Abstract: The method involves calculating a rotation of a photographic camera during its displacement from an observed area so that the camera is constantly oriented towards minimum glaring areas (ZU.1-ZU.4) due to solar light reflection. An observation direction of the camera is oriented perpendicularly with respect to an observed earth surface`s plane, when a sun-synchronous satellite is placed above a pole. The camera is inclined with respect to the plane to adopt an oblique observation direction at an equator and is turned in an inverse direction to find if the camera is along another direction.

IPC: G06F17/30

Abstract: While OLTP systems store up-to-date data, efficient reporting on top of these systems is not practicable due to performance reasons. OLAP systems provide sophisticated reporting capabilities, but do usually not use up-to-date data: common reporting architectures rely on complex, resource-intensive ETL processes that replicate OLTP data into read-optimized data structures in a batch job fashion during low system load times. The present invention introduces an architecture for reporting directly on top of OLTP data that preserves the short response times of OLAP systems. To do so, data transformations typically carried out during ETL are performed at query-runtime in a column-oriented main memory database. The advantages over traditional reporting architectures are that up-to-date data can be provided and that additional OLAP data stores are no longer required.

Abstract: For adaptive equalization of a differential phase modulated signal transmitted by a transmitter, a receiver (2) determines an estimate of a signal constellation y s (n) in the transmitter before phase integration of the transmitted signal. The receiver (2) determines an error signal e(n) as a difference between the estimate of the signal constellation y s (n) and a phase-differentiated output y d (n) of an equalizer (23) in the receiver (2). Based on the error signal e(n), in the receiver (2), equalizer coefficients (w m ) are determined and updated adaptively. The receiver (2) is moved iteratively towards the optimum coefficient setting with regards to the minimum squared error. Preferably, the equalizer (23) is configured as a fractionally-spaced equalizer using a sampling rate higher than 1/T, T being the period of the symbols in the differential phase modulated signal. Advantageously, the equalizer (23) is insensitive to phase offset and small frequency errors.

Abstract: In order to suppress cost of an initial investment by a user and running cost to the user to a low extent while substantially constantly maintaining an apparent illuminance, and further, to realize resource saving, in a case of using a fluorescent lamp FHF 32 as a discharge lamp La, a lamp supply power is started to be supplied from a value lower than 45W as rated electric power at an initial period of an operation of the discharge lamp, a light adjustment signal is changed in response to an accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be a value higher than 45W as the rated electric power on and after a rated lifetime of the discharge lamp La, whereby the lamp supply power (output of an inverter circuit 2) is adjusted. In the fluorescent lamp FHF 32, a light/electric power ratio becomes substantially constant when the lamp supply power is 41W to 55W, and accordingly, a light quantity is increased without impairing light emission efficiency of the discharge lamp La, and as a result, the apparent illuminance can be maintained substantially constantly.
