Patent EP-1041379-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BILLS RICHARD EARL
IPC: G06V10/98
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for scanning a
workpiece for defects with increased resolution and sensitivity relative to
conventional workpiece inspection systems. Specifically, the apparatus and methods
of the present invention repeatedly scan different portions of the workpiece with an
optical beam that forms a scan region on the surface of the workpiece having in-scan
and cross-scan dimensions. The in-scan dimension of the scan region is parallel to the
direction with which the optical beam is scanned, and the cross-scan dimension is in a
direction that is generally perpendicular to the direction in which the optical beam is
scanned. The apparatus and methods of the present invention filter the signal
reflected from the surface of the workpiece in the cross-scan direction using a cross-scan
filter. As such, the method and apparatus of the present invention effectively
remove a significant portion of the noise in the reflected signals used for detecting for
defects in the workpiece. Further, in some embodiments, the apparatus and method
also filter the reflected signal in the in-scan direction using an in-scan filter. By
filtering the reflected signals in either a cross-scan or both a cross-scan and in-scan
directions, the apparatus and methods of the present invention remove noise from the
reflected signals, thereby increasing the sensitivity and resolution of the workpiece
inspection device.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a rotation
angle and torque detection apparatus capable of detecting a rotation
angle and a torque in a non-contact manner and ensuring long life
and stable detection even in a place having vibrations and in a
high-temperature environment in which there are oil, water, dust or
the like. 
     The rotation angle and torque detection apparatus includes a
rotation angle detection inclined ring-shaped magnetizing body (6) to
which the rotation of a shaft (1) is transmitted, a rotation angle
detection sensor head section (7) for detecting the change of magnetic
fluxes due to the rotation, cylindrical cam mechanisms (5) and (12) for
converting a torsion of the shaft (1) into a linear displacement
coincident with the direction of the rotation of the shaft (1), a
torque detection ring-shaped magnetizing body (11) to which the
displacement of a direct-acting follower (12) is transmitted, a
detection sensor head section (10) for detecting the change of
magnetic fluxes due to the displacement and a case (9) which houses
the above-stated components altogether and into which the shaft (1)
penetrates. Hence, it is possible to ensure stable detection and
make the apparatus small in size and simple in structure.

     Erfindungsgemäß ist der zweite Kraftstoffleitungsanschluss (7b)
über eine weitere Leitungsverbindung (16c,16d) mit einem dritten
Kraftstoffleitungsanschluss (7c) verbunden. Durch diese Ausbildung
ist mit geringem Aufwand eine wesentlich verbesserte Möglichkeit

Abstract: The invention provides a regeneration control device of a hybrid electric
vehicle, which is able to sufficiently charge a battery with power regenerated as a
result of the regenerative braking and effectively perform the regenerative
braking, and which is also able to ease the burden of a friction brake. 
     If chargeable power set by a chargeable power setting device according
to a charging level of the battery becomes lower than regenerated power
computed by a regenerated power computing unit during the regenerating
operation of a motor, the power regenerated by the motor is supplied to a
generator. This drives the generator to cause an engine to run an engine brake
without the supply of fuel.

Abstract: An optical sensor (80) for detecting the position of
marks on a medium (84), wherein relative motion is provided
between the optical sensor and the medium during an optical
sensing operation. The optical sensor produces an
electrical sensor signal (86A), and has a field of view at
the media in a direction of the relative movement. The
marks have a nominal dimension in the direction of the
relative movement, and the field of view is larger than the
nominal dimension. This produces a sensor signal with a
clear and relatively sharp peak in response to scanning the
media mark. A method of sensing locations of marks printed
by ink-jet nozzles of a plurality of printheads mounted on
a scanning carriage, which includes printing an alignment
pattern (150) on a print medium, the alignment pattern
comprising a set of target or reference marks printed using
a subset of the nozzles on each of the plurality of
printheads, and a set of color marks (170) printed using a
subset of the nozzles from only one of the printheads.

Abstract: [Problem] Providing a loyalty program with game that executes games
on a smart card (100), wherein the loyalty program with game can also
be used as a simple loyalty program without game, no major
modifications need not be made to shop terminals, and the number of
times customers can play games can be limited according to sales
amounts. 
     [Solving Means] Point data managed by a point application is divided
into two types: "pre-game points" and "post-game points." In shops,
points are added to the pre-game points. For game execution, the pre-game
points are subtracted, and points gained by game are added to
the post-game points. 
     [Effect] Shop terminals need not be modified, and customers not to
play game can also enjoy reasonable exchange of gained points. From
the viewpoint of system management, by limiting the number of times
customers can play game, points gained by game can be prevented
from circulating infinitely.
