Patent EP-0827008-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PARK JOO-SANG
IPC: G02F1/1339
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: In a flat-panel display device, particularly, a liquid
crystal display (LCD), spacers (55) which locate between
upper and lower substrates (51) of the LCD to maintain the
gap between two substrates to a predetermined distance, are
formed using a laser transcription method. A donor film
including a base film, a light absorption layer and a
transcription layer is put on the lower substrate (51) of
the LCD, in which a transparent substrate (52), a
transparent electrode (53) and an alignment layer (54) are
stacked in sequence and then a laser beam is transcribed
thereonto to form spacers having uniform height and width.
A corresponding method is used to manufacture a plasma
display panel having barrier walls.

Abstract: In the image decoding apparatus, the maximum absolute
value of difference values of adjacent pixel data of each
pixel block of image data is obtained as a feature of the
image data. An optimum quantizing coefficient is selected
for the maximum absolute value of the difference value. With
the selected quantizing coefficient, the maximum absolute
value is quantized. When the difference values of adjacent
pixel data of each pixel block of image data concentrate in
the vicinity of "0", they are quantized with a smaller
quantizing coefficient. Thus, with an optimum quantizing
coefficient, each pixel block of image data can be quantized.
Consequently, quantizing errors can be reduced.

Abstract: A shoe press belt has both sides coated with a resin layer and one or both layers
with side edge portions softer than the middle portion of the resin layer. The hardness
of the side edge portions may first decrease stepwise laterally outwardly from the middle
portion to a section which overlies the edge of the shoe, and then increase stepwise
laterally outwardly to the edge of the belt. A first stepwise reduction in hardness may
begin laterally inward of the edge of the wet paper sheet and extend laterally outwardly
to the edge of the wet paper sheet, where a second stepwise reduction begins that extends
laterally outwardly beyond the edge of the shoe. Laterally outwardly of the second
reduction, a stepwise increase in hardness extends to the edge of the belt. Alternatively,
each side edge portion may be of a single hardness, less than the hardness of the middle
portion, and each side edge portion overlies one of the side edges of the shoe.

Abstract: A signal-processing method and system for a telecommunications
switch (10) that supports a number of individually addressable telephones
(14, 16 and 18) including transmitting ring signals to telephones that
are determined to be in an inadvertent off-hook condition. The telecommunications
switch is configured to transmit a first notification ring signal (64)
upon detecting that a particular telecommunications line (20, 22 and 24) is in
a condition that indicates that the associated telephone is in the inadvertent
off-hook condition. The first ring signal induces a ring condition that
preferably is uniquely identifiable as indicating that the phone has been left
off-hook. A second notification ring signal (70) is transmitted if the phone is
returned to the on-hook condition and an incoming call is directed to the
telephone. Preferably, the second ring signal induces a uniquely identifiable
ring condition indicating that an incoming call is directed to an off-hook
telephone. Optionally, a third off-hook notification signal may be transmitted
to the phone to generate an audible alert by means of a speaker (44) in the
earpiece of the telephone.

the Type II superconductor at a temperature for realizing a Type II superconducting
state to pin all the penetrating magnetic flux as it is in the

Abstract: A controller instructs a spindle motor to start
rotating, and instructs a servo control section to
start a focus servo control. When a light beam crosses
information tracks on an optical disc with a rotation
of the optical disc, an amplitude indicating signal
generating section detects changes in the amplitude of
a readout signal output from an optical pickup. A disc
type identifying section identifies types of optical
discs having different track pitches of the information
tracks in starting the rotation of each optical disc
based on the peak value and bottom value or the
amplitude of the readout signal. Consequently, the
types of optical discs having different information
recording densities, particularly different track
pitches, can be identified at an early stage without
waiting for reproduction of information recorded on
each optical disc. It is therefore possible to shorten
the time for starting an optical disc device, or
prevent an increase in the starting time.

Abstract: A ROM constituting a variable length coding
table of 2 picture element range is provided. A motion
vector within the range of 2 picture elements is given to
the ROM to provide a VLC code corresponding to the motion
vector within the range of 2 picture elements. In a
calculation circuit, assuming that the value of a motion
vector within the range of 4 picture elements is X, a
quotient Y and a remainder Z are obtained by the division
of X by 2. The quotient Y is supplied to the ROM whose
output is added the remainder Z at an additional circuit
to obtain a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector
lying within the range of 4 picture elements. This is
equivalent to the coding at the variable length coding for
four-picture element range. By sending a flag indicating
whether a motion vector range is 2 picture elements or 4
picture elements, the motion vector is correctly
reproduced from the VLC code. By the use of the single
table ROM, a motion vector within the range of 2 picture
elements and 4 picture elements can be coded to reduce the
load imposed on the hardware.

Abstract: The invention herein described is fitted to a two wheeled vehicle commonly known as a
"scooter", characterized by being equipped by two small diameter wheels, plastic body
work and a tube chassis designed so as to allow the driver to adopt a position similar to
that adopted when driving a car. Hence more confortable than an ordinary motorcycle.
Nonetheless unlike ordinary scooters this two-wheeled vehicle is equipped with
wrap-around structure which  forms a true shell for the driver and possible passenger.
The shell is fully adjustable to provide the user with variable degrees of protection
according to his requirements.   
     The structure forms a true shell around the seats which are accessible through side
doors on both sides. Both side doors have large openings on the lower section which
enable the driver to extend his legs to the road surface, when the vehicle comes to a
stop as on an ordinary scooter. 
     In particular, whilst the doors are removable and maybe laid away, the canopy can
either be removed or  folded  out of sight into the luggage compartment ( like a
convertible)  without having to be disassembled, thus being always ready should the
driver wish to re-cover the scooter. 
     The present invention intends to overcome the disadvantages of an ordinary scooter
providing the driver and possible passenger of the motorcycle with the maximum
protection possible from bad weather and pollution.
