Patent EP-1707455-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAO MASATO
IPC: B60R22/44
Filed: 2006-03-01
Abstract: In order to provide effective technology to increase reliability relevant to power transmission releasing operation for a power transmission mechanism, the seatbelt retractor has a configuration for switching the states between a power transmitting state for transmitting a power of an electric motor to a spool via a clutch-type power transmission mechanism and a power transmission released-state in which the power transmitting state is released, by rotating the electric motor. The seatbelt retractor 1 of the seatbelt apparatus mounted on the motor vehicle is configured such that when the power transmission releasing operation is performed, the power transmitting state is judged on the basis of the motor load information of the motor 32 detected by the motor-current detection meter 69, and the power transmission releasing operation is performed on the basis of the judged result( Fig. 2).

Abstract: In a structure for setting an audio signal outputted by an audio information processing part to a signal of a kind corresponding to the detected results of switches, when a plug having the length of a signal side contact longer than the standard of an RCA pin plug is connected to RCA pin jacks, the switches are respectively attached to positions to be operated by the signal side contact of the plug and not to be operated by the signal side contact of the RCA pin plug. When the operating states of the switches show that the plug is not connected to the RCA pin jacks, the audio signal outputted by the audio information processing part is set to a signal of a kind set by a user.

Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for simultaneously tracking multiple finger (202-204) and palm (206, 207) contacts as hands approach, touch, and slide across a proximity-sensing, compliant, and flexible multi-touch surface (2). The surface consists of compressible cushion (32), dielectric electrode (33), and circuitry layers. A simple proximity transduction circuit is placed under each electrode to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio and to reduce wiring complexity. Scanning and signal off-set removal on electrode array produces low-noise proximity images. Segmentation processing of each proximity image constructs a group of electrodes corresponding to each distinguishable contacts and extracts shape, position and surface proximity features for each group. Groups in successive images which correspond to the same hand contact are linked by a persistent path tracker (245) which also detects individual contact touchdown and liftoff. Classification of intuitive hand configurations and motions enables unprecedented integration of typing, resting, pointing, scrolling, 3D manipulation, and handwriting into a versatile, ergonomic computer input device.

Abstract: A ribbon identification system detects a digitally encoded tract comprised of radially printed bands of dark and light areas (106,108) positioned on a ribbon spool (102) that fits on a media printing device. Each type and length of ribbon to be used is associated with a specific and unique digitally encoded tract. When the ribbon spool is positioned correctly on the printing device, the digitally encoded tract is detected, and the control program of the printing device sets the parameters associated with that ribbon automatically ensuring proper printing. Through the digitally encoded tract, the ribbon spool is uniquely identified so that once it has been determined by the printing device's control program that the ribbon has been depleted, that ribbon spool, if reinstalled on the same printing device at a later time, will be recognized as a depleted ribbon, and the printing device will not function.
