Patent EP-1032042-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SASAKI YASUSHI
IPC: H02M7/04
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: In order to bring a moduled power converter into less
size and cost in the case of a structure having a lead-insert-case,
an insulated metal circuit board and a printed circuit board,
a difficulty was encountered in thinning a wiring width and an
increase in pad area for each metal wire has interfered with
a reduction in its size and cost. 
     In the present invention to cope with it, a power
converter is constructed by using a semiconductor module having
such a structure that a metal base and lead frames are adhered
to each other in a state in which an insulating adhesive sheet
is interposed therebetween, a resin-molded outer package is
adhered to the metal base with an adhesive or the like, and a
resin sealing agent is charged into the resin-molded outer
package to thereby integrally seal the resin-molded outer
package and circuit parts such as semiconductor elements
implemented therein, whereby a reduction in size and cost
thereof is realized.

Abstract: An MRI apparatus, which is intended to produce a
diffusion-weighted image in a short scan time without being
affected by a slight motion of the subject, applies an excitation
RF pulse R90 and a slice-select pulse S1, next applies an MPG
pulse MPG1, next applies an inverted RF pulse R180 and a
slice-select pulse S2, and next applies an MPG pulse MPG2.
Subsequently, the apparatus applies a read pulse RDx to one read
axis (x-direction) and a read pulse RDy to another read axis
(y-direction) so that the vector-composed read gradient has a
direction of angle  i of a virtual radial line on the slice
plane, and collects data for imaging from echoes e. The
apparatus implements once or repeats the series of pulse
application and data collection while inverting the polarity
of the read pulses RDx and RDy and varying the areas of the read
pulses RDx and RDy thereby to vary the angle  i so that the
echoes e settle, thereby collecting data necessary for image
reconstruction.

Abstract: A specific number of adjacent pixels are combined into blocks.
The tone values of the pixels in a target block are detected when the
dot on-off state is determined, and the fact that the target block does
or does not satisfy specific processing conditions is confirmed based
on the relation between the magnitudes of the tone values thus
detected. The dot on-off state is determined for the target block in
block units if the target block satisfies the processing conditions.
The conversion procedure can be rapidly performed by adopting this
approach. The dot on-off state is determined for the pixels of the
target block if the processing conditions are not satisfied. Image
quality is thereby prevented from being adversely affected. Image
quality can thus be preserved and image data rapidly converted to a
specific expression format based on the dot on-off state by performing
the conversion procedure in accordance with an appropriate method
selected based on whether the processing conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: An automated conveyor sortation and item discharge system for conveying and discharging packages at high speeds. A conveyor assembly includes an elongate crowned conveyor belt (20), which conveys parcels in a longitudinal direction defined across slider beds (18) and across discharge stations (30). The parcels can take three different routes once they reach the discharge stations. They may be all owed to pass the discharge stations and continue to be conveyed by the crowned conveyor belt (20), or they can be selectively discharged off of the crowned conveyor belt (20) and into discharge chutes (50,51) located to either side of the substantially straight path of the crowned conveyor belt. Each of the discharge stations includes a selectively indexable fork member supporting a group of idling rollers (34). The parcels have sliding contact with the sliders beds (19) and "rolling contact" with the idler rollers (34). When a package is in the desired positions, the fork member (33) can be indexed to cause some of the rollers to move upwardly and inwardly. This causes the package to tilt about the top of the crowned conveyor belt until the package contacts a withdrawal roller (40) opposing the conveyor belt from the raised rollers. The withdrawal roller draws the package into one of two chutes (50,51) for sorting purposes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is characterized by that, when
content data are distributed from an information center
via a predetermined communication line to a terminal
apparatus loaded with a recording medium recorded with
its identifier and prepaid information, the information
center manages the usable remaining amount of money in
the recording medium loaded in the terminal apparatus
and updates this usable remaining amount of money every
time content data are distributed. Further, if the
usable remaining amount of money is smaller than the
price of the content data distributed from the
information center, the information center instructs the
terminal apparatus to load another recording medium
having a usable remaining amount of money enough for
covering the content data to be distributed. Still
further, a remaining recordable capacity of a recording
medium loaded in the terminal apparatus is transmitted
from the same to the information center. The
information center compares the remaining recordable
capacity with the size of the data content to be
distributed. If the remaining recordable capacity is
smaller than the size of the content data, the
information center instructs the terminal apparatus to
load a new recording medium having a recordable capacity
enough for the content data to be distributed.

Abstract: An intermittent switching power supply circuit prevents excessive output power on a
secondary side of a circuit. An intermittent oscillator (3) is alternately switched on and
off to maintain output voltage and/or current roughly constant. An output power
monitoring circuit monitors output power from a rectifying/smoothing circuit (4,13). A
control circuit outputs a stop control signal to a control terminal (3a) of the intermittent
oscillator when the output power monitoring circuit (51) determines that the output
voltage and/or current exceeds a reference value. The protection circuit (51) and a
photocoupler receiver (39) element are connected in parallel with the control circuit.
Where a circuit error occurs and the photocoupler receiver element fails to cycle the
intermittent oscillator between active and inactive conditions for a predetermined time,
the protection circuit provides a backup which outputs a stop control signal to stop
oscillation of the intermittent oscillator element.
