Patent EP-1168852-A1 (EP)
Inventor: UOMORI KENYA
IPC: H04N13/128
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: The stereoscopic CG image generating apparatus and a stereoscopic TV apparatus, has a projection transformation section which, based on three-dimensional structural information describing a three-dimensional shape of an object, generates a plurality of two-dimensional projection models as viewed from a plurality of viewpoints, a distance information extraction section which generates a camera-to-object distance information used for calculations in the projection transformation section, and a camera parameter determining section which, based on the output of the distance information extraction section, the screen size of a stereoscopic image display device for displaying finally generated two-dimensional projection models, and a viewer's viewing distance, determines camera parameters so that stereoscopic CG images will be brought within the viewer's binocular fusional range. According to the thus constructed stereoscopic CG image generating apparatus and stereoscopic TV apparatus, proper camera parameters (focal length or field of view, camera spacing, and converging point) are determined based on the camera-to-object distance information, the magnitude of parallax of the generated stereoscopic CG images on the display device (or in a window on the display screen), and the viewing distance, so that easy-to-view stereoscopic CG images are automatically generated regardless of the display size, and by horizontally translating left-eye and right-eye images, binocular parallax of displayed images is automatically brought within the viewer's binocular fusional range regardless of the size of a stereoscopic display used.

Abstract: A toroidal CVT is comprised of an input disc,
an output disc coaxial with the input disc, and a
power roller disposed on opposite surfaces of the
input and output disc to transmit power from the
input disc to the output disc. Dimensions and
relationship of the input and output discs and the
power roller are determined such that a spin S
generated at each of a first contact point between
the input disc and the power roller and a second
contact point between the output disc and the power
roller takes positive value throughout a
transmission ratio range of the toroidal CVT. When
S = {sin  · sin  - (1 + k - cos ) · cos } / sin , values
,  and k are determined so that S is greater than
or equal to zero.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-cost, wideband printed antenna
system for the microwave and mm-wave frequency range. The antenna
system according to the present invention consists of a butterfly-shaped
dipole (radiator) comprising two elements 2, 3, balanced microstrip lines
4, 5 and balanced-to-unbalanced transition 8, 9 for the feeding network.
The whole structure is printed on a low-loss dielectric substrate 1 and is
placed about a quarter wavelength above a metal reflector plate 6. The
two elements of the radiator are printed, respectively, on the opposite
side of the substrate. Different radiating element shapes 5, 6 and their
design method are presented. The proposed antenna system achieves
wideband operation concerning impedance, antenna gain and radiation
pattern characteristics. Bandwidth enhancement over the conventional
dipole element, is achieved by the shape of the dipole, the proper
matching between the feeding line and the radiating element, through
coupling elements 10 located along the balanced microstrip lines and
adjacent the radiating elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to pulse oximeters used to measure blood oxygenation.
The current trend towards lower power consumption has brought a problem of
erroneous readings caused by crosstalk, i.e. errors due to the coupling of
undesired capacitive, inductive, or conductive (resistive) pulse power from the
emitting side of the pulse oximeter directly to the detecting side of the
oximeter. The pulse oximeter of the invention is therefore provided with means
for detecting whether crosstalk is present and whether it will cause erroneous
results in the oxygenation measurements. The pulse oximeter is preferably
further provided with means for eliminating crosstalk which are adapted to
control the measurement so that measurement signals can be obtained which
are substantially void of crosstalk components.

Un équipement de réseau d'organisation intégré comprend des techniques de commutation physique spécialisées, et est commandé par un logiciel de gestion unique. L'accès à l'équipement de réseau peut être fourni à distance, et accordé via un service de programmation (42). Ainsi, plusieurs laboratoires à équipement physique peuvent être regroupés en une seule ressource globalement visible, ce qui permet une programmation unique du temps de laboratoire sans connaître l'inventaire détaillé d'une installation d'équipement de réseau particulier. La capacité de stockage est fournie pour les topologies de réseau décrites utilisant un langage de description de topologie normalisé (40). Cette archive de topologie est intégrée dans le logiciel de gestion de laboratoire à équipement, ce qui permet de conserver les efforts de laboratoire pour une réutilisation ultérieure (44). Les journaux complets de session peuvent également être enregistrés, ce qui permet une analyse « hors ligne » des activités du laboratoire.
