    Abstract: The disclosed delta modulation decoding apparatus responds rapidly to sudden transitions of the delta-modulated signal but avoids excessive noise during periods of no transition. The decoder involves the use of a shift register which receives the incoming delta-modulated code bits and supplies data in parallel to two circuit branches, one containing a delta modulation decoder of any chosen type and the other circuit branch containing a state-responsive, non-linear filter or table, the respective outputs of these two branches being additively combined to provide the decoded and filtered output signal.

    Abstract: A box having at least two sides and a base adjacent to one another and oriented at angles with respect to each of the others is disposed with the base planar surface inclined relative to the horizontal and vertical so that an object placed on the base will gravitate to the lowest point upon vibration of the box. A plurality of sensors may be provided in a predetermined pattern in the base adjacent the lowest point to provide a digital readout indicative of the final orientation of various objects which can be utilized to control a robot manipulator.

    Abstract: GAIN METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A DELTA MODULATOR In a delta modulator a sequence of code symbols are generated which are indicative of increments of signal level, with each code symbol being determined in accordance with the difference in signal level between an input signal and a prediction signal which is a representation of the input signal. A sequence of the generated code symbols are stored, including the most recent code symbol and a preceding number of code symbols, with the pattern or code symbols at any instant defining a state of signal activity. There is a table of delta increments, a table of threshold values, and a digital gain logic network, all of which provide signal outputs which are controlled by the state of signal activity represented by the stored code signal pattern. The signal output from the delta table and the threshold table are modified an amount determined by the value of the signal output from the digital gain logic network. An accumulation of modified delta increments are summed with modified threshold values for providing the prediction signal. The prediction signal and the input signal are compared for generating a new code symbol.

    Abstract: A system for compacting digital data by means of prediction error coding. Prediction for each unknown bit is a function of previous detected levels in the data stream. A plurality of n-bit up-down counters, each associated with one of the possible states of prediction for an unknown bit, is utilized to arrive at a prediction of the level of the unknown bit. If the value found in the up-down counter is above a pre-specified level, a prediction will be made that the unknown bit is a one, otherwise, the prediction is zero.

    Abstract: YO98-007 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALIBRATING A ROBOT TO COMPENSATE FOR INACCURACY OF THE ROBOT A method and apparatus for calibrating a robot and using the results of this calibration to compensate for inaccuracies of the robot and also to diagnose robot deterioration. The method includes moving the robot to a set of nominal positions, commanded by the robot controller or measured by position encoders built into the robot, and determining the associated actual positions by measuring the robot position with an independent accurate measuring means or by aligning the robot end effector with an accurate calibration mask. The calibration results are stored and subsequently used to compensate for robot inaccuracy so that the robot moves to the actual desired positions.
