Patent EP-2028450-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHOTT CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01D5/14
Filed: 2008-07-24
Abstract: A method of determining the position of a probe relative to a scale wherein the probe contains a sensor of the type comprising one or more pairs of orthogonal sensing elements X, Y operable to measure properties varying locally with the position of the probe relative to the scale. In use, a sinusoidally varying bias Ix, Iy is applied to each of the elements X, Y. The resultant outputs of elements X and Y are fed to summing means 101 and difference means 102. The summing means 101 is operable to output a summed signal Vsum equal to the instantaneous sum of Vx and Vy. The difference means 102 is operable to output a difference signal Vdiff equal to the instantaneous difference between Vx and Vy. The outputs Vsum and Vdiff are fed into a phase comparator 103, which is operable to determine the phase difference between them. The phase angle between Vsum and Vdiff provides an indication of the position of the probe relative to the scale. In alternative embodiments the phase angle between either Vsum or Vdiff and the bias signal may be used to Vdiff provides an indication of the position of the probe relative to the scale. In various embodiments, the above method is applied to both linear and rotary systems using magnetic or optical sensing elements.

Abstract: A "pause and resume" function and a "channel change" function for recording and playing interframe compressed audiovideo data, particularly MPEG data. The invention includes a digital track format and a method for recording one or more sessions from one or more streams of interframe compressed audiovideo data which has been synchronized to a reference clock. The invention adds special "splice point" indicators to recorded video material. The splice point indicators are added periodically (e.g., by recording a special reference clock). Splice point indicators are used to determine the existence of a point of discontinuity in the recorded audiovideo data. The system and method enable pausing and later resuming recording of an audiovideo data stream such that the audiovideo data can be played back with proper resynchronization at each point of discontinuity (the "pause and resume" function). The format and method also allow for recording an abrupt change from one audiovideo data stream to a different audiovideo data stream having a different clock reference, such that the two recorded sequences are spliced together as one continuous recorded sequence that can be played back with resynchronization of the program audiovideo data at each splice point (the "channel change" function). As a consequence of using an added special reference clock as a splice point indicator, the invention also provides random access playback. In addition, the invention permits recording of conventional data in standard storage formats.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for implementing biometrics-based authentication. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is embodied in a portable device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the portable device includes a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory coupled thereto, and a biometrics-based authentication module controlled by the microprocessor. Preferably, the biometrics technology used is fingerprint authentication technology. The authentication module is capable of registering a fingerprint upon first use of the portable device, storing an encoded version of the fingerprint in the non-volatile memory. Subsequently, the authentication module can read a person's fingerprint and reliably determine whether the fingerprint matches the registered fingerprint stored in the non-volatile memory. If a match is found, access to information in the non-volatile memory is granted to that person; otherwise access is denied. Embodiments of the present invention thus provide a highly convenient, secured and reliable method and system for user authentication and access control which was not achievable in prior art password-based authentication approaches.

Abstract: An output of a semiconductor impact sensor (46) contained in an air bag ECU (22) is used to make determination in light of a criterion for interrupting a high-voltage power supply, which is different from a criterion for inflating an air bag so that the semiconductor impact sensor forms a redundant system along with a conventional safing sensor to prevent malfunction. Furthermore, an output of the semiconductor impact sensor contained in the air bag ECU is used to make determination for safing and output a safing signal thereby, so that a redundant system can be formed for a front impact sensor (16), a side impact sensor (18), and a rear impact sensor (20). Accordingly, malfunction can be prevented when tampering such as a strike with a hammer occurs.
