Abstract: A method of making a reduced image of an original x by y pixel image (57), each pixel being defined by three components in a 3-D colour space comprises dividing the original image into blocks, each block corresponding to a pixel in the reduced image; and, for each block, determining if all pixels have the same colour. If they do the corresponding pixel in the reduced image is made that same colour. If they do not, then determine the average value of each of the plurality of components in the blocks adjacent the block. If there is a unique identifiable background colour in the blocks adjacent the block, then locate the position of the colour in said 3-D colour space as a first point, locate the position of the average colour of the block in the 3-D colour space as a second point, and select as the colour of the corresponding pixel in the reduced image a colour at a point in said 3-D colour space which is a distance along a line connecting the first and second points which is in the same direction as and further from the first point than the second point.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly used for charging A power battery (2) of an electric vehicle includes a power source side connector (6) and a vehicle side connector (3). The power source side connector (6) is detachably connected to the vehicle side connector (3) mounted on the body (1) of an electric vehicle. A locking device (30) disposed in the power source side connector (6) is turned to a locking state with an ignition key (31) of the electric vehicle so that the connectors (6, 3) are locked in the mating engagement. Since the power source side connector (6) cannot be disconnected from the vehicle side connector (3), charging can be prevented from being inadvertently interrupted. The charging can be initiated only when the connectors (6, 3) are locked in the mating engagement.

Abstract: A switch housing for plural switches is formed of thermoplastic molded in a first stage with grooves or recesses. In a second stage molding process, the grooves are filled with platable thermoplastic which is subsequently plated with copper, nickel, or silver to provide conductive strips and exposed contact areas. A common switch actuator is slidably and rotatably mounted on the housing. Upon pushing the actuator is latched to actuate a switch; and, upon subsequent pushing the actuator is unlatched and the switch de-actuated. Upon rotation of the actuators, independently of the push-to-actuate movement, a second rotary switch is actuated. Both switches employ the two-stage molding and plating for forming integrally with the housing and the stationary contacts.

Abstract: A connector 1 has an instrument insertion passage 21 which is provided with a seal member 5 made from an elastic member formed with a seal member passage 51 having a narrowed portion 52. When a knob 61 is grasped and turned clockwise to turn a control body 6, the control body 6 is forced into the connector 1 and abuts the seal member 5 causing the seal member 5 to deform so as to reduce the inner diameter of the seal member 5, thereby enabling an instrument 15 to be held by the narrowed portion 52 in a fluid-tight manner which allows the instrument 15 to be slidable through the connector 1. Also, by turning the control body 6 further into the connector 1, the deformation of the seal member 5 can be increased to cause the narrowed portion 52 to fix the instrument 15 in place in a manner that prevents the instrument 15 from being slid through the connector 1.

Abstract: A digital audio broadcast receiving apparatus that minimizes a frequency at which the user switches between NICAM audio and analog audio. When a reserve audio switching flag C4 is "H", it indicates that analog audio and NICAM audio represent the same program, in which NICAM audio, which provides better sound quality, is automatically selected. If a broadcast receiving condition deteriorates, analog audio is automatically selected. Conversely, when the flag C4 is "L", it indicates that NICAM audio and analog audio represent two different programs. In this case, analog audio that is in synchronization with video is automatically selected. At this moment, it is possible that the user intentionally selects NICAM audio, which is not related to video, so that NICAM audio is not switched to analog audio even if NICAM audio has some noise. An audio switching point is shifted by changing a threshold for determining PCM data error rate or by changing a sampling time.

Abstract: The blowing nozzle assembly of a blow moulding machine is moved by an electrohydraulic drive from the start position at the beginning of the blowing cycle into the mould to form the bottle neck and is returned at the end of the blowing cycle. During the neck forming period the forward speed is reduced as a cutting edge comes into contact with the plastic material. The movement is speeded up during other parts of the cycle. A double-acting hydraulic cylinder (26) provides a linear drive and is controlled by a follower valve (28) which is set in a required position by an incrementally controlled electric servomotor (31). The actual position of the hydraulic cylinder is fed back to the valve mechanically. The servomotor (31) is governed by an electronic control unit (32) so that at the beginning of the rapid movement phase a required position is set beyond the blowing position, but that before this position is actually reached, the required position is set back to the blowing position.
