Patent EP-0864700-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RAUTAVUORI JANNE
IPC: E03C1/05
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: The object of the invention is a shower arrangement, the operation of which is controlled
by a position-sensitive sensor (7). The sensor (7) detects objects in two different
distance ranges, that is in a proximal field (8) and in a remote field (9). A
control block (10) stops the water inlet upon an object in the remote field (9) leaving
the remote field or upon the sensor receiving another perception from an object in
the proximal field. The shower arrangement according to the invention is easy to use
and decreases the waste discharge of water.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for conferencing two or mores calls in an expandable telecommunications system. The system may include a plurality of nodes connected by an inter-nodal network such that the nodes communicate with each other by exchanging variable-length packets of information. At least one node in the system contains digital signal processing circuitry capable of conferencing the voice information from three or more callers interfaced with the system. Packets containing voice information from each conference participant are preferably transmitted via the inter-nodal network to the node having the requisite digital signal processing circuitry. This node performs a conferencing function on that information, packets the resulting conferenced information and transmits those packets via the inter-nodal network to the nodes interfaced with the conference participants.

Abstract: The alarm responds to sounds made by motor vehicles and generates a signal indicating their presence. It contains at least one sensor (10) for receiving the vehicle noise and a signal processor (11) with at least two separate channels (111, 112) with a bandpass filter (20, 21), rectifier and integrator (25, 26). The parameters of one channel are tuned to the vehicle noise. Those of the other channel are tuned to event noise partially overlapping the vehicle noise, e.g. gusts of wind. Decision logic (18, 19) is fed back to an estimation filter (16, 17) in the first channel to influence its operation, parameters and decision thresholds. Alarm logic (20) generates the alarm signal using the degree of confidence output by the decision logic.

Abstract: An arc fault detector (29) of the type which generates a trip signal when a time attenuated accumulation of pulses produced each time an arc is struck reaches a selected value, includes a pulse conditioner (105) which discriminates against false trips induced by phenomena such as tungsten bulb burn out and turn on of a cold tungsten bulb (101) controlled by a dimmer (111). The pulse conditioner (105) includes a zener diode (107) which limits the amplitude of the pulses applied to the integrator, and stretches all of the pulses to reduce the variation in pulse duration. The latter can be accomplished by a peak detector (109) which stretches pulses which reach the zener limit to a duration of at least about a half cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning and navigating
an autonomous vehicle (102,310) allow the vehicle
(102,310) to travel between locations. A first position
estimate (112) of the vehicle (102,310) is derived from
satellites (132-170,200-206) of a global positioning
system (100A) and/or a pseudolite(s) (105). The
pseudolite(s) (105) may be used exclusively when the
satellites (132-170,200-206) are not in view of the
vehicle (102,310). A second position estimate (114) is
derived from an inertial reference unit (904) and/or a
vehicle odometer (902). The first and second position
estimates are combined and filtered to derive a third
position estimate (118). Navigation of the vehicle
(102,310) is obtained using the position information
(414), obstacle detection and avoidance data (416), and
on board vehicle data (908,910).

Abstract: A modeling method and a simulation method enable a circuit
board to undergo modeling without deterioration of simulation precision
while describing with no matrix shape. A circuit simulator analyzes
power/ground noise of a circuit board with single current change source. A
process regards the circuit board as an aggregate of thin doughnut boards
of concentric circle shape with the current change source as the center,
subsequently, approximating the aggregate of the doughnut boards to be
an aggregate of rectangular boards with respective circumferences of the
doughnut boards as widths and respective cut-lengths of the same as
lengths, then forming respective transmission line models taking
respective rectangular boards of the aggregate of the rectangular boards
as the transmission line, thus connecting respective transmission line
models in series to make it a simulation model of the circuit board.

substrate with a polyurethane emulsion, heat gellable polyurethane
emulsion having a specific modulus of elasticity is employed as the
polyurethane emulsion, and either of following methods (1) and (2) is also
employed.
   (1) before impregnation of the polyurethane emulsion, the fibrous
substrates are pretreated with a surfactant having a function of
inhibiting adhesion between fibers and polyurethane   (2) in addition to the above modulus of elasticity, the polyurethane
emulsion has a specific α dispersion temperature, the fibrous substrates
are composed of microfine fiber-forming fibers, and after coagulation
of polyurethane emulsion, the fibers are converted to microfine fibers.

Abstract: A coder of the present invention is adapted to reproduce
a signal of quality at a low coding rate even when a video or
audio signal continuously supplied thereto should be coded in
real time. The coder includes: a quantizer for quantizing
the input signal; an encoder for encoding the output of the
quantizer and outputting coded data; and a quantization
parameter supply circuit for supplying a quantization parameter
to the quantizer. If a scene change detector has detected
a scene change, the supply circuit supplies a quantization
parameter, which has been determined adaptively to a scene
newly appearing after the scene change, to the quantizer.
Otherwise, the supply circuit supplies a quantization parameter,
which has been determined at such a value as to stabilize
a coding rate, to the quantizer. In this manner, an
average coding rate can be controlled and coding processing
can be performed adaptively to individual scenes.

Abstract: An enhanced strength screw-type, self-tapping masonry
anchor for fastening a fixture or other attachment to
masonry (11) in which a hole (10) is drilled to receive the anchor.
The anchor is provided with a shank (13) having a root section (13R)
surrounded by at least one helical male cutting thread (14;15)
whose crest diameter ex-ceeds the diameter of the hole
whereby when the anchor is screwed into the hole, the
cutting thread then cuts a female thread in the bank (10B) of
the hole to mechanically retain the anchor therein to
impart to the anchor a holding power that resists axial
pull-out forces. Formed on the root in the helical land
between successive convolutions of the thread is a ridge (16)
that is raised above the root to define a compacting zone (z)
between the ridge and the bank of the hole. Particulate
debris produced by the cutting action is discharged into
the land and forced into the compacting zone to create a
dense mass that wedges the anchor in the hole and thereby
enhances the holding power of the anchor.

Filed: 1999-06-30
Abstract: In tetrahedral interpolation suitable for data
conversion implemented by digital computations, when
the unit rectangular hexahedron is a regular hexahedron,
no complicated multiplication is required, and the
computation volume can be greatly reduced. However,
when the unit rectangular hexahedron is not a regular
hexahedron, since a complicated multiplication is
required, the computation volume increases considerably.
To avoid this, after the grid spacing is set (S1), X-u',
Y-v', and Z-w' tables for obtaining the positions of an
input value with respect to normalized grid points are
prepared (S2 - S4). Subsequently, image data is input
(S5), and u', v', and w' corresponding to the input
image data are obtained using the prepared tables (S6).
The relationship among u', v', and w' is determined
(S7), and data-converted image data is calculated using
an equation corresponding to the determination result
(S8).
