Patent EP-0564352-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOSHINO MITSUO C O SONY CORPOR
IPC: G02B7/10
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: The device has a feed screw (3) coupled to a stepping motor (2) and a moving member (4) is provided along the feed screw (3). The moving member (4) includes a rack (7) that is meshed with the feed screw (3). The moving member (4) has a lens supporting member (9) secured to its lower end, and a light emitting element (13) and a slit (4), are fixed to the lens supporting member (9). A semiconductor position detecting element (15) is secured within a lens housing in association with the slit (14). If the position of a lens (L) is fluctuated by a shock or the like when or after an image is properly focused, the distance in which a light passed through the slit (14) from the light emitting element (13) is moved on the semiconductor position detecting element (15) is electrically converted to drive the motor (2), and the lens (L) is thereby recovered to the properly-focused position. The number of teeth of the feed screw in which the teeth are skipped when the rack is disengaged is determined precisely. Then, the lens is moved by the distance corresponding to the fluctuated amount and is returned to the properly-focused position.

Abstract: The device comprises an interrogation unit and a passive transponder, the one associated with the vehicle and the other with the track. The interrogation unit (10) has on the one hand a low-frequency transmitter (26) and a middle-frequency transmitter (16) operating continuously, having respective antennas transmitting to an area specified in relation to the antennas and through which the transponder crosses during the motion, and on the other hand an element responsive to the characteristics of the transponder when the latter is inside the area. The transponder comprises a circuit for receiving the low-frequency signal provided for controlling a middle-frequency circuit. The LF and MF circuits have respective tuned radiating circuits associated in such a way that the low-frequency signal induced in the low-frequency circuit causes the short-circuiting of the middle-frequency resonant circuit of the transponder, in tempo with the low frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of executing image processing operations such as object recognition or linear/non-linear filtration on a two-dimensional image. This is performed with light-sensitive sensor elements (4) executed in two-dimensional matrix form. The sensor elements (4) are so arranged as to produce an output signal corresponding to the light intensity. The output signal of each sensor element is compared with a monotone increasing or reducing reference value. The extent to which the output signal from the sensor element is greater than or less than the reference value is continuously monitored for each sensor element. An arrangement for the execution of this method comprises a number of sensor elements (4) arranged on a substrate. Each of these has allocated to it on the substrate a comparator (5) so arranged as to compare the output signal of the sensor element with a pre-adjustable reference value and a sub-processor. Each sub-processor (8) is so arranged as to identify the occurrence of combinations of sensor elements (4) for which the output signal has exceeded or has not exceeded the aforementioned reference value.

Abstract: An acceleration sensor having a novel structure by which acceleration measurement of high precision and reliability can be implemented. A monocrystalline silicon substrate (1) is joined to a monocrystalline silicon substrate (8) through an SiO₂ film (9). The monocrystalline silicon substrate (1) is a thin film. A cantilever (13) is formed on the monocrystalline silicon substrate (1). The thickness of the cantilever (13) in the direction parallel to the surface is smaller than that in the depth direction of the monocrystalline silicon substrate (1). The cantilever is movable in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate. The surface of the cantilever (13) and the surface of the monocrystalline silicon substrate (1) which faces the cantilever (13) are covered with an SiO₂ film (5) in order to prevent the electrodes of the capacitance type acceleration sensor from being short-circuited. A signal processing circuit (10) is formed on the monocrystalline silicon substrate (1) to process signals produced by the movement of the cantilever (13).

Abstract: A coin-deposite lock to be placed on a trolley being part of a row of mutually connected e.g. shopping trolleys or baggage trolleys comprises a main slide (14) being longitudinally slidable against the force from a spring (16) and a measuring slide (20) likewise longitudinally slidable against the force from a second spring (22). Each of the slides (14, 20) has a transverse central aperture (26, 24), and when a coin (C) of a certain value (diameter) has been inserted between the slides, the apertures (24, 26) are mutually aligned. Upon insertion of a key (8) belonging to the lock in a first key opening (6) in the lock, the slides (14, 20) can be moved to a position (Figure 2), in which a latching finger (36) on a pivotable release member (34) engages in the mutually aligned apertures (24, 26) and retains the slides (14, 20) and the coin (C) between them in a withdrawn position. At the same time, the release member (34) pivots to a position, in which a second latching finger (38) on it frees a second key (12) associated with a previous trolley in the row thus freeing the trolley from the row.

Abstract: A metal halide lamp includes a quartz sealed tube having a pair of electrodes using tungsten as the base material. Argon gas, mercury, at least one kind of rare earth metal (e.g., dysprosium, holmium, thulium, neodymium, and erbium), bromine, iodine, and an alkali metal, e.g., cesium, are contained in the sealed tube. The total number of moles of bromine and iodine in the sealed tube is in excess of the number of moles of the rare earth metal. Accordingly, tungsten which is liberated from the electrode during electric discharge can be captured mainly by iodine. A reaction between silicon dioxide, which is a constituent component of the sealed tube, and tungsten is prevented, thereby preventing blackening of the tube wall of the sealed tube.

Abstract: Apparatus for variably converting a DC voltage to a different DC voltage level comprises a multi-resonant electronic power converter (50) with a wide output voltage dynamic range. The power conversion is accomplished by converting (in 20) the DC voltage (1) to an AC signal, adjusting or attenuating (in 30) the AC signal to the desired amplitude, and then converting (in 40) the AC signal back to a DC voltage. The output voltage may be adjusted (by 10) by altering the frequency of the AC signal also known as the switching frequency. A wide dynamic range is achieved at a narrow switching frequency bandwidth by inserting either a fourth or higher order low pass filter (30) or a notch filter at the output of the switching transistor (in 20). The high roll-off rate exhibited by either filter provides a relatively high dynamic range in a narrow frequency range.
