Patent EP-0898236-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHIDA TETSUHIKO
IPC: G16B45/00
Filed: 1998-08-19
Abstract: A method which manifests characteristic which is latent
and can not be recognized, although it exists in a complicated
symbolic sequence, for example, a nucleotide sequence of DNA,
and thereby enables recognition of the characteristic
unrecognized yet, is provided. 
     When a symbolic sequence  I j  (j = 1∼m)  is given, there
is an effected conversion to a parallel sequence A(k) of
partial symbolic sequences in which the suffix j is aligned in
the following positional relation:
 
and A(k) is formed with changing k to p, p+r, p+2r, p+3r  ... ,
and the whole parallel sequences ΣA(k) is obtained. 
     When regularity of period length k exists in the
symbolic sequence I j , the regularity remarkably appears in the
partial symbolic sequences obtained by extracting one symbol
at every k-1 symbols from the symbolic sequence.

Abstract: A variable displacement compressor controls a
discharge displacement by changing an inclination of a
swash plate (5) depending on a pressure differential
between a crank chamber (3) and a suction chamber (13)
thereby to change a piston stroke. A first communication
passage (18) establishes communication between a discharge
chamber (14) and the crank chamber. A pressure control
valve (19) opens and closes the first communication passage.
On the other hand, a second communication passage (20)
establishes communication between the crank chamber and the
suction chamber. A valve member (21) is disposed in the
second communication passage and fully closes the second
communication passage due to a biasing force of a spring
when a pressure differential between the discharge chamber
and the suction chamber becomes not greater than a given
value.

Abstract: In an image recognition method of recognizing a plurality
of images from an input image, the plurality of images to be
recognized including at least one of a specific image and images
provided by rotating the specific image, the method includes the
steps of: preparing at least one of mask areas on a window area
for each image to be recognized, the window area being structured
by cells which are arrayed in two-dimensionally, the cell being
formed of at least one pixel, the mask area being structured by
at least one of the cells and corresponding to an area representing
a feature of the image to be recognized; first determining whether
or not the image to be recognized exists based on the result of
subjecting pixel density values of the input image in the mask
area to operation for each image to be recognized; and second
determining whether or not any of the plurality of images to be
recognized exists in the window area based on the determination
result of the first determining step.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for significantly
reducing and even eliminating the First Wafer Effect is
disclosed. In a first aspect, the First Wafer Effect
is reduced by heating a deposition chamber (following
an idle period) to its steady-state temperature by
using a coil to which RF power is applied. In a second
aspect, the First Wafer Effect is reduced by similarly
heating a deposition chamber (following an idle period)
to a temperature greater than its steady-state
temperature and then cooling the chamber to its steady-state
temperature. Preferably a gas is flowed into the
deposition chamber in both the first and second aspects
to increase the chamber's heating rate. Further, a DC
voltage may be applied to the deposition chamber's
target to cause sputtering of target material on non-production
objects for target conditioning.

Abstract: A safety device is provided for a power tape cutter to
prevent accidents. In the power tape cutter which leads
out adhesive tape T through an outlet 5 and cuts it to a
required length using a power blade 7, a movable shutter
15, which inhibits a user's fingers from being inserted
into the outlet, is disposed outside the power blade 7 at
the outlet 5. Due to the presence of a spring 16, the
shutter naturally tends to close of its own accord. The
movable shutter is provided with a retaining section 20
which retains the movable shutter, locking it in the open
position and unlocking it when a device driver responds to
a signal to start cutting the adhesive tape. The movable
shutter is also provided with a power blade drive switch 30

its original position after it cuts the adhesive tape, the
movable shutter is opened so that it can return to a state
where it is locked in the open position.

relatively rotated with respect to the substrate (1) at
least once at a non-constant angular speed during a

Abstract: An improvement in the technique to create output image includes creating on
output template data by automatically replacing template character train data, which is
created based on an output format, with data that is inputted by an operator and has
the same identification as the template data, The created output data is the same as it
is inputted by an operator based on the format. As the data, which is inputted without
regard to the format, can be used for creating output image data with this method, an
operator does not need to input data based on a predetermined format, thereby
reducing an operator's burden.
