  • Publication number: 20030179745
    Abstract: Voice data from speech start till mute are transmitted as a section voice file to the opposite side voice data transmitting and receiving system, thus permitting voice data transmission free from voice interruption. By transmitting voice data from the speech start till the mute it is possible to eliminate packet losses in the data transmission channel and perform voice communication in the same voice quality as in the transmitting side. Besides, because of the use of HTTP communication port it is possible to obtain voice communication exceeding the rooter without any special setting.

  • Publication number: 20020180470
    Abstract: A touch signal probe comprises a fixed member, a movable member, a bias means, a drive member, a deformation touch signal processing circuit, a contact touch signal processing circuit, and a latch circuit. A stylus is attached to the movable member. The drive member relatively drives reseat position elements respectively placed on the fixed member and the movable member. The bias means restores the movable member to a still position. The deformation touch signal processing circuit generates a deformation touch signal. The contact touch signal processing circuit uses the reseat position elements as make-and-break electric contacts to generate a contact touch signal. The latch circuit inputs coordinate values every instant at which the deformation touch signal is output and stores the coordinate values as the most recent coordinate values for update, and when the contact touch signal is output, outputs the most recent coordinate values as detected coordinate values.

  • Patent number: 6411229
    Abstract: The present invention provides a variable length decoder which can reduce the processing time. The variable length decoder of the present invention comprises plural decoding table address generation circuits, and a selector for selecting one of plural address candidates generated from these circuits. During decoding of one variable length code, the variable length decoder obtains address candidates for the next variable length code, and then selects one of the address candidates for the next variable length code on the basis of an obtained code length of the variable length code, to output the same to the decoding table RAM.

  • Patent number: 6357089
    Abstract: A clip for a sheet electrode, which is capable of easily and reliably pinching a sheet electrode, and capable of minimizing the number of parts, thus facilitating the assembling. This clip is constructed such that a movable plate (20) provided with slots (25) to be engaged with supporting axes (13) is engaged with a substrate (10) having the supporting axes (13), and a conductive leaf spring (30) which is bent in the near middle thereof is interposed between the substrate and movable plate so as to keep them in an opened state. After the insertion of a sheet electrode (50), the movable plate is pivoted against the force of the leaf spring so as to close and pinch the sheet electrode. When the movable plate is further shifted forward along the slots, the movable plate is fixingly engaged with the substrate, thereby maintaining the pinching of the sheet electrode.
