Patent EP-1510836-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BANEY DOUGLAS M
IPC: G01S17/48
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: Utilizing frequency-dependent diffraction (also referred to as dispersion) to determine the angular position of a retro-reflective object (110) within a scanning space (130). The technique involves dispersing an electromagnetic beam into a scanning space (130) by frequency. If a retro-reflective object (110) is located within the scanning space (130), the object (110) will retro-reflect a portion of the dispersed beam having a frequency that is associated with the angular position of the retro-reflective object (110) within the scanning space (130). The frequency of the retro-reflected beam is used to determine the angular position of the retro-reflective object within the scanning space. When a second beam is dispersed into the scanning space (130) and a portion of the second beam is retro-reflected in the manner just described, a second angular position of the retro-reflective object can be found. Coordinates of the retro-reflective object (130) are determinable by triangulation using the two angular positions. These are absolute, as opposed to relative, coordinates.

IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 2004-09-18
Abstract: Because conditions for recording identification data in the BCA (burst code area) of a medium vary in accordance with the structure of different media, such as a single-layer or a multiple-layer structure, stable data recording has been a difficult task. 
     To solve this problem, the laser beam for recording identification data on the reflecting layer (11d) of a single-layer optical disk or a double-layer optical disk (6) is incident on the opposite side of a substrate (1) upon which user data is recorded. From this structure, even in a double-layer optical disk (6), the recording is not affected by the recording layer of a second layer (12b) and the like. Therefore, in the double-layer optical disk (6), identification data of the medium can be recorded under the same conditions as the single-layer optical disk (5).

Filed: 2004-11-09
Abstract: Zur Verminderung des Aufwandes bei der Herstellung geschäumter, plattenförmiger Formkörper aus Stärke und stärkehaltigen Material sowie zur Erweiterung der Anwendungsgebiete für derartige Erzeugnisse wird eine Vorrichtung verwendet, mit der kontinuierlich Formteile hergestellt werden können, deren Breite deutlich größer als die Höhe ist und die über den gesamten Querschnitt eine materialtypische homogene Schaumstruktur aufweisen. Der Vorrichtung wird das Material bereits vor Beginn des Prozesses zur Temperatur- und Druckerhöhung gleichmäßig über den Querschnitt des zu erzeugenden Formteils zugeführt. Die Vorrichtung ist konstruktiv so gestaltet, dass das Material in dieser nicht parallel zur Rotationsachse des Plastifizierelementes sondern radial von der Materialzuführöfmung zur Breitschlitzdüse (3) bewegt wird. Die Formteile entstehen durch Zerteilen eines kontinuierlich extrudierten Bandes, dessen Höhe durch das Schäumvermögen des verwendeten Materials und dessen Breite durch die konstruktive Gestaltung der Vorrichtung bestimmt wird. Durch zwangsweise Förderung des Materials können die Schaumstruktur, die Höhe des Extrudats und die Durchsatzleistung beeinflusst werden.

Abstract: A motor (6) connecting with an antivibration spring (7) is received in a motor housing (9). The antivibration spring (7) is constructed of a radial supporting portion (51) and a thrust supporting portion (52) that are integrally formed. The radial supporting portion (51) resiliently holds a radially side face portion of the motor (6) in the radial direction. The thrust supporting portion (52) resiliently holds an axially end face portion of the motor (6) in the axial direction. Vibration of the motor (6) in the radial direction is damped by the radial supporting portion (51), and vibration of the motor (6) in the thrust direction is damped by the thrust supporting portion (52), even when a motor housing (9) vibrates in both the radial and the thrust direction of the motor (6). Thus, vibration-proofing performance of the motor (6) can be significantly enhanced.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved system for identifying defects in
a composite structure by providing a light source such that defects, and in particular
dark defects on a dark background and/or light defects on a light background, can be
identified by capturing images of the illuminated composite structure. In particular,
the improved system for identifying defects in a composite structure may provide a
reflective surface, dispersion elements, and multiple and/or moveable light source(s)
and/or camera(s) in order to ensure that the most accurate images of any area of the
composite structure, even curved or contoured areas, are captured and processed. As
a result, the system of the present invention permits the operator to quickly identify
and correct defects which would otherwise create structural flaws or inconsistencies
that may affect the integrity of the composite structure.

Abstract: The invention provides for the prefetching of information, such as instructions and operands, in advance of a processor needing the information. In one arrangement, a prefetch unit receives the same instruction stream as the processor but the prefetch unit is run at a faster clock speed than the processor allowing the prefetch unit to run ahead of the processor in the instruction stream and to prefetch information in advance of the processor needing the information. Also, the prefetch unit can request instructions and operands from a first level (L1) cache and the L1 cache can send the requested instructions and operands to the prefetch unit and automatically stores the requested instructions and operands until needed by the processor. By prefetching information, the prefetch unit improves processor performance by reducing the number of cache misses and by reducing memory latency.

In one embodiment, a photograph repository service is accessible to users over a common data network, such as the Internet. In the photograph repository service, each stored photograph is associated with a location, i.e., where the photograph was taken and/or the location of an object in the photograph. Users can search for and obtain copies of their own photographs that they had stored previously with the photograph repository service. In addition, users can search for and obtain copies of photographs that had been taken by other users and stored with the photograph repository service. The photograph repository system can also be implemented as a standalone system, a hybrid system, or a peer-to-peer system.

Abstract: A reel seat assembly (10) for releasably retaining
an attachment portion of an angling reel when the
assembly is in use. The reel seat assembly (10)
comprises a rod portion (12), a first retaining part (20)
and a second retaining part (24) both mounted on the rod
portion (12). It further comprises an internally screw-threaded
ring (28) extending around the rod portion (12)
and coupled to the second retaining part (24), and a
series of substantially transverse generally parallel
ridges (22) on the rod portion (12) extending around only
a part thereof. The ridges (22) are eccentric viewing
the rod portion (12) in cross-section, by virtue of their
extending around only a part of the rod portion (12).
They lie on respective parts of a helical path defined by
the internal screw-threading of the ring (28) so that the
latter engages the ridges (22) to enable rotation of the
ring (28) to effect longitudinal movement thereof along
the rod portion (12), in one sense to increase the
spacing between the first and second retaining parts (20,
24) to enable such an attachment portion of an angling
reel to be positioned between them, and in the opposite
sense to decrease the spacing between the first and
second retaining parts (20, 24) thereby to retain such an
attachment portion between them. Subsequent rotation of
the ring (28) in the said one sense enables the
attachment portion to be released.

IPC: G01D5/244
Filed: 2005-06-09
Abstract: A method is designed for measuring a magnetic offset of a geomagnetic sensor equipped in a portable information terminal apparatus having a storage. The geomagnetic sensor has a magnetic sensitivity to a geomagnetic field and is affected by magnetization to cause the magnetic offset. In the method, an output of the geomagnetic sensor is measured to successively provide measurement data of the geomagnetic field from the output of the geomagnetic sensor. The measurement data is stored in the storage. The measurement data is read out from the storage when a number of the measurement data stored in the storage reaches a predetermined number, and an offset value of the magnetic offset is estimated based on the predetermined number of the measurement data read out from the storage.
