Abstract: Method of adjusting a vehicle sensor for determining the distance or spacing of the vehicle from an object and the direction of objects relative to the vehicle requires extremely precise adjustment of the measurement device, thus requiring that the adjustment takes place in a garage or workshop, when the vehicle must be kept while the work is being carried out. To avoid the problem of rendering the vehicle unusable, the adjustment can be carried out continually during vehicle travel by using spacing (distance) and directional angle sensors and by employing timed tracking of the objects and calculating the direction vectors, from which is calculated the relative position of the roadway to the vehicle and from this is determined the measured direction of travel, the latter being continually calculated via yaw-rate sensors and the vehicle speed.

Abstract: An encoder to encode video streams representing a moving picture is provided whose
video encoder calculates a bit storage quantity an STD video buffer should have when input of
a stream ending with a first picture to the STD video buffer ends, calculates an initial bit storage
quantity of a second picture of a stream concatenated to the end of the first picture and starting
with the second picture, in a VBV buffer, based on the calculated bit storage quantity of the STD
buffer, and encodes the stream based on the bit storage quantity. The video encoder further
calculates a bit storage quantity of the STD video buffer, for decoding a picture of the stream in
the STD video buffer, calculates, based on the calculated bit storage quantity, a bit storage
quantity the VBV buffer should have for ending decoding of a fourth picture of a second stream
concatenated to the beginning of a third picture and ending with the fourth picture, and encodes
the stream based on the calculated bit storage quantity. With such encoding, a part of video
streams can be re-coded without referencing to information indicative of an initial status of a
video buffer when editing the video streams.

Abstract: A fuel vapour purging method controls fuel vapour
purging during stratified operation. Several factors
influence vapour purge control, including fuel vapour
concentration in the cylinder and temperature of the
emission control device. The fuel vapour passes through the
cylinder unburned by maintaining the concentration within
allowable limits. The unburned fuel vapour reacts
exothermically in the emission control device (70,72)
thereby generating heat. To guarantee that the fuel vapour
reacts in the first emission control device (70), the fuel
vapour purge is restricted to a certain temperature range.
To guarantee that the fuel vapour does not burn in the
cylinder, the concentration is kept to a restricted value.

Abstract: With a method of controlling synchronous drive of a
plurality of pressing machines, each of the pressing machines
has a motor, a drive shaft to which a torque of a flywheel driven
by the motor is transmitted through a clutch and a slide driven
by the drive shaft so that a rotational position of the drive
shaft of each of the pressing machines is synchronous each other.
The method has a step of detecting actual velocity information
of the motor and a step of detecting actual rotational-position
information of the drive shaft. The detected actual
rotational-position information is compared with the reference
rotational-position information from a reference rotational
position information generating section. Based on the result
of the comparison, the reference velocity information from a
reference velocity information generating section is
compensated into characteristic reference velocity
information of each of the pressing machines. The motor is
controllably driven based on the characteristic reference
velocity information and the actual velocity information.

Abstract: The present invention provides extended depth of field to human eyes by modifying contact lenses, intraocular implants, and/or the surface of the eye itself. This may be accomplished by applying selected phase variations to these optical elements (e.g., by varying surface thickness of the cornea of the eye). The phase variations EDF-code the wavefront and cause the optical transfer function to remain essentially constant within a range of distances from the in-focus position. This provides a coded image on the retina. The human brain decodes this coded image, resulting in an in-focus image over an increased depth of field.

"SYNC" included in an ATIP wobble signal supplied from an ATIP decoder, between the
optical disc having the first recording density and that having the second recording
density, reads, from the memory, controlling conditions corresponding to the result of the
