Patent EP-0804021-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAWAGUCHI NAOKI
IPC: H04N5/52
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: When processing an image signal, an image which is seen as a natural image can be attained in that resolution of a photographed image is kept substantially constant irrespective of any variation in condition of an optical system such as iris diaphragm diameter and zoom position. For example, in the case of iris diaphragm diameter, an MTF corresponding to a variation of iris diaphragm diameter is measured (Fig. 6A) and then the gain of an output of an aperture control circuit capable of cancelling a reduction of high frequency component of the image signal corresponding to the measured MTF (Fig. 6B). Then, an iris diaphragm diameter varied during a photographing operation is detected, a gain set in response to the detected iris diaphragm diameter is applied to the aperture control circuit, whereby control is carried out such that the amplitude of the high frequency component of the brightness signal (Fig. 6C) is kept substantially constant without having any relation with the iris diaphragm.

Abstract: A box formed from a cut and creased blank comprises a base (1), wall panels (2,3,10,11) forming sides of the box, and a top. The top consists of an inner panel (5) which has an opening giving access to the contents, and an outer panel (4) which lies over the hole to close the box. A closure flap (6) extends from the outer panel and is attached to the external face of the box to secure the outer panel in its closed position. The blank is part-erected in an open tubular form, with the inner and outer top panels secured in place but a pair of opposite sides left open. The contents are then end-loaded through an open side before the erection of the box is completed. The closure flap is provided with a tab retainer which may be reused to close the box after it has been opened. There are no direct means of attachment between the inner and outer panels.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for
producing a microcapsule flavor delivery system. In the
method, a mixture of a flavoring material selected from
the group consisting of an oil soluble flavor dissolved
in an oil, a water soluble flavor or a combination of the
two, and a protein solution is provided. The mixture is
subjected to low shear mixing to provide an o/w pre-emulsion
or a w/o/w multiple emulsion. The pre-emulsion
or multiple emulsion is subjected to high shear mixing or
sonication to provide either an o/w emulsion having a
coating of protein around the oil droplets or a w/o/w
multiple emulsion having a coating of protein around the
w/o droplets, respectively. The microcapsule flavor
delivery system is incorporated into a food product to
improve the flavor perception.

Abstract: A roller measurement fixture is comprised of a series of small in-line
rollers (20) mounted in rows, forming a receiving cradle or trough (25). An
extruded part to be measured is cradled in a semi-circular arrangement of the
rollers and straightens as it settles under its own weight. The cradle will
accommodate many different cross-sections of extruded part. The rollers are
free to rotate as the part is placed into the fixture and properly located.
Friction from these rollers is negligible; therefore the part remains in, or attains,
its free state, without internal stresses, throughout the loading and
measurement process. Thus, the extruded part is limp within the cradle, being
loaded so as to contact a head or alignment stop at one end of the cradle. A
floating stop (35) riding on the rollers engages the other end of the part and
cooperates with a scale (30) on the cradle as a means of acquiring the
measurements.

Abstract: An electromagnetic control valve which is
capable of controlling with small electromagnetic
force is provided. In such electromagnetic
control valve, a pressure-sensitivity control
mechanism is provided in a space leading to the
suction side of the compressor such that the
pressure-sensitivity control mechanism faces to
the crankcase pressure introducing opening of the
valve main body. This pressure-sensitivity
control mechanism is formed by a piston which comes
into contact with the bottom surface of the valve
rod. The differential pressure between the
crankcase pressure and the suction pressure of the
compressor is detected by the piston. Upon
receipt of detection signals from a temperature
sensor and a pressure sensor and an external signal,
the pressure-sensitivity control mechanism
adjusts the flow of refrigerant from the discharge
side (high-pressure side) to the crankcase side
of the compressor. Thus, the differential
pressure can be controlled.

each field. An intra-field encoding process or an intraframe
encoding process can be selected as a compressing and
encoding process. Information that represents the selected
encoding process is recorded on the tape (25).
