IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité de rétroéclairage comprenant une lampe fluorescente destinée à éclairer un panneau à cristaux liquides, une unité de réflexion servant à produire en sortie une lumière en provenance de la lampe fluorescente dans un sens spécifique, ainsi qu'une unité de diffusion servant à diffuser une lumière en provenance de la lampe fluorescente et de l'unité de réflexion. Une réflectance ou une transmittance dans le sens horizontal ou vertical est régulée par application d'un réseau de points sur l'unité de réflexion ou l'unité de diffusion, la densité de ce réseau augmentant progressivement depuis la partie centrale jusqu'à la partie périphérique de l'unité en question. La transmittance peut également être régulée par application d'un réseau de points sur la surface du tube fluorescent de la lampe fluorescente, la densité de ce réseau augmentant progressivement depuis la partie centrale longitudinale jusqu'aux extrémités opposées du tube. Par conséquent, des gradients de luminosité sont formés dans les sens horizontal et vertical de sorte que la luminosité du panneau à cristaux liquides soit relativement supérieure au niveau de sa partie centrale par rapport à sa partie périphérique.

Title: Personalized behavior of computer controlled avatars in a virtual reality environment
Inventor: HERBRICH RALF
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2004-05-18
Abstract: Racing-based computer games typically include a mode in which one or more human players can compete against one or more computer-controlled opponents. For example, a human player may drive a virtual race car against a computer-controlled virtual race car purported to be driven by Mario Andretti or some other race car driver. Such computer controlled opponents may be enhanced by including a sampling of actual game behavior of a human subject into the opponent's artificial intelligence control system. Such a sampling can allow the game system to personalize the behavior of the computer control opponent to emulate the human subject.

Title: Diaphragm damper, and method and device for producing the same
Inventor: MATSUKI TAKUJI
IPC: B23K37/04
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: A method of producing a diaphragm damper (1) having a high-pressure chamber (3) in which each flange (6) of two diaphragms (2) are welded to each other and inside of which a high-pressure gas is sealed. Each diaphragm (2) is constructed from a magnetically adherable thin metallic steel plate, and the diaphragm (2) is magnetically held by a pair of jigs (30, 40) arranged in a pressure container (20) so as to face to each other. After the pressure container (20) is sealed and vacuumized, a mixture gas containing helium is charged in the pressure container (20) and the gas is pressurized. Then, the pair of the jigs (30, 40) is brought closer to each other to cause the flanges (6) of the pair of the diaphragms (2) to be in tight contact with each other. While the pair of the diaphragms (2) is rotated by simultaneously rotating the jigs (30, 40) in the pressure container (20), the flanges (6) of the diaphragms (2) are joined by full circumference welding by a laser beam irradiated on the flanges (6).
