Patent EP-1220580-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKATSUKA HIROSHI
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive device for one or more
series-connected cold cathode fluorescent lamps having an electrical
terminal at each end. The drive device has a piezoelectric transformer for
converting by means of the piezoelectric effect a primary ac input applied to
primary electrodes to a secondary ac output, which is removed from
secondary electrodes; a drive arrangement for applying the primary ac input
to the primary electrodes; and a brightness control circuit for controlling
brightness. The brightness control circuit detects the
phase difference between the secondary ac output and the primary ac input.
When the detected phase difference is greater than a specified phase
difference, the drive arrangement reduces the power of the primary ac input
applied to the primary electrodes. If the detected phase difference is less
than the specified phase difference, the drive arrangement increases the
power of the primary ac input applied to the primary electrodes.

Abstract: Conductive paste (50) containing tin particles (61) and
silver particles (62) is packed in a substantially cylindrical via
hole (24) formed in a thermoplastic resin film (23) that interposes
between conductor patterns (22) and is hot-pressed from both sides.
When the metal particles contained in the conductive paste (50) are
sintered to form a unified conductive compound (51), the volume of
the conductive paste (50) shrinks. Synchronously, the resin film
(23) around the via-hole (24) protrudes into the via-hole (24).
Therefore, the shape of the side wall on the cross-section of the
conductive compound (51) provides an arch shape, and a side wall
(51a) adjacent to a junction part (51b) of the conductive compound
(51), which contacts the conductor pattern (22), is formed with an
inclination. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stress
concentration due to deformation of the board.

Abstract: A method for producing a compressed digital image from an input
digital image is disclosed, wherein the compressed digital image is organized into
layers corresponding to increasing visual quality levels. The input digital image is
decomposed to produce a plurality of subbands, each subband having a plurality
of subband coefficients. The plurality of subband coefficients of each subband of
the decomposed input digital image are quantized to produce a quantized output
value for each subband coefficient of each subband. At least one bit-plane is
formed from the quantized output values of the subband coefficients of each
subband. Each bit-plane of each subband in at least one pass is entropy encoded
to produce a compressed bit-stream corresponding to each pass, wherein each
subband is entropy encoded independently of the other subbands. A visual
significance value is computed for each pass, and a visual quality table is provided
that specifies a number of expected visual quality levels and corresponding visual
significance values. For each expected visual quality level, a minimal set of
passes and their compressed bit-streams that are necessary to achieve the
corresponding visual significance value are identified. The compressed bit-streams
corresponding to passes are then ordered into layers from the lowest
expected visual quality level to the highest expected visual quality level specified
in the visual quality table to produce a compressed digital image, wherein each
layer includes the passes and their corresponding compressed bit-streams from the
identified minimal set corresponding to the expected visual quality level that have
not been included in any lower visual quality layers.

Abstract: An authentication key is presented to a data processing device by an enable key
block (EKB). Even in a case where a memory device does not have an executing
function for a mutual authentication processing, an establishment of the mutual
authentication processing with a virtual memory device constructed in the data
processing device is made as a condition for a data reproduction processing from
the memory device or a data recording processing to the memory device. In an
unfair data processing device, it is so constructed to present the authentication key
by non-decodable enabling key block (EKB), so that only a fair data processing
device is able to be authenticated with the virtual memory device and to utilize the
contents data.

Abstract: The invention is related two a new kind of pre-processing for plasma display panel control. The plasma display technology has the drawback of a reduced grey scale portrayal. This is due to the fact that contrarily to CRTs where luminance is approximately quadratic to the applied cathode voltage, luminance is linear to the number of discharge pulses in PDPs. Therefore, an approximately quadratic degamma function has to be applied to the input video signal components R,G,B before sub-field coding can be done. Truncation to 8-bit video data is required, so that the effect of the degamma function cannot be fully maintained. Especially in the region of small video levels, where the eye sensitivity is high, the grey scale portrayal is poor. According to the invention it is proposed to use a new kind of dithering, adapted to the PDP specialities to improve the grey scale portrayal. These adaptation includes three dithering specialities which can be used singly or in combination. These are:   cell-based dithering, i.e. to each colour component R, G, B of a pixel separate dithering numbers are added; object/region-based dithering, i.e. the set of disposable dithering numbers is made dependent on the region/object in the video picture; the set of disposable dithering numbers is made dependent on the video (signal) level.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un tube photomultiplicateur ainsi qu'un procédé et un dispositif destinés à mouler un coupleur optique sur ce tube. Un appareil de moulage de coupleur optique comprend un châssis et un fond de châssis. Un tube photomultiplicateur est placé à l'intérieur du châssis entre un ressort et une cale. Le coupleur optique est formé avec un moule qui est placé contre la cale. Une cavité est créée radialement dans l'espace délimité par la cale, entre le tube photomultiplicateur et le moule. Le coupleur optique est moulé sur une plaque faciale du tube photomultiplicateur, l'appareil de moulage étant orienté de telle sorte que son axe longitudinal L est parallèle au sol. Une structure de fixation presse le moule contre la cale et constitue pour la matière de coupleur optique un espace sans fuite où elle est durcie. Cette matière de coupleur optique est injectée dans le moule au moyen d'un orifice de remplissage, cette opération pouvant se faire à température ambiante. La période de durcissement peut être comprise entre une semaine à des températures ambiantes et quatre heures à 65 °C. Le moule peut être usiné pour présenter une quelconque forme souhaitée pour le coupleur optique. La cale peut être dimensionnée et configurée pour permettre un ajustement de l'épaisseur du coupleur optique. Ledit coupleur optique peut avoir une épaisseur inférieure à 0.015 pouces. Si, par exemple, un coupleur optique plus épais est souhaité, la cale peut présenter une épaisseur supérieure. Le bord du logement du tube photomultiplicateur qui repose contre la cale subit un contrôle de sa perpendicularité par rapport à l'axe longitudinal L. Sans cette perpendicularité, on est moins sûr d'obtenir l'alignement correct du tube photomultiplicateur.
