Patent EP-0833240-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAGGIO KENNETH J
IPC: G01R19/165
Filed: 1997-09-26
Abstract: A loop control detection circuit (100) is provided for detecting feedback values in a current feedback control loop to determine if the control loop is in or out of control. The loop control detection circuit (100) includes a comparison circuit and a register circuit. The comparison circuit includes a first comparator (102) and a second comparator (106) that receive a feedback control loop signal from a current feedback control loop that is provided as the gate or gate-to-source voltage of a low side driver (24). The first comparator (102) compares the feedback control loop signal to a first voltage reference signal that corresponds to the threshold voltage of the low side driver (24) and generates a first comparison output signal in response. The second comparator (106) compares the feedback control loop signal to a second voltage reference signal that corresponds to the rail or supply voltage of a reference amplifier (28) of the current feedback control loop and generates a second comparison output signal in response. The register circuit includes a first flip-flop (104), a second flip-flop (108), and an enabling circuit (110). The first flip-flop (104) and the second flip-flop (108) receive a timing signal in an enabled state, such as a commutator control signal, at their clock inputs and, in response, generate a first loop control detection signal and a second loop control detection signal, respectively, in a state indicating that the current feedback control loop is in control. The first flip-flop (104) and the second flip-flop (108) receive the first comparison output signal and the second comparison output signal, respectively, and generate the first loop control detection signal and the second loop control detection signal, respectively. The first loop control detection signal is generated in a state indicating that
the current feedback control loop is out of control in response to
receiving the first comparison output signal in a state indicating
that the first reference signal is larger than the feedback
control loop signal. The second loop control detection signal is
generated in a state indicating that the current feedback control
loop is out of control in response to receiving the second
comparison output signal in a state indicating that the second
reference signal is less than the feedback control loop signal.
The enabling circuit (110) receives the first loop control
detection signal and the second loop control detection signal and
generates a loop control detection signal (120) in a state
indicating that the current feedback control loop is out of
control in response to receiving the first loop control detection
signal or the second loop control detection signal in a state
indicating that the current feedback control loop is out of
control.

Abstract: In a device array system, a failure alternate device is
fetched from another logic group of a higher redundancy
without needing a hot spare patrol, accordingly recovering
redundancy of data. In a case corresponding to a mirrored
device of RAID-1, as a logic group of a device array unit, a
construction control unit constructs a first logic group in
which the same data is stored into (N = 2) devices and
duplicated and a second logic group in which the same data
is stored into (N + 1 = 3) devices and triplicated. When
one device has failed in the first logic group having a
lower redundancy and the redundancy is lost, a failure
processing unit fetches one device from the second logic
group of a higher redundancy into the first logic group and
reconstructs data by using the fetched device as a failure
alternate device, accordingly recovering the redundancy of
the first logic group.

Abstract: A system quickly verifies that the content of an image has not been
changed since an earlier time when the content of that image was stamped.
The system consists of a stamping process that embeds stamping
information into a source image and produces a verification key, and a
verification process that extracts stamping information from a stamped
source image based on the verification key. Furthermore, the
verification process produces an image itself, from which the
verification can be readily judged visually or by use of a computer or
other display device. In the verification process, the changes in an
image can be detected and localized. The image stamping process further
includes an error diffusion process so that the effects of combining the
stamping information with the original image are not readily perceptable.
An image is safeguarded against malicious manipulations and the
proprietary rights are protected by maintaining the integrity of the
image content.

Abstract: A developer detection apparatus comprises a
detection member for detecting the developer contained
in the developer container detachably mountable on the
main body of an image forming apparatus, a biasing
member for biasing the detection member to the
developer container side, and interlocking means for
being interlocked with the open and close operations of
the opening and closing cover for attaching the
developer container to or detaching it from the main
body of the apparatus. In this developer detection
apparatus, when the opening and closing cover is in the
open state, the detection member is positioned by the
interlocking means in a location not to be in contact
with the developer container against the biasing force
of the biasing member, and when the opening and closing
cover is in the closed state, the detection member is
in contact with the developer container by the biasing
force of the biasing member. With the structure thus
arranged, the detection member and the developer
container are in contact with each other with an
extremely stable contacting force, thus making it
possible to perform a highly reliable detection of the
presence and absence of developer or its remainders.

Abstract: In a CDMA receiver, an A/D converter (10, 310,
410) over-samples an analog reception baseband signal with
a sampling clock a frequency of which is 2 n  times higher
than a chip clock, and converts it into a digital reception
baseband signal. A correlator (20, 320, 420) obtains a
correlation value between the digital reception baseband
signal and a pilot spreading code which is synchronous with
a reception timing. A phase difference detecting unit (30,
330, 430) obtains a phase difference between the digital
reception baseband signal and the reception timing based on
the correlation value. A timing controlling unit (40, 340,
440) changes the reception timing in such a manner as to
eliminate the phase difference obtained by the phase
difference detecting unit (30, 330, 430).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de commander la vitesse d'engrènement d'un embrayage dans une transmission mécanique partiellement ou entièrement automatisée, l'appareil étant sensible à certains calculs obtenus à partir des vitesses de rotation des éléments d'entrée et de sortie de l'embrayage. L'appareil comprend une commande électronique qui établit initialement une vitesse désirée pour le moteur du véhicule pendant le changement de vitesses, détermine une vitesse de déplacement d'engrènement d'une butée de débrayage de l'embrayage, et enfin, actionne les soupapes appropriées de manière à entamer l'engrènement progressif de l'embrayage. La commande électronique compare la vitesse réelle du moteur avec une première valeur. Si la valeur réelle du moteur est supérieure ou égale à la première valeur, la commande électronique compare à ce moment là les vitesses de rotation des arbres d'entrée et de sortie de l'embrayage afin de déterminer si la différence entre eux est inférieure à une seconde valeur. Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'amplitude de la seconde valeur est une valeur constante. Dans un second mode de réalisation, l'amplitude de la seconde valeur est modifiée par la commande électronique en réaction à un état de fonctionnement détecté du véhicule, tel qu'une charge au moteur. Si la différence entre les vitesses de rotation des arbres de sortie et d'entrée du véhicule est inférieure à la seconde valeur, on peut en déduire que l'embrayage est suffisamment proche d'un engrènement complet pour garantir l'interruption du processus engrènement progressif et déplacer immédiatement la butée de débrayage de sa position actuelle vers la position engrènement complet. Ainsi, la butée de débrayage peut être immédiatement déplacée de sa position actuelle vers la position d'engrènement complet.
