摘要:
An automatic playing system creates a feedback control loop for the keys incorporated in an acoustic piano; key sensors, which are provided under the front portions of the keys, informs a motion controller of current positions, and the motion controller periodically compares the current position and a current velocity with a target position on a reference trajectory and a target velocity to see whether or not a positional deviation and a velocity deviation occur; when the motion controller finds the deviations, the motion controller multiplies the deviations by a position gain and a velocity gain for determining an increment or decrement of the duty ratio of driving signals, and supplies the driving signals to the solenoid-operated actuators so as to accelerate or decelerate the keys; the gain is variable depending upon the key motion so that the actual key trajectory becomes close to the reference trajectory.

An image signal encoding device has at least encoding means of dividing a luminescence signal and color-difference signals of image signals into macro blocks having a plurality of sub macro blocks and encoding data of the macro blocks with use of any one of a plurality of compression modes of which compression rate is different each other, wherein the total numbers of sub macro blocks in the each macro block are the same for the use of the all kinds of compression modes.

A video signal layering-encoding system has at least either a frequency distribution unit to judge a frequency distribution in an input video signal or a motion judgment unit to judge the motion of an input video signal. With this, encoding quantity control according to the characteristics of the input video signal can be performed between layers. Also, with selection of encode modes and sharing of a motion vector, the encoded data of a bidirectionally predicted frame can be reduced and the encoding efficiency of a high resolution signal can be increased.

In a real-time operating system, a plurality of tasks is grouped into blocks in consideration of the deadline times required by each task, switching between tasks that belong to the same block, is not done by the task switch of the real-time operating system, but rather is done directly by a task block scheduler, so that tasks within one and the same block are substantially treated as the same task. Only when the execution of a task belonging to a block that is different from the block of the currently executing task is to be started is the task switch used to switch between tasks, thereby reducing the load placed on the real-time operating system in managing tasks.

An ideal automatic player piano is assumed to reproduce an original performance from fundamental data representative of a fundamental forward key trajectory and a backward key trajectory; however, if an actual automatic player piano reproduces a forward key trajectory and a backward key trajectory on the basis of the fundamental data, the forward key trajectory and the backward key trajectory do not faithfully reproduce the original key motions; for this reason, the actual automatic player piano learns first offset time at the end position and second offset time at an intermediate position between the end position and the rest position so as to determine a virtual forward key trajectory and a virtual backward key trajectory, and further learns first dead time around the rest position and second dead time around the rest position so as to exactly determining first starting time at the rest position and a second starting time at the end position, thereby moving keys along composite forward/backward trajectories for imparting a final hammer velocity to a hammer associated with the key to be moved in playback.

In shuffling used as an efficient coding method for an input digital video signal, input digital television signals of different standards are judged in an input judging circuit, the judged information is sent out into a memory write control circuit and a memory read control circuit. The memory write control circuit determines the offset value of the vertical address according to the judgement signal, and writes the input signal at a position corresponding to the screen of the determined shuffling region of the shuffling range corresponding to each signal in the shuffling memory, or writes the block out of the shuffling range into the shuffling memory according to the specified control method in the vacant region of the shuffling range. The memory read control circuit changes over the offset value of the vertical address to be read out from the memory and the address control according to the judgement information.

A hammer sensor incorporated in a keyboard musical instrument monitors a motion of each hammer assembly, and a controller not only determines a hammer velocity and an impact time for generating a set of music data codes representative of a music performance but also measures an actual distance between the hammer sensor and an impact point against a music string on the basis of a forward trajectory and a backward trajectory measured by the hammer sensor; thereby allowing a worker to easily adjust the hammer sensor to an appropriate position.
摘要:
A method of coding image data with coefficients between fields by increasing the coefficients prior to coding comprising the steps of: (1) detecting a motion vector in a reference field to a sample field to check whether the reference field is zoomed in or out relative to the sample field, data of the reference field being coded based on the sample field; (2) zooming out the reference field when the reference field is zoomed in relative to the sample field, and zooming in the reference field when the reference field is zoomed out relative to the sample field according to the motion vector; and (3) coding the reference field after the reference field has been zoomed according to the motion vector in the second step. In the second step, the reference field may be zoomed out by eliminating pixels that are not adjacent in one of a vertical direction and a horizontal direction.

A controller module associated with a mechanical piano memorizes a plurality sets of parameters produced from detected trajectories of depressed keys in a floppy disk in a recording mode of operation, and restores the trajectories on the basis of the sets of parameters for driving an actuator array associated with a keyboard in a playback mode, thereby exactly reproducing a music without sacrifice of the memory capacity.
