Patent EP-0438858-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHRISTIANSEN NED
IPC: B60N2/75
Filed: 1990-11-05
Abstract: A vehicular armrest (20) includes an interior compartment (40) which receives a beverage container holding assembly. The holding assembly is pivotally secured to the armrest (20) for rotation between a stored position inside the compartment (40) and an operational position outside the armrest compartment (40). The holding assembly includes two semi-circular arms (54,54') which are operatively connected to an actuating mechanism (52) which automatically expands the semi-circular members (54, 54') upon rotation toward the operational position. In the operational position, the two semi-circular members (54,54') form two distinct beverage container receptacles in the holding assembly. The actuating mechanism also automatically collapses the semi-circular arms (54,54') as the holding assembly is rotated toward the storage position to compactly store the holding assembly within the compartment (40) of the armrest (20). A T-shaped bar (92) is pivotally attached to the holding assembly to support the bottom of a beverage container (C) when the arms (54,54') are in the expanded operational position.

Abstract: The position of a reference point of a scanner relative to an incremental scale with marks arranged thereon with constant spacings is roughly determined based on the marks passed along the scale multiplied by the spacing of the marks, and finely determined by interpolation between the marks. The interpolation between the marks is made by determining the projection angles between the reference point and three marks adjacently arranged on the scale, and by calculating the coordinates of the reference point according to trigonometric functions.

Abstract: A shut-off valve assembly (10) in a very high pressure water gun is provided with a valve member (42) between a pressure chamber (17) and an outlet chamber (19) which produces a quick pressure induced snap-off action just before closing which securely seats the valve member against leakage and erosion. Shortly after cracking the valve to an open position the pressure induced force is relieved and the regular biasing spring (56) offers the only closing force. An improved high pressure seal (98) is configured to seal with a short stem contact area designed to significantly reduce friction. A special safety bleeder valve bleeds to atmosphere independent of starting pressure.

Abstract: A rotary atomiser (10) for spray coating objects includes an onboard colour change valve manifold (140) as well as an optional onboard fluid pressure regulator (145). The manifold facilitates rapid and efficient colour changing while reducing coating material wastage and solvent usage. The invention also contemplates mounting the colour changer repositionally along an axis which preferably coincides with the rotary axis of the atomiser. This facilitates installation and removal of the regulator (145) and permits the coating material flow path between the discharge port of the colour changer and the atomising head to be kept short and straight which improves flow control and facilitates thorough flushing of the flow path with solvent. Other improvements including a particular colour changer manifold and atomiser head structure are also disclosed.

Abstract: A moving picture coding apparatus is disclosed in which when an input image and the image of the preceding image are correlated to each other, the inter-frame coding is effected, while when no correlation exists, the intra-frame coding is carried out for packet switched networks. The moving picture coding apparatus is comprised of a device (36) for refreshing blocks in a frame at regular intervals of time, and when the number of cells generated by coding during a predetermined past time is larger than a threshold level set in advance, the number of blocks refreshed is reduced, thereby preventing the image information more than a maximum transmission capacity of the packet switched networks from being generated.

Abstract: In the present invention, skins to be depilated are contacted with an oxidising solution in the form of foam. The foam normally comprises an oxidising agent, a pH regulator and a surfactant composition with a high foaming power. The oxidising agent is preferably hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid. After the oxidation of the hair, the foam is preferably caused to collapse and depilation is desirably completed in a mechanical stage.

Abstract: A circuit (32) for adding a resonance tone to a tone signal to be generated is provided. When a damper operator (26) is not operated, the resonance tone is not added but an ordinary tone signal is generated. When the damper operator (26) has been operated, the resonance tone is added so that a tone signal including the resonance tone is generated. An effect of a damper operator (26), i.e., loud pedal, in a piano, a natural musical instrument, is thereby simulated with high fidelity. The resonance tone may be produced by passing an ordinary tone signal through a filter. Alternatively, data obtained by sampling an acutally produced tone of a piano, a natural musical instrument, when a damper operator, i.e., loud pedal, is ON may be stored in a memory and a resonance tone may be generated by reading out the stored data from the memory. The signal of the generated resonance tone may be sounded by itself or after mixing with an ordinary tone signal at a suitable mixing ratio. In addition to the imparting of the resonance tone, a known control for switching of a decay rate of a tone volume envelope may be performed.

Abstract: Images such as product (12) images (I) are identified as substantially similar to one or more reference images by finding pixels (341a, A) which have substantially the same value or values in all or substantially all of the reference images. Image erosion (341a', 129c) and/or dilation (109c, 129e, 504) may be used in processing the reference image data to help identify pixels which can always be expected to have the same value in all acceptable images. The values associated with the corresponding pixels in a product image are combined (407, P A ) and compared (409) to an expected value (T A ). The product image is identified (412) as substantially similar to the reference image or images only if the combined values from the product image compare favorably with the expected value.

Abstract: A low voltage current mirror termination circuit used with an ECL gate array for providing a constant output emitter follower reference current (Ief) which is independent of voltage variations in a separate output emitter follower power supply source (VEF) includes a lateral PNP transistor (Qp), an NPN mirror transistor (Qx), at least one pull-down transistor (Qf), and at least one NPN output emitter follower transistor (Qo). The current through the collector of the lateral PNP transistor (Qp) defines a mirror current (Ip). The base of the lateral transistor (Qp) is connected to receive a base bias voltage VEP. The current through the collector of the pull-down transistor (Qf) defines the constant output emitter follower reference current (lef) which is proportional to the mirror current (Ip). The separate emitter follower power supply source (VEF) has a voltage which is lower than a supply source (VEE) so as to reduce significantly the power consumption.
