Patent EP-1541368-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LIU CHU-HENG
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2004-11-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to expanding the range of image densities
over which the manipulation of differential gloss as may be inherent in halftoned
images may be achieved. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure
characteristics which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical
in density, a gloss image may be superimposed within an image without the need for
special toners or paper. This technique may be enhanced across low and high
density areas by application of clear toner. Further, in color systems, light color toner
may be applied to low density image areas and dark under-color applied in high
density image areas, to expand the range of image densities over which a desired
glossmark image will bear an effect.

Abstract: A drive control device (120) is provided with an acceleration computing section
(122), an actual acceleration detecting section (124), a generator output computing section
(126), a determining section (128), and a voltage increasing section (130). The
acceleration computing section (122) computes the acceleration requested by the driver
based on the accelerator position. The actual acceleration detecting section (124) detects
the actual acceleration of the vehicle. The generator output computing section (126)
computes the target motor torque based on the acceleration requested by the driver and
then computes the generator output corresponding to the target motor torque. The
determining section (128) determines if the actual acceleration is deficient in comparison
with the acceleration requested by the driver or if the generator output is deficient in
comparison with the acceleration requested by the driver. The voltage increasing section
(130) increases the voltage supplied to the electric generator (7) from a vehicle mounted
electric power source (140) when the determining section (128) determines that the actual
acceleration or the generator output is deficient. As a result, the generator output
deficiency is eliminated and the required motor torque is produced, thereby enabling the
vehicle to start into motion appropriately in accordance with the acceleration requested by
the driver.

Abstract: A query runtime architecture and an exemplary application programming interface suitable for the architecture are presented. The architecture inputs one or more XNIL queries and views and enables the queries to be translated wherein the queries and views may be run over multiple data sources of different data models. The architecture incorporates front-end compilers which convert input queries and views into an intermediate language representation which represents the meaning of the respective query or view. The architecture may then allow the back-end compiling of the intermediate language representation to target languages compatible with the data sources desired to be queried. The architecture also allows the execution of those target compilations to extract the data requested of the queries. The invention also discloses an example application programming interface for the query runtime system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new communication
infrastructure between a device and a Web Application that is
extended by an inventive proxy. The basic functionality of the
Proxy is to combine the functionality of each mode of
communication of single device, and to present it as a single
device to the Web application. This is achieved by the inventive
session management of the Proxy. The Proxy generates for each
mode of communication of a single device with the Proxy an own
single session identifier (ID). Communicating with the Web
application, the Proxy uses only one common session for each
single device independently which mode of communication is
currently active. The common session is mapped to the respective
session of the currently active mode of communication preferably
by a common device identifier representing a single device. Each
communication between Proxy and device is established by using
the session ID of the respective mode of communication.

Abstract: The present invention provides a '411xx' value added service to wireless users. The disclosed '411xx' service allows a mobile user who may be unfamiliar with their current geographic location to nevertheless obtain quick, accurate, and current information relating to the geographic area, e.g., different services in their current location, stores, libraries, gas stations, etc., via a mobile terminated (MT) short message system (SMS) message. In addition to the traditional ‘4-1-1' dialed digits, a mobile user would also dial a number (or numbers) representing a feature code for a particular service, e.g., nearby ATMs, or traffic information. Upon receiving a 411xx call, the MSC generates an ORREQ/TCAP trigger based on a translation of the requested service represented by the extra 'xx' digits. The 411xx call is terminated on the MSC after an audible whisper notice plays to the caller, e.g., 'thank you for calling, your requested information will be sent momentarily'.

Abstract: A magnetostrictive sensor (200) to sense force (212) or torque applied to a structural element (204) to which the magnetostrictive sensor is non-invasively attached by a fixed, intimate contact therewith. The sensor consists of a magnetostrictive layer (210) in intimate contact with a coil (206) excited source of magnetic flux. A force or torque applied to the structural element produces a stress transferred to the magnetostrictive layer, thereby varying the magnetic permeability of the magnetostrictive layer. The change in the magnetic flux (224) produces a change in the inductance and impedance of the coil, and thereby a detectable change in the voltage V'  s  across the coil.
