Title: Single phase ac power conversion apparatus
IPC: H02M7/538
Filed: 1991-06-21
Abstract: A power conversion apparatus (20) circuit includes pairs of rectifying devices (48,49) connected together at a first node, a pair of capacitors (50, 51) connected together at a second node, and pairs of controllable switching devices (53,54) connected together at a third node, each of the pairs being connected in parallel by DC bus lines (58,59). The AC power source (21) is connected between the first and second nodes and the output voltage to a load (22) is provided between the first and third nodes. The switching devices (53,54) are controlled to switch on and off at proper times to provide a controllable output voltage to the load (22) which is at the same frequency as the input voltage and which may be controlled from zero to substantially twice the peak-to-peak input voltage. The output voltage waveform provided to the load can be filtered to provide a substantially sinusoidal waveform to the load. The power conversion apparatus (20) can also function as an uninterruptible power system by connecting an energy storage device, such as a large capacitor (140) or a battery (146) across the DC bus lines (58,59), and by controlling the charging of the energy storage device when power is available for the source and discharging the storage device when the power source fails. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for resolving clusters of moving segments
Inventor: KILGER MICHAEL DIPL-ING
IPC: G06T7/254
Filed: 1993-03-17
Abstract: Method for resolving clusters of moving segments which represent a plurality of moving objects of a video sequence which partially cover one another. In a first step, clusters of moving segments are detected by positioning circumscribing rectangles around the moving segments of a video image. The size of these circumscribing rectangles is compared with a predefined upper limit and the moving segments whose circumscribing rectangles are larger than the predefined upper limit are identified as clusters of moving segments. In a second step, a leading horizontal edge, to which no circumscribing rectangle has yet been allocated, is sought in each of these clusters. A circumscribing rectangle is allocated to each edge of this type which has the same width as this edge and whose height is defined by the mean height of all the objects of the object class from a predefined set of object classes whose objects have a mean width which is closest to the width of the edge. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and device for evaluating the driving of a motor vehicle.
Inventor: BRAUN FRITZ
IPC: B60W40/08
Filed: 1994-10-26
Abstract: 1.2. Various methods and devices of this type are known, for example those which generate only shift-recommendation signals or those which, when predeterminable threshold values are exceeded during driving, emit a warning signal when an unfavourable driving mode lasts too long and which record the number of warning signals given. 2.2. In the new method, a first evaluation number relating to the traction mode of the motor vehicle is formed, a second evaluation number relating to the driving mode free of engine load is formed, a third evaluation number relating to the deceleration mode of the motor vehicle is formed and, by weighted averaging from the three individual evaluation numbers, a total evaluation number is formed. This allows the differentiated objective evaluation of the driver-influenceable driving behaviour. 2.3. The invention is used, for example, in commercial vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An implantable atrial defibrillator (30) applies
cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a human
heart in need of cardioversion after first determining if
there is an absence of potential atrial fibrillation. A
sensor (54) associated with the atria of the heart senses
activity of the heart and generates a cardiac signal and
a first detector (60) detects cardiac events from the
cardiac signal. A second detector (70) responsive to
time spans between immediately successive detected
cardiac events which are greater in duration than a
preselected interval detects for an absence of potential
atrial fibrillation. An atrial fibrillation detector
(72) detects for atrial fibrillation if the second
detector fails to detect an absence of atrial
fibrillation, and a cardiovertor (78) applies cardioverting
electrical energy to the atria when the atria are
in fibrillation.

IPC: G05F1/46
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: An output driver circuit for an integrated circuit is 
disclosed, where the output driver drives an output terminal 
with a high logic level having a voltage limited from the power 
supply voltage of the integrated circuit. The limited voltage 
is provided by applying a limited output high voltage to an 
output buffer, such that the drive signal applied to the gate of 
the pull-up transistor in the output driver is limited by the 
limited output high voltage applied to the output buffer. A 
voltage reference and regulator circuit for generating the 
limited output high voltage is also disclosed, and is based on 
a current mirror. The sum of the current in the current mirror 
is controlled by a bias current source, which may be dynamically 
controlled within the operating cycle or programmed by way of 
fuses. An offset compensating current source adds current into 
the reference leg of the current mirror to eliminate the 
development of an offset voltage in the current mirror, and the 
limited output high voltage is shifted by the threshold voltage 
of the pull-up drive transistor by way of a threshold shift 
circuit.

Abstract: If a first telecommunication terminal (101) puts a second
telecommunication terminal (104) on hold, the first terminal transmits a transport
message that reduces the bandwidth of the call to a low speed data link. When the
first terminal wishes to take the second terminal off hold, a transport message is
utilized to restore the communication bandwidth. If the first terminal calls the
second terminal, and the second communication terminal is busy, the first terminal
reduces the bandwidth of the call to a low speed data link. When the second
terminal becomes idle, it sends a message to the first terminal indicating the idle
state. The first terminal then uses a transport message to increase the communication
bandwidth and engage the second communication terminal in a communication call.

Abstract: A filling system of a packaging machine is set forth that reduces the mixing of product and air during the filling of the container with a flowable material such as low fat milk. The fill pipe of the filling system has an elliptical cross-section which provides for a reduced velocity of the flowable material entering the container while allowing for an increased production time of the packaging machine. The filling system is designed to fill a container having a cross-section defined by a plurality of sidewalls, an interior bottom engaging the sidewalls, and an open top. The fill system is especially adopted to fill containers having a rectangular cross-section. The system includes a fill pump for pumping a flowable material through a fill pipe (40) to a nozzle (80) and into a container. The nozzle includes a collar composed of a strong silicone material and a plurality of flaps composed of a flexible material such as silicone rubber. In a preferred embodiment, the flaps of the nozzle are designed to substantially conform and engage with the sidewalls (145) of a container having a rectangular cross-section, when the flaps are urged to an open position to thereby inhibit mixing of air and product as the flowable material is dispensed into the container through the nozzle and as a moving mechanism is operated to relatively move the container and nozzle from a first to a second position. The fill pipe has an elongate body, an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is in flow communication with the fill pump and may have a circular cross-section. The outlet end is in flow communication with the nozzle and has an elliptical cross-section. The cross-section of the elongate body gradually transforms from a circular cross-section at the inlet end to an elliptical cross-section at the outlet end. Preferably, the fill pipe is composed of a stainless steel material for durability and hygienic purposes.
