Patent EP-0810542-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ABRAMS KENNETH A
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: A bitmap comparison technique that is able quickly
to compare two bitmap images while discounting
differences between the images likely due to noise. The
bitmap comparison technique includes the operations of:
comparing the first and second bitmaps, producing a
difference map identifying differing bits between the
first and second bitmaps, producing outline masks based
on the outlines of the first and second bitmaps,
identifying certain very different bits within the
difference map that are to be weighted differently from
the remaining bits within the difference map based upon
the outline mask, and determining a comparison score to
indicate the extent to which the first and second images
differ by differently weighting the very different bits
and the remaining bits. The certain bits are normally
weighted to a lesser extent than the remaining bits when
determining the comparison score so that the influence of
noise in the comparison score is diminished. The above
bitmap comparison technique can be implemented in
numerous ways, including as an apparatus, a method or as
a computer-readable medium.

IPC: H03K3/037
Filed: 1997-06-30
Abstract: In an integrated circuit incorporating a plurality of flip-flops, one of the
flip-flops is dedicated to providing a power-on reset pulse. The two outputs of
this flip-flop are coupled to inputs of an exclusive OR gate, such that on power-up,
as soon as the flip-flop is energised sufficiently to take up one or other state,
the exclusive OR gate provides an output from which a reset pulse can be
derived.

Abstract: An interlock assembly for use with two or more vertically arranged drawers mounted on
telescopic slides (10) in a housing such as a cabinet (35) so as to prevent the extension of a drawer once
another drawer is opened. The interlocking system interfaces with the stationary members (12) of
vertically arranged slides (10) attached to the cabinet (35). A pair of opposing upper and lower actuator
followers (32,34) are slidably and transversely fitted near the front of the stationary members (12) so that
movement of one actuator follower (32,34) toward the other, displaces the other. A rod (72) connects the
upper actuator follower (32) of one slide with the lower actuator follower (34) of a slide directly above it.
An actuator (74) is connected to the front ends (76) of the telescopic members (14) of the slides (10). As a
telescopic member (14) is extended, the actuator (74) of that slide (10) makes contact and displaces the upper
actuator follower (32) of the slide (10) which results in the upper displacement of the lower actuator
followers (34) of the slides directly above the extended slide (10). The extended slide (10) also prevents the
upward displacement of the upper actuator followers (32) of all the slides directly below it.
Consequently, all actuator followers (32,34) block the path of their respective telescopic members (14)
precluding their extension.

Abstract: An input circuit is used in combination with a dimming
circuit control unit wherein the input circuit includes a
first input line (14) to receive a first input voltage
signal and a second input line (34) to receive a second
input voltage signal. A first voltage divider (16) is
electrically connected to the first input line (14) to
receive the first input voltage signal and to divide the
first voltage of the first input voltage signal. A second
voltage divider (36) is electrically connected to the second
input line (34) to receive the second input voltage signal
and to divide a second voltage of the second input voltage
signal. An inverter (20) is connected to the output of the
first voltage divider (16) to invert the output of the first
voltage divider (16). The output of the second voltage
divider (36) and the inverted output of the first voltage
divider (16) are then ORed and, once loaded for the proper
logic levels, input into the dimming circuit control unit to
control the dimming of the lamp and/or display.

Abstract: A semiconductor device for generating first and
second internal clocks complementary with each other from
an external clock and usable for both a system of a type
using a complementary clock and a system of a type
generating a 180° phase clock internally, is disclosed.
A first clock input circuit (buffer) (11) is supplied with a
first eternal clock (CLK) and outputs a first internal clock (CLK1).
A second clock input circuit (buffer) (12) is supplied with a
second external clock (/CLK) complementary with the first
external clock and outputs a second clock. A 1/2 phase
clock generating circuit (22) generates a 1/2 phase shift
signal 180° out of phase with the first internal clock (CLK).
A second external clock state detection circuit judges
whether the second external clock (/CLK) is input to the second
clock input buffer. A switch (23) is operated to produce the
second clock as the second internal clock when the second
external clock is input and to produce the 1/2 phase
shift signal as the second internal clock when the second
external clock is not input, in accordance with the
judgement at the second external clock state detection
circuit.

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Antrieb einer Lenkhilfpumpe bei Brennkraftmaschinen

Um einen separaten Antrieb für die zweite Lenkhilfpumpe zu vermeiden

angetrieben wird. Der Antrieb der Kraftstofförderpumpe wiederum erfolgt vom
Ausgang der zweiten Lenkhilfpumpe. Diese Reihenschaltung der Antriebe hat den
Vorteil, daß ein eigener Antrieb entfällt. Ferner wird die zweite Lenkhilfpumpe
kleiner, da die Drehzahl der von der Luftpresserwelle angetriebenen ersten Hochdruck-Einspritzpumpe
stets größer ist, als die der Luftpresserwelle, welche sonst
