Abstract: A readily bendable rolling conveyor guide is provided. The guide includes axle-positioning members having notches. The axle-positioning members slidably engage channels mounted to a structural support member. A plurality of axles carrying rotatable elements and spacers are disposed between the axle-positioning members. Due to the notches in the axle-positioning members and the unique cross-section of the exterior of the channels, the assembled guide may be bent at small radii without causing distortion of the channels or interference between the axle-positioning members and the channels.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une chasse d'eau de type réservoir (300) qui comprend une soupape d'admission, par exemple une soupape de remplissage (302), une soupape de chasse à membrane (304), et un mécanisme de régulation de pression (306).  La soupape d'admission est reliée à une source d'eau extérieure et est construite pour fermer l'écoulement d'eau vers un réservoir de stockage d'eau (16) lorsque l'eau atteint un niveau d'eau prédéfini dans le réservoir d'eau.  La soupape de chasse à membrane est construite pour commander un organe de soupape de chasse enter un état fermé et un état non fermé qui permet l'évacuation de l'eau depuis le réservoir d'eau dans la cuvette des toilettes.  Une membrane séparant une chambre de soupape de chasse d'une chambre pilote est agencée pour étanchéiser la chambre de soupape de chasse et maintenir de la sorte une pression qui force l'organe de soupape de chasse à rester en position fermée, empêchant de la sorte l'évacuation de l'eau depuis le réservoir d'eau dans la cuvette des toilettes.  Le mécanisme de régulation de pression est construit et agencé pour, lors de son actionnement, réduire la pression dans la chambre pilote de la soupape de chasse à membrane afin de produire une déformation de la membrane et réduire ainsi la pression dans la chambre de la soupape de chasse de façon à entraîner l'évacuation de l'eau.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying navigation guidance
signboards as superimposed images on a 3D map is provided.
"Translucent" is set as a transparency attribute (34) for a
signboard, whereas "opaque" is set as a transparency attribute
(34) for a diagram and/or a text string shown on the signboard.
As a result, a navigation guidance signboard is displayed as a
superimposed image on a three-dimensional map in such a manner
that the diagram and/or text string appears opaque and that the
signboard appears translucent. Thus, a user can visually
recognize the diagram and/or text string indicating navigation
guidance without fail, and yet see through the signboard (except
for the portion in which the diagram and/or text string are shown)
to the three-dimensional map.

Abstract: A method for detecting an edge and generating an interpolated edge pixel at
a target pixel position between two lines of an interlace scan image first
determines gradient intensities in the horizontal and vertical directions and then
calculates the angle of the edge by comparing the gradient intensities. The
interpolated pixel value is calculated from samples in the interlace scan image that
lie along the identified angle and are proximate to the target pixel position. The
method represents the gradient strengths and the difference between them as bit
strings; locates the most significant non-zero bit in the larger gradient value;
divides the value of the corresponding bit position in the difference string, and a
predetermined number of following positions, by increasing powers of 2; sums the
results; subtracts the sum from 1.0 and uses the inverse tangent function to
calculate the angle of the edge.

Abstract: A multi-port RAM (random access memory) including an array
of RAM cells. Each RAM cell has a core cell with a single-ended, pseudo-differential
write access port and differential, indirect access read ports. The
architecture of the features of the multi-port RAM allows direct scaling of the
number of write and read access ports to any practical limit with no adverse
effects on cell stability margins and therefore data integrity. Also, disclosed is
a design detail for an innovative time multiplexed read port architecture
implemented as part of a high-speed 9-port time slot interchange random
access memory. It provides a practical, high-speed, low-power and area
efficient read port structure to allow eight random access reads per clock cycle.
Because all timing is internally generated from a single rising clock transition
of a system clock signal, no special control or clocking is required externally to
the memory.

Abstract: A damper (10) includes a piston (22) that carries a relatively
compact control valve (26) for controlling fluid flow through the piston. The
control valve provides a variable amount of damping by regulating
damper fluid flow between the extension chamber (18) and the compression

Pressure regulation across the piston is controlled through a flow path (38)

control valve is air pressure actuated to adjust the damping force and
control the flow of fluid in the flow path. The piston and rod assembly
