Patents by Inventor Wataro Shinohara

Wataro Shinohara has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7126968
    Abstract: In a data compression system for compressing an original time series data with a various waveform, a compression unit compresses the original time series data without damaging characteristics of waveform information in the various waveform. The waveform information includes a signal with a various change, especially, a sudden change of signal. An encoding unit encodes the compressed time series data so as to generate a compression code.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5832183
    Abstract: An information recognition circuit comprises a plurality of recognition processing units each composed of a neural network. Teacher signals and information signals to be processed are supplied to a plurality of the units, individually so as to obtain output signals by executing individual learning. Thereafter, the plural units are connected to each other so as to construct a large scale information recognition system. Further, in the man-machine interface system, a plurality of operating instruction data are prepared. An operator's face is sensed by a TV camera to extract the factors related to the operator's facial expression. The neural network analogizes operator's feeling on the basis of the extracted factors. In accordance with the guessed results, a specific sort of the operating instruction is selected from a plurality of sorts of the operating instructions, and the selected instruction is displayed as an appropriate instruction for the operator.
