Abstract:
To provide a speaker device that can form a substantially uniform sound field over a range from a long distance to a short distance without significantly increasing a calculation load. A plurality of FIR filters 21 to 2n perform delay control of respective speakers so as to increase a delay time difference between adjacent speakers 51 to 5n in a line array speaker 5 toward one end of the line array speaker 5, and thereby over a wide range from a long distance to a short distance, a sound filed 12 is formed. Also, by adding a common shift delay time Dc to filter coefficients for the FIR filters 21 to 2n, the delay time difference between adjacent speakers 51 to 5n is made less than a sampling period of a sound signal to form a wide and uniform sound field 12.

The high frequency shield is formed by covering the feeding path with a metal case 12 having an opening at a bottom face and conducting the metal case 12 to the electrically conducting layer 11 in the circuit area 11b.
Abstract:
An intercom exchange is connected to multiple terminals, and includes multiple communication paths, a digital switch circuit for switching connections between the terminals and the communication paths, and a CPU that controls the DSPs and the switch circuit. The CPU performs control for preferentially allocating a communication path to the first terminal, and the allocated DSP determines whether a sound from the first terminal that has been received as input via the switch circuit is an abnormal sound. Upon determining that the sound is an abnormal sound, the allocated DSP notifies the CPU, and upon receiving the notification, the CPU determines an alert destination based on the notification and performs alert processing for sending an alert to the alert destination.
Abstract:
An image compression apparatus and method capable of performing compression with different image qualities within an image. In a mosaic processing unit (16) of the image compression apparatus, a filtering region divider (130) divides input image data into a plurality of filtering areas and at least some of the filtering areas are subjected to unification processing for each of the filtering areas by a filtering unit (131). On the other hand, a JPEG encoder (17) divides the image data after the mosaic processing into a plurality of rectangular block areas and each of the block areas is subjected to DCT processing and quantization processing. Here, the filtering area consists of adjacent one or more sets of rectangular areas each consisting of two or more pixels obtained by equally dividing the aforementioned block area by 2n (n is a natural number).

An outer end in a radial direction of the sound travel inhibiting portion 19 is positioned at a substantially middle point between an outer end in the radial direction of the center hole 11 and an outer end in the radial direction of the peripheral hole 12 or positioned radially outward relative to the substantially middle point.
Abstract:
[Object]To downsize a power amplifier, while keeping isolation between a transmission line and ground potential.[Means to Realize Object]Two terminals (2a, 2b) of an audio signal source (2) are connected to an input of an isolation input circuit (6). An audio signal developed, being isolated from the input-side, between two output-side terminals (6a, 6b) of the isolation input circuit (6) are inputted to a power amplifying stage (12). The power amplifying stage (12) amplifies the audio signal and outputs it at a high voltage from two output terminals (12c, 12d) to a plurality of loudspeakers (22) without using an insulation transformer. Operating power is supplies to the power amplifying stage (12) from two power supply terminals (20c, 20d) of a DC power supply (14). One (6d) of the terminals of the insulation input circuit (6), one (12d) of the output terminals of the power amplifying stage (12) and one (20d) of the power supply terminals of the DC power supply (14) are connected together to provide a common potential point different from the ground potential.

Abstract:
To improve the data compression ratio in the data compression/decompression method utilizing the down-sampling process. Image data in a DS area division unit (130) is divided into a plenty of DS areas and DS areas which are not important are converted into contracted data of the block size by down-sampling in a down-sampling unit (131). A relocation unit (132) allocates two or more contracted data in one DS area, inserts file data into the other portion in the DS area, and removes the DS area where no contracted data is allocated, thereby reducing the entire image size. The image data thus contracted is inputted into a JPEG encoder (14) and subjected to a DCT process and a quantization process for each block. When performing restoration, decompression is performed by the JPEG decoder and the original location is restored. As for the contracted data, interpolation is performed to restore the image data.
