Title: Technique et dispositif connexe permettant d'incliner un substrat avant electrodeposition
Inventor: DORDI YEZDI N
IPC: H05K3/24
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système de déposition électrolytique. A cette fin, on utilise une technique selon laquelle une couche de départ formée sur un substrat est immergée dans une solution électrolytique. Selon un aspect de l'invention, le substrat qui doit recevoir un traitement d'électrodéposition est incliné au moment où il pénètre dans la solution d'électrolyte, le but de cette opération étant de limiter la rétention ou la formation de bulles d'air dans la solution électrolytique entre le substrat et le porte-substrat. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, un dispositif pour électrodéposition comprend une cellule, un porte-substrat, et un actionneur. Outre qu'il déplace le porte-substrat dans les directions x et z, cet actionneur peut incliner ledit substrat. Un autre aspect encore de l'invention concerne une technique consistant à déplacer un ménisque formé par la solution électrolytique sur la surface d'un substrat. Cette technique favorise l'interaction entre le ménisque de la solution électrolytique et le substrat immergé dans cette dernière.

Abstract: Systems and methods for registering hemispheric images obtained using a fisheye lens for panoramic viewing, relating to spatial alignment and colour balancing of complement half-side images derived from the hemispheric images. The systems and methods for spatial alignment determine the displacement of the digitized recorded images using a single translation and rotation model of distortion, which further evaluates the centre of projection, and the extent of translation and rotation. The system and method for colour balancing iteratively increase (or decrease) the values of pixels near the edge (discontinuity) between the two half-sides of an image, each time taking into consideration the average difference of pixel colour across a smaller strip of the edge near the pixel. This invention removes the colour differential but does not remove any detail underlying the features of the image.

Abstract: Provided is a turn-by-turn on-vehicle navigation system
capable of providing drivers with any helpful and appropriate
information to free them from their various anxieties caused as
a result of relatively less information on a display. When the
vehicle's current position is located on a recommended route after
completion of a certain guidance (S203, S205), the driver is
determined as properly driving the vehicle as expected, and
receives a message telling that he/she is on the right track (S206).
With such a message, the driver does not feel an anxiety often
occurring at making a turn at the intersection. Further, when
the vehicle passes by a predetermined landmark located in a close
range, any supplemental information is provided for the location
(S210). Such information removes the driver's uneasiness when
he/she keeps going straight along the same road for a long time.
Still further, at the destination, information about the area is
provided (S211). Thereby, the driver can feel secure even he/she
is new to the area.

Abstract: Upon a drop in engine rotation speed, a direct current voltage which
periodically changes is applied to coils of pole magnets 18u - 18w, thereby
causing an increase or reduction in the rotation speed of the second
flywheel 21. When the rotation speed of a first flywheel 11 matches the
rotation speed of the second flywheel 21, a current is applied to a coil 24 to
displace the second flywheel 21 to the first flywheel 11 side such that the
second flywheel 21 is connected to the first flywheel 11 via dog clutches 26.
Thereby, the shock which is produced upon connection of a second
flywheel is reduced, and slippage occurring during connection of a second
flywheel is also reduced.
