Inventor: KIM YONG-HO
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: Disclosed is a combination image-capturing apparatus and method. A combination
image-capturing apparatus according to the present invention comprises a main
body (100), a combination image-capturing unit (200) installed on the main body
(100) to be location-changeable that include first and second signal processing units
(101, 120) and first and second recording media (121, 122). The combination image-capturing
apparatus further comprises a mode selection switch unit (300) for
generating an operation mode signal corresponding to a selected image-capturing
unit according to position changes of the combination image-capturing unit (200), a
photo switch for generating an image-capturing trigger signal, and a control unit
(140) for controlling storage of the first and second formatted signals in the first
recording medium (121) and the second recording medium (122) if the image-capturing
trigger signal is received. Accordingly, the present invention enables one
photo-switch to store images in a recording medium (121, 122) corresponding to
each of the image-capturing units (221, 222) independently driven to capture the
images, thereby eliminating inconvenience arises from using separate photo-switches,
as well as reducing the volume of the image-capturing apparatus.

IPC: C07F7/18

Abstract: The invention relates to amorphous silica (e.g. silica aggregates) having hydroxyl groups (e.g. silanol groups) on its surface which has been pre-reacted (e.g. pre-hydrophobated) with a combination of blocked mercaptoalkoxysilane coupling agent and an alkyl silane to form a composite. The invention further relates to a rubber composition which contains such composite, particularly as reinforcement. The blocked mercaptoalkoxysilane is composed of a mercaptosilane where the hydrogen moiety of the mercaptan moiety is substituted with a blocking moiety which allows the alkoxy groups of the mercaptoalkoxyosilane to react with a precipitated silica having hydroxyl groups (e.g. silanol groups) on its surface for the silica pre-treatment thereof yet renders the mercapto portion of the mercaptoalkoxysilane as being relative inert insofar as subsequent coupling reaction with the elastomers until the blocked mercapto portion of the mercaptoakoxysilane becomes unblocked. Upon subsequent unblocking of the blocked mercapto moiety of the mercaptoalkoxysilane of the pre-hydrophobated silica within the rubber composition during the subsequent vulcanization of the rubber composition at an elevated temperature, the silica becomes coupled via the mercapto group of the mercaptoalkoxysilane to one or more elastomers of the rubber composition.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method for reducing angular blur in radar pictures achieved
in range bin based detection systems. A variable S(x,y) such as amplitude, power or
the like is measured as a function of an angle x and a distance y. According to the
invention an expression of the type:
 corrected angular position = angular position + angle correction 
is determined in each range bin for a plurality of angular values x, the term "angle
correction" comprising derivative(s) of first or higher order of the variable S(x). The
variable measured at the angular position "angular position" is the moved to the
variable in the angular position "corrected angular position" and the moved variable
and the variable in "corrected angular position" are processed by adding, maximizing
or the like.

Title: Method and device for controlling a door/gate drive
Inventor: SOMMER FRANK
IPC: G05B19/23
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for controlling an electric door/gate drive. During a teaching process, the temporal course of the torques of the door/gate drive is determined for at least one opening or closing process. Maximum torques that are permitted for preset zones during an opening and closing process are derived from the determined torques. When the door/gate drive is in operation, the actual torques are compared to the maximum torques, and the actual speeds of the door/gate drive are compared to the predetermined set speeds. The actual speed of the door/gate drive is increased when this speed falls below the assigned set speed. However, the door/gate drive is switched off when the actual torque exceeds the assigned maximum torque.

Abstract: A method of monitoring electrical activity non-invasively (such as uterine activity) which includes applying a localized group of electrodes to a patient's skin and monitoring signals thereon. The electrodes are localized sufficiently such that their muscular signal contributions simulate a single source despite source non-stationarity. The signals are amplified, filtered and digitized. They are then digitally filtered and processed by independent component analysis (ICA) to separate a muscular activity source from other sources. The method may be used to monitor maternal uterine activity, fetal activity and maternal and fetal cardiac activity simultaneously with the aid of additional electrodes and associated circuitry.

Abstract: Des mesures de position sont souvent effectuées au moyen d'un système de localisation présentant une plage de capture fixe et une précision et une résolution données. Une plage de capture fixe implique souvent une réduction de la précision et de la résolution. La présente invention prévoit initialement une plage de capture étendue, impliquant une précision et une résolution faibles. Dans cette zone de capture étendue, la zone cible peut alors être identifiée et ciblée. Cette identification permet d'obtenir de manière itérative une plage de capture réduite centrée autour de la région à étudier, ce qui en accroît à la fois la précision et la résolution.
