Inventor: KOYAMA JUN
IPC: H03M1/68
Filed: 1998-11-25
Abstract: A D/A conversion circuit with a small area is provided. In the
D/A conversion circuit, according to a digital signal transmitted from
address lines of an address decoder, one of four gradation voltage
lines is selected. A circuit including two N-channel TFTs is connected
in series to a circuit including two P-channel TFT, and a circuit
including the circuits connected in series to each other is connected in
parallel to each of the gradation voltage lines. Further, an
arrangement of the circuit including the two N-channel TFTs and the
circuit including the two P-channel TFTs is reversed for every
gradation voltage line. By this, the crossings of wiring lines in the D/A
conversion circuit becomes small and the area can be made small.

Abstract: Apparatus, and a corresponding method for its use, for gaining access to
and operating a vehicle, such as a car (10), by means of at least one fingerprint sensor
(16) installed inside the vehicle at a convenient location and, optionally, outside the
vehicle (at 14), in or near a door handle (12). Once an authorized user's identify has
been verified in a fingerprint matching device (30), various vehicle subsystems are
automatically adjusted to the identified user's preferred settings, which are stored in a
memory (98). In addition, starting the vehicle engine is enabled if an interior fingerprint
sensor has been used, or the vehicle is unlocked if an exterior fingerprint sensor has
been used. Vehicle subsystems that are automatically adjusted to the user preferences
include seats (38), mirrors (40), steering wheel (42), climate control (44), airbag (52),
telephone (46), radio (50) and onboard computer (54), as well as performance control
features (48) such as suspension and transmission adjustment. Door locks (34) and
security system features (36) are also automatically controlled, as is a radio transmitter
(56) that is automatically customized to open the user's home garage door or office
parking entry gate. Features of a number of different fingerprints are stored in the device
to allow for operation of the vehicle (10) by different family members, as authorized by a
primary user.

Abstract: An optical disc drive produces read gate signals for controlling
the address and data read timing, and write gate signals for
controlling the timing of data writing. During the disc speed is
stable, the read gate signals and write gate signals are formed
using the clock signal generated by an internal oscillator. However,
when the disc speed becomes unstable, the read gates and write
gates are formed using the clock signal generated by the signal
reproduced from the disc.

Abstract: A method and a device for removal of a slug separated from a hollow profile by means of a fluidic internal pressure from a hydroforming tool. The slug is separated from the hollow profile from the inside to the outside by the retraction of a plunger integrated into the hydroforming tool and clearing a slug channel when retracted, and is forced out of the die cavity of the hydroforming tool into the slug channel. Then, with the hollow profile in a zero-pressure state, the slug, which after it is pressed in abuts the end of the plunger, is removed by a removal tool from the hydroforming tool. In order to remove slugs from the hydroforming tool in any desired position of the slug channel that leads into the die of the hydroforming tool, in which the slug is initially received after perforation, in simple fashion, the slug is held at the end of the plunger during its stay in the slug channel by an adhesion means connected with the plunger. Then, after the hydroforming tool is opened and the finished hollow profile is removed, the slug, while continuing to adhere to the end of the plunger, is guided by means of the plunger and of the removal tool designed with adhesion means into the open die cavity. The slug and the area of the removal tool on which the adhesion means acts assume a relative position opposite one another, after which the slug is separated from the plunger and then adheres to the removal tool, by means of which the adhering slug is then removed from the hydroforming tool.

Abstract: An input circuit for minimizing power consumption in connected circuits is
implemented. The input buffer has a saturating amplifier with a gain greater than unity,
which provides for rapid transition of slowly rising or slowly falling inputs, thereby
minimizing the time interval of the cross conduction range. The input buffer also has a
current source which provides a constant current that limits the current when the input is
within the cross conducting range. This invention is especially useful for inputs which
are slowly falling or rising, where connected output circuits may be in the cross-conducting
range for extended periods.

Abstract: Cooling structure of gas turbine combustor in which
cooling medium flows through grooves in wall is improved so
that adjustment of flow velocity, pressure loss and heat
transfer rate of cooling medium flow in the wall becomes
possible and cooling effect thereof is enhanced. Wall of
combustor tail tube is made in double structure in which outer
plate (1) and inner plate (4) are jointed together being
lapped one on another. The outer plate (1) has air inlet hole
(3) and groove (2) formed therein. The groove (2) is closed
by jointing of the inner plate (4) to the outer plate (1).
The inner plate (4) has air outlet hole (5) formed therein.
The groove (2) communicates with the air inlet hole (3) and
the air outlet hole (5). Cross sectional shape of the groove
(2) is changed two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally such
that width enlarges toward the hole (5) from the hole (3) or
depth is constant or changed in tapered form. Cooling air
flows into the groove (2) from the air inlet hole (3) of tail
tube surface to flow toward both sides along the groove (2)
for cooling of the wall. The air is thereby heated to expand
to increase flow velocity and pressure loss, but flow passage
enlarges toward the hole (5) and flow velocity is suppressed
and pressure loss is reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a searcher in a CDMA communication system

Filed: 1999-11-26
Abstract: In a method of controlling a searcher used in a receiver section
supplied with a sequence of baseband reception data signals divisible into a
sequence of frames, a current frame rate in a current frame is used to
calculate a next frame rate in a next frame following the current frame and
to determine candidate slots in the next frame with reference to the next
frame rate. The searcher carries out searching operation within the
candidate slots in the next frame. The next frame rate is calculated so that
it is not higher than the current frame rate, so as to reliably carry out the
search operation. The candidate slots in the next frame may be
determined by a data burst randomizer.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting face-like regions in a colour image, for instance
from a video camera. The saturation component is derived (21) from a colour image

than five reduced resolution pixels in each dimension. The reduced resolution
saturation image is then tested (23) to find regions which are of substantially uniform
saturation and of a predetermined size and shape and which are surrounded by a region
of substantially different saturation.
