Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a blood alcohol content value by means of a breath alcohol concentration as well as for securing the reliability of this measured value. The apparatus comprises: sensor elements (1) for obtaining a measured alcohol concentration value from an incoming exhalation air stream; sensor elements (1) for obtaining a measured carbon dioxide concentration value from the same exhalation air stream (9); as well as first output elements (2) for producing, if necessary, a result proportional at least to a blood alcohol content. The apparatus further includes a first memory (M1) for storing a predetermined carbon dioxide lower threshold value or lower threshold values (R1, R2, R3 and/or Rf) and/or an upper threshold value or upper threshold values (R4, R5, R6 and/or Rg) and a first comparing element (C1) for comparing the measured carbon dioxide concentration value to said threshold values as well as a first logic element (L1) for producing outputs of a preset type depending on whether the measured carbon dioxide concentration fails to reach or exceeds the predetermined lower threshold values or upper threshold values.

Abstract: A multiresolution method and apparatus for searching of a database of images where the search is performed on compressed images, without first decompressing them. The method searches the database of compressed images first at a low resolution to obtain the relative quality of a match between a search template and a candidate image. If the match is below a particular threshold, the search is terminated without committing any further computational resources to the search. Conversely, if the match is above a particular threshold, the method enhances the resolution of the candidate image and then performs another match. As long as the relative quality of the match is above the particular threshold, the resolution of the candidate image is successively enhanced, until a match determination is made at a full resolution of the candidate image.

Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a spool (1a), a
coil (3c) wound on the spool, an armature (12a) inserted in the
through hole (70) of the spool, a yoke (4a) fixed to the spool by
fitting, hinge springs (9), a movable spring (8), a hinge spring
fixing portion (10), an attaching/fixing portion (200), and at
least one terminal (5a,5b). The armature (12a) operates upon
excitation of the coil (3c). The yoke (4a) has first and second
opposing upright portions (40a,40b). One end of the armature (12a) is
in contact with a one-end face of the first upright
portion (40a), and the other end thereof opposes the other-end
face of the second upright portion (40b). The hinge springs (9)
set the armature (12a) at a predetermined angle with respect
to the yoke (4a), and urge one end of the armature (12a) against
the one-end face of the first upright portion to ensure
magnetic connection. The movable spring (8) has a movable
contact (7) and extends on one end side of the hinge springs (9)
to be connected to the armature (12a). The hinge spring
fixing portion (10) extends on the other end side of the
hinge springs (9) to support them and the movable spring (8).
The attaching/fixing portion (200) attaches and fixes the
hinge spring fixing portion (10) on the first upright portion (40a)
by a single operation. The terminal member (5a,5b) is fixed to
one end portion of the spool (1a) by press fitting and has a
stationary contact (6) adjacent to the movable contact (7).

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved phase controller operatively connected
to the operating lever or trigger of an electrically powered tool
for supplying its motor with electric power from an ac power supply.
It comprises: means for establishing a divisional voltage derived
from the ac voltage across the electric power supply; a variable
resistor-and-capacitor series-connection across the motor-and-power
supply series-connection; and means for supplying the
ac motor with electric power when the charging voltage across the
capacitor rises above the divisional voltage. The variable
resistor is operatively connected to the operating lever, and the
capacitor can be charged with electricity at a charging rate which
is determined by the variable resistance and the fixed capacitance
under the control of the operating lever. The divisional voltage
varies in the same way as the voltage across the ac power supply,
thus permitting the ignition angle to remain substantially
unchanged no matter whether the commercially available electric
power may be of different cycles.

Abstract: To provide a connector provided with a retainer which can prevent a retainer
insertion hole from being exposed to the outside and has a strong force for
retaining terminal fittings. 
     A retainer 30 is rotatable in a housing 10 about an insertion portion 33.
When the retainer 30 is rotated to its lock position, lock projections 32 provided
on the insertion portion 33 lock the terminal fittings 20. Since the retainer 30 can
directly lock the terminal fittings 20 in this connector, the terminal fittings 20 can
be retained with a strong force. Further, since a retainer insertion hole 31 is
formed in the front surface of the housing 10, it is not exposed to the outside by
being covered by a mating connector. In other words, the inventive connector has
advantages of both side retainer type and front retainer type connectors of prior
art and retains the terminal fittings 20 with a large force while being designed to
be watertight.
