Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Betriebsüberwachung einer Photovoltaik-Anlage
mit einer Anzahl von Photovoltaik-Elementen und zumindest einem
Wechselrichter zur Umwandlung des von den Photovoltaik-Elementen erzeugten
Gleichstroms in einen Wechselstrom. Die an den Photovoltaik-Elementen angelegte
Gleichspannung ist durch den Wechselrichter veränderbar, und unterschiedlichen
Spannungswerten entsprechende Werte des Gleichstroms können
vom Wechselrichter gemessen und gespeichert werden. Erfindungsgemäß wird
in einem Meß-Schritt eine Strom-Spannungs-Kennlinie gemessen, indem die
Gleichspannung über einen Spannungsbereich hinweg verändert wird, der dem
Betriebsbereich der Photovoltaik-Anlage entspricht, während der Verlauf des
Gleichstroms in Abhängigkeit von der Gleichspannung gemessen und gespeichert
wird, und in einem nachfolgenden Analyse-Schritt wird die gemessene
Kennlinie mit einer gespeicherten Soll-Kennlinie verglichen.

Abstract: The position of a body part area for a personal image in an input image is detected. According to the position of the detected body part area, the position of the origin of a coordinate system for an ornament is defined. Based on the position of the defined origin, an ornament-arranged input image is outputted. When the personal image moves in the input image, the ornament also moves following the movement of the personal image. Even when both personal image and ornament move, the ornament can be made not to interfere with the personal image. Therefore, the personal image can be clearly displayed. Moreover, the input image can be made look more interesting by synchronizing the movement of the ornament with the movement of the personal image.

Abstract: A continuous stream ink jet printhead (2) includes an ink droplet
forming mechanism (4) operable to selectively create a stream of ink droplets
having a plurality of volumes and a droplet deflector (40) having a gas source
(42). The gas source is operable to interact with the stream of ink droplets thereby
separating ink droplets having one of the plurality of volumes from ink droplets
having another of the plurality of volumes. A sensor (12) senses ambient pressure
transients and is coupled to a controller which adjusts the gas flow, through a
pressure compensation mechanism, to compensate for pressure transients.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to allow a user
to perform operations while he or she is unconscious of
the types of interfaces of various image input devices
on a network. 
     An image input server device on a network is
searched for, device control information of an image
input device locally connected to the found image input
server is obtained from the server, and virtual device
information based on a universal image in-out interface
is generated from the obtained device control
information. An image reading session is executed in
collaboration with the image input server device by
using the virtual device information and information of
communication with the image input server device. 
     An image input server device to which an image
input device is locally connected receives a session
request from a client on a network and determines the
type of requesting client from the session request. 
     Different image reading sessions are executed when
the determination result indicates that the requesting
client is a dedicated client and that the requesting
client is a universal client.

Abstract: Initialization processes of link layers in a data
transmission system are started after initialization processes
of respective physical layers are completed. Thus, at the time
of initialization of the link layers, the respective physical
layers can perform communication with each other. As a result,
in the data transmission system in which electrical communication
is performed, an initialization program (an API which is supplied
assuming that physical layers requiring no initialization process
are used) designed assuming that physical layers are in a state
where they can perform communication during an initialization
period of link layers can be used while satisfying the above
assumption.

Abstract: Encoding a sequence of digital speech samples into a bit stream includes dividing the digital speech samples into one or more frames, computing model parameters for a frame, and quantizing the model parameters to produce pitch bits conveying pitch information, voicing bits conveying voicing information, and gain bits conveying signal level information. One or more of the pitch bits are combined with one or more of the voicing bits and one or more of the gain bits to create a first parameter codeword that is encoded with an error control code to produce a first FEC codeword that is included in a bit stream for the frame. The process may be reversed to decode the bit stream.

Abstract: During the transmission of data packets received on a wired connection via a first interface (30) (e.g. IEEE 1394 interface) via a second interface (37) designed for the wireless transmission of data, e.g. HIPERLAN/2 interface, the problem exists that between receiving the data and transmitting the data via the second interface (37) a relatively large delay time can arise which must be bridged by means of a suitably dimensioned buffer memory. 
     The invention provides means that enable the maximum delay time to be further reduced. For this purpose, according to the invention, the necessary processing of the received IEEE 1394 bus packets is already performed section by section immediately after a received data packet has arrived. After the complete number of bus packets falling within a transmission frame has been received, there is therefore no longer any lengthy processing time required and the probability of missing the time slots reserved in the next transmission frame is significantly reduced. The buffer memory for bridging the delay time period can therefore be correspondingly smaller.

A first cam (29) having cam gears(30, 30...) is externally provided at the anvil so as to be integral with the anvil(8). At the rear of the first cam(29), a second cam (31) having cam gears(32, 32...) and further having cam gears(36, 36...) at its outer circumference is externally provided to the anvil(8) so as to be rotatable. At the backward position of the anvil(8), the cam gears (30, 32) contacts with each other. On the other hand, in the cylindrical portion(27) of the hammer case(5), an engaging pin(37) capable of engaging with an engaging gear(36) of the second cam(31) is provided. The engaging pin(37) can change its location by the rotative operation of a mode-change ring (40). That is, at the rotative position where a guide concave portion(41) at the inner circumference of the mode-change ring(40) does not correspond to the engaging pin(37), the engaging pin(37) moves inward to engage with the second cam(31) (a percussion mode). On the other hand, at the rotative position where a guide concave portion(41) aligned with the engaging pin(37), the engaging pin(37) moves outward to disengage from the engage gear(36) (a non-percussion mode).
