Patent GB-2344247-A (GB)
Title: Sensor system
Inventor: MARSHALL GILLIAN FIONA
IPC: H04N5/374
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: The invention provides a sensor system (800) for generating a sensor signal (S<SB>out</SB>) corresponding to a filtered image of a scene. The system (800) incorporates a multielement array (526) and associated processing circuits for providing element signals in response to images projected onto it and a projecting lens assembly (502) for projecting images onto the array (526). The lens assembly-(502) projects differently blurred images of the scene onto the array (526) for generating a measurement signal during a measurement phase and a local spatial average correction signal during a calibration phase. A light-diffusing shutter (522) is used for generating the differently blurred images. The system (800) substracts the measurement and correction signals of each element from one another to provide a difference signal and uses this signal to generate the sensor signal (S<SB>out</SB>) during the measurement phase. The calibration phase is repeated on change of array temperature or incident radiation intensity, thereby reducing fixed pattern noise in the sensor signal (S<SB>out</SB>) despite environmental change, and interrupting the measurement phase only infrequently.

Title: Garbage can with a pedal and hydraulically operated lid
Inventor: WANG TIN-CHOU
IPC: B65D43/26
Filed: 2001-02-21
Abstract: A garbage can with a pedal operated lid, which includes an oil or gas hydraulic operated device connected with the pedal 14, the hydraulic device including a pressure valve 22, a pushing valve 23, a hydraulic pipe 21, and a reducing valve 24. The pedal 14 when pressed pushes a button 223 and connected piston 224 that fits closely inside a cylinder part of a pressure valve 22, which pushes oil in the hydraulic pipe 21, which in turn is connected to the pushing valve 23 secured to the outer container by fixing member 15, which causes a piston rod 232 to move upwards to push a movable member 17 in order to open pivoted lid 12. When the pedal 14 is released the weight of the lid pushes the piston 232 of the pushing valve 23 downwards which causes the oil to push the piston 224 of the pushing valve 22 rearwardly, thus returning the pedal 14 to its original position. The reducing valve 24 is connected to the hydraulic pipe 21, and includes a piston 241 and a regulating screw 243, which absorbs part of the pressure of the oil.

Title: Method for searching a data source by building an abstract composite image
Inventor: FOOT PETER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: A method of searching for a data record wherein the user composes a composite image comprising a number selectable areas (1, figure 1). For each selectable area the user can select a component image (2, figure 2) from an appropriate list of options to create a visual description of the target item. The data source is then searched to locate records containing the selected components and the system will contain relevant reference material on the chosen subject. The method may be implemented on suitable computing apparatus with a graphical output. The images used may be supplemented by descriptive text (perhaps describing non visual attributes of the component) to ease the recognition process. Any areas of the composite image left blank with no component selected are excluded from the search process.

Title: A method of improving the lookup performance of tree-type knowledge base searches
Inventor: MCDANIEL BETTY A
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-11-29
Abstract: A decision tree, is segmented into at least two portions. The lower portion includes the tree entry point and is stored in a memory element with a faster access time than the upper portion, which includes the terminating element of the decision tree. Thus during the process of reading the tree entries for comparing them with the search object, the search entries in the lower portion of the tree can be read faster than the search entries in the upper portion, resulting in a faster traversal through the entire decision tree. Also, two processors can be used to access the portions of the tree so that parallel searching can occur.

Title: Method of determining engine torque which is used to control a powertrain
Inventor: ROBICHAUX JERRY DEAN
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: A powertrain comprises an internal combustion engine and an automatic gearbox coupled to the engine via a torque converter having a turbine. The powertrain is controlled by a controller which receives a plurality of inputs from various sensors and uses these inputs in a control method comprising: 1) determining a desired wheel torque 200, based on accelerator pedal position; 2) determine engine speed 202; 3) determine turbine speed 202; 4) determining a selected gear/gear ratio 204; 5) determining current vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds a corresponding threshold, the selected gear ratio is not taken into account when determining the desired engine torque and wheel speed is used instead. On the other hand, when the vehicle speed is below the corresponding threshold, the gear ratio is taken into account when determining the desired engine torque. The method also includes determining a torque ratio based on engine speed and engine inertia and adjusting a spake based on the torque ratio for a predetermined time after a ratio change has been commanded to reduce actual engine torque during the ratio change.
