Abstract: Disclosed is a system for producing a moving picture, comprising: a memory system adapted to store information on a facial expression, the shape of lips, and a motion of a character; a speech information-converting engine adapted to receive text information and/or previously recorded speech information from a user and to convert the inputted text information and/or previously recorded speech information into a corresponding speech information; a lip synchronizing-creating engine adapted to extract phoneme information from speech information outputted from the speech information-converting engine, and to generate a facial expression and the shape of lips of the character corresponding to the extracted phoneme information from the memory system; an animation-creating engine adapted to receive motion information from the user and to generate a movement of the character corresponding to the motion information from the memory system; and a synthesis engine adapted to synthesize the facial expression and the lips s

Abstract: A loudspeaker case structure for a video display appliance capable of damping and absorbing vibrations arising from the output of a loudspeaker to remove the howling phenomena produced on a cathode-ray tube by the transfer of the vibrations to the cathode-ray tube. The loudspeaker case structure includes a housing having a predetermined space for receiving the loudspeaker therein, dispersing and damping the vibrations from the loudspeaker through the space, and a supporting section, extending from the housing, for supporting and fixing the housing to a main bracket of a cabinet and absorbing the remaining vibrations passing through the housing.

Abstract: Quarternary alloys of the formula: Zr.sub.1-x Ti.sub.x Cr.sub.1-y Fe.sub.1+y are provided, which are characterized as having C14 hexagonal Laves phase wherein "x" has a value between 0.05 and 0.1 and "y" has a value of 0 to 0.4. These alloys, have P-C-T relations with low hysteresis and flat plateaux, are suitable for various applications such as hydrogen storage and hydride heat pump system.
