Patent EP-1249616-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DEBLANC JAMES J
IPC: F04D29/28
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: Blower designs for vented enclosures include an impeller (500) having a plurality
of blades (510). The impeller includes a plurality of blades pivotably (520) coupled to an
impeller body. The blades pivot to enable operation in one of a closed and an open state.
Air flow between blades is substantially restricted when the blades are in the closed state.
Air flow between the blades is permitted when the blades are in an open state. In one
embodiment, the pivotable couplings (520) are spring loaded to maintain the blades in the
closed state when the impeller rotational speed is below a threshold range. The blades
pivot to the open state when the rotational speed exceeds the threshold range.

Abstract: The apparatus greatly reduces the registered data
amount and the verification computation amount required
for user verification, in comparison with the verification
using image information itself, and also decreases the
false verification rate. The apparatus divides a
biometric information image into cells, and extracts
minutia information as well as cell basic information from
the individual cells (S13 and S14). After comparison of
direction information of the individual cells of the
registered data with direction information of the
individual cells of the to-be-verified data, thereby
aligning the registered fingerprint image and the
to-be-verified fingerprint image (S15 through S17), the
apparatus compares the minutia information of
corresponding cells between the registered data and the
to-be-verified data to make a match/non-match decision
(S20 through S22, and S24). Such an apparatus is
applicable to systems that employ pattern matching type
image verification to perform user verification utilizing
biometric information such as fingerprints, palm prints,
blood vessel patterns, iris patterns, and facial images.

Abstract: This invention is to simplify operations for
photographing a subject and acquiring radio tag
information. In this invention, when a radio tag
information registration photographing mode is
selected, and it is detected that the photographing
button (shutter button (1)) is pressed halfway, a radio tag
detector (105) generates a radio wave that excites a radio
tag (103,106,107). Whether a response from the radio tag is received
is then determined. When a response is received from
the radio tag, and a radio tag ID can uniquely be
decided, a status "photographing OK" is indicated.
When the photographing button (1) in the half-pressed state
is pressed completely, image sensing processing is
executed. Radio tag information and obtained image
information are stored in an information format, in
which they are paired.

Abstract: A robot automatically moving a distal end portion of a robot arm to an arbitrary target position, and method therefor. A camera mounted at the distal end portion of the robot arm captures an image of an object. A position R 1  corresponding to the target Q is specified in the image. Assuming that the number of pixels between the position R 1  and the center of an image screen is equal to N 1 , a distance W 1  observed at a distance L 0  at the time of calibration is determined as W 1 =C 0 ·N 1 , where C 0  is a transformation coefficient. The camera is moved by the distance W 1  in an X axis direction toward the target Q. A position R 2  corresponding to the target W is specified in the image. The number, N 2 , of pixels between the position R 2  and the screen center is determined. A motion vector q is determined from C 0 , N 1 , N 2  and L 0 . The camera is moved according to the motion vector q. The robot is positioned at a position where the camera center is opposed to the target Q at the distance L 0 . By specifying the target Q in the image, a motion to the specified target Q position is automatically realized.
