Patent EP-1041270-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHIGIHAMA SHINGO
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: A system for diagnosing evaporation control system failures repeatedly introduces
pressure, positive or negative, into the evaporation control system (29, 34, 30, 31, 32, 32a,
33, 35) and closes up it hermetically a plurality of times (for example two times), and detects
changes in internal pressure in the evaporation control system. An average value of the
internal pressure changes is compared to a threshold value so as to judge whether there is
leakage of fuel vapors of the evaporation control system. When a difference between the
internal pressure change is greater than a specified value, the evaporation control system
failure diagnosis is interrupted.

Abstract: A powertrain has an engine, multi-range transmission and a
final drive gearing. The transmission includes an input planetary gear set, the
carrier of which is driven by the engine, for providing a power split between
the sun gear and the ring gear. The sun gear and ring gear both are connected
with respective transfer gear members. The gear members are connected to
respective members of a continuously variable transmission unit (CVU) and to
selectively engageable clutch mechanisms. The clutch mechanisms provide
selective drive connections with an output transfer gear mechanism that is
drivingly connected with the final drive gearing. The CVU is controlled to
establish a variable drive ratio between the transfer gear members connected
with the sun gear and the ring gear. Range changes in the powertrain occur at
synchronous points of operation in the CVU in a manner to provide three
forward ranges and a reverse range.

Abstract: A method generates a detail directed hierarchical representation of a distance
field that is enclosed by a bounding box. The method begins by partitioning the
bounding box enclosing the distance field into cells. Each cell has a size
corresponding to detail of the distance field and a location with respect to the
bounding box. Next, the distance field is sampled to obtain a set of values of the
distance field for each cell. A method for reconstructing the portion of the
distance field enclosed by the cell is specified for each cell. The location and
size, the set of values, and the method for reconstructing for each cell are stored
in a memory to enable reconstruction of the distance field by applying the
reconstruction methods of the cells to the values.

Abstract: A pin header has pin contacts (12)(12A,12B) insert-molded in a parallelepiped
insulating housing (13), and penetrating it to form upper and lower
rows. Each contact is integrally composed of a plugging rod (14)
extending horizontally and forwardly of the housing, a leg (15)(15A,15B)
and a generally straight rearward extension (16). The rod (14) has a rear
end exposed rearward from the housing and bent downward and rectangularly
to provide the leg. Each leg has its lower end continuing to the
extension (16) to be surface-mounted on a printed circuit board. Only the
legs (15A) from upper row have each an intermediate step (19) between it
and the extension, this step formed by rectangularly bending each leg outwardly
at first and then downwardly. These legs (15A) are embedded in
the housing (13), with those steps (19) being exposed together with extensions
(16). The upper contacts will not unintentionally move when insert
molding the housing, protecting it from warping, improving coplanarity of
extensions, and rendering the rods (14) resistant to torsion or a bending
stress, thereby enabling manufacture of thinned pin headers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimal handling of high bandwidth streaming data in a computer system minimizes computational activities to achieve maximal performance. This performance improvement is accomplished by minimizing the amount of memory copying and also by minimizing the number of allocation and deallocations of objects which occur. A word wise search is performed on an MPEG-2 stream. A pre-parser is used to create a secondary datastream to parallel a MPEG2 datastream during decoding and rendering. The parallel secondary datastream describes the structure of the MPEG2 datastream in an efficient and easy-to-use manner and helps to eliminate duplication of the paser task in various decoder stages. A two-step motion prediction for MPEG2 interpolation case-D will yield visual artifacts if not corrected.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et des techniques qui permettent de réaliser un reprofilage allongé de la cornée. Selon les techniques de l'invention, un système d'ablation à balayage laser comprend des modules d'adaptation pour adapter des données d'entrée relatives à des mesures de réfraction ou topographiques à un modèle ellipsoïde à trois (3) variables, ce qui permet d'effectuer des évaluations pré- et post-opératoires d'une cornée. Un profil d'ablation allongé désiré est déterminé sur la base d'une forme ellipsoïdale allongée désirée. Conformément aux principes de l'invention, le modèle ellipsoïde sphéro-équivalent présente seulement trois degrés de liberté (et non pas quatre comme pour une technique biconique classique) pour définir un profil d'ablation désiré en fournissant une correction de la vision à long terme extrêmement précise et prévisible. Pour arriver à un modèle ellipsoïde présentant seulement trois degrés de liberté, une valeur d'asphéricité QSEQ sphéro-équivalent (SEQ) est générée. La valeur QSEQ d'excentricité sphéro-équivalente (SEQ) remplace deux degrés de liberté (c.-à-d. des excentricités) dans un système de modélisation biconique autrement classique, en laissant seulement trois (3) variables déterminer l'ellipsoïde le plus adapté à une surface cornéenne, afin de permettre une modélisation ellipsoïdale allongée précise d'une cornée, et de limiter les résultats à un astigmatisme normal pouvant être corrigé par des sphérocylindres optiques.

Abstract: An OLED display device (20; 62; 82) and a method of fabricating
the device utilize a patterned layer of conductive pads (26, 28 and 30; 64,
66 and 68) formed over a substrate (22) to fabricate a cathode layer (32, 34,
36 and 38; 70) without the need to subsequently pattern the-cathode layer to
create individually addressable cathodes. The design of the OLED display
device is such that the cathode layer is positioned below the anode layer (42).
The OLED display device may be configured to emit light through the substrate
or through the top layer, i.e., the anode layer. In a first embodiment,
the conductive pads have sharp edges that effectively pattern the cathode
layer when it is formed over the pads. In a second embodiment, the conductive
pads do not include sharp edges. In this embodiment, the cathode
layer is made of a composite material, which includes cathode components
and non-conducting components. The composite material allows the resulting
cathode layer to have the desired characteristics to effectively inject
electrons vertically into the EL region (40) of the device, while limiting lateral
conduction between the conductive pads.
