Patent EP-0916991-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI SEIJI
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 1998-10-28
Abstract: An liquid crystal panel is provided which is suitable for a wide screen
and for driving by the transverse electric field. 
     The liquid crystal display is composed of an array substrate on which
TFTs are arranged as active switching elements in a matrix form and covered
with an orientation film. On the facing surface of the opposing substrate as
a color filter, a light shielding film, color layers of red, green, and blue are
arranged, and the area excluding the area covered by the light shielding layer
is turned into a display pixel area, and all of the surfaces of the opposing
subatrate are then covered with an orientation film. The cell gap g at the
display pixel area is formed so as to be larger than spacers in the cell, and cell
gaps of color layers overlapping the light shielding layer are made smaller
than spacers. The cell gaps of these overlapped layers hold spaces at an
compressed state with the array substrate. That is, the step configuration is
formed between the display pixel area of red, green, and blue color layers R2,
G2, and B2 and the overlapped colored layers with the light shielding layers
composed of R1, R2, and R3. Thereby, the liquid crystal molecules will not
be subjected to the anomalous orientation and the light leakage is
avoided. At the same time, an after-image characteristic to the IPS type a-Si
TFT liquid crystal panel can be eliminated by regulating the projection of
the color layers.

Abstract: A network system comprising terminals and relaying nodes
having a reservation message processing unit for transferring a packet
wherein a packet receiving terminal 3 requests a reservation of
network resources. The packet receiving terminal 3 transmits to a
packet transmitting terminal 1 a request message in which a
reservation request condition is stored in order to request a resource
reservation, the packet transmitting terminal 1 having received the
request message transmits to the relaying node 2 on the same route as
the packet an acknowledgement message in which the reservation
request condition is stored. Each relaying node 2 provides a resource
reservation for the home relaying node according to the reservation
request condition in the acknowledgement message and transfers the
acknowledgement message to the same route as the packet. After the
acknowledgement message has passed through all the relaying node 2,
and when the packet receiving terminal has received the
acknowledgement message, a network resource reservation procedure
is completed.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods and apparatus for simulating the transmission of sound from sound sources to the ear canals of a listener, said sound sources being positioned arbitrarily in three dimensions in relation to the listener. In particular, the invention relates to new and improved methods for measurement of Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved methods for processing Head-related Transfer Functions, and new methods of changing, or of maintaining, the directions of the sound sources as perceived by a listener. The measurement method have been improved so that it is now possible to measure and/or construct Head-related Transfer Functions for which the time domain descriptions are surprisingly short and for which the differences from one individual to the other are surprisingly low.The new Head-related Transfer Functions can be exploited in any application concerning simulation of sound transmission, e.g. auralization of concert halls, measurement, simulation, or reproduction of sound, such as in binaural synthesis, e.g. for generation, by means of two sound sources, such as by headphones or by two loudspeakers, the perception of a listener that he is listening to sound generated by a multichannel sound system, such as a surround system, a quadraphonic system, a stereophonic system, etc, in the design of electronic filters used in, e.g. virtual reality systems, to simulate sound transmission from a virtual sound source to the ear canals of the listener, or, in the design of an artificial head that is designed so that its Head-related Transfer Functions approximate the Head-related Transfer Functions of the invention as closely as possible in order to make the best possible representation of humans by the artificial head, e.g. to make artificial head recordings of optimum quality.

Abstract: An apparatus and method which overcomes connectivity limitations on PCMCIA and
PC-CARD95 compatible devices by reconfiguring standard PCMCIA and PC-CARD pins
for additional electrical interfaces. A detection circuit in the PC-card can detect the different
interfaces. Once the different interfaces are identified, the connections to the receptacles of
the PC-card connector are reconfigured such that the functional assignments of the receptacles
conform with the requirements of each different interface. Thus, connection between
different electrical interfaces to the physical interface of a PCMCIA-compatible device,
without interference between them is possible. This eliminates the need for extra connectors
other than the standard PCMCIA and PC-CARD95 connector. Thus, more versatile
products with enhanced connectivity may be designed which use the PCMCIA and
PC-CARD95 standards.

Filed: 1998-02-23
Abstract: A bidirectional transistor switch for large signal voltages comprises a first (T1) and a second (T2) transistor arranged in series, which are supplied with base current under command of a control signal in order to short-circuit a signal terminal (ST) to a reference terminal (RT) which is connected to the substrate of the circuit. When the transistor switch is open large negative voltage excursions of the signal (U) on the signal terminal (ST) will fire a thyristor formed by the first transistor (T1) and a parasitic transistor (TP) and thus cause an undesired short-circuit between the signal terminal and the reference terminal (RT). This is prevented in that under these conditions the node (N) between the two transistors is short-circuited to the reference terminal (RT), as a result of which the loop gain in the thyristor becomes so small that this thyristor is no longer fired. The node (N) is short-circuited with the second transistor (T2) or a separate MOS transistor, which is controlled by a comparator (A1), which compares the signal (U) with a threshold value (UR1).

Abstract: Subject of this invention is a process for the chemical synthesis of polynucleotides having totally or partially random sequences, based on the utilization, as synthesis monomer units for the random sequence part, or presynthesized mononucleotides and dinucleotides. Said synthesis is carried out on separate supports, so that on each of those supports is alternated at least one reaction cycle wherein a mixture of said dinucleotides is bound, with at least one reaction cycle wherein a mononucleotide is bound, and that in a preferred embodiment at the end of the n cycles required for a codon synthesis, the supports are mixed and then redivided into one or more reaction containers. The resulting polynucleotides are such that, for the random sequence part, each trinucleotide unit is fit to match only a limited number of codons, predefined for each unity in number and sequence, and the genetic code degeneracy effects can thus be eliminated. FIG. 1 shows the chemical structure of the dinucleotides utilized as monomer units for the synthesis of codons forming the final sequence.

Abstract: Ce processeur comprend une unité de calcul d'adresses/de résultats d'anticipation, qui est configurée pour recevoir des informations d'opérande (soit l'opérande lui-même ou un repère identifiant l'instruction qui va produire la valeur d'opérande) correspondant aux opérandes sources d'une ou plusieurs instructions. Si les opérandes sont disponibles, l'unité de calcul d'adresses/de résultats d'anticipation peut générer soit une adresse d'anticipation pour un opérande mémoire de l'instruction soit un résultat d'anticipation correspondant à une opération fonctionnelle de l'instruction. L'adresse d'anticipation peut être fournie à une unité de chargement/stockage en vue de l'initialisation précoce d'une opération mémoire correspondant à l'instruction en question. Le résultat de l'anticipation peut être fourni à une source d'opérande spéculative (par exemple un futur fichier) en vue de sa mise à jour. Un état d'anticipation pour un registre peut par conséquent être obtenu à un stade précoce dans le pipeline. Des instructions ultérieures peuvent recevoir l'état d'anticipation et utiliser cet état d'anticipation pour générer un état d'anticipation additionnel à un stade précoce. Par ailleurs, les instructions ultérieures peuvent recevoir l'état d'anticipation et elles peuvent par conséquent être préparées en vue de leur exécution lors de leur répartition dans une fenêtre d'instruction (plutôt que d'attendre dans la fenêtre d'instruction jusqu'à l'exécution de l'instruction antérieure). Dans un mode de réalisation, ce processeur comprend également une unité de réduction d'opérande configurée pour réduire les résultats de l'anticipation en instructions ultérieures simultanément décodées (dépendances intralignes). En outre, l'unité de réduction d'opérande peut être configurée pour réduire une instruction de comparaison en une instruction de ramification ultérieure qui dépend du résultat de la comparaison.

Abstract: The method involves using filters, time blurring (low-pass filtering), level and frequency adjustment. The audio test signal is compared with a reference signal. Both signals or signal pairs are prefiltered and then separated by a filter bank (3) into frequency ranges. The filter bank characteristics and a subsequent time blurring of the filter output signals are used to produce an perceptual representation of the test signal for evaluation. By comparing the audible representations of the test signal and the reference signal after nonlinear conversion, an estimate of the hearing impression is made.

Abstract: The invention relates to dust/particle monitors, and particularly but not necessarily
exclusively to a method of monitoring fine particles harmful to humans in working environments.
Equipment and methods of detection are known but which have several disadvantages such
as no instantaneous warnings of excessive exposure, bulky sampling equipment, prone to
errors due to poor handling of particles, and fluctuating flow rates of air borne particles. The
object of the invention is to provide a method and equipment that avoids those disadvantages
mentioned above, an objective met by a method of monitoring dust/particulate material
concentrations in air, comprising drawing air through a monitor at a predetermined rate to
enable particles to pass through a measurement section one at a time, whereby they may be
individually detected and counted. An optical detection and counting system may be employed,
but preferably an electrode is located in the measurement section on which an individual
particle induces a pulse of charge, and there being a means of counting the number of pulses
of charge induced on the electrode in unit time, from which the concentration of dust particles
in the air in the vicinity of the monitor can readily be derived.

performed in an oxygen-lean environment, the tyres undergo a process of
autopyrolysis, at an average operating temperature of about 150°C, resulting in
the formation of hydrocarbons and with a limitation of pollutants that are
eliminated in the final filtering unit (100). A separate lower circuit (41, 43) allows
for the possibility of controlling a uniformly distributed admission of ambient air
over the base of the reaction tower.
