    摘要: A speech based man-machine communication system is given, comprising more than one controllable device provided with speech synthesis function. Each of the devices in question is provided with its own unique voice pattern. The devices are connected via a bus, so that a central authority handles all the requests from the user. Because the user uses his natural language, commands can be ambiguous. Therefore an algorithm for handling ambiguous situations is provided.

    摘要: When a given row in an array of a liquid crystal display having a toggling backplane voltage is de-selected, the row select line voltage also toggles to prevent capacitive current in the pixel capacitance. The row select line driver includes a pair of transistors coupled in a push-pull configuration. The pair of transistors are responsive to a control signal that is produced in a corresponding stage of cascaded stages of a shift register. The pair of transistors form a buffer stage that prevents the toggling voltage developed in the row select line when the row is de-selected from affecting the operation of the shift register.

    摘要: A transmitted high definition television signal is represented by a packetized datastream configured as a sequence of data fields with a non-uniform data rate due to different types of different duration non-data overhead information. Each data field is prefaced by a Field Sync overhead segment followed by 312 packetized data segments each with associated overhead information. At a transmitter, a transport processor forms data packets with associated headers and exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate, while supplying a packetized datastream to a network which constructs sequential data fields by inserting the non-data overhead information into the datastream. The transport processor is advantageously operated at a constant uniform data rate without having to modify the original data field structure to accommodate the needs of the data field construction network. This result is facilitated by transferring data from the transport processor to an associated interface/buffer network in response to a 3/8 symbol clock, in combination with a predetermined buffer fullness level. A counterpart transport processor/decoder at a receiver coacts with a data field processor and similarly exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate.

    摘要: For motion compensated interpolation (MCI) with sub-pixel accuracy, the missing pixels need to be interpolated prior to the motion compensation. The required pixel values are stored using line and pixel delays. A switch matrix selects, in response to a motion vector, such stored pixels which are currently needed for the processing. In order to avoid sub-pixel MCI, the interpolation is carried out prior to the motion compensation. In order to avoid an increased input data rate of the motion compensation circuitry, only a standard switch matrix is used. A special arrangement of delays storing pixel values needed for the processing is used to extend the standard delay array. Because an increased number of pixels is involved, an improved sub-pixel MCI can be achieved. This is because such a delay extension does not significantly affect the decoded picture quality even if adjacent motion vectors do not exactly match the current motion vector.

    摘要: A procedure for quantification of coefficients in a variable data rate image compression system, in the form of blocks and macroblocks, the system including circuitry for transformation of blocks of pixels into blocks of coefficients, circuitry for quantification of these coefficients, circuitry for storage of coded information before transmission, and circuitry for regulation of quantification as a function of the state of the circuitry for storage. The procedure is such that each image is divided into groups of blocks, at least when a so-called current image must be coded in inter mode, a quantifier is determined at the start of the current image, the quantifier being corrected by a correction coefficient recalculated before the quantification of at least one of the groups, the coefficient being a function of the difference between, first, the number of bits produced for all the groups of blocks previously coded and, secondly, a prediction of this number of bits, the prediction being based on the distribution of the bits during the coding of at least one image preceding the current image. The invention is applicable notably in the field of image compression at low data transmission rates.
