Patent EP-1253805-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHINO HAJIME
IPC: G10K15/00
Filed: 2002-04-09
Abstract: In the automatic sound field correcting device (2), a
plurality of audio signals to be reproduced by a plurality of
speakers (6) are input, and the signal processing is applied
on the corresponding signal transmission paths. The
measurement signal (DN) is supplied for the respective signal
transmission paths, and output by the corresponding speakers
(6). The sound of the output measurement signal (DN) is
collected and the detection signal (SM) of the collected sound
is generated. The equalizer gain values (SF) are determined
based on the detection signals (SM). By determining the
identical equalizer gain values for the plural signal
transmission paths for which the phases of the audio signals
are to be matched, the phases of the signals on those signal
transmission paths are matched, and the strange auditory feeling
due to the phase mismatch can be reduced.

Abstract: A pneumatic system serves as a backup to the
electronic system that normally provides load compensation
on a railcar truck during both service and emergency
applications of the brakes. The pneumatic system
compensates for the load railcar bears during service and
emergency brake applications whenever the electronic load
compensation system fails due to a loss of power or other
electrical failure. Ideal for railcar trucks equipped
with brake pipe controlled brake equipment, the pneumatic
system provides load compensation through use of a four-port
variable load valve in combination with a low
complexity MC-30A-1 control valve.

Abstract: In a surface treatment method of treating the
surface of a material to be treated, by irradiating
with light the material to be treated and a mediating
material in contact with each other, the mediating
material itself causes substantially no interaction
upon irradiation with light. The surface of the
material to be treated is treated by provision of a
chemical reaction field, in which a substituent of
the material to be treated and an atom of atomic
group of the mediating material is induced by
excitation, by irradiating with light by using the
logical product of the contact interface between the
material to be treated and the mediating material and
the light irradiation region, thereby causing and
progressing bonded state transition.

Abstract: A circuit and method are disclosed for adjusting the clock skew in a synchronous
system (3). The circuit and method include initially applying an offset voltage to a data input
of a device (2A) in the system (3). Next, the clock skew between a device (2A) and a data

Abstract: If a repeater supervisory control (SV), a
pre-emphasis automatic adjustment (PE), a receiving
side threshold value automatic adjustment (Vth), a
transmitting side dispersion compensation value
setting (VDC(T)), and a receiving side dispersion
compensation value setting (VDC(R)) are executed for
an optical main signal, these controls are executed in
the above described priority order. Accordingly, if the
controls are independently executed, or if two or more
controls simultaneously occur, a control with a higher
priority is executed. In this way, a transmission
quality of an optical signal is prevented from being
badly influenced as a result that the controls are
simultaneously executed.

Abstract: In an operating liquid feed fuel cell system, fuel concentration in the fuel stream can
be calculated as a function of the observed current, the temperature of the fuel
stream entering the fuel cell stack and the temperature of the fuel cell stack itself,
thereby eliminating the need for a separate sensor. Typically, methanol will be used
as the fuel and the liquid feed fuel cell system will thus be a direct methanol fuel cell
system.

Abstract: An area is divided into regions or cells each having an associated
multicast group address. The cells are organized using a quad-tree data
structure that is dynamically updated. Mobile entities within a given cell elect one
of their members as coordinator for assessing cost data associated with
subdividing or merging the cell with other sibling cells. The coordinators
communicate this cost data to a partitioning entity, which may be a central
server, that computes a new partition scheme using a greedy algorithm. The
new partition scheme is then broadcast to the mobile entities for use in
subsequent communication. Mobile entities join multicast groups that intersect
with their individual vision domains. In this way, mobile entities can acquire
information from other mobile entities without the need to monitor all multicast
group transmissions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the prediction of the risk potential and/or diagnosis of cancerous diseases or inflammatory intestinal diseases, whereby a DNA sample is tested for the presence of polymorphic UGT1A7 allele. A positive result for a mutation is a positive indication of a sensitivity to cancerous diseases. A prediction of sensitivity to an inflammatory intestinal disease can similarly be made. A PCR amplification of the exon 1, by means of the DNA sample with subsequent sequence analysis is carried out in the method and the determined sequence compared with that of the wild type and the polymorphic allele. The presence or lack of mutations is monitored by means of sequencing the corresponding cDNA using automated fluorescent dye sequencing. The test arrangement for said method requires genetic detection reagents, namely the required primer or cDNAs, on a stationary support in a pre-prepared arrangement or sequence for reading off the results. The recombinant UGT1A7 enzymes are also used for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for vending prepaid products, comprising a central data bank (2) and at least one vending device (4), provided with a data memory, that can be interlinked via a telecommunication link (3). The aim of the invention is to create a uniform vending platform.

The code words are combined to data packages with a predetermined, preferably small number of code words. The vending device (4) outputs a code word to the client after sale and feedbacks the number of code words sold to the central data bank (2) after one or several sales. The central data bank (2) monitors the number of code words still available in the vending device (4) and transmits a new data package with new code words when the number of code words falls below a predetermined value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a unidirectional counter comprising a worm wheel (1), which can be driven, and at least one numeric indicator (3),which can be  driven by the rotation of the worm wheel (1). Said wheel cooperates with a system wheel (8) by means of a first system of ratchet teeth (6, 7a,b) comprising at least one first pair of equally acting ratchets (7a,b) which cooperate with each other. Moreover, a reversing wheel (10) can be driven by the worm wheel (1), wherein said reversing wheel cooperates with a second system wheel (14) by means of a second system of ratchet teeth (12,13a,b) comprising at least one second pair of equally acting ratchets (13a,b) which cooperate with each other. The invention aims to count and show the consumed units of energy as precisely as possible, even when there is a change in the direction of rotation. To this end, the transmission ratio between the worm wheel (1) and the reversing wheel (10) and/or between the first and second system wheels (8,14) is different from 1, which compensates for the slower, system-inherent backwards rotation speed of the rotor disk arrangement in the unidirectional counter.
