Patent EP-1162082-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BOWMAN LARRY W
IPC: B60K17/16
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: A dual wheel assembly (10) is provided that includes a spindle (12) having an axle shaft defining
a rotational axis. The axle shaft has a drive pinion (15). A first wheel hub (16) is supported on the
spindle and is positioned to be rotatably driven about the rotational axis. A second
wheel hub (18) is arranged adjacent to the first wheel hub and is also rotatable about the
rotational axis. The second wheel hub (18) may be supported by the first wheel hub (16) or the
spindle (12). A differential assembly is interconnected between the first wheel hub and the
second wheel hub. The differential assembly permits both wheels to be driven for
increase traction while allowing the second wheel hub to rotate relative to the first
wheel hub. A gear reduction assembly (20) interconnects the differential assembly and the
drive pinion to provide torque multiplication to the wheel hubs. In this manner, the gear
reduction assembly provides the additional torque required for heavy vehicles while the
differential assembly allows relative rotation of the wheel hubs.

Abstract: Lithographic imaging using non-ablative printing members combines the
benefits of simple construction, the ability to utilize traditional metal base supports,
and amenability to imaging with low-power lasers that need not impart ablation-inducing
energy levels. A representative printing member has a hydrophilic metal
substrate (302) and, thereover, first (304) and second (306) layers. The first layer
(304) has a thickness and an exposed surface and comprises a material that
absorbs imaging radiation. The second layer (306) overlies the first layer (304) and
is oleophilic and substantially transparent to imaging radiation. Exposure to imaging
radiation causes the first layer and the substrate to irreversibly detach without
substantial ablation, thereby facilitating removal, by subjection to the cleaning
liquid, of the first and second layers where detachment has taken place.

Abstract: A video game is executed in accordance with a game software program read from a
recording medium. The contents of the game may be converted into printing data and as part
of the game is printed. A printer driver stored in a non-volatile memory is arranged to be
updated to enable the printing to be performed by the latest printer driver. To this end, as a
printer driver is read from the video game program recording medium at step S11, the
version of the printer driver as read out is checked at step S12. If the printer driver as read
out is of a new version, the printer driver in the memory card is updated at step S13.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a tilt in a disc player includes a disc insertion
judgment step, a focus error output time judgment step, a subtraction step, a disc
recording surface judgment step, and a tilt calibration step. In the focus error output
time judgment step, an optical pickup unit is made to ascend and then descend for a
predetermined time, to then judge a first focus error output time at which a focus error
is output during ascending and a second focus error output time at which a focus error
is output during descending. A focus error output difference time is obtained by
subtracting the FET1 from the FET2. In the tilt calibration step, if the FET is not
same as a reference focus error output difference time (FETrf), the turntable is made
to rotate, to calibrate a tilt between the optical pickup unit and the disc.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for maximizing the efficiency of a power
amplifier by reducing the PAPR of a BS in a mobile communication system. A
power controller between I and Q channel pulse shaping filters and a frequency
converter calculates cancellation signals for signal pulses that increase the PAPR
at each sampling period, pulse-shape-filters cancellation signals at the highest
levels among the cancellation signals, and adds the filtered cancellation signals to
the original signals. Thus, spectral regrowth outside a signal frequency band is
suppressed, In the case of a system supporting multiple frequency allocations, the
PAPR is controlled for each FA according to its service class. Therefore,
minimum system performance is ensured and power use efficiency is increased.

Abstract: Real-time image rendering of diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a preprocess, a global transport simulator creates functions over the object's surface representing transfer of arbitrary, low-frequency incident lighting into exiting radiance, but including global effects like shadowing and interreflection from the object onto itself. At run-time, these transfer functions are applied to the actual incident lighting. 
Dynamic, local lighting is handled by sampling close to the object at every frame; the object can also be rigidly rotated with respect to the lighting and vice versa. Lighting and transfer functions are represented using low-order spherical harmonics. Functions for radiance transfer from a dynamic lighting environment through a preprocessed object to neighboring points in space further allow cast soft shadows and caustics from rigidly moving casters onto arbitrary, dynamic receivers.
