Inventor: HOUGHTON HARRY VINCENT
IPC: H02G9/10
Filed: 2000-06-19
Abstract: A stackable moulded junction box section, suitable for construction
of underground junction boxes. The section includes integrally moulded
support means (55,56,57). The support means can comprise a step (52)
and can also comprise a receiving means (56,57) for receiving and
supporting a support (58), which may be moulded integrally with the section
and then separated for use. The section may comprise inner (50) and outer
(51) walls joined by cross-reinforcement portions (52) which divide the
space between the walls into cavities (53). Provision to form apertures
between the cavities, which may comprise a knock out portion (54), can
be provided. The apertures may be open to the bottom of the section, so
that the section may be placed over a conduit. The section may include
projections to enable it to be stacked on end. In another embodiment the
section is formed from two or more separate interlocking components.

Abstract: A method of making a capacitor includes the steps of
forming an interconnection line above a substrate,
depositing a first dielectric layer on the interconnection
line, and etching a via in the first dielectric layer. The
via has a tapered width which increases in a direction
toward the substrate. Further, the method includes filling
the via with a conductive metal to form a metal plug, and
etching a trench in the first dielectric layer around an
upper portion of the metal plug. The metal plug has a
tapered width which secures it into the dielectric layer.
A second dielectric layer is deposited adjacent the metal
plug and an upper electrode is deposited on the second
dielectric layer. Preferably, a lower electrode is
deposited to line the trench and contact the metal plug.

Abstract: A control and method for preventing dry start of an electric water
heater provides activation of a bottom heating element for a short time and then
senses the temperature to detect the absence or presence of water around the bottom
heating element. In the absence of water, the control prevents further activation of
the heating element. If water is present, the bottom heating element is activated to
heat the water to a set point temperature. An additional upper heating element is
activatable only after its temperature falls a predetermined amount below the set point
temperature. The control may also include a programmable time having the ability
to vary the turn off set point temperature in a predetermined manner during different
times of a given day and/or week as well as to provide a convenient way to maintain
a reduced turn off set point temperature for an extended period of time.

The method involves using at least two electronic cameras (c) and digital image processing. The cameras are calibrated to a common global coordinate system (1) and the workpiece (d) is then introduced between them. The cameras are treated as pinhole camera models for setting the coordinate system. The positions and orientations of their light input openings are measured with separate measurement systems, the cameras acquire images of the object that are evaluated to find object characteristics (e) and the positions of the object and of the characteristics are derived.

Abstract: A magnetic tape, on which a plurality of patterned tracks
indicating a plurality of PAL type color television video
signals recorded at a long time recording speed in a long time
play mode are formed in series, is wound on a rotational drum
on which a pair of rotational magnetic heads are arranged to
be spaced at 180 degrees apart. When the PAL type color
television video signals are read out from the magnetic tape
while the magnetic tape is run at a special reproducing speed
higher than the long time recording speed, phases of a
plurality of color difference signals R-Y included in the PAL
type color television video signals are controlled on
condition that the phases of the color difference signals R-Y
are alternately set to an inverted condition every horizontal
scanning period even though one rotational magnetic head
scanning the magnetic tape is changed to the other rotational
magnetic head. Therefore, the occurrence of a skew in a
reproduced image or the decolaration of the reproduced image
can be prevented.

Abstract: To tune the center frequency of a gm-C filter, which is
a bandpass filter with a narrow bandwidth, to a target
frequency, only while the filter is being tuned, the original
circuit configuration of the filter is replaced with an
alternative configuration that realizes a high signal-to-noise
ratio. A characteristic tuner generates and inputs an impulse
signal, pulse signal or step signal to the filter being tuned
and thereby detects and adjusts the center frequency of the
filter. And the tuning result is stored on a nonvolatile
memory for future reuse. When the filter is operated, the
characteristic tuner stops operating to cut down the power
dissipation.

Abstract: A computer system and method for simplifying annotations on a surface
includes a tolerance process creates a tolerance window lying in a plane
and centered on the query point at the end of a test edge and perpendicular
to the test edge. The tolerance window is defined by a first tolerance
that specifies an amount of first error measured by the distance from a
simplified path to an original path in the plane tangent to the surface,
and a second tolerance that specifies an amount of second error measure by
the distance from the simplified path to the original path in the plane
perpendicular to the surface. The original path is a set of original
edges on the surface. A point projection process that projects a second
end point of one or more second edges onto the plane of the tolerance
window. The second edges has the query point also as an end point where
the projection of the second end points are projected points. An
invalidation process marks an edge as "invalid" and removes it both from
the list of simplifiable edges and the final list of simplified edges. A
selection process selects one of the second end points that has a projected
point within the plane containing the tolerance window, deletes the query
point, and connects the origin point to the respective second end point, to
create a new edge that replaces the test edge and respective second edges
in the set of original edges to create the simplified path.

The WTA server also instructs the wireless terminal to answer automatically the next voice telephone call it receives, and the WTA server instructs the mobile network to place a voice phone call to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal automatically answers, and there is then established a speech path from the wireless terminal, over the mobile network, through the WTA server, to the origin server. The wireless terminal may access the Internet audio service over this audio path.
