Patent EP-0884688-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRANDSMA EWOUT
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of searching a plurality of values in an
ordered list. Given a data set consisting of data items. With each data item one or more
attribute values are associated, which are all stored in an ordered list. Efficiently retrieving
the data items associated with a particular set of entered values is accomplished by using the
list. The list (partially) resides in slow secondary memory and, and a subset thereof, the
sparse index, resides in primary memory. Both indexes preserve some natural ordering of the
values. The invention proposes to look up the particular set of entered values in the list in
one combined operation, rather than individually. The accumulated retrieval time is
substantially reduced as a result.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de capteur dactyloscopique comprenant un réseau plan d'éléments capteurs capacitifs proches les uns des autres. Lorsqu'on place un doigt à proximité du dispositif de capteur, les éléments capteurs capacitifs mesurent la capacité entre le doigt et une seule plaque de capaciteur dans chaque élément capteur. On effectue ce processus en préchargeant chaque plaque de capaciteur et en utilisant ensuite une source de courant connue pour enlever une quantité fixe de charge de chaque plaque de capaciteur. La capacité mesurée varie en fonction de la distance entre la plaque de capaciteur et la surface du doigt. En mesurant la capacité, il est possible de déterminer la distance entre la plaque de capaciteur et la surface du doigt. On combine les mesures de distance sur tout le réseau d'éléments capteurs afin d'obtenir une représentation du motif des lignes de la surface du doigt qui comprennent une empreinte digitale. Après qu'on a acquis une empreinte digitale, on évalue la qualité de l'empreinte digitale et, si nécessaire, on règle à plusieurs reprises le paramètre de gain des éléments capteurs jusqu'à ce qu'une empreinte digitale satisfaisante ait été obtenue.

Abstract: In an attachment method and an attachment means for attaching insulation mats (12, 12') each laid surroundingly around a longitudinal portion of a pipeline (10), jointing spaces are formed between individual mats (12, 12'). A long-term durable, tensioned, locked connection at each joint space is desired. Preferably, divided, bendable, semi-rigid attachment bands of metal, exhibiting tensile strength are used. These are placed individually in the area of each joint space and tightened around neighbouring end portions of adjacent insulation mats (12, 12') while the attachment band (18a, 18b) is centred laterally in that an internal bead engages guidingly into the joint space (16). One end portion (18b') of one attachment band half (18b) may be fastened to the adjacent end portion (18a') by means of screws (22), while the other end portions (18a' and 18b') are provided with holes (24') and plastically deformable lips (24) to be passed therethrough, respectively, the efficient length of the attachment band halves (18a and 18b) and the positioning of the lips (24) and of the holes being such that the threading of the lips (24) through the holes and their subsequent bending causes a tightening of the attachment band (18a, 18b). The lip material acts as a locking means for the tightening and retaining action of the attachment band (18a, 18b) to the insulation mats (12, 12').

Abstract: A device is described to control the starting and running of a non-self-starting single phase synchronous motor with at least one stator winding that can be connected to the alternating voltage of a network via a switch controlled by a control electronic unit, an auxiliary winding which can be connected to the alternating voltage via a further switch controlled by the control unit and a permanent magnet rotor. The control electronic unit (8) detects at least the respective polarity of the alternating voltage (6) and in the current-free state of the stator winding (3) and/or auxiliary winding (4), the induced voltage in the auxiliary and/or stator winding with the rotor of the motor lagging behind subject to inertia. The control electronics brings the rotor into a defined starting position. For the starting of the rotor via the switch (5), it connects one or more voltage pulses of the one or other polarity of the alternating voltage across the stator winding depending on the desired rotational direction. For running of the rotor at synchronous speed, it closes the switch when the detected induced voltage and the mains voltage half wave stand in such a relationship that a torque arises in the desired rotational direction.

electronic broadcast channel periodical can be
transmitted, in addition to a number of video channels,
in a corresponding separate channel or can be transmitted
integrated in the video channels. In order to control the
display, cursor control keys (13-16) of an input means
are used in the method. In the method, when the up
key (15) or down key (16) is activated, the display is
changed in such a way that the list of represented
programmes of a selected broadcast channel provider is
changed in such a way that the chronologically next or
preceding programme is displayed or it becomes possible
to see (30) the chronologically next or preceding
list of programmes. When the left key (13) or right key
(14) is activated, the display is changed in such a way
that a list of programmes of a different broadcast
channel provider is displayed (40). This permits very
convenient navigation in the broadcast channel
periodical, which is equivalent to the standard of
convenience of a conventionally printed broadcast channel
periodical.
