Patent EP-0910033-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LONGACRE ANDREW JR
IPC: G01V8/10
Filed: 1998-04-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for
sensing the presence of an object in the field of view
of an imaging assembly of a stationary position optical
reader. The system includes a light source disposed in
a field of view of the imaging assembly, which is
configured to emit light in the direction of the imaging
assembly according to a predetermined light pattern. A
determination as to whether an object is present in a
presentation area of the reader system is made by
detecting for the presence of the light pattern in image
information generated by the imaging assembly.

Abstract: The method involves taking into account a second type of information when accessing the first type of information stored on the storage medium. The second type of information can be used to achieve authorization for access to the first type of information. Error correction of the first type of information can be achieved using the second type of information. Time synchronization to an external functional unit during transfer of the first type of information can be achieved using the second type of information.

IPC: G01S13/42
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: An FM signal generator generates a frequency-swept
FM signal, which is radiated as a beam from a transmission
and reception antenna. The transmission and reception
antenna is angularly moved by an antenna actuator to
scan the beam. An echo signal reflected from a target and
a signal related to the frequency-swept FM signal are mixed
into a beat signal, whose frequency spectrum is analyzed by
a frequency analyzer. A target detector determines the
distance up to the target based on the frequency spectrum
of the beat signal. A BPF processor comprises a bandpass
filter which extracts a frequency component corresponding
to the distance up to the target from the beat signal. A
bearing calculator compares the level of a signal that has
passed through the BPF processor with a threshold level to
determine a bearing and a width of the target.

Inventor: GOTO KENICHI
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: A diagnostic system for a fuel system of an internal
combustion engine such as direct-injection gasoline
engine monitors a pressure deviation of a actual fuel
pressure sensed by a fuel pressure sensor from a
desired fuel pressure in a feedback fuel pressure control,
and thereby detects abnormality in the fuel system.
When the pressure deviation continues to be outside a
normal range, a diagnostic controller commands engine
operation in a homogeneous stoichiometric combustion
mode, and monitors a feedback correction quantity in a
feedback stoichiometric air fuel control during the engine
operation in the homogeneous stoichiometric combustion
mode. The controller attributes the abnormality to the
fuel pressure sensor if the feedback correction quantity
of the air fuel ratio is fixed to an upper limit or a lower
limit.

Abstract: A composite clay material with the interlayer distance
sufficiently expanded by dispersing clay mineral in a low polar
polymer on a molecular level and the method for producing the same,
blend material and composite clay rubber material using the same

     The composite clay material is formed of a clay mineral
rendered compatible with an organic material through ionic bonding
to an organic onium ion having 6 or more carbon number and a main
guest molecule having a polar group in its main chain and side
chain and molecular length equal to or larger than that of said
organic onium ion. The main guest molecule is incorporated at least
partially into an interlayer section of the clay mineral which has a
hydrogen bonding with the polar group of the main guest molecule.
The main guest molecule preferably has a molecular weight ranging
from about 100 to 100000. Alternatively a first guest molecule
having a polar group and molecular length equal to or smaller than
that of the organic onium ion and a second guest molecule having no
polar group therein and molecular length larger than that of the
organic onium ion are incorporated into the interlayer section of
the clay mineral instead of the main guest molecule. The above
obtained clay composite material may be mixed with the rubber
material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for overloading operators in
Page Description Language (PDL) defined graphics redefines
the graphic, such as to compensate for certain undesirable
line growth characteristics of a target printer or display
device. Line width can be controlled based on various
attributes, such as color, size, or width. Additionally,
the method and apparatus determine whether a line of an
object of the graphic intersects with or completely
overlays another object. If it does, only those overlying
portions are redefined. A line of the graphic can be
redefined to be wider, narrower or of a differing color to
achieve a desired printed graphic. Also, the method and
apparatus can compensate for fill in of reverse-line and
"cookie-cutter" holes. The method, performed within a
decomposer (110), examines individual lines of a PDL
defined graphic, determines if compensation is needed to
achieve a desired printed output, and redefines an operator
to achieve the compensation. The method also determines
whether the line intersects with or completely overlays
another object of the graphic.

Abstract: A packet routing system is disclosed that
allows for efficient transfer of data flows from router
(102) to router (104) with use of supertrunking (112).
The router (102) that receives (502) a data flow (220)
inputs the packets of the data flow, determines (504) the
logical output port corresponding to the data flow,
assigns the entire data flow to a physical output port
within the logical output port with use of a load
balancing function, encapsulates each packet within a
Packet Forwarding Header (PFH) and a Rotator Information
Unit (RIU) header that identifies the assigned physical
output port, and outputs (510) the encapsulated packets
of the data flow to the assigned physical output port.
The assigned physical output port removes the PFH and the
RIU header from each packet and outputs the packets to a
physical link. The router (104) that receives the
packets can treat the packets of the particular data flow
like typical packets since all the packets of the same
data flow traverse the same physical link resulting in no
mis-ordering of packets.
