Patent EP-1357333-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ISHIDA HIROYUKI
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: A light source unit (10,10a,30) capable of considerably reducing the size of a vehicular lamp. An LED (12) is mounted on an optical axis (Ax) extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with its light output directed upward, and a reflector (14,34) is provided above the LED (12) having a first reflecting surface (14a,34a) for collecting the light emitted by the LED (12) and reflecting the light generally in the direction of the optical axis (Ax). The reflector (14,34) is formed by a reflective coating formed on the surface of a translucent block (16,16a,36) covering the LED. Consequently, the size of the reflector (14,34) can be considerably reduced as compared with reflectors employed in conventional vehicular lamps. Moreover, since the LED (12) used as a light source emits little heat, the reflector (14,34) can be designed without having to take into account the influence of heat generated by the light source. Furthermore, the LED (12) can be treated substantially as a point light source so that proper reflection control can be carried out even if the size of the reflector is reduced. By mounting the LED (12) so that its light output is directed substantially orthogonal to the optical axis Ax, moreover, it is possible to effectively utilize most of the light emitted by the LED (12) and reflected by the first reflecting surface (14a,34a).

Abstract: A storage system includes storage devices having connection ports and logical device groups connected to each connection port, and a switch having a plurality of switch ports to which the storage devices can be connected via their connection ports and, when a data frame is input to one of the switch ports, being capable of outputting that data frame from either one of the switch ports connected to one of the connection ports to which that data frame is to be sent according to a destination specified in that data frame. The switch stores a table that defines a correspondence between the destination and the connection port. In rearranging data stored in one logical device group to another logical device group, a management server connected to the switch sends an update request to the switch and makes it update the correspondence in the table.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method of exploring paths
having multiple layers. Such paths may be through any of a
number of types of networks, such as transportation
networks, distribution networks, business structure
networks, or telecommunication networks. The method
initially displays in a path explorer view, the nodes and
links of a first layer of the path in a linear
configuration. Upon selection / deselection of a layer
expander icon located near the first layer node at which the
path traverses to the second layer, the method expands /collapses
the second layer of nodes and links in a linear
configuration which is parallel to, but offset from the
first layer. The method further contemplates the display of
a topology view which, in conjunction with the path explorer
view, graphically displays a structure of a selected layer
of the path, with the path visually distinguished therein.

Abstract: A vehicle brake assembly includes a disc (12) that rotates about a lateral axis (14). A caliper (16) is
mounted to a non-rotating vehicle structure and supports a pair of brake pads (20) that are
positioned on opposing sides of the disc. An air chamber (26) provides an actuation force for

axis to bring the brake pads into engagement with the disc during a braking operation. The
air chamber includes a second actuator (30) that applies a force in a second direction transverse
to the lateral axis in response to a vehicle input. An adapter (34) is operably coupled to the first
and second actuators to translate the force applied in the first direction to the force applied
in the second direction. The adapter includes a housing (44) that is mounted to the caliper and a
lever (46) that pivots relative to the housing. The lever has one end connected to the first
actuator and another end connected to the second actuator. With the use of the adapter, the

Abstract: A method for simulating the final finish of a multi-component finish material
comprises submitting or receiving a request describing a desired single or
multicolor surface appearance in a finish simulator to generate one or more
simulated appearance samples, obtaining feedback on said simulated
appearance sample and, if necessary, modifying said sample to simulate said
desired surface appearance. The finish simulator comprises a library of finish
templates that have been produced and software or processing means to apply
rules to adjust the simulated finish for known changes in chemistry,
composition, and application conditions. In addition, the appearance of an actual
multicolor sample is reproduced by separating the sample into areas of different
individual colors, identifying the individual color of each of said areas,
translating said individual area colors into color values that correspond to those
in a database of colors that have been produced, and searching the database for
existing colors that are close matches for those in the sample. The final finish of
the closely matching colors is preferably simulated and assessed electronically
using a finish simulator. The method of the present invention reduces the total
time necessary to generate a multi-component color finish to match a given
sample and can eliminate the need for making trial finishes in assessing color
finishes for matching.

Abstract: A method and human-machine interface for Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) provisioning in bridged networking environments are provided. The
method includes steps of provisioning VLAN support for each customer VLAN
on every data transport trunk and by extension of every data trunk port in the
associated data transport network. The human-machine interface enables an
operator to expediently effect VLAN provisioning abstracting the intricacies of
the data transport network over which VLAN services are provisioned.
Advantages are derived from VLAN provisioning independent of an
underlying in-use active spanning-tree topology. In particular customer
VLANs are provisioned over spanning-tree stand-by designated data transport
trunk links and therefore pre-provisioned in the case of spanning-tree reconfiguration.
Operator VLAN provisioning tasks are lessened via provisions
for the selection of all data transport trunk links/ ports in the data transport
network.

Abstract: In a radio communication system adapted to decide one channel out of a plurality of radio frequency channels, and to cause communication to be made between a radio base station and a child radio station, decision of the channel is made at a periodic timing in the radio base station to notify information relating to this decided channel to the child radio station. Also, a configuration is made so that whenever the channel is decided and switched, communication quality (interference state) of its channel is detected in an interference quantity determination section 140 to make the channel decision by making a reference to this communication quality as well. By doing so, less communication interruption time occurs, and an influence that is given to communication performance of a wireless LAN can be reduced.
