Abstract: A method for modifying a substrate (1) surface entails applying a varnish (4) to the surface and allowing it to harden. An absorbent layer (7) of paper is embedded in the still fluid layer of varnish and finally hardened by ultra-violet or electron beam radiation. Pref. the thickness of the varnish layer is chosen to be about the same as that of the paper layer which consists of  alpha -cellulose with high air permeability. A printed or coloured paper and a pigmented varnish can be used which is cured by beams of electrons. A paper loaded with solid particles, e.g. of corundum, can also be used.

Abstract: A method of modeling subsurface reservoir conditions deals with non-uniqueness of seismic reflection signals with respect to reservoir conditions by proposing and then comparing both seismic and lithologic data for forward model sites to select the most likely model for each site. Forward modeling techniques are used to build a synthetic seismic trace catalog, which includes a range of corresponding pseudo-logs for reservoir characteristics that could reasonably exist within a defined region. Then each synthetic seismic trace in the catalog is compared against every real seismic trace, and a number (e.g., 10 to 50) of synthetic traces is selected for association with each real trace that best match the real trace. Finally, the pseudo-logs corresponding to the number of selected synthetic seismic traces for each forward model site are compared to the pseudo-logs selected for adjacent sites to select the most lithologically coherent pseudo-log at each site for use in generating a model display of reservoir characteristics.

Abstract: This invention relates to a swivel caster fitted with rotational and swivel angle measurement sensors mounted to a driverless vehicle so that the lateral motion of the vehicle can be detected and accounted for by the vehicle's navigation and guidance system. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a driverless vehicle comprising a navigation and guidance system having an angular motion sensor and a track wheel caster assembly equipped with a caster pivot sensor and a wheel rotation sensor to determine the relative position of the vehicle by taking into account substantially all movement of the vehicle along the surface upon which the vehicle is travelling.

Abstract: Le vocabulaire d'un système de reconnaissance vocale possédant un vocabulaire très étendu est organisé pour pouvoir effectuer une édition rapide et efficace des mots dans un réseau lexical enregistrant le vocabulaire. Le réseau lexical est structuré pour comporter des noeuds de contraintes phonétiques qui organisent l'information phonétique entre les mots dans le réseau et des noeuds de classes de mots qui organisent l'information syntaxique/sémantique dans le réseau. Des fragments du réseau, correspondant à des prononciations différentes de phonèmes et étiquetés pour spécifier les interconnexions permises, sont passés en revue au préalable pour faciliter la génération de la prononciation de mots nouveaux et donc faciliter une addition rapide de mots au vocabulaire, même pendant l'opération de reconnaissance vocale. Différents modèles de langages et différents vocabulaires pour différentes portions d'un discours sont invoqués d'une manière qui dépend, en partie, de l'historique du système.

Abstract: A battery charger includes charge control circuits each
connected in parallel with an associated one of serially-connected
battery cells. Each charge control circuit
includes a switching device; a comparator, having a
hysteresis characteristic determined by two threshold
voltages, e.g., a safe charging voltage and an optimum
charging voltage, for comparing the battery voltage with
one of the threshold voltages selected according to a
changing direction of the battery voltage; a reference
voltage source for generating a reference voltage
corresponding to either one of the threshold values; and a
driving circuit for receiving a comparator output to render
the switching device conductive or cutoff. When the
battery voltage falls between the threshold voltages, the
switching device becomes conductive to cause a constant
current to flow from the battery cell to the switching
device.

Abstract: A communication system is presented whereby sequences
of video screens sent from a host CPU to a video controller
can be stored and subsequently retrieved by a terminal
located remote from the host CPU. The host CPU and video
controller form part of a server arranged within a
distributed computing system. An administrator situated at
the remote terminal can retrieve select video screens
produced during server operations to determine information
regarding the server configuration and possible causes of
server failure or future failure. The sequence of video
screens thereby represent video screen changes stored upon
a server controller adapted for coupling to the server
expansion bus. The video screen changes represent a sequence
of video screen changes occurring prior to server failure or
after server reset. Those changes provide beneficial
information to an administrator located remote from the
server, and allows the administrator to communicate with the
server using several possible communication protocols. The
server controller snoops display data written from the host
CPU to the video controller and mirrors the display data upon
buffers within the server controller. Information within the
buffers can be called upon by a remotely situated
administrator regardless of whether server power is lost in
the interim.

Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus employing
a cyclic error diffusion method for binarizing a basic
image represented by multivalued data, in order to form
a high quality image represented in pseudo tones with
reduced noise caused by the binarization. When each
pixel is sequentially binarized by applying the error
diffusion method to the basic image, errors generated at
one edge of the basic image are incorporated into the
edge of the other side, and error diffusion is performed
while incorporating the errors. Furthermore, a
supplemental image, which is a part of the basic image,
is added to the upper edge of the basic image to form a
combined image, and the error diffusion processing is
performed by utilizing the combined image. Upon
completing the binarization processing, binary data in
the lower edge portion of the supplemental image is
compared with binary data in the corresponding lower
edge portion of the basic image, and pixel values in the
area are corrected based on the comparison result.

Abstract: In, for example, radio and TV shops it is desirable
to use a backing wall structure for carrying sales
shelves and wall panels, behind which there is space for
concealed drawing of various cables, which should then
only cross the wall panels. Associated throughlet
apertures therein are aesthetically undesired at places
where they are not hidden by apparatus units on the
shelves. According to the invention this problem is
eliminated in that the panel plates (12) are freely
pivotably suspended at their top edges and have a height
dimension such that they depend to slightly below the top
edge area of the respective underlying panel plates at
the rear side thereof, whereby a throughlet opening,
invisible from the front side, can be established only by
a slight rearward pivoting of the actual panel plate.
Several further advantages of this structure are
disclosed.

Abstract: In a fuel injection control system, a throttle
valve is provided on the intake air passage of a diesel
engine and an EGR control valve is provided for recycling
a part of the engine exhaust gas to the intake air system
of the engine. An engine control unit (ECU) controls the
intake air amount of the engine to a value corresponding
to the engine operating condition by adjusting the
throttle valve and the EGR control valve. Further, the
ECU detects the actual intake air amount by an airflow
meter disposed at the inlet of the intake air passage and
determines the maximum fuel injection amount based on the
engine speed and the actual intake air amount. The
maximum fuel injection amount is the maximum amount of
the fuel which does not generate the exhaust smoke. By
restricting the actual fuel injection amount so that the
actual fuel injection amount does not exceed the maximum
fuel injection amount, the generation of the exhaust
smoke is prevented in transient operating conditions of
the engine regardless of a delay in the response of the
EGR control valve.
