Patent EP-0750311-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PIQUET PHILIPPE FRANCK
IPC: G11C11/409
Filed: 1996-06-18
Abstract: The amplifier includes one parallel branch (TP1, TN1, TN2) which has a PMOS transistor (TP1), whose gate receives the signal bit, D. The parallel branch (TP2, TN3) has a PMOS transistor (TP2) receiving the complementary signal bit, NOT-D. Both PMOS transistors have a predetermined limit to the low positive voltage applied to their gates. A NMOS transistor (TN2), common to both branches, amplifies the difference between the voltage levels produced by the two signals and receives a read control signal (CL) at its gate. The gate of a preload transistor (TN4) receives a preload control signal (CPRECH) at its gate and forms the positive feedback. A switching PMOS transistor (TP3) has its gate controlled by a complementary precharge control signal (NOT-PRECH).

IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: The process provides modification of the resolution of an image obtained by digitising a real image which consists of a given number of pixels of measuring intensity. The process includes investigation and isolation of the contours of the digitised image, and creation of supplementary pixels by interpolation of the intensities of the original pixels situated on the same side of the contour, providing an image of modified resolution. The location of the contours is effected by marking, for each of the neighbouring pixels, the intensity transitions which represent a gradient which exceeds a given threshold. Before the interpolation procedure, the intensities of the original pixels are substituted by weighted values which are a function of the intensities of pixels which are near to the pixel of intensity to be weighted. Weighting is achieved by application of a matrix processing technique.

Abstract: A process for determining the fat content of organic samples (4), particularly foodstuffs, ensures complete extraction of the fat by dissolving it in a soln. (6) with a high b.pt. e.g. n-butylalcohol, at a temp. of not less than 100 deg. C. Quantitive measurements can be made by weight comparison. Simultaneously the fat content is saponified by addition of a base (5) of potassium hydroxide. The salts of the fatty acid resulting from this process may be analysed by the addition of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and formic acid and by subjecting the reaction product to gas chromatography. The process is quick and reliable. Fat content determination including analysis of fatty acids gives a true picture of the fat/caloric value of the foodstuff.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP96/00275 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 27, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/23687 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 8, 1996A partially spring-loaded drive, particularly for electrically-powered rail vehicles, having a gear which, including an encapsulating gear housing, is seated on the wheel axle, and a pinion that is seated in the gear housing. The coupled motor is fixedly secured to the truck, and the resilient, elastic fastening of the gear housing to the truck is effected by way of at least two elastic spring elements that are mounted nearly vertically and diametrically opposite the pinion shaft, and whose lines of influence extend through the center of the pinion shaft. To avoid the disadvantages associated with truck-side pendulum suspensions of the drive housing outside of the pinion shaft, and provide a solution to the fastening of the gear housing to the truck, with which a stabilizing effect can be achieved for protecting the bearings in addition to an economical minimization of deformation losses of the coupling, a defined radial prestressing of the gear housing (3) with respect to the wheel set (4/5) is established using the transverse elasticity of the spring elements (6). The radial prestressing can usefully be established above and below the gear housing (3) by way of an arrangement of rubber thrust springs having support surfaces.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé ainsi qu'un appareil de mesure pour une machine d'alignement optique de roues, lequel procédé fait appel à une ou plusieurs sources de lumière, tel que des lasers (12, 13, 14), afin de projeter une ligne laser, ou une ligne de toute autre lumière conformée, en divers endroits sur le pourtour de la paroi latérale d'un pneu à mesurer. Ce capteur comprend une caméra vidéo (32a), ou un autre récepteur sensible à la lumière, ainsi qu'un système optique (16) combinant les lignes laser réfléchies en une image unique que reçoit la caméra. Ce système optique assure également la rotation d'une ou plusieurs lignes laser réfléchies de sorte que toutes les parties réfléchies possèdent la même orientation générale lors de leur entrée dans la caméra. La caméra émet un flux de données vidéo correspondant à l'image. Le capteur possède un circuit électronique (20) qui va comparer à un seuil le flux de données vidéo entrant, afin de déterminer (88), pixel par pixel, si un quelconque pixel particulier se trouve sur ou hors d'une des lignes laser reçues par la caméra. Lorsqu'un pixel se trouve sur une ligne laser, le comparateur interrompt (requête d'interruption) le fonctionnement du microprocesseur (80), lequel va ensuite déterminer la position de ce pixel dans l'image et utiliser ces informations afin de générer les données de sortie des coordonnées.
