Abstract: A VLIW digital signal processor is composed of a program memory including first to n-th banks, first to n-th address counters, a fetch block, and an instruction executing section. The first to n-th banks store therein first to n-th programs, respectively. The first to n-th address counters respectively indicates addresses at which next instructions to be executed next, selected out of VLIW instructions within said first to n-th programs, are stored in said first to n-th banks. The fetch block is configured to fetch said next instructions from said addresses, respectively, and to generate a resultant VLIW instruction from said next instructions. The instruction executing section is configured to receive said resultant VLIW instruction, and to execute said resultant VLIW instruction in a single instruction executing cycle.

Abstract: A system control unit of a digital audio data accumulation device detects faulty storage portion per a predetermined unit in an audio storage device and a faulty address table is sequentially generated from the leading address of the audio storage device on the basis of a result of detection. The system control unit stores an input digital compression signal from an audio compression/decompression device in said audio storage device while avoiding faulty storage portion by making reference to the faulty address table. The system control unit reads out an output audio digital compressed signal from the audio storage device while avoiding faulty storage portion by making reference to the faulty address table.

Abstract: The repetitive PCM data developing device of this invention extracts segment waveform PCM data which becomes basic structural part of repetitive PCM data from the waveform of PCM data converted from analog sound signal such as a melody and further extracts envelope PCM data showing the shape of envelope curve from the waveform of PCM data. And the envelope PCM data is divided into blocks for every equal part of amplitude, the segment waveform corresponding to the block is selected from the segment waveform PCM data, and the waveform information including the shape of segment waveform, frequency, amplitude and repetitive number is prepared for every block. Lastly, based on the waveform information, the repetitive PCM data having the blocks combined and continued is prepared.

Abstract: A message synthesizer circuit includes a compressed message data memory as a message source for storing a plurality of compressed message data of message, each corresponding to a message code specifying a message to be emitted as a synthesized message. An input message code selector converts a message code signal into the count of a ring counter by taking, as its inputs, a count output emitted from the ring counter, with the total number of these compressed message data corresponding to its maximum count number, a message code signal for specifying a message to be emitted and an input message code selector signal for setting a randomizing condition for randomly altering the message code signal. The system controller reads out the compressed message data corresponding to the random message code from the compressed message data memory, which is then converted into a specific synthesized message.

Abstract: A waveform of a desired sound is displayed on a CRT, and is observed for the analysis of the waveform. Waveform information including a shape, a repetition number, an amplitude, and a frequency of a segmental waveform which is a part of the displayed waveform is supplied to a repetitive PCM data generating unit, by which the repetitive PCM data are generated. The repetitive PCM data are developed to be a PCM sound signal which is converted to an analog output sound signal. A sound generated by the analog output sound signal is appreciated.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method of repairing cracks, which is characterized in that, in injecting a repairing agent such as resin or the like into cracks occurring in an object to be repaired such as concrete, a masonry joint or the like, injection pressure of the repairing agent gradually increases after start-up of injection of the repairing agent and, further, the injection pressure is maintained substantially constant for a predetermined period of time after the injection pressure has reached a predetermined pressure, whereby the repairing agent is sufficiently spread into the cracks. Furthermore, the invention discloses a method of repairing cracks, in which the crack cavities are evacuated simultaneously with injection of the repairing agent, whereby the repairing agent is filled up in the cracks further efficiently.

Abstract: A sealant injector for use in repair is provided with a sealant nozzle formed in a forward end of an injector body. A piston is slidably fitted in the injector body, and cooperates with the forward end of the injector body to define therebetween a sealant chamber capable of being filled with sealant. A coil spring is arranged within the injector body, and is provided with such a shape memory effect that when heated, the coil spring biases the piston toward the forward end of the injector body to inject the sealant through the sealant nozzle. A heating unit is associated with the injector body, for heating the coil spring.
