Patent EP-0330236-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAMEFUSA SHIGERU
IPC: G07C1/30
Filed: 1989-02-24
Abstract: A prepaid charge counting apparatus (10) to be employed, for example, in a particular parking system in which the parking period of time is limited. In such a case, the driver has to purchase the apparatus in advance such that a count corresponding to the prepaid amount is assigned to the apparatus. 
     When parking a car in the parking place, the user first operates the ON/OFF operation unit (12) to initiate the respective sections of the apparatus (10), and then the remaining amount of the count and the consumption state of the time are appropriately displayed on the display (11). 
     This apparatus (10) is placed at a position in a car visible from the outside thereof such that the time measuring unit (41) continuously measures the consumed period of time and that the arithmetic unit (42) converts the measurement result of the time measuring section (41) into a count so as to compute the remaining amount of the count. The control unit (43) updates the display contents on the display section (11) based on the measurement result of the time measuring section (41) and the computation result of the arithmetic unit (42). 
     The manager of the parking place monitors the display contents to appropriately check the consumption state of the time. In consequence, in order to construct a prepayment system in the parking place, when the apparatus is employed, the inventment for the special   facility and the management cost can be unnecessitated. Furthermore, the user is relieved from the annoying operation of the prepayment of the parking charge for each parking operation.

Abstract: In order to displace a top frame (8), on which e.g. a container (15) is resting, on a road trailer chassis (1) which is longer than the top frame (8), said top frame is provided with guard plates (14) over the wheels (7) of the road trailer, so that by lowering the top frame and thus the guard plates to a position where they rest on the upper periphery of the wheels (7), the top frame and the container may be displaced relative to the road trailer. 
     This will happen when the road trailer (1) is being moved on the traffic lane whereby the top frame (8) will be displaced forward when the road trailer is moved forward, and backward when the road trailer is moved backward. 
     Thus, the kind of problems caused by wire tension or roll pinion under the top frame, such as operational problems due to high friction, will be avoided, and the demands on dimensioning and energy consumption will be heavier than those directed to the pinion according to the invention.

Abstract: This invention provides a sorting method and apparatus, in which identification codes and numeric information to be sorted assigned to these identification codes are entered. When there are a plurality of identification codes having equal numeric information, a first one of these identification codes is written in a first memory at an address corresponding to the numeric information. Next, if there is an identification code from a second identification code onward having numeric information equal to the abovementioned numeric information, this identification code is written in a second memory at an address corresponding to the previously entered identification code. The identification codes thus stored are read out in the order of the addresses of the first memory. When the first identification code has been stored at an address of the first memory, identification codes from the second onward having numeric information the same as that of this identification code are read out of the second memory, with the stored identification code serving as a read starting address of the second memory and the identification code read from the read starting address serving as the next read address.

Abstract: A ski boot safety binding has a basic body (13) which is arranged on a swivel cam (15) so that it can swivel about a vertical axis (11) and which consists of two partial bodies which are prestressed resiliently towards one another in the direction of their longitudinal axis (14), can be pressed apart counter to the spring force along the longitudinal axis (14), and are supported from opposite sides on the swivel cam (15), which is fixed to the ski, in such a way that the partial bodies (13', 13") are increasingly resiliently pressed apart when the basic body (13) is rotated out of the normal position. Furthermore, pairs of retaining cams (16)/connecting members (17) are arranged on the partial bodies (13', 13") or the ski boot (18) so that safety release takes place both in forward and backward falls as well as in the case of excessive torsional loads. The ski boot (18) is retained on the basic body (13) against lateral displacements by fixed lateral stops (19, 20). At least some of the retaining cams (16) and/or connecting members (17) can be disengaged from the assigned connecting member (17) or retaining cam (16) respectively by lateral displacement counter to a spring force (61) which can be overcome relatively easily by means of a manual actuating lever (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The hollow cylinder 2 has an inner body 3 whose part-cylinder surface 12, which is arranged centrally with respect to the hollow cylinder 2 and made with a smaller radius than the inner radius of the latter, forms a sickle-shaped space in which a vacuum is generated upon rotation of the hollow cylinder 2. Air is thereby extracted through the bores 11 of the hollow cylinder from the region in which a web encompasses the hollow cylinder 2. This results in a firmer adhesion of the web on the hollow cylinder 2.

Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a three-dimensional graphics processing apparatus which can execute hidden-surface processing, smooth shading processing and anti-aliasing processing. The conven­tional hidden-surface processing device can only provide pixel information such as luminance data, and so cannot execute any processing requiring error data at polygon boundaries, such as anti-aliasing processing. The conventional anti-aliasing method must deal with many cases because the processing is made for each pixel, execute complicated calculation if the boundary line extends over several pixels, and may not able to process the display with decimals omitted. The hidden-surface processing device according to the present invention is provided with an error register (15) which can hold error data at polygon boundaries and its output means thereby to provide the error data at the polygon boundaries. The anti-aliasing method according to the present invention can replace the information on two successive pixels at polygon boundaries by its area average on two successive pixels on one scan line and output the replaced information, which is very efficient for real-time processing.

Abstract: A method of reducing horizontally propagating pressure waves in marine seismic exploration to improve the signal-to-noise ratio at associated receivers and reduce interference at unassociated receivers, comprises providing marine vibrators (12,14,16,18) in an array with a given separation between each vibrator, so that horizontally propagating pressure waves from the vibrators which generally traverse the array are out-of-phase at most frequencies of vibration. The amplitude output from each vibrator varies with the output frequency of each vibrator to maximise the cancellation of out-of-phase pressure waves along the array. A receiver, which usually includes a plurality of hydrophones (34,36,38) disposed in a streamer (20), is spaced from the marine vibrators at a distance sufficient to establish the receiver as being in the far-­field. The output of each of the marine vibrators is locked in phase and frequency with a known pilot signal so that downwardly propagating pressure waves are substantially unaffected. The overall effect is a narrowing of the radiation pattern of the pressure waves. The resulting radiation pattern effectively directs pressure waves downwardly toward an underwater land formation; and reduces horizontally propagating pressure waves which normally result in interference with marine seismic receivers.
