Abstract: A laterally releasable jaw of a safety ski binding for fastening one end of a ski boot 9 has a binding housing 11, in which a release spring 14 is arranged which extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the ski, is supported at one end on the binding housing 11 and with the other end applies a release force, having an essential component in the longitudinal direction of the ski, to a sole-holder 22, arranged towards the ski boot 9, in the direction away from the ski boot 9 in such a way that, if a predetermined lateral force exerted by the ski boot 9 is exceeded, the sole-holder 22 swivels out laterally about at least one essentially upright swivel axle and releases the ski boot 9. The release spring thereby exerts a force component directed downwards onto the sole-holder which is arranged on the binding housing 11 so as to be displaceable in height along an upright slide guide, with the result that the sole-holder 22 is pressed against the upper side of the ski boot sole 29. In this case, the slide guide 25, 26 has at least two portions 25', 26', 25'', 26'' which are inclined at such different angles to the line of action 27 of the force of the release spring that a centre of rotation M is formed which is arranged with spacing a above the line of action 27 of the force of the release spring.

Abstract: In a four-wheel steering system, the rear wheel turning mechanism (18) is connected to the front wheel turning mechanism (14) by way of a rear wheel turning angle ratio changing mechanism (20) which is mechanically connected to both the front wheel turning mechanism (14) and the rear wheel turning mechanism (18) and transmits the mechanical displacement input thereinto from the front wheel turning mechanism to the rear wheel turning mechanism to drive the same by an amount the ratio of which to the amount of mechanical displacement input into the rear wheel turning angle ratio changing mechanism gives a predetermined rear wheel turning angle ratio. The rear wheel turning angle ratio changing mechanism (20) is controlled in such a way that, when the front wheels are turned from the neutral position in a middle vehicle speed range, makes the rear wheel turning angle ratio negative for a moment immediately after initiation of turning of the front wheels and thereafter turns the same positive.

Abstract: The instruction unit for supplying instructions in parallel to n processor elements (PE) exhibits an instruction buffer memory (BPU) which can store at least n instructions. New instructions are only loaded into the instruction buffer memory, for example from a cache memory (CA), when the former contains fewer than n instructions or if there is space for an entire instruction word. The instructions contained in the instruction buffer memory (BPU) are allocated to the individual processor elements (PE) with the aid of an instruction transfer unit (BUE) and the instructions allocated to the processor element are identified with the aid of a selection signal. A predecoding stage (BDC) decodes the instructions supplied to the processor elements and thus enables a conflict checking stage (KFL) to determine whether the instructions to be processed in parallel by the processor elements require prior processing of other instructions. If this is so, conflict signals are generated which are supplied to a control signal stage. This generates from the selection signals and the conflict signals control signals for the processor elements (PE) which inform the latter whether instructions (BEF) are available for transfer at the processor elements or whether, because of a conflict signal, an instruction present can be executed or not yet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high-speed cycle interpolator is provided that accepts an analog representation of an angular or linear displacement within a reticle modulation cycle of a rotatable or translatable member, and provides a highly accurate output digital representation of the displacement within the cycle, even during rapid movement of the member. An encoder cooperative with the interpolator receives an analog signal that represents the displacement, and yields a pair of quadrature-phased sine wave signals accordingly. These signals are provided to the interpolator, wherein each is multiplied by a stored digital representation of a trigonometric function of the output digital signal. The resulting products are then added so as to provide an error signal which is used to drive a digital control loop, such that a digital output signal is provided that represents displacement within a reticle cycle. The control loop includes an up-down counter, and an asynchronous count generator operative to receive the error signal and drive the counter promptly thereafter. Within the asynchronous count generator, no clock signal is employed. Instead, an asynchronous digital circuit promptly provides a count pulse to an appropriate input of the up-down counter, the output providing an accurate digitized representation of the displacement within a reticle cycle of the member. The counter output is also fed back to be multiplied by the quadrature-phased signals.

Abstract: In order to effectively determine an assigned control channel in a cellular mobile communications system wherein there are no dedicated control channels, a mobile unit, before entering into a standby mode, scans a plurality of channels for determining an assigned control channel which is specified by the presence of a frequency shift keying subcarrier component therein. The mobile unit selects one of the plurality of channels assigned to the system, and detects a signal strength of the selected channel and also detects the frequency shift keying subcarrier. Subsequently, the mobile unit compares the signal strength of the selected channel with a reference level. If the signal strength is below said reference level the absence of an assigned control channel is indicated. In this case, the mobile unit scans another channel. On the other hand, if the signal strength exceeds said reference level and simultaneously the frequency shift keying component is detected, the presence of an assigned control channel is indicated and the mobile unit terminates the channel scanning.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for converting font outlines to rasterized bit maps. The method accesses stored outline data representing the object in a first coordinate space and transforms the outline data to corresponding data representing the object in a second coordinate space, maintaining regional relationship information in both coordinate spaces, through a non-linear transformation expressed as a plurality of linear transformation matrices, to generate a bit map suitable for displaying the object. 
     The present invention includes an apparatus to analyze Bezier curves and subdivide them as necessary until each portion is sufficiently flat to be approximated as a straight line, and then to calculate where line segments cross pixel midlines in order to fill the outline and generate the bit map. 
     From another perspective, the method takes an outline of an object in a first coordinate space, scales the outline to a second coordinate space, identifies the coordinates of one or more select points in the second coordinate space and compares those coordinates with desired coordinates in the second coordinate space, calculates the difference in device space for the desired versus the actual coordinate in the second coordinate space, derives a plurality of piecewise linear transformation matrices to approximate a non-linear transformation, applies an appropriate linear transformation matrix to map essentially any point on the outline in the first coordinate space to corresponding coordinates in the second coordinate space, and fills and stores the outline of the object in a form suitable for display on a raster device.

Abstract: A neural network based optical character recognition technique is presented for identifying characters (20) in a moving web (10). Image acquisition means (38) defines an imaging window through which the moving web passes such that the characters printed thereon can be imaged. Classification data is extracted and accumulated for each printed web character passing through the imaging window. A light source (50) provides transmissive illumination of the web as it is being imaged. A neural network accelerator (70) is coupled to the image acquisition means for intelligent processing of the accumulated classification data to produce therefrom printed character classification information indicative of each corresponding character imaged. A processor (62) is coupled to the accelerator for converting the classification information into the appropriate ASCII character code. The technique is particularly useful for reading dot-matrix-type characters on a noisy, semi-transparent background at fast real-time rates. A neural network algorithm based recognition method is also described.
