Abstract: Regarding a method for determining battery discharge capability of the present invention, the optimum state vector X is estimated by extended Kalman filter operation. Using the estimated state vector X, element parameters of an equivalent circuit 21 are renewed to the optimum (step S7). Furthermore, based on the equivalent circuit 21 using the renewed element parameters, at the time of discharging with a predetermined current pattern from a battery 12, a voltage drop ΔV is estimated (step S8). Therefore the discharge capacity of the battery 12 is determined (step S9).

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus having a transmission circuit which generates a transmission signal is provided. The transmission signal corresponds to a combined waveform of a trapezoidal waveform and an impulse-shaped waveform (impulse portion) . In an example transmission signal, a front slope portion, a flat portion, and a rear slope portion exist in a positive polarity side. The impulse portion has a shape which protrudes from an offset level over a base line into an opposite polarity side. Because the center frequency of the trapezoidal waveform is near the DC component, the trapezoidal waveform can substantially be ignored. The impulse portion has a large amplitude, but because the impulse portion exists over both polarities, there is no need to apply a special high voltage countermeasure for each polarity in designing the transmission circuit. A trapezoidal waveform of an opposite polarity may be added in front of the trapezoidal waveform.

Abstract: A continuous clock auction with proxy bidding can be a forward auction or a reverse auction, for one or more products. An auction manager determines initial eligibility for each bidder, and sets a starting price for each product. At the initial starting price(s), bidders submit initial offers for each product. A bidder's initial offer cannot exceed his initial eligibility. Bidders may also specify proxy bids, comprising all or part of a bidding strategy. Bidding occurs in a sequence of rounds. At the end of a round, the next round begins. Thus, the clock runs continuously. At the end of each round, the auction manager adjusts the prices based on demand. After each price change, bidders can adjust their bids. The auction ends when prices reach the point at which no product is over-subscribed.

Abstract: A heat receiver includes a casing (44) defining a flow passage (46) on a thermal conductive plate (45). The thermal conductive plate is received on an electronic component. The thermal conductive plate serves to transfer heat to coolant in the flow passage. At least two inflow nozzles (47) extend into the casing to have discharge openings opposed to the upstream end of the flow passage. The coolant flows into the flow passage through the inflow nozzles. At least two streams of the coolant are thus generated in the flow passage. The streams widely expand or spread in the flow passage. The coolant flows through the flow passage without stagnating. The coolant can thus absorb the heat of the thermal conductive plate in an efficient manner. This results in an efficient heat absorption of the heat receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed are a deblocking filtering method for image data and a deblocking filter. According to the deblocking filtering method for image data and the deblocking filter, when computation of BS values for each boundary based on one of horizontal and vertical directions from input image data is completed, it is possible to estimate BS values for each boundary based on a direction different from the currently selected direction by using the computed BS values. Further, deblocking filtering is performed based on corresponding directions according to the estimated values, so that the deblocking filtering can be completely performed with only a BS value of boundaries based on a selected one direction. Consequently, a BS value computation process necessarily required in a deblocking filtering process can be considerably reduced, and thus time required in the operation process of a deblocking filter can also be considerably reduced.
