Abstract: The air vent for the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is fitted in an internal wall of the vehicle, in particular in a wall of the instrument panel, facing the passengers; the air vent is constituted by a hollow barrel rotatably supported with low friction on inward extensions of the dashboard, which cover it partially and retain it elastically; within the barrel there are some flat, circular discs fixed at 45° to a rotatable shaft coaxial with the barrel, which is provided with two diametrically-opposed slot-shape openings, which allow the passage of the air flow arriving from an internal duct, and intercept and even interrupt the air flow by partially or totally covering the openings by the extensions following turning of the barrel by a control wheel fixed to an end of the barrel; the turning of the shaft with the discs by a first control wheel directs the air flow into the passenger compartment in an area delimited by a 90° cone having an axis aligned with the openings in the barrel.

Title: Object detecting apparatus in which the position of a planar object is estimated by using hough transform
Inventor: MICHIMOTO YASUYUKI
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1996-09-02
Abstract: Based on left and right images that have been taken by image pickup devices, a correlation processing section obtains parallax data as three-dimensional data of objects. At processing start time, a plane estimating section estimates the position of a planar object such as a road or a floor by utilizing the Hough transform based on the parallax data that have been obtained successfully for part of rectangular segments of the images, and interpolates the parallax data by using the position of the planar object. At a time point after the processing start time, a parallax variation detecting section detects an object by comparing current parallax data with the parallax data at the processing start time.

Inventor: SATO TSUNEO
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 1996-09-05
Abstract: A color correcting apparatus and method convert a first color signal of a first format into a second color signal of a second format using a conversion matrix. The conversion matrix is obtained based on an achromatic color component conversion matrix and a chromatic color component conversion matrix representing chromacity and achromacity of an imaging device supplying the first color signal. Then, the second color signal is inversely converted into a third color signal of a third format. The third format is a format used by an image output unit. The inverse converting is performed using an inverse conversion matrix. The inverse conversion matrix is obtained based on an inverse of a conversion matrix associated with the image output unit, and the conversion matrix associated with the image output unit is obtained based on an achromatic color component conversion matrix and chromatic color component conversion matrix representing chromacity and achromacity of the image output unit. Furthermore, the color correcting apparatus and method may be employed in an imaging system.

Abstract: A loop controller for a fiber optic gyroscope employs distributed data processing to compress numerous additional useful functions into each loop transit time. The architecture of the loop controller (10) includes a field programmable gate array (36) for generating variables of varying sign. In addition, the array (36) acts to buffer the transmission of parameters between a gyro processor (32) and an auxiliary processor (34). The auxiliary processor (34) updates such parameters (which do not require updating every loop transit time) and a number of such parameters are multiplied by values generated by the array in operations performed by the gyro processor (32) that replace what would otherwise require throughput intensive test and branch operations. The combination of the offloading of selected variable and parameter generation and updating with programming of the gyro processor for parallel processing permits the loop controller (10) to perform numerous useful operations not previously possible during a realistic loop transit time.

Abstract: This invention is to provide an inexpensive high intensity discharge lamp lighting device having a simplified circuit construction, which does not use a full-bridge mode inverter. 
     The high intensity discharge lamp lighting device includes a rectifier for a power-frequency power supply, a booster chopper mode sine wave converter, a zero volt switching push pull inverter, and a high intensity lamp of a halide lamp. And, as a starting device for the halide lamp, the high intensity discharge lamp lighting device generates a high voltage (5 KV) using a resonance by a ballast choke for the inverter and a condenser connected in parallel to the halide lamp, thereby inducing a glow discharge. And, a PFM (pulse frequency modulation) circuit controls the lamp current of the halide lamp to keep it constant. And, when the AC power is turned off and turned on again, a re-lighting circuit after lighting works such that the control IC stops operation by a pulse-by-pulse mode current limiter of an inverter control IC, thereafter a soft starting circuit operates to generate a high voltage on the output of the inverter; when the lamp temperature is so high that the mercury vapor pressure inside the tube goes high and lighting cannot be started, the foregoing operation is repeated to achieve re-lighting.

Abstract: An automotive lamp bulb (1) is characterized in that the tip (upper end) of a common lead wire (9) is secured in the neck portion (15) of a glass bulb (2) with the aid of a bead (10). 
     The low bead makes it possible to shorten the protruding upper portion of the glass bulb. The use of the bead makes it easier to align the lead wire with the neck portion. Because a bead is interposed, the lead wire is allowed to move in relation to the glass bulb, making it possible to use inexpensive hard glass. Consequently, an inexpensive and compact lamp bulb can be easily manufactured. 
     This provides an automotive lamp bulb that is easy to process and that has a short projection in its upper part.
