  • Patent number: 6052084
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted satellite signal receiving system adopting a satellite tracking system combining gyro tracking and hybrid tracking is disclosed which can correct a sensitivity coefficient for correcting a gyro sensor output signal to make up for a sensitivity error, even when a drift is produced in the sensitivity error. In this system, gyro tracking is caused when the received power level is above a threshold power level. The gyro tracking is done by determining the angular velocity .omega. of an antenna as .omega.=-(.omega.G.times..DELTA.SB+.omega.G from a value obtained by inverting the sign of the product of a gyro tracking angular velocity .omega.G and a sensitivity coefficient .DELTA.SB for dealing with the sensitivity error and a predetermined offset error correction value .omega.G and setting the antenna to .omega.. When .DELTA.SB is inaccurate and a sensitivity error is generated in the gyro sensor output signal, the received power level is reduced.

  • Patent number: 5828337
    Abstract: In a vehicle mounted satellite signal receiving apparatus which adopts a satellite tracking system combining a gyro tracking with a hybrid tracking, there is provided a device which can revise an offset error correction value of a gyro sensor, even if there is a drift in the offset error. In this device, gyro tracking is performed when a reception level is a threshold value L.sub.C or more. The gyro tracking is performed by setting an antenna at an angular velocity .omega., which is derived from an equation,.omega.=-.omega.G+.DELTA..omega.G, where -.omega.G is a value resulted from conversion of sign for gyro angular velocity .omega.G, and .DELTA..omega.G is a prescribed offset error correction value. A reception level declines if the offset error correction value .DELTA..omega.G deviates and therefore an apparent offset error arises in the gyro sensor. When the reception level declines below a threshold value L.sub.B, the aforementioned offset error correction value .DELTA..omega.

  • Patent number: 5732393
    Abstract: A sound processor (12) calculates first through third parameters according to an LPC cepstrum, a primary delta cepstrum and a secondary delta cepstrum. The first parameter catches a static characteristic, the second parameter catches a dynamic characteristic with time, and the third parameter catches a locally dynamic characteristic with time. A word dictionary (14) stores first through third parameters for a standard pattern. Hence, a DP matching unit (16) recognizes a voice based on a distance between an input voice of the three parameters and the standard pattern.
