Patent EP-1170937-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOHN DAVID D
IPC: H04N1/191
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the speed at which an object can be optically scanned.
First and second optical signals  [351,352]  from first and second areas  [361,362]  of an
object  [110]  are focused respectively onto first and second optical sensor arrays
 [381,382] . Image data signals  [385,386]  from first and second optical sensor arrays
 [381,382]  are interlaced in a detection circuit  [390]  to form a composite image of the
object  [110] . By exposing the first area  [361]  during the time that the optical signal  [352] 
from exposure of the second area  [362]  is being clocked out and by exposing the second
area  [362]  during the time that the optical signal  [351]  from exposure of the first area
 [361]  is being clocked out, the object  [110]  can be scanned at a faster rate. Specialized
image sensors do not need to be developed. Commercially available image sensors
 [381,382]  can be used. In particular, increased scan speed could result from placing two
relatively inexpensive, commercially available Charge Coupled Devices (CCD's) or
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors  [381,382]  parallel
to each other and alternatively exposing near-by areas  [361,362]  of the object.

Abstract: A data storage medium (400) in which multiple
bitstreams are recorded, an apparatus and method for
recording the multiple bitstreams, and an apparatus and
method for reproducing the multiple bitstreams are
provided. The reproducing apparatus includes: a reading
unit (42) for reading main data including audio data
and/or video data, and reading sub data recorded in a
separate bitstream from the main data, which is later
reproduced in synchronization with the main data; and a
multiplexer (43) for multiplexing the main data and sub
data read by the reading unit. Therefore, multiple
bitstreams can be read and reproduced at the same time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multicrystalline laser-crystallized silicon thin layer solar cell deposited on a glass substrate (a), which is configured for illuminating from the substrate side, and to a production method for the cell. Said solar cell comprises a laser-crystallized multicrystalline silicon layer (b 1 , b 2 ), whose lower layer region (b 1 ), which is situated on the substrate (a) and provided as a nucleation layer and, at the same time, as a lower transparent electrode, is p-doped (alternatively, n-doped).

The edge lengths of the crystallites in the multicrystalline layer (b 1 , b 2 ) are longer than the layer is thick. The inventive solar cell also comprises a laser-crystallized, n-doped (alternatively, p-doped) silicon layer (c), which is located on the silicon layer (b 1 , b 2 ) and which serves as an emitter layer, and comprises a back-reflecting contact layer (A 1 ) that serves as an upper electrode on the emitter layer (c).

Patent EP-1275877-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KUNSCH ROMAIN
IPC: G01M1/30
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for improving vehicle steering performance and
robustness of that performance through control of non-uniformities in the vehicle's tires,
wheels and tire/wheel assemblies as a way to overcome the tendency of the steering
systems in certain vehicle types to undergo "steering performance loss." While
minimizing lateral force variations (e.g., couple imbalance), a controlled amount of
radial and/or tangential force variation is induced in one or more tire/wheel assemblies
by means of mass non-uniformity, dimensional non-uniformity, and/or stiffness non-uniformity.
For dimensional non-uniformity, the preferred method comprises imparting
a controlled amount of dimensional non-uniformity (preferably radial runout) to the tire
and/or the wheel in at least one of the tire/wheel assemblies, followed by statically and
dynamically balancing all of the vehicle's tire/wheel assemblies. All tire non-uniformities
imparted according to the invention are preferably distributed meridionally
symmetrically about the equatorial plane of the tire, so as to induce tangential and/or
radial force variations but not lateral force variations. Similarly, wheel non-uniformities
must be symmetric about the equatorial plane of the wheel. Beneficial tangential and/or
radial force variations will result from the operation of tire/wheel assemblies prepared
according to the invention, even if the tire/wheel assemblies are balanced by weights
added to the wheel. Synergistic beneficial effects result from combinations of the
various forms of beneficial mass, stiffness, and dimensional non-uniformity.

Abstract: An end transaction procedure is optimized for certain database operations. Where
a transaction preceding the end transaction procedure includes a step that employs all the
access modules in the transaction, a flush of the transaction log is performed during
execution of the last step of the transaction. The need to flush the transaction log during
the subsequent end transaction procedure is obviated. The end transaction procedure
further may check to determine whether the transaction log was previously flushed, rather
than always flushing the transaction log. Also, where the access modules involved in a
transaction are part of the same cluster, certain broadcast operations of the end transaction
procedure may be avoided.

Abstract: An inverter circuit charges a capacitive load (4)
incrementally by repetitive fly-back in an inductor (8)
connected in series with an FET (9) across DC input
terminals (2,3). A transistor (14), turned ON in
response to current build-up in the inductor (8) during
each charging cycle, switches FET (9) OFF to initiate
fly-back, and feedback from the fly-back acts via a
resistor (16) to hold transistor (14) ON and FET (9) OFF
through to the cycle end. Adding resistors (21,22) in
series with the load (4) across the input terminals
(2,3), derives a voltage which, like that via the
feedback resistor (16), is dependent on the input
voltage. The derived voltage acts via a zener diode (23)
to counteract the feedback, holding transistor (14) OFF
and interrupting further charging until the load (4) is
discharged into a xenon flash-tube (5). By making the
values of resistors (16 and 21) equal, the load (4)
charges to a voltage independent of input-voltage
variation; with them unequal, a deliberate variation of
output voltage with input can be obtained.
