Patent EP-1046893-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BOGDANOV LEONID
IPC: G01L5/22
Filed: 2000-04-25
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a torque sensing
apparatus (10)for sensing torque applied to an elongated
shaft (12) having a longitudinal axis (14). An elongated
magnetoelastic element (16) is connected about a portion
of the shaft (12). The magnetoelastic element (16)
provides a magnetic field in response to a torque (T)
applied to the shaft (12). A magnetic member (28) is
positioned adjacent the magnetoelastic element (16). An
alternating power source (34) drives the magnetic
member (28) into magnetic saturation. The magnetic
member (28) has a saturation condition responsive to the
magnetic field of the magnetoelastic element (16). A
detector circuit (36) detects the saturation condition of
the magnetic member. The detector circuit (36) provides a
signal indicative of the applied torque in response to the
saturation condition of the magnetic member (28).

Abstract: Provided is a message broker and a method of processing message
content within a publish/subscribe message distribution service. The
message broker and method extends publish/subscribe service capability to
heterogeneous communications networks in which different subscriber systems
can have very different capabilities in terms of their multimedia
presentation capabilities, processing capabilities and storage
capabilities. The broker modifies the content of messages received from
publisher application programs to conform to the subscriber system
capabilities prior to distribution to subscriber applications. The broker
is adapted to identify characteristics of the content of received messages
and to use this information to determine which of a set of message handler
modules to pass the message to. Derived messages are generated by the
selected message handler module and sent to subscribers for which this
message type or message content has been requested. A multimedia processing
module is preferably selected in response to identification of certain
multimedia content.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve apparatus for adjusting
parallel flows. Moreover, the invention comprises a method
for manufacturing a valve member belonging to said apparatus,
a method for adjusting parallel flows, a method for
washing said apparatus and a dosing apparatus. The valve
apparatus includes at least two valve members 1, la movable
with respect to each other, in which members there are
provided parallel channels 3 for said flows. The ends 4 of
the channels are located on opposite sliding surfaces 2 belonging
to the valve members, so that when the channel
ends are matched, the flow paths are open, and when the
channel ends are deviated, the flow paths are closed.
Moreover, in at least one of the opposite sliding surfaces 2,
there are made grooves 5 in between the channel ends 4.
The grooves 5 can serve as washing channels in order to
prevent contamination between parallel flows, in addition
to which they serve, when manufacturing the valve member,
as collectors of grinding dust and grinding paste. The
grooves also make it possible to wash the sliding surfaces at
a pressure that overcomes the force of the spring 19 charging
the valve members, thus pushing the sliding surfaces
apart. The flow adjustment according to the invention can
be applied in simultaneously feeding small batches of liquid
onto a microtiter plate 13 containing fluid positions 12
in a matrix-like fashion.

Abstract: An LED (2) is an element in which when a voltage
pulse (Vd) applied to the intrinsic diode of an
electrical equivalent model reaches a peak value, a
current suddenly flows to obtain an optical output
proportional to the forward current. By utilizing this
property, the LED (2) receives a rectangular voltage
pulse having a large-current driving ability at a low
output impedance, or a voltage pulse having two high
levels. The low level of the voltage pulse is set
within a voltage range where the extinction ratio of an
output signal from the LED can be maintained. Even in
an LED having a large internal capacitance, an increase
in power consumption can be minimized, the transient
response time can be shortened, high-speed modulation
can be performed, and output light almost free from
pulse waveform distortion can be obtained.

Abstract: A hybrid driving device is provided with an engine shaft I, a
motor shaft II, and a countershaft III. A parking gear 54, which
has conventionally been placed on the countershaft, is placed on
the engine shaft I to reduce torque loads applied to parts
associated with a parking mechanism 8 and, at the same time, the
countershaft is placed so as not to overlap an engine or a motor
in a radial direction as a result of an axial length being
shortened, thereby shortening the distance between the engine
shaft and the motor shaft. The parts associated with the parking
mechanism are placed in a dead space of an oil pan near a valve
body, being supported by the valve body and a casing wall, thereby
cutting down on space required for arrangement.

Abstract: When coded video and audio signals are decoded by
a computer, the computation amount required per unit time
is enormous. Depending on the performance of a CPU,
therefore, it is very difficult to perform the decoding
in real time. With respect to an audio, when all data are
not output in real time, a dull audio output is produced
or sound skipping occurs. 
     In the decoding method, when a coded video or a coded
audio is to be decoded by using a PC, a decoding end target
time for realizing an audio real time reproduction is
compared with an actual decoding end time in each of decoding
units. If the actual decoding end time is later than the
decoding end target time, a video decoding is temporarily
interrupted, or the priority of the video decoding is
lowered, thereby realizing an audio real time reproduction. 
     In the decoding method, when a coded video or a coded
audio is to be decoded by using a PC, a scheduling method
is provided to more efficiently perform a data input, an
audio decoding, and a video decoding by using a buffer for
at least three frames.
