Patent EP-0609517-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRADEN-HARDER LISA CAROL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1993-12-03
Abstract: To archive information, a phrase or sentence describing the information, typically expressed in a natural language and conforming to the rules of a grammar (like a natural language grammar) is used to create a structured index which also conforms to the natural language grammar. The structured index has structure because the words in the index have a function and a relationship among each other as determined by the grammar. The index is combined with a location pointer of information to be cataloged, preferably multimedia information, to form a matched pair, i.e., a structured index and a segment (or a pointer to a multimedia object). The matched pair is stored in a database for later retrieval. A heuristic interface presents the multimedia information along with a template in order to prompt the user into describing the multimedia information with a string of words so that they conform to the grammar. 
     To retrieve the information, a user can use a query which is parsed according to the rules of grammar into a query structure in a way identical to or similar to the way the structured index was formed. This query structure is used to create a key which is used along with a searching algorithm to search the database of matched pairs. The search may be broadened to include words related to the words in the key. A list of matched pairs that match the key is returned. The segment of matched pairs in the list is used to locate and retrieve the archived multimedia information.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal assuming at least two stable states disposed between the two substrates. At least one of the substrates is subjected to a uniaxial aligning treatment in two directions including a normal direction and a reverse direction substantially opposite to the normal direction. The liquid crystal is placed in an alignment state such that the liquid crystal provides an apparent tilt angle ϑa which is a half of an angle between said two stable states, a tilt angle Ⓗ and a pretilt angle α with respect to a substrate surface, and forms smectic layers forming an inclination angle δ from a normal to the substrate surfaces, satisfying:        H⃝/2 < ϑa ≦ H⃝           and        H⃝ > α + δ          .

Abstract: A gamma radiation dosimeter comprises a polyester film substrate 10, of which a central circular region 12 is coated with a gamma-radiation sensitive layer 14 which is covered by an overlayer 16. The radiation-sensitive layer 14 is formed from styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer and contains 1-bromoadamantane and a leuco dye. The overlayer 16 is formed from an acrylic resin binder containing a UV-absorber. The central region 12 is surround by an annular region 18 which is divided into six equally-sized sections 18a.....18f. Each section 18a.....18f is printed in a colour which corresponds to the colour developed in the central region 14 when it has been exposed to successive increasing amounts of gamma radiation. After exposure of the device, the amount of radiation to which the device has been exposed can be determined by comparing the colour generated in the region 14 with the colours of the sections 18a.....18f. The colour of the section most closely corresponding to that of the central region indicates the dose of gamma radiation which the device, and any other object similarly exposed, has received.

Abstract: 5n7 A solid state radiation detector having an improved method of reading data from individual sensors and an x-ray machine configured with such a solid state radiation detector. At least one sensor of the solid state radiation detector is designated as a reference sensor. The output of the reference sensor is read until it reaches a predetermined threshold. Once the threshold has been reached, a timer determines when the predetermined x-ray exposure time is completed. Upon completion, the sensors of the solid state radiation sensor are read. Thus, all sensors may be read at the proper time to achieve maximum output in spite of an unknown and variable warm-up period for the x-ray tube following activation and possibly an unknown exposure time. Alternatively, once the output of the reference has reached the predetermined threshold, the output of that reference continues to be monitored to determine when the output of the reference sensor falls below a second predetermined threshold. At approximately that time, all sensors of the solid state radiation detector are read.

Abstract: A computer input-output bus system employing an analog module-presence line by which a controller can detect if no modules, one module or more than one module have been selected in the addressing phase of each operation. Each module generates a unique code related to its position in the structure of the bus and returns it to the controller, so that other errors in selection are detected. In case of a detected error, write commands are terminated prematurely by the controller before being acted on by any incorrectly-selected module. Timings of signals on the bus are fixed with respect to a constant-frequency clock signal, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Abstract: The seat belt reel has a tensioning spring (29) and a geared hub (21) which is located inside the servo drive. This has an inner geared chamber (19) and a floating planetary gear wheel (28) between the hub and the chamber. The hub also has a radial wall (20) which forms one side of the pressure chamber with the planetary wheel the other side of the pressure chamber. The safety release control (14) activates the pyrolytic charge (17) to feed gas between he radial wall and the planetary wheel and thereby drive the seat belt spindle to tension the belt. The gearing of the planetary wheel and the hub is selected so that the planetary wheel follows the radial wall at approx. half the radial speed of the wall. This allows the wall to describe nearly two revolutions before stopping behind the planetary wheel. This provides a controlled tension length for the seat belt. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a noise cancelling device including a first subtractor (5) for producing a first difference signal as a noise cancelled signal by subtracting a first pseudo signal from an input signal having a main signal and a first noise signal superposed on the main signal and a first adaptive filter (4) for processing a second noise signal correlated with the first noise signal into the first pseudo signal in accordance with filter coefficients thereof, a second subtractor (7) subtracts a second pseudo signal from the first pseudo signal to produce a second difference signal. A second adaptive filter (6) processes the second noise signal into the second pseudo signal in accordance with filter coefficients thereof. First and second power averaging circuits (8 and 9) produce first and second averages (P1 and P2) of power of the second difference signal and the first pseudo signal, respectively. A step size calculating circuit (10) calculates, from the first and the second averages, a step size for use in renewal of the filter coefficients of each adaptive filter in deciding a rate of convergence of each adaptive filter at a time. The first adaptive filter renews the filter coefficients thereof into renewed filter coefficients in accordance with the second noise signal, the first difference signal, and the step size. The second adaptive filter renews the filter coefficients thereof into renewed filter coefficients in accordance with the second noise signal, the second difference signal, and the step size. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A drop detector system and method are provided for a drop detector of the type including a drop chamber and an electro-optical sensor. The detector system detects drops passing through an optical sensing path between a detector and at least one light source. In response to the detection of a drop passing through the optical path, the detector produces an output signal. A capacitor is connected between the detector and an amplifier to block the DC component of the output signal. After amplification, the signal is passed through a low pass filter to further block signals caused by undesirable factors. The cutoff frequency of the low pass filter is controlled by a microprocessor that controls the pump that pumps liquid from the drop chamber. The detector and light source or sources are arranged to detect drops falling in the drop chamber at virtually any angle and in virtually any ambient light condition.
