Patent EP-0675390-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STEPHENSON STANLEY WARD C O EA
IPC: G03B15/06
Filed: 1995-03-02
Abstract: A play set (10) for children that allows a child to take correctly framed, focused and illuminated photographs of dolls, action figures or the like, in a life-like play setting. A camera support frame (20) receives a removable, standard camera (12) and aims its lens, through a close-up diopter lens (22) attached to the frame, at the play setting in proper focus. The play setting includes a wall support for a changeable backdrop and a stage for positioning the dolls or figures in front of the chosen backdrop. The frame for the camera (12) is spaced a fixed distance from the wall and stage to set a depth of field to encompass the backdrop and the dolls and figures in the stage area (18). Illumination of the stage area (18) including the dolls and figures and the backdrop is provided in several alternative ways. Glare off the backdrop and figures resulting if the camera's simple flash unit (58) is used to directly illuminate the play setting is reduced by configuring the camera supporting frame (20) to tilt the camera relative to the backdrop. In another embodiment, reflective baffles (60) supported by the frame re-direct the light onto the play setting at an improved angle relative to the lens taking axis. In a preferred embodiment, the camera's flash is blocked by a frame supported baffle (60), and a sensor supported by the frame is operative on its firing to trigger a more optimally positioned remote flash unit to fire. The camera is removable and usable by the child in the normal fashion.

Abstract: The stereoscopic CG image generating apparatus and a stereoscopic TV apparatus, has a projection transformation section which, based on three-dimensional structural information describing a three-dimensional shape of an object, generates a plurality of two-dimensional projection models as viewed from a plurality of viewpoints, a distance information extraction section which generates a camera-to-object distance information used for calculations in the projection transformation section, and a camera parameter determining section which, based on the output of the distance information extraction section, the screen size of a stereoscopic image display device for displaying finally generated two-dimensional projection models, and a viewer's viewing distance, determines camera parameters so that stereoscopic CG images will be brought within the viewer's binocular fusional range. According to the thus constructed stereoscopic CG image generating apparatus and stereoscopic TV apparatus, proper camera parameters (focal length or field of view, camera spacing, and converging point) are determined based on the camera-to-object distance information, the magnitude of parallax of the generated stereoscopic CG images on the display device (or in a window on the display screen), and the viewing distance, so that easy-to-view stereoscopic CG images are automatically generated regardless of the display size, and by horizontally translating left-eye and right-eye images, binocular parallax of displayed images is automatically brought within the viewer's binocular fusional range regardless of the size of a stereoscopic display used.

Abstract: A single phase motor system and method for preventing excessive circulating currents in the motor. The motor (104) has a power supply link including power switches (132) responsive to a motor control signal (126) for connecting the motor winding (108) to a power supply in alternating on and off intervals. A current sensing circuit senses current in the power supply link during the on intervals. A current regulation circuit (140) generates a current regulation signal (146) representative of the difference between the sensed current and a peak regulated current level (144) that is a function of desired motor speed and/or torque. An overcurrent circuit generates an overcurrent signal in response to the sensed current exceeding a maximum current level greater than the peak regulated current level. The motor also has a control circuit (122) responsive to the current regulation signal for generating the motor control signal (126) thereby to regulate current in the winding and control the motor speed and/or torque. At least one of the on intervals is greater than or equal to a minimum interval which is independent of the current regulation signal. The control circuit is also responsive to the overcurrent signal for causing the power switches to disconnect the winding from the power supply thereby to prevent excessive currents from circulating in the motor.

Abstract: Thin thickness parts are formed in the absorption core
present in the front waist region and the back waist region of
a diaper. The thickness of the diaper at the thin thickness
part is preferably 1/2-fold or less the thickness of the
absorption core at the thick thickness part in the crotch region.
When the diaper is folded along a line parallel to the
longitudinal direction of the diaper, the front waist region
and the back waist region are folded at the thin thickness parts
to overlay the thin thickness parts together. Thus, the
thickness of the front waist region and the back waist region
when folded along the folding line is the same as the thickness
of the thick thickness part. Therefore, the thickness of the
folded diaper can be made thin, with no reduction of the
thickness of the absorption core in the crotch region where
urine is mainly absorbed.
