a plurality of steel balls and a resisting block are pushed inversely until the front edge of an wider portion of the short knife passes through the steel ball. Now, the spring will release the energy from elastic deformation so as to enforce the resisting block to move forwards and outwards so as to return to the original position. Thereby, the knife can be firmly secured.

  • Patent number: 6342694
    Abstract: An optical signal receiver producing an output signal from a received optical signal also generates two complementary signals from the output signal, integrates the two complementary signals, and takes the difference between the two integrated signals. The difference signal is used to control a bias current supplied to the input terminal of an amplifier that generates the output signal signal. Alternatively, the difference signal controls the gain of the amplifier. Output distortion is thereby corrected without requiring external adjustments.

  • Patent number: 6343149
    Abstract: A character reading system which reduces the amount of correction and verification work needed for a document for which characters have been correctly recognized. Whole image data WIMG of a document read by a remote OCR installed at a local station and first character data DATA1 recognized on the basis of a first character recognition method from this data WIMG are stored via a communication network in a memory component provided to a central station. A second recognition component provided to the central station recognizes second character data on the basis of a second character recognition method that is different from the first character recognition method from the image data WIMG read out from the memory component. A decision component decides whether there is a match between these first and second sets of character data. If there is a match, the data is outputted as correct character data, that is, third character data, to a host computer.

  • Patent number: 6339340
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of detecting the capacity of the standby power. First, the components that are supplied with working voltage from the standby power are switched to the main power by a switch circuit. Then a control unit activates a dummy-loading circuit, thereby a coupling a loading device to the standby power. A voltage monitoring circuit monitors variations of the standby power to judge the capacity of the standby power, by which the switch circuit decides whether the standby power is activated or not. When detecting the capacity of the standby power, a switch circuit is needed to prevent variations of the standby power from affecting the normal operation of the essential circuit, and the standby power is supplied as operating power.
