Abstract: The invention relates to a covering construction in a flexible device for covering heaped or stacked material, in particular for the aerobic treatment of organic-containing waste, for example residual waste or domestic refuse, in a compost heap. The covering construction has a cover which comprises a number of support elements which can be filled with at least one fluid and are connected to one another at least in part, and also at least one waterproof and gas-permeable sheet which is connected to the support elements. The device forms an erected state and a lowered state, depending on whether the support elements are filled or not. The sheet covers the material and undergoes a raising and lowering process via the filling and emptying of the support elements.

Abstract: Non-visible objects which differ in their physical properties from their surroundings by association with a variable strength magnetic field may be detected by a suitable array of Hall effect sensors which can be moved relative to the object in question. By analyzing the signals from the plurality of the sensors in the array, the position of the object can be deduced relative to the array and the array moved to enable a machining guide thereon to be aligned with the non-visible object. The system is of particular value in locating apertures (2) in wing spars (1) when attempting to fix the skin (3) of the wing on to them where it is important to be able to locate the correct point at which to drill a hole through the skin (3) to coincide with the hole (2) in the spar. By locating a magnet (4) relative to the hole to identify the hole magnetically and using an array of Hall sensors (12) in a base with an aperture (14), it is possible to shift the array (10) so that the aperture (14) is precisely aligned with the non-visible hole (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to the control of an
orienting/positioning system comprising sensor means (1)
and actuator means (41, 42, 43) for controlling an
orienting and/or positioning action of a manipulating
device, the action being adapted to modify the input space
of the sensor device. Thereby the following steps are
carried out:
     (S1) Evaluating pre-action output information of said
sensor means (1) in order to detect the position of a
manipulating device in the input space of the sensor means
(1);   (S2) Deciding on a targeted post-action position of said
manipulating device(2) in the input space of said sensor
means (1);   (S3) Defining a command for the actuator means (41, 42,
43) by mapping any deviation of the pre-action position
and the targeted post-action position in the input space
of the sensor means (1) to actuator control coordinates
using a predefined mapping function;   (S4) Controlling the actuator means (41, 42, 43)
according to the defined command in order to carry out an
orienting/positioning action by said manipulating device;   (S5) Detecting the real post-action position of the
manipulating device(2) in the input space of said sensor
means (1); and   (S6) adapting the mapping function used in step S3 based
on any difference of the real post-action position and the
targeted post-action position of the manipulating device
in the input space of the sensor means (1) in order to
carry out an incremental adaptive learning of the mapping
function,    
wherein steps S1 to S6 are cyclically repeated at least
once using the respectively adapted mapping.

Abstract: A control circuit activates a TV tuner to start reception
of TV broadcast when a user selects a TV viewing mode.
Subsequently, the control circuit monitors a remaining quantity
of a battery, and instructs an LCD display to display such a
message that the remaining quantity of the battery is less when
the remaining quantity of the battery is less than 2/3. Then,
the control circuit cuts the supply of an electric power to a
mobile phone radio communication circuit when the user selects
an operation mode to proceed to a power cut mode. When the control
circuit detects that a TV broadcast program is shifted to a CM
message, the control circuit turns on the supply of the electric
power to the mobile phone radio communication circuit. Next,
the control circuit makes an inquiry about whether or not there
is an e-mail incoming call to a server. When there is the e-mail
incoming call, the control circuit starts reception of the e-mail,
and instructs the LCD display to display such a message that
there is the e-mail incoming call.

IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2004-08-12
Abstract: A method for performing visual calibrations on a color printer. For calibrating relative intensities of colors, a predetermined image is printed by an image output apparatus. A user then selects a bias color and an intensity from a reference. The image output apparatus then adjusts its print engine based on the selection. For density calibration an image is printed, preferably once with a light background, and once with a dark background. The user then selects an adjustment after visually comparing the printed image with a reference image and adjusts the printer by noting whether details are missing from the printed image on the light background image or the dark background image. 
     A method for printing outside the gamut by anticipating where monitor primaries will map and the placement of desired printer primaries at that place. A relationship is established between a printer (B2Ax) profile that anticipates the input (A2Bx) profile and maps them in a simplistic manner. The mapping is used to create an output ICC profile (B2Ax) mapping that includes mappings for colors out of the gamut. First, the most important color mappings (RGBCMY, etc.) are established and these mappings are then used to determine the outside the gamut properties of the ICC output transform. The inside the gamut transforms remain the same as classic rendering. Another aspect of the present invention is to make run-time changes to the printer profile to map the image input primaries to optimal output primaries, thus enabling a printer to be mapped for several different types of monitors or input primaries. 
     Artifact reduction is achieved by altering the growth of sub-cells for each super-cell in either a pre-determined or random manner. The means of alteration is selected such that the sum of all the groups equals a halftone value. In another embodiment, the random group is selected by using predetermined patterns which are different among sub-cells, such as different means of constructing a dot. Preferably a different pattern is used in adjacent super-cells. In yet another embodiment, the method selects sub-cells patterns that are not aligned on the super-cell boundaries.

respective signature created by the possessor (B) of the private key

key ( X     B   ) of which was used in creating the
signature. Revelation of the keystone ( k ) renders the signature

between any number of parties, with the exchanged signatures being
ambiguous signatures until revelation of the initial signer's keystone.
