Patent EP-0928722-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FUJII HIROAKI
IPC: B60R22/34
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: To provide a seat belt retractor which absorb impact by deforming a roll made of
steel just like reversely rolling up. When acceleration exceeding a threshold for example
in the event of vehicle collision, a lock gear 90 is locked by a lock activating mechanism
120 and pawls 80 engage some of internal teeth 68 of a lock base 60. A webbing is
loaded with significantly large tension by the occupant being moved forward due to the
acceleration so that extremely large torque is applied to the lock base 60 from the reel 32
through the pawls 80. Because of this torque, the steel roll 52 plastically deforms just
like being reversely rolled up from the inner end so that the webbing is gradually
unwound, thereby softening impact acting on the occupant by the webbing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing color balance enhancement using a host to
adjust the color of a digital image taken by a digital camera. Digital image data is
received within a host from a digital camera together with information indicating
whether a strobe was used to assist in illuminating objects to be imaged. White Balance
Factors associated with a corresponding one of three colors are also sent from the
camera to the host. Based upon the value of the White Balance Factors, the host
determines how much gain was applied to the red and blue outputs from the detectors
with respect to the output from the green detectors. The host attempts to return the
color balance of the image to the balance that was originally detected by the camera
The present invention compensates for the loss of color information by subjecting
the image data to an algorithm that attempts to reestablish the correct ratio between
the red, green, and blue components of the image. Once the color balance of the
image has been returned as nearly as possible to the original color balance (i.e., the
balance that existed at the output from the detectors), the present invention adjusts
the color balance to compensate for the type of light source actually used.

Abstract: A MOS track-and-hold circuit incorporating cancellation
of error due to switch feedthrough is described. To eliminate
the channel charge feedthrough due to oxide capacitance, a
switched capacitor source (22) is connected to be charged to a
voltage V1 during the "hold" phase and between the input node
(12) and the switch gate (17) to provide a voltage V1 - Vin
during the "track" phase. A dummy transistor (26) biased in an
"off" condition has its drain connected to the holding capacitor
(15) and its gate switched between ground and the output terminal
(Vout which tracks Vin) to also cancel the feedthrough from the
gate-drain overlap capacitance and any gate-drain parasitic
capacitance.

Abstract: In three trolleys for running girders 31 and 32, a
central trolley 60 comprises a stage 61 which mounts a
container from respective lifting devices 42 and 46
of both sides trolleys 41 and 45. The trolley 60
lifts down the stage 61 by ropes 62. In a case of a
loading, the trolley 45 lifts up the container and
mounts it on the stage 61. The container of the stage
61 is lifted up by the trolley 60 and is unloaded in a
land side. A height position of the stage 61 is a
height where under a condition where the container is
lifted up, a minimum height where the trolley can run
forms as a standard. In accompany with the proceeding
of the loading, the height position of the stage 61 is
descended gradually. In a case of ship loading, the
stage is ascended gradually. An auxiliary beam 37
where the trolley 60 runs is positioned at the land
side from a connection point between a tension bar 28
and a boom 32. A container crane 20 having a light
weight structure can be obtained and a handling time

IPC: A61Q1/00
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: The viscosity of a solvent is modified by
thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone
latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane
particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer,
a surfactant and water; emulsifying the mixture to a gel
phase; diluting the emulsion with water; adding a cure
package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker or both, or a self
catalytic crosslinker); and then without removing the water
from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer
in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent
to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and
pastes. Water in the latex thickened solvent composition is
stabilized by adding a silicone polyether during mixing of
the latex and the solvent. These stabilized latex thickened
solvent compositions have beneficial properties such as
clarity, shelf stability, and ease of preparation; and
therefore have wide areas of application, especially as
additives in antiperspirants, deodorants and other personal
care applications.

Abstract: A portable or other electronic device has two or more display devices or screens that can be
used to display different subsets of image signals. The effect is that the device simulates the display
capabilities of devices having much larger screens. The device has an open or active configuration,
in which the multiple screens are available for displaying image signals, and a closed or inactive
configuration, in which some or all of the multiple screens are folded together or otherwise stowed
away to reduce the size of the device for storage and/or carrying. By simulating large-display
operations, electronic devices according to the present invention are capable of presenting more
useable information to the user than is otherwise possible using prior art devices having a single
small screen.

Abstract: A coil assembly for miniature solenoid valves, such as size SAE-6
valves, includes a flux tube 50 which passes through the hollow core 24 of the
coil assembly 28. The flux tube 50 is formed against a shoulder 48 of a
coupling member 40 by using the "Taumel" orbital head forming technique in
which a forming tube orbits around the end of the flux tube 50 to form a flange
60 which bears against the shoulder 48. A flux washer 34 is disposed adjacent
the coil 20 and is held tightly thereagainst by the flux tube 50 to help linearize
magnetic force exerted upon energizing the coil 20. In order to facilitate
stroking the destroking the solenoid valve, the tank ports 120 close slightly
before the pressure ports 124 are opened when stroking and slightly after when
destroking. The coil 20 is designed to saturate the magnetic circuit early to
diminish the effect of coil heating and resultant force loss at a given stroke
displacement.

Abstract: A soft, meshed, electromagnetic shielding textile sheet
is placed in a mold, and the mold is clamped. The soft, meshed
electromagnetic shielding textile sheet is shaped so as to conform

Since the meshed, electromagnetic shielding textile sheet is
impregnated with part of a resin injected into the mold to form
an injection-molded resin body, the adhesion of the
electromagnetic shielding textile sheet to the injection-molded
resin body is improved.

Abstract: An automatic train control system, including a track occupancy detector is
disclosed which utilizes an image sensor disposed on the front of a locomotive
which scans an image immediately in front of the locomotive and is capable of
detecting the presence of the occupied track and any parallel tracks disposed on
either side of the occupied track. Image processing is accomplished using a
Laplacian edge detection algorithm and a Hough transform line detection
algorithm. An on-board computer determines the slope of lines corresponding to
rails extending ahead of the locomotive. The lines are grouped into lines having
positive and negative slope and the number of lines in each group is determined.
Based upon the number of lines having positive and negative slopes, a
determination of occupancy is made. The information from the track occupancy
detector is provided to other equipment located on the locomotive and used to
assist with other advanced train control functions.
