Patent EP-1054355-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KNITTEL JAMES M
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: An apparatus illuminates samples in a volume rendering pipeline. The apparatus
includes the following units. A gradient magnitude modulation unit produces an
opacity, emissive, diffuse and specular modulation factor from a gradient
magnitude vector of each sample. A reflectance mapping unit produces a
diffuse intensity and a specular intensity from the gradient magnitude vector of
each sample and an eye vector of the volume. A first arithmetic logic unit
combines an opacity of each sample with the corresponding opacity modulation
factor to generate modulated opacities. A second arithmetic logic unit combines
an emissive coefficient with the emissive modulation factor of each sample to
generate modulated emissive coefficients. A third arithmetic logic unit
combines the diffuse intensity with the diffuse modulation factor of each
sample to generate modulated diffuse intensities. A fourth arithmetic logic unit
combines the specular intensity with the specular modulation factor of each
sample to generate modulated specular intensities, and a lighting unit applies
the modulated emissive coefficient, modulated diffuse and specular intensities
to color components of the samples to illuminate the volume sample.

Abstract: Records related to objects are stored in a map database (10) in ascending
order of occurrences of the objects or in descending order of extinction of the
objects. When objects available on a specified date are extracted, the date of
the occurrences or extinction of the objects in the records are ascertained
sequentially from the top. This ascertaining process is cancelled regarding the
objects appearing after the specified date, or regarding the objects disappearing
before the specified date. Objects seasonally available or available depending
on the weather and temporary traffic regulations to be carried out irregularly
are stored in the map database (10) by an operator or through a communication
from a traffic control center. Those objects and regulations are not indicated on
a calendar due to their irregularity. The objects agreeing with a condition can
be extracted, or roads available are selected to form a passable route.

Abstract: A nozzle plate (21) of an ink jet printing head is formed so that its
surface facing toward the ink drop discharge direction will have
protruding parts (40) around each of its nozzle holes (1). Each
protruding part (40) is formed in the shape of a circle that is concentric
with a corresponding nozzle hole (1), and the outer edge (41) of the
protruding part (40) is formed so as to have an appropriate slope. Due to
the configuration of the nozzle plate (21), a wiper blade (30) can make
good contact with the surface (protruding parts (40)) of the nozzle plate
(21) around the nozzle holes (1) and ink around the nozzle holes (1) can be
cleaned successfully in wiping operation, thereby the ink drop discharge
properties of the ink jet printing head can be stabilized and improved.
Such a configuration of the nozzle plate (21) is realized by
electrodeposition without using a photoresist. Therefore, the shape of
the nozzle hole (1) is not affected by the coating status of the photoresist,
the precision of a patterning image which is used for the exposure and
development, the precision and life of a mask, etc. Therefore, the
dimensional accuracy (diameter, roundness, etc.) of the nozzle holes (1)
can be improved, manufacturing yield of the ink jet printing heads can be
increased, manufacturing costs can be reduced, and high quality printing
can be realized.

Abstract: An electric park brake control (32) for a parking brake
actuator (28, 30) selectively operates a brake mechanism
(24, 26) at least one wheel to selectively perform a parking
brake function. Inputs to the electric park brake control
include an input from a shifter (18) for distinguishing PARK
position from other positions. The electric park brake
control causes the brake mechanism to perform the parking
brake function when the input from the shifter to the
electric park brake control discloses that the shifter is in
PARK position. The electric parking brakes are integrated
with the shifter, eliminating a parking pawl from a motor
(12) that propels the vehicle. Neither is an operating cable
from the shifter to the motor for operating the parking pawl
required. The shifter is coupled in exclusively electrical
relationship to a traction inverter module (16) for causing
the motor to operate in correspondence with the particular
position selected by the shifter. A security controller (50)
causes the electric park brake control to apply the parking
brake when a security violation is detected.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on effectue la séparation de gaz par adsorption modulée en pression (AMP) et par adsorption modulée en pression (AMP) sous vide, afin d'obtenir un gaz purifié de la fraction moins fortement adsorbée du mélange gazeux d'alimentation, au moyen d'un appareil comprenant plusieurs adsorbants. Ces adsorbants coopèrent avec des premier et second ensembles soupape, dans un module rotatif d'adsorption modulée en pression, dont le cycle d'adsorption est caractérisé par plusieurs niveaux de pression intermédiaire, se situant entre la pression la plus élevée et la pression la plus base du cycle. Les flux de gaz pénètrent dans le module AMP ou en sortent, à des niveaux de pression intermédiaires, de même qu'au niveau le plus faible et au niveau le plus élevé, dans des conditions sensiblement stables de flux et de pression. Le module AMP comprend un rotor qui contient des adsorbants à base de feuilles stratifiées et tourne dans un stator, les faces des soupapes à lumière, situées entre le rotor et le stator, servant à commander la synchronisation, dans le rotor, des flux pénétrant dans les adsorbants ou en sortant. Le gaz d'alimentation est comprimé avant de pénétrer dans les premiers moyens de soupape, et le gaz d'échappement est évacué vers l'atmosphère soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'une pompe à vide.

Abstract: The present invention provides a loop optimization method
and a compiler suitable for improving the execution time of a
loop including assumed-shape array. A loop optimizer detects
the outermost loop included in a subroutine, then traverse every
statements in the outermost loop (including any inner nested
loops) to detect array reference to the assumed-shape arrays
to register thus detected assumed-shape arrays to the
assumed-shape array table. Then for thus registered
assumed-shape arrays, the optimizer generates a conditional
expression determining whether the first order dimension stride
of each array is 1 or not, to form a conditional statement by
concatenating the conditional expressions of every elements
registered to the assumed-shape array table with the conditional
"AND" and then duplicates the loop by copying the outer loop
and the loop body entirely in focus at that time to the part
to be executed when the condition is TRUE and to the part to
be executed when the condition is FALSE.
