Patent EP-0623930-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIGEHARA HIROSHI C O INT PROP
IPC: G11C11/401
Filed: 1994-05-04
Abstract: An IC (10) is divided into four circuit blocks (11 to 14) These four circuit blocks have the same function. While one of the circuit blocks is not functioning, a mode setting circuit (15) generates mode control signals (CTRL1 to CTRL4) for selecting a mode in which the operation frequency of the circuit block is set lower than in a normal operation mode. A main control circuit (16) controls the entire operation of the IC (10), and generates clock signals (CLK1 to CLK4) for defining the operations of the circuit blocks (11 to 14). Sub-control circuits (17-20) are arranged so as to correspond to the circuit blocks (11 to 14) and receive their respective mode control signals (CTRL1 to CTRL4) and clock signals (CLK1 to CLK4). Upon receiving the mode control signals, the sub-control circuits (17 to 20) controls their corresponding circuit blocks as to whether the circuit blocks are operated in the normal operation mode or at a frequency lower than that in the normal operation mode. In the normal operation mode, the sub-control circuits (17 to 20) each set the amount of direct current of a direct current supply circuit arranged in its corresponding circuit block to a normal value, in response to the mode control signals. In the special operation mode, the sub-control circuits each make the amount of direct current smaller than in the normal operation mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric power steering apparatus in which it is decided whether or not steering torque is in a predetermined drive inhibition area, and when the term in which the decision result is logically inconsistent with driving instruction for the motor (5) in accordance with the steering torque is shorter than a predetermined period of time, a timer (23) is reset to drive the motor (5). As a result, the compensation of the inertia of said motor (5) can be controlled even when the steering torque is small. Further, in the electric power steering apparatus, the timer (23) is also reset to drive the motor when the steering torque is in a dead zone and a driving current for the motor is smaller than a predetermined value. As a result, the drive of the motor can be controlled also when a steering wheel is returned to its initial position.

Abstract: An artificial internal organ, such as an artificial heart, comprising a pump unit (4) through which blood circulates and a drive shaft (10) for driving the pump unit, the drive shaft having a shaft sealing system (22, 27) thereon. The shaft sealing system is supplied with a sealing solution from a sealing solution chamber (21) and a sealing solution bag (12). The sealing solution is formed mainly of a physiological saline, which is loaded with a protease or several kinds of aminopeptides. When blood gets into the shaft sealing system (22, 27), it is prevented from coagulating by these admixtures. Although blood in the shaft sealing system (22, 27) of this type coagulates in a unique mechanism different from a conventional one, the protease and the aminopeptides never lose their effects even in such a unique situation.

Abstract: A relatively large amount of information can be scanned piecewise by means of a movable display device whose display area offers tactile information to one or more fingers. The subject-matter of the invention is a display device whose scanning elements (tactile elements), which are not laterally moveable, are shaped and arranged in such a manner and controlled so that during lateral displacement of the information presented a similar scanning impression is produced as when the fingers slide over the stationary tactile information. In the display area (1) movable scanning pins (6) are arranged in such a manner that in at least one dimension the distance between neighbouring scanning pins amounts to not more than 1.6 mm. Piezoelectric bending strips (7) are controlled in such a manner by the phase-related connection of an alternating voltage that they can exert a number of different forces on the supported fingers by means of the scanning pins (6). The bending strips (7) and the electronic switches (10) are mounted on printed circuit boards (8). Driving the scanning pins can optionally be carried out in such a manner that the virtual total information seems either to be stationary or to be moving in the direction opposite to the movement of the display area.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Golf club irons of the perimeter weighted type are provided wherein each iron of a set includes a club head having a toe portion, a heel portion having a hosel, a ball-striking face having a plurality of parallel substantially horizontal grooves formed therein, and a generally convex back surface. A cavity is formed in the back surface of each club head and configured to selectively distribute the weight about the perimeter of the head to create a plurality of elliptical force lines concentric with the sweet spot on the club face and having their major axis substantially parallel to the grooves on the club face. Golf irons in accordance with the present invention effectively provide larger sweet spots on the hitting faces of the irons so as to produce results from off-center shots that more closely approach the results produced when balls are struck by the exact sweet spot on the club face.

Abstract: The rotor of a rotary position sensor mounts directly upon the rotary shaft to be sensed. The rotor prior to installation is retained in position by a pair of small protrusions extending from the rotor that cooperatively engage a pair of small indentations formed in a pair of supporting arms. During the installation process, the rotor is slipped onto the shaft and the protrusions are released from the engaged position. During operation of the position sensor, the rotor is free from direct contact with either the supporting arms or any other stationary part of the position sensor. Only the contactors engage the stationary components. This design eliminates the need for bearings and return springs prevalent in the prior art.

Abstract: A method of arbitrary image resolution conversion takes an original print ready image at a first resolution and orientation and simulates printing of that image by creating a representation of a page at a particular resolution and orientation using a nonlinear spot model for the reconstruction function (100). The image is then sampled with an aperture that corresponds to the desired output (120,130,160). The image data, which may be definable at several bits per pixel, is then made print-ready (140) by reducing the number of bits defining each pixel to a valid output state. The reduction step is accomplished through error diffusion methods (150) that maintain the local area gray density level. Since the reconstruction model is nonlinear, the spot model more closely emulates the actual printed dot and reduces artifacts in the printed image, namely moire.
