US Patent:

40645347, Dec 20, 1977

Filed:

Apr 20, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/678467

Inventors:

Tung Chang Chen - Villanova PA
Thomas M. Chen - Doylestown PA

Assignee:

Leone International Sales Corporation - Bridgeton NJ

International Classification:

250
H04N 718

US Classification:

358107

Abstract:

The present system provides a means to record an image of an item which is extremely difficult to inspect because of its peculiar shape or because the person who is inspecting it cannot come in close proximity thereto, such as red hot glass being measured for form and size immediately upon being formed into a bottle. The present system employs a television camera and logic circuitry to electronically compare the profile of said image against a standard item whereby the item being inspected or measured can either be rejected or accepted.

International Classification:

H04N 576

US Classification:

358335

Abstract:

A filter limits the bandwidth of a caption video signal in a video disc player to minimize color beats when the caption signal is displayed along with a picture video signal on a television receiver. The filter delay, which would otherwise cause offset between the caption and an associated background signal used to enhance visibility of the caption, is compensated for by extending the time duration of each occurrence of the background signal by a multiple of the filter delay.

US Patent:

Filed:

May 22, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/526641

Inventors:

Thomas N. Chen - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379100

Abstract:

A fax message record/relay device or system operates in conjunction with a local fax machine. The system allows the local fax machine to operate normally while the record/relay device simply records incoming fax messages and stores them in a memory. An authorized person may call in to the record/relay system and request that the fax messages be forwarded to a telephone number corresponding to a fax machine which the authorized person has immediate access to. The authorized person uses a password and a DTMF push button telephone in order to remotely input commands to the record/relay system.

Appl. No.:

5/489574

Inventors:

Anthony Frank Presto - Nutley NJ
James Grant Dunn - Upper Montclair NJ
Thomas Chungmin Chen - West Caldwell NJ

Assignee:

International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation - Nutley NJ

International Classification:

H04M 356
H04Q 1104

US Classification:

179 18BC

Abstract:

There is disclosed a digital conference bridge for a delta modulated switching system having information transmitted by delta modulation bits in M channels of a time division multiplex frame, where M is an integer greater than three. N conferees, where N is an integer greater than two but less than M, are interconnected by a time switch to enable a conference to take place among the conferees. N three stage shift registers are provided, one for the delta modulation bits of each of the conferees. N sequence detectors are coupled to an associated one of the shift registers to produce a binary 1 output when bits stored in the shift register are all binary 1 or all binary 0. N counters each have their count increased by the binary 1 output of an associated one of the sequence detectors. A count comparator is coupled in common to all the counters and produces a control signal indicating a new speaker for the counter having the largest count. A selection matrix is coupled to each shift register and responds to the control signal to couple the delta modulation data of the new speaker through a one stage memory to the time switch for distribution to all of the conferees.
