Patent EP-0464908-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EDWARDS MARTIN JOHN
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1991-06-20
Abstract: A touch sensor array system includes a row and column array of individual sensing elements (12) each of which comprises a bistable circuit (14) arranged to adopt one of the other of its two stable state in dependence upon whether or not a touch input, by e.g. a stylus or finger, exists at the sensing element location. The rows of sensing elements are periodically reset in sequence by a scanning address circuit (40) and the states of their bistable circuits are determined at regular intervals related to resetting by a detection circuit (41) using active matrix addressing of the sensing elements with each sensing element (12) to this end including a switching device (16). The array of sensing elements is fabricated using thin film, e.g. TFT, technology so that high resolution is possible. The system can be used as an overlay to a display device, e.g. a matrix liquid crystal display device.

Abstract: It is desirable to provide remote digital protection of distribution transformers. A protection system is disclosed which is able to detect increases in transient D.C. current flowing in the respective phases of a distribution cable (10) feeding a transformer and also to detect increases in other selected functions of supply parameters for identifying and quantifying a fault current flowing in the distribution cable (10). Increases in these other functions are analysed to identify whether the increases indicate a fault current. Any such fault current can then be quantified and the triggering of a circuit breaker (19) initiated to isolate the supply cable on identifying a fault current. The circuit breaker (19) is not triggered for any increases in the other functions for as long as there is a detected increase in D.C. current in any phase.

Abstract: A motion vector detection apparatus comprises a delay circuit for receiving first picture data and for outputting a particular detection range of picture data, a block comparison circuit for receiving both second picture data with a particular the difference from the first picture data and picture data from the delay circuit and for detecting a difference between picture data from the delay circuit and second picture data for each block of P x Q picture elements, and a determination circuit for determining a degree of matching of a picture of an output signal from the block comparison circuit.

IPC: H01L21/66

Abstract: If an electro-optical crystal (PK) is arranged immediately above a charged sample (PR), the stray electric field (SF) emanating from the sample (PR) can penetrate into the crystal (PK) and induce birefringence in the latter. The sample potential ( phi (x)) can therefore be determined by measuring the polarisation of a laser probe (LA) passing through the crystal (PK) in the area of the stray field. However, the output signal (I(x)) of the detector unit (P2, DT) used for measuring the polarisation is highly noisy. It is therefore proposed to impart high-frequency oscillations on a glass carrier (TR) connected to the crystal (PK) and thus periodically to change the distance of the crystal (PK) from the sample (PR). As a result, the output signal (I(x)) of the detector unit (P2, DT) also has a high-frequency component, the amplitude (U) of which can be measured and recorded with low noise. <IMAGE>
