Abstract: Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verstellen von dem Ventiltrieb einer Brennkraftmaschine zugeordneten Stellern, eine Speichereinrichtung mit einem Computerprogramm zur Durchführung eines solchen Verfahrens sowie ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer Brennkraftmaschine. 
     Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Verstellen von Stellern des Ventiltriebs einer Brennkraftmaschine mit wenigstens zwei Steller, findet insbesondere bei Brennkraftmaschinen von Kraftfahrzeugen Verwendung. Den verstellbaren Elementen des Ventiltriebs ist jeweils ein Steller zugeordnet. Dieser wird zur Durchführung von Stellvorgängen von einer Fremdkraftquelle mit Energie versorgt. Die Stellvorgänge dienen dem Einsteuern einer vorgegebenen Sollstellung bezüglich einer Referenzposition. Gemäß der Erfindung wird die von der Fremdkraftquelle bereitgestellte Energie erfasst. Sollen mehrere Stellvorgänge zugleich durchgeführt werden, wird überprüft, ob die bereitgestellte Energie ausreicht, die Stellvorgänge gleichzeitig, also parallel zueinander durchzuführen. Ist dies nicht der Fall, so werden gemäß der Erfindung Stellvorgänge zu einer späteren Ausführung zurückgestellt.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to let users easily and properly select desired imaging modes. A control section controls an image processing section to display icons indicative of imaging modes onto a monitor. When an icon is specified, the control section reads setting values corresponding to the imaging mode corresponding to the specified icon from a setting value storage section. The control section controls the image processing section to generate a reference image based on the read setting values and displays the generated reference image on the monitor. Namely, specifying an icon allows the user to look up a reference image which would have been obtained if a scene appearing on a stored image already taken were imaged in a specified imaging mode. This novel configuration allows the user to easily and properly confirm the effects of a selected imaging mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods that provide images of an environment to the viewpoint of a display. The systems and methods define a mapping surface at a distance from the image source and display that approximates the environment within the field of view of the image source. The system methods define a model that relates the different geometries of the image source, display, and mapping surface to each other. Using the model and the mapping surface, the systems and methods tile images from the image source, correlate the images to the display, and display the images. In instants where two image sources have overlapping fields of view on the mapping surface, the systems and methods overlap and stitch the images to form a mosaic image. If two overlapping image sources each have images with unique characteristics, the systems and methods fuse the images into a composite image.

Abstract: A numerical controller making it easy to prepare and alter sequence programs. Grouping is made according to signal type and/or signal address. Address tables AT1-1, AT2-2 are provided in which top physical addresses for respective group numbers are stored for every sequence program. The program includes object codes, each constituted by an instruction code, a group number, and an offset address. When the object code is read in, a top physical address for the instruction group number is read out from a table corresponding to the program. The offset address is added to the top physical address to determine a physical address of a signal and perform processing for the instruction code. Since the address tables are provided for every program to have different physical addresses, it is enough to prepare only one program for a common portion of a plurality of programs, and enough to alter only the address tables even if hardware is subject to alteration.
