Abstract: A lever type electrical connector assembly (10) includes
a first connector (12) having an actuating lever (44)
pivotally movably mounted thereon . The actuating lever
includes a first cam groove (52) formed therein. A slide
member (58) is linearly movably mounted on the first
connector and includes a second cam groove (66) formed
therein. The slide member has a first cam follower projection
(70) engaged in the first cam groove (52) of the actuating
lever (44), whereby pivotal movement of the actuating lever
relative to the first connector effects linear movement of
the slide member relative to the first connector. A second
connector (14) has a second cam follower projection (36) to
be engaged in the second cam groove (66) of the slide member
(58), whereby the connectors (12,14) are mated and unmated in
response to rotation of the actuating lever (44) and
resulting translation of the slide member (58).

Abstract: An operation of an iris filter is carried out on
an original image signal representing an image, and the
degree of centralization of gradients of the original image
signal with respect to a picture element is thereby
calculated, each of picture elements constituting the image
being taken as the picture element. An image portion,
which is associated with a high degree of centralization,
in the image is detected in accordance with the calculated
degree of centralization. Image emphasis processing is
then selectively carried out on the detected image portion.
Alternatively, a morphology operation is carried out on an
original image signal Dorg by using a multiply structure
element Bi and a scale factor  λ ,  and a morphology signal
Dmor is thereby obtained. The morphology signal Dmor
represents whether each of picture elements constituting
the image is or is not the one corresponding to an image
portion, at which the original image signal Dorg fluctuates
in a spatially narrower range than the multiply structure
element Bi. Image emphasis processing is then carried out
on the original image signal Dorg and in accordance with
the morphology signal Dmor.

Abstract: A method of creating a reference table where polygon elements
and rectangular pieces are connected with each other. The processor
searches, as first searched rectangular pieces, the rectangular pieces
that include the vertexes of the target polygon element, so as to
register the element number of the target polygon element for the rows
corresponding to the first searched rectangular pieces. Then the
processor searches, as second searched rectangular pieces, the
rectangular pieces that are traversed by the edges of the target
polygon element, so as to register the element number of the target
polygon element for the rows corresponding to the second searched
rectangular pieces. The processor further registers the element
number of the target polygon element for the rows corresponding to
the rectangular pieces that exist within the target polygon element, so
that the element number of the target polygon element is registered
with all of the rectangular pieces overlapping the target polygon
element. The processor repeatedly carries out the above-mentioned
registration process for all of the polygon element, and thereby, the
reference data table is obtained.

Abstract: A manual transmission capable of preventing a miss shift
from a forward gear stage to a reverse gear stage during forward
running in a compact design and with a higher degree of freedom
for the design. The manual transmission comprises a main case,
a selector arranged for a pivotal movement and a sliding movement
associated with a selecting operation and a shifting operation,
respectively, shift forks selectively engageable with the selector
for transmission through a pivotal movement of the selector, a
reverse lock cam mechanism attached to the main case, and the like.
When the transmission lever is shifted from a fifth speed position
to a reverse position, a pin of the selector is moved from a fifth
speed corresponding position to a reverse corresponding position,
associated with the shifting operation. In this event, as a cam
of the reverse lock cam mechanism comes into contact with the pin,
the pin is prevented from shifting to the reverse corresponding
position.

Abstract: An oil level/condition sensor includes a first level sensing tube (32), a
common tube (34), and a second level sensing tube (36). The tubes (32, 34,
36) are concentric to each other around a central axis (38). Moreover, the
tubes (32, 34, 36) are separated by plastic spacers (40) which insulate the
level sensing tubes (32, 36) from the common tube (34) and maintain the
concentricity of the tubes (32, 34, 36). Installed in the end of the first level
sensing tube (32) is a coupling/plug (44) and disposed around the
coupling/plug (44) is a first condition sensing tube (46). The coupling/plug (44)
insulates the first level sensing tube (32) from the first condition sensing tube
(46) and prevents fluid communication therebetween. A second condition
sensing tube (54) is attached to the second level sensing tube (36) around the
common tube (34) and the first condition sensing tube (46). A ring-shaped
insulator (56) electrically isolates the second condition sensing tube (54) from
the second level sensing tube (36). The multiple tube configuration provides
increased sensing surface area without increasing the length of the sensor (20)
or dramatically increasing the overall diameter of the sensor package. As
such, the increased sensing surface area increases the signal strength and the
accuracy of the sensor (20). Thus, the sensor (20) is used in relatively shallow
oil pans (14) where the length of the sensor (20) is constrained by the depth of
the oil pan (14).
