An unloading apparatus comprises a sensor interface, a gripping unit interface and a processor. A sensor interface acquires a photographed image from a sensor that photographs an image of a cargo group. A processor transmits, in a case of successfully recognizing each piece of cargo of a same-type cargo group, a first control signal to the gripping unit to perform unloading according to a first gripping method corresponding to the same-type cargo group, and transmits, in a case of failing to recognize each piece of cargo of the same-type cargo group, a second control signal to the gripping unit to perform unloading according to a second gripping method corresponding to a mixed-type cargo group including different types of cargo.

An object of the present invention is to impose a penalty on a player, without causing a sudden deceleration, when a moving body moving on a course formed in a virtual space contacts a sidewall at the edge of the course. To achieve this object, assume that a vehicle running on a course formed in a virtual space has contacted a sidewall at point A which corresponds to the 0frame. Whereupon, at point B which corresponds to the 1frame, an amount, Rf, is subtracted from vehicle speed V, and from the 2frame until point C which corresponds to the 60tframe, processing to subtract RSd from vehicle speed V is successively performed.

A reception carrier wave, a first transmission carrier wave, and a second transmission carrier wave are generated. The reception carrier wave is mixed with the reception wave to produce a reception signal. The frequency of the first transmission carrier wave is halved, and the first transmission carrier wave is mixed with a transmission signal to produce a modulated wave. The second transmission carrier wave is mixed with the modulated wave to produce a transmission wave. Since neither the frequency of the first transmission carrier wave nor the frequency of the second transmission carrier wave agrees with each of the frequency of the modulated wave and the frequency fTX, the degradation of the modulation precision on a transmission side can be prevented. Also, because the frequency of the first transmission carrier wave is halved, the interference of the first transmission carrier wave with the transmission signal band can be reduced.

Transmitting and receiving apparatus

A reception carrier wave, of which a frequency f,agrees with a frequency f,of a reception wave, is generated, a first transmission carrier wave, of which a frequency f,is equivalent to twice of a difference value between the reception frequency and a frequency f,of a transmission wave, is generated, and a second transmission carrier wave of which a frequency f,is equivalent to a difference value between the frequency f,and the frequency f,, is generated. The reception carrier wave is mixed with the reception wave to produce a reception signal. The frequency of the first transmission carrier wave is halved, and the first transmission carrier wave is mixed with a transmission signal to produce a modulated wave. The second transmission carrier wave is mixed with the modulated wave to produce a transmission wave. Therefore, because either the frequency of the first transmission carrier wave or the frequency of the second transmission carrier wave does not agree with each of the frequency of the modulated wave and the frequency f,, the degradation of the modulation precision on a transmission side can be prevented. Also, because the frequency of the first transmission carrier wave is halved, the interference of the first transmission carrier wave with the transmission signal band can be reduced.

A PLL frequency synthesizer has: a reference frequency generator which issues a first frequency signal; a PLL section which outputs a phase error signal based on the first frequency signal and a second frequency signal; a first filter which smoothes the phase error signal output from the PLL section according to a first reference, and which outputs a first smoothed phase error signal; a second filter which smoothes the phase error signal output from the PLL section according to a second reference, and which outputs a second smoothed phase error signal; a switch which issues, in a switching mode, the first or second smoothed phase error signal output from the first filter or the second filter; an output frequency generator which issues a second frequency signal based on the first or second smoothed phase error signal to the PLL section; and a switch controller which controls the changeover of the switch.

In a phase locked loop frequency synthesizer having multiple feedback loops, a reference phase signal is developed into two signals having a frequency twice as high as the reference frequency and the phase difference of the two signals is a half wavelength. The output frequency produced by a voltage-controlled oscillator is divided by two frequency dividers in accordance with predetermined frequency division factors. Each of the frequency-divided signals and each of the developed signals are subjected to phase comparison in pairs. A voltage signal corresponding to the phase differences is fed through a low-pass filter and supplied to the voltage-controlled oscillator.

Binary image data is obtained from image data including a number plate of a vehicle which is picked up by a TV camera. Contrast image data of vertical and horizontal components are obtained, respectively, from the binary image data. An image having a continuous region whose size or area falls outside a predetermined range is erased. Subsequently, the vertical and horizontal contrast image components are combined with each other.

Number plate image detecting apparatus

An input character image signal is converted into binary image data and then stored in an image memory. The binary image data stored in the image memory are profiled in the directions of X and Y axes to set a rectangular region circumscribing a desired character string. The binary image data included in the rectangular region are compared with a dictionary pattern to obtain candidate characters and their similarities. The sum of similarities corresponding to a candidate character and when it is more than a predetermined value, the candidate character is output as the result of recognition.

Character recognition apparatus

In an intelligent work station of this invention, map information for a target is stored in a database. Word speech data input through a telephone line is recognized and analyzed, and the database is retrieved accordingly, so that map information specified by the speech input is extracted from the database. The map information is transmitted to a destination communication terminal. When the destination communication terminal does not have an image output function, the map information is analyzed, and document data representing the content of the map is created. The document data is speech-synthesized, and is output to the destination communication terminal via the telephone line.
