Title: Verbesserung des Videofrequenzgangs
Inventor: SOWIG HELMUT
IPC: H04N21/426
Filed: 1999-11-29
Abstract: Für eine optimale Bildschirmtext-Datencodierung, für eine fehlerfreie Funktion sogenannter Descrambler und - nicht zuletzt - für den Eindruck einer verbesserten Detailauflösung auf dem Bildschirm eines Fernsehgerätes dargestellter Bilder ist es bekannt, den Videofrequenzgang durch Beeinflussung der höheren Frequenzanteile im Videosignalspektrum zu bearbeiten. Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, bei Fernsehgeräten eine Bearbeitung des Videofrequenzgangs mittels Tuner-Abstimmung zu vereinfachen. DOLLAR A Erfindungsgemäß wird insbesondere bei kundenseitig durchzuführenden Geräte-Programmplatzbelegungen pro Fernsehkanal jeweils selbsttätig eine Anpassung an einen angestrebten Videofrequenzgang durchgeführt durch eine entsprechende Verschiebung des Bildträgers relativ zur ZF-Gesamtdurchlaßkurve. Die jeweilige Anpassung für den betreffenden Fernsehkanal des Gerätes erfolgt im Prinzip durch Addition eines entsprechenden Korrekturwertes (U¶korrig.¶) zu der entsprechenden Kanal-Abstimmspannung (U¶abst.¶) des Tuners (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for instrument, bone segment, tissue and organ navigation. The general problem covered by the invention relates to referencing between a data set (that geometrically describes the spatial model of a body) and the real physical environment in which said body is located. For referencing, a three-dimensional position reference body is used or placed in the real body, said position reference body consisting of one or more elementary bodies (markers) that can be spatially and sensorially detected and defining a fixed geometric reference with respect to the center of gravity of the body or the other reference volumes of the body. A correlation of the position reference body or its elementary body is performed in the data model and in the physical world for registration.

Inventor: MURAO KAZUSHIGE
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2000-11-08
Abstract: A vehicle air conditioner includes a variable
displacement compressor (10) forming a part of a coolant
circuit, detectors (80-83) for detecting external information
necessary for air conditioning, and a controller (79). The
compressor (10) has pistons (35) and mechanism for actuating
the pistons (35) to draw, compress and discharge refrigerant.
The piston actuating mechanism is located in a crank chamber
(15). The pressure in the crank chamber (15) is changed to
vary the compressor displacement. The controller (79)
controls the compressor (10) based on the information from
the detectors (80-83). When disengaging an electromagnetic
clutch (23), which is located between a vehicle engine (Eg)
and the compressor (10), the controller (79) quickly
decreases the compressor displacement and prevents the
pressure difference between the crank chamber (15) and
compression chambers (33a) excessively increased. Therefore,
immediately after being stopped, the compressor (10) is
started at the minimum displacement, which minimizes the
shock due to load torque change on the engine (Eg). Also,
the electromagnetic clutch (23) is prevented from
malfunctioning.

Inventor: HASSETT JAMES A
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: A process for preventing atrial premature contractions originating within a pulmonary vein from being conducted into the left atrium of a human heart. More specifically, an ablation lesion is formed which electrically isolates the located source of the atrial premature contraction in the pulmonary vein from connection with the left atrium and blocks passage of the atrial premature contraction originating from the located source. In one embodiment, the steps of the process include advancing a medical device into the left atrium of a human heart, introducing the advanced medical device into the pulmonary vein from the left atrium of a human heart, sensing electrical activity within the pulmonary vein using the introduced medical device, locating a source of the atrial premature contraction within the pulmonary vein using the sensed electrical activity, and forming an ablation lesion in tissue of the pulmonary vein at a location proximal from the located source of the atrial premature contraction within the pulmonary vein. Conductive media and various medical devices may be used with the process.

Abstract: A system for capturing an electronic message is disclosed. The system includes a printer, a sensing device and a computer system. The printer prints on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. Each coded tag encodes an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate. The user information defines a message area on the substrate. The sensing device senses the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate. The computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to the message area, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the movement relative to the message area and the message.
