Patent EP-0924639-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKEBE HIROAKI
IPC: G06K9/46
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: The connected elements of an input image are obtained
and grouped (GROUP a,b,a1,b1) based on the relative positions of the
connected elements and the similarity in thickness (Fig. 5A).
Then, the character recognition level of a group is
obtained by performing a character recognizing
process. The obtained character recognition level is
weighted by the area of a rectangular area. Using a
total of the weighted values as an evaluation value
of the group, the evaluation value is obtained for all
combinations in all groups (Fig. 5B). The combination of the
groups having the highest evaluation value is
extracted as a character string (Fig. 5C).

Title: Picoreseaux a saut de frequence dans un systeme multi-utilisateur radio non coordonne
Inventor: HAARTSEN JACOBUS CORNELIS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-09-16
Abstract: Un réseau radio comprend des unités maître et esclaves. Le maître envoie une adresse maîtresse et une synchronisation maîtresse aux esclaves. La communication s'effectue au moyen d'un canal de saut de fréquence virtuel dont la séquence de saut est une fonction de l'adresse maître et dont la phase est une fonction de la synchronisation maîtresse. Des messages d'interrogation émis demandent aux esclaves l'adresse esclave et des informations de topologie, qui pourraient être utilisées pour générer une arborescence de détermination d'acheminement destiné à une connexion entre les unités maître et esclaves. L'adresse esclave et les informations de topologie peuvent contenir une adresse propre prise à chacune des unités esclaves et seulement des listes d'adresses de premier ordre de chacune des unités esclaves. La génération de l'arborescence s'effectue par génération d'une hiérarchie d'anneaux de connectivité pris de listes d'adresses du premier ordre. Chaque anneau de connectivité peut être généré conformément à une règle selon laquelle un anneau de connectivité hiérarchiquement supérieur ne peut pas contenir de noeuds représentant des unités déjà représentées par un noeud dans un anneau de connectivité hiérarchiquement inférieur. En variante, chaque anneau de connectivité peut être généré par considération d'un anneau de connectivité classé dans la hiérarchie et auquel sont liés des noeuds parents, et par intégration des noeuds représentant tous les enfants des noeuds parents dans un anneau hiérarchiquement immédiatement supérieur de telle façon qu'aucun descendant d'un parent ne puisse représenter la même unité que le parent; qu'aucun descendant de l'enfant du parent ne puisse représenter la même unité que l'un quelconque des enfants; et qu'aucun enfant d'un parent quelconque ne puisse avoir le même nom que n'importe quel autre enfant dudit parent.

Abstract: An output stage of a subscriber line interface circuit comprises two amplifiers, a first (111) one of which is configured to operate as an inverting amplifier (negative amplification) and a second (110) one as a non-inverting amplifier (positive amplification). Each amplifier has an output connected to a respective wire (a, b) in a subscriber line. A common reference voltage (Vref) and a common control voltage (Vc) are supplied to each amplifier (110, 111). The reference voltage (Vref) is used for setting the average voltage of the subscriber line. The control voltage (Vc) level determines the offset of the amplifier output voltages (Vb, Va) from the average voltage. The difference between the amplifier output voltages provides the subscriber line supply voltage which, together with subscriber loop resistance, determines loop current (Iloop). Loop current is measured (R1, R2, 117, 118) separately from each subscriber line wire and the measurement results are summed, a possible common mode interference being thereby cancelled. If loop current is too high, a control member (126) changes the control voltage, with a predetermined time constant, to a direction which reduces the amplifier output voltages (Va, Vb). The voltage difference between the subscriber line wires (a, b) thus becomes smaller and the loop current increases. When the measured loop current reaches a desired value, the control voltage (Vc) produced by the control member (126) sets at the voltage level reached. As a result, a very simple and inexpensive subscriber line power supply and loop current control is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to continuous gas fluidised bed polymerisation of olefins,
especially ethylene, propylene, or mixtures of these with other alpha olefins,
wherein the monomer-containing recycle gas employed to fluidise the bed is cooled
to condense out at least some liquid hydrocarbon. The condensed liquid, which can
be a monomer or an inert liquid, is separated from the recycle gas and is introduced
directly to the bed to produce cooling by latent heat of evaporation. The liquid is
introduced directly into the bed using injection means. The process provides
substantially improved productivity of gas fluidised bed polymerisation of olefins.

Abstract: A compressor includes a compressing mechanism for
compressing refrigerant gas and an oil separator for
separating the oil from the gas. The separated oil is used
to lubricate the compressor. The compressor has a discharge
passage (18) to permit refrigerant gas to flow out of the
compressor, a recess (41) located in the discharge passage
(18), a plug (44) press fitted in the recess (41) and a
supply passage (31) for returning the separated oil to the
compressor. The plug (44) and the recess (41) define a
separation chamber (49) having a circular cross-section and
an annular chamber (50). The separation chamber (49) is
connected with the annular chamber (50) by an outlet passage
(51) formed in the plug (44). The refrigerant gas swirls
along the wall of the separation chamber (49), which
separates the oil from the gas. Since the plug (44) is press
fitted in the recess (41), installation of the plug (44) is
facilitated. This structure also prevents the plug (44) from
loosening.

Abstract: First and second aspirator manipulation units operate a
single-pipette in a coagulation analyzer for aspirating
plasma samples from both rubber-capped as well as uncapped
vessels. A first holder in the first aspirator manipulation
unit actually retains the pipette, while a second holder in
the second aspirator manipulation unit is configured to
enclose the first holder leaving a predetermined amount of
play. To move the pipette toward a sample vessel in a rack
that has been shifted into aspiration position, the holders
in the manipulation units are inter-fitted, and are
translated down. If the pipette strikes a cap, a sensing
means in the first aspirator manipulation unit signals a
controller to operate the first aspirator manipulation unit
to back the pipette upward slightly. Thereupon, the
controller, via the second aspirator manipulation unit,
actuates the second holder alone to press on the first
holder to stab the pipette through the cap. For this
operation, the pipette tip is cut obliquely and the rim of
its inner wall is specially chamfered to prevent the
punctured rubber in the cap from clogging the tip. After
the pipette aspirates an aliquot of the plasma sample, the
controller actuates the second holder in reverse to draw the
pipette out from the cap. The first aspirator manipulation
unit carries out other pipette manipulation operations
alone. Accordingly, the pipette is driven differentially in
accordance with the capped/uncapped status of the vessel
present in the aspiration position.
