Abstract: A gear train structure of an electronic watch
which is high in hand indication accuracy and which
eliminates the occurrence of stopping of the watch
due to dust, nap or the like. The electronic watch gear
train structure includes a second wheel 13 having a
minute hand attached thereto, and a braking wheel 15
for applying to the second wheel 13 a rotary torque of a
reverse direction to a direction of rotation of the
second wheel 13. The braking Wheel 15 includes a gear
adapted to mesh with the second wheel 13, a spring 21
having one end thereof fastened to a shaft of the
gear, and a balance spring frame 23 having a
circumferential wall surface for contacting with the
free end side of the spring 21. By vircute of this gear
train structure, a rotary torque of a reverse
direction to the direction of rotation of the second
wheel is always applied to it from the braking wheel 15
and therefore the backlash between the two gears is
always closed up in the reverse direction to the
direction of rotation of the second wheel.

Abstract: A testing apparatus for an optical system comprises
a plurality of markers disposed along an axis to be
aligned with the optical axis of the optical system, the
markers being axially spaced from one another and
angularly displaced relative to one another so as to
effectively define a helix about the axis. When viewed
from one end of the apparatus the markers provide
focusing and depth of field information, and some
aberrational information about the optical system.
Preferably the markers are spaced so as to correspond to
the depth of field of the lens aperture stop values of a
camera, allowing the aperture settings of the camera to
be tested.

Abstract: A latch handle (14) forming a connetecing means between an openable element (12), e.g., a
pivotable or displaceable cover, and a fixed element (13), e.g., a corner post of a platform of
load carrying vehicle,. The handle is pivotably mounted in a joinmt (15) and extends in locking

Abstract: Data which represents an animation sequence of a three dimensional object at a
series of discrete time frames is compressed by identifying characteristic features of the
object; generating a quadrangular mesh representation of the object, whereby the object is
mathematically defined by dividing it into one or more regions and hierarchically
representing each region by a mesh, each mesh including three coordinate matrices which
define the positions of nodes within the mesh; selecting from the mesh representation of the
features a set of animation parameters which are capable of specifying changes in the mesh
corresponding to the animation of the object; compressing each region mesh by applying
pyramid progressive coding to the coordinate matrices for the mesh; storing the initial
values for the animation parameters at the beginning of the animation sequence; and, at each
time frame after the beginning of the animation sequence, estimating the current values of
the parameters and compressing each parameter by estimating the change in the value of the
parameter by subtracting its stored value for the previous time frame from its current value,
quantizing the estimated difference, applying entropy coding to the quantized difference and
updating the stored value with the decoded value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing proportional sharing in a single processor
system and/or in a multi-processor system. The invention can also implement
proportional sharing in a system that executes multi-threaded computer programs.
The invention uses the metaphor of "tickets." Each process (106) in the system (100)
has a number of tickets and each ticket entitles the process (106) to use a processor
(102) for a period of a time quantum. The operating system (108) allocates the
processor(s) (102) first to the process (106) with the highest number of tickets. As
each process (106) (or thread (107)) finishes being executed for a predetermined
amount of time, the tickets of that process/thread are adjusted accordingly and a new
process (or thread) is chosen for execution. Tickets can be allocated to each
process in the system. Alternatively, tickets can be allocated to each process and
shared by all threads of the process. Alternatively, tickets can be allocated to a
group of processes and shared by all processes within the group.

Abstract: An electric vehicle is controlled to conform
its operation to that of a conventional internal-combustion-engine
powered vehicle. In some embodiments,
the charging of the batteries by the auxiliary source of
electricity and from dynamic braking is ramped in
magnitude when the batteries lie in a state of charge
between partial charge and full charge, with the
magnitude of the charging being related to the relative
state of charge of the battery. The deficiency between
traction motor demand and the energy available from the
auxiliary electrical source is provided from the
batteries in an amount which depends upon the state of
the batteries, so that the full amount of the deficiency
is provided when the batteries are near full charge, and
little or no energy is provided by the batteries when
they are near a discharged condition. At charge states
of the batteries between near-full-charge and near-full-discharge,
the batteries supply an amount of energy which
depends monotonically upon the charge state. Charging of
the batteries from the auxiliary source is reduced during
dynamic braking when the batteries are near full charge.
Control of the amount of energy returned during dynamic
braking may be performed by control of the transducing
efficiency of the traction motor operated as a generator.

Abstract: An upscaler for upscaling a source image to generate a destination
image without having to maintain the aspect ratio (ratio of the length of the
source image to that of the width) of the source image. The source image pixel
data is received at a first clock rate and the destination image is generated at a
second clock rate. The second clock rate is computed such that the frame rate
at which the source image is received is the same as the frame rate at which the
upscaled image is generated. Because of such a clock rate, the upscaler may be
implemented only a line buffer for upscaling a source image. Prior systems may
require large memories such as frame buffers for achieving similar functionality.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a radio
terminal station apparatus for an SDH network wherein the
synchronous network construction never breaks even in case
that a wired transmission line is branched. For this purpose,
in a multiplexing quality generation circuit for multiplexing
and sending out quality information of a clock, the direction
and system to multiplex the quality information are compared
with the input direction and system of the clock in the
apparatus, and, only in case of not the same system but the
opposite direction and when the priority establishment of the
input opposite to the insertion direction is a special value
defined in advance, the same quality information as the clock
in the apparatus is multiplexed. In this manner, when
determining the quality information to multiplex, by using
the priority established on the input opposite to the
direction to multiplex the quality information, even in case
of the transmission route of the data signal sequence
branching, the synchronous network of the branched route
never breaks, and further, in case that there are a plurality
of routes having clocks of high qualities in the same
direction, the degree of redundant can be kept and the
synchronous network construction never breaks.
