Patent EP-0730242-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KRISTOL DAVID MORRIS
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1996-02-27
Abstract: A self-verifying identification card having an image area which may contain a portrait, a finger print, a retinal image, or all of these together with an image signature which is derived from scanned intensity measurements taken from the image area. In the verification process, the image is scanned and aligned with respect to reference points corresponding to the original printing process which created the card, and intensity values, their averages, or any other function are compared to information provided by the image signature. Mathematical transformations, such as a one-way hash, an encryption, a compression algorithm, or a truth table may be used to encode the image signature. Alignment markers aid in scanning the image and the image signature. The use of average values aids in reducing noise and the use of comparison functions makes the process less sensitive to variations among scanners. The verification may be done at the point of a transaction, for a standalone system, or may be referred to a centralized data base in a networked system for further inquiry. In a networked system the image signature may be stored in the database.

Abstract: The toroidal continuous variable transmission for four-wheel drive automobiles distributes a greater torque to the rear wheels than to the front wheels. The torque of the first driven gear (24) is distributed 50% each to the first output shaft (31) and the second output shaft (32). The torque of the second driven gear (25) is transmitted 100% to the second output shaft (32). Hence, when the front wheels are connected to the first output shaft (31) and the rear wheels to the second output shaft (32), the ratio between torques distributed to the front and rear wheels is about 1:3. In the event that only the front wheels should race, reducing the transmitted torque, the torque transferred to the second side gear (28) that is not racing also decreases. The rear wheels, however, are supplied with a torque from the second driven gear (25) and therefore can secure at least 50% of the input shaft torque.

Abstract: Compensation data for use in driving an array of
printing elements in a printing head are obtained by
measuring the uncompensated output value of each printing
element, calculating a target value for each printing
element, and determining a compensation value from the
difference between the measured output value and the target
value. The target values vary continuously across the
array. The compensation data are stored in a non-volatile
memory in the printing head. During printing, each printing
element is driven with an energy corresponding to the
compensation data, so that the output profile of the array
follows the profile of target values.

orthogonal modulator, gain control is executed with
the reciprocal of a control gain for the input
