Abstract: For hot water preparation and storage, the plate heat transmitter comprises a stack (1) of known heat transmission plates, followed by a second stack (4) of such plates. The second stack differs from the first in that, on the user water side, it has greater profiling and thereby flow gaps than on the hot water side. The two stacks are enclosed by two reinforcing end plates (2,3).  The end plate on the first stack supports the connections for hot water forward and back flow together with cold water inflow and warm water outflow. On the other end plate one or more temperature sensors (14) are arranged. The plate heat transmitter is flowed through in counterflow by hot and user water when the valves are opened.

Abstract: A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and
apparatus for making three-dimensional objects on a layer by layer basis by selectively
exposing layers of material to prescribed stimulation, using a beam having a first
smaller diameter and a beam having a second larger diameter, to form laminae of the
object. The power of the smaller beam is typically lower than the power of the larger
beam. Object formation is controlled by data representing portions of the layers to be
exposed with the larger beam (large spot portions) and those portions to be exposed
with the smaller beam (small spot portions). In a preferred embodiment, portions
exposed with the larger beam are formed first, for a given layer. Portions are exposed
with the small beam next. Thereafter the entire perimeter of the laminae is traced using
the small beam. Data manipulation techniques are used to identify which portions may
be formed with the large beam to decrease exposure time and which should be formed
with the small beam to maintain accuracy of the lamina being formed. More than two
beam diameters may be used.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for determining if a wireless
telecommunication system is operating at a reduced capacity is provided. The method
and apparatus utilize call processing information associated with every sector/carrier
within a CDMA base station to determine if any sector/carrier is operating at a reduced
capacity while also being limited by power control (i.e., power control is blocking new
users from gaining access to the sector/carrier even though the sector/carrier is
operating at a reduced capacity). Thus, the method and apparatus detect blocking faults
effecting the capacity of the CDMA system.

Abstract: A child safety seat comprises a child seat
structure (50) having a base support surface (32) for
resting on a vehicle seat cushion (12) and a back support
surface (34) for abutting against the seat back (14) of the
vehicle seat (10). A rigid link (52, 54) is pivotally
attached to the child seat structure (50) so as to project
from the child seat structure (50) between the base support
surface (32) and the back support surface (34). A
releasable connector (38) is mounted on the rigid link (52,
54) for engagement with a standard anchorage unit (16)
associated with the vehicle seat (10). In the event of
sudden deceleration, both the front and rear edges of the
base support surface (32) are pressed downwards into the
vehicle seat cushion (12) simultaneously. This results in
a reduction of the extend of forward excursion of the
child's head (42).

Abstract: A system interactively controlled by a TV viewer
remote control transmitter displays current or future
programming information superimposed over the normal
programming displayed on any channel accessible to the
viewer's display screen. Identification signal data
are accessed and generated by the computer for
durations defined in the identification signal data
either automatically or in response to the TV viewer
remote. Information signal data are accessed and
generated by the computer in response to the TV viewer
remote. A signal combiner superimposes the
identification signal or the information signal over
the viewer usable signal of any selected channel from
the tuner. The identification signal may include data
defining an icon or textual matter alerting a viewer to
the availability of information data. The information
signal may include program descriptive data, schedule
data, pricing data and/or payment authorization and
recording prompt data and the like sequenced for
interactive control of the computer by the viewer. The
identification signal may be specially dedicated to a
normal programming information channel so that the
viewer can interact with respect to specific programs
identified without changing from the programming
information channel. Thus, the viewer is able to 
receive an automatic alert to availability of current
and future programming and to elect to interactively
exercise a variety of options with respect to such
current and future programming without interruption of
presently viewed programming.

Abstract: An image sensing device free from change in the angle of view between
taking moving picture and taking still picture, small in power consumption in
moving picture taking, and small in sensitivity drop if the size of the optical
system is the same. The image sensing means has exclusive image sensing
elements for red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and the three image sensing
elements are disposed by shifting the pixels obliquely. Luminance signal
generating means generates a first luminance signal of which number of
pixels in the horizontal direction is 2 times that of the image sensing device
for G, and generates a second luminance signal of which number of pixels in
the horizontal direction is 2 times that of the image sensing device for G.
Sampling frequency converting means decreases the sampling frequency at a
specific ratio, and generates as a third luminance signal. Second memory
means stores the first luminance signal and second luminance signal, and
issues them alternately in every line. This image sensing device utilizes the
output signal of the sampling frequency converting means as a moving picture
output, and the output of the second memory means as a still picture output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multimedia query using a histogram, and
more particularly, to a method for configuring a histogram which provides
interoperability between histograms configured by non-uniform bin quantization using
bits of a different number, and provides progressive bit processing for keeping a
constant performance even when using the front parts of total bits of each bin value in
the order of time series. 
     A histogram includes threshold values used in representing the number of n of
bits for securing interoperability, capable of comparing the histograms represented by
the number of bits which are differ from each other, including necessarily threshold
values used in representing the number of N'(N'<N) of bits, when bin value is
represented with the number of N of bits by quantization in order to query multimedia
using histogram. Also, the histogram includes n-th bit represented by quantization of
bin value, wherein the nth bit bisects the respective regions divided into (N-1)th bit in
order to perform a progressive bit processing capable of retrieving by using only a bit,
which is smaller than N, when bin value is represented with the number of N of bits by
quantization in order to query multimedia using histogram.

Abstract: When an engine start request is made (YES at S1) in order to
use an engine (14) as a drive power source during the running
of the vehicle in an engine stopped state, the engine (14) is
cranked by a starter (70) without supply of fuel to the engine
(14) (S2 to S5), and the torque of the starter (70) is controlled

shaft rotation speed Nin, that is, a synchronous rotation speed.
After syncronization is achieved and the engagement of a clutch
(C2) is completed, the fuel injection control of the engine (14)
is started to cause self-driven revolution based on explosion
(step S7). The process reduces the consumption of fuel and the
production of exhaust gas.
