Inventor: SHIOJI MITSUAKI
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 1991-01-02
Abstract: A pair of substrates (52,53) sandwiching a liquid crystal layer (61) carry first and second segment electrodes (54,55) on one substrate, and first and second common electrodes (59,60) on the other substrate. These electrodes are arranged so as to define three independently controllable display areas. A color filter layer (58) formed on either of the substrates provides color filters of red, green and blue color in respective correspondence with the three display areas. As a result, diversity of color display is achieved in a simplified device structure.

Abstract: A dual capacitor device for utilizing dependent capacitances for measurement purposes comprises a first capacitor base member 35 and a second capacitance base member 37 arranged with facing surfaces. The facing surfaces have capacitor surfaces defining four capacitors C1-C4. A first pair of these capacitors C1, C2 are located on opposite sides relative to a transverse central plane to define measurement capacitors and a second pair C3, C4 also located on opposite sides relative to the transverse plane define reference capacitors. The second capacitor base member 37 has a center section 37a connected to an outer peripheral section 37b of the second capacitor base member by torsion beam means. The measurement capacitors are located on the outer section 37b and said reference capacitors are located on said center section 37a which is also fixed relative to the first capacitor base member by attachment means 42. The torsion beam means having a displacement axis related to said facing surfaces so that angular displacement of the outer section 37b of the second capacitor base member relative to said center section 37a about said displacement axis produces a dependent capacitance change in the measurement capacitors. Application of a force to the outer section of said second capacitor base member produces a torsion force on said torsion beam means and causes an angular displacement of said outer section and a capacitance change in the measurement capacitors as a function of said torsion force where said capacitance change is independent from the capacitance of said reference capacitors.

Abstract: When an apparatus C which shares the media with apparatuses A and B desires to transmit an RTS packet, apparatus C inhibits transmission of the RTS packet for a fixed waiting time Tm plus a transmission inhibition period which varies depending on a type of a packet in a sensed carrier. In other words, when apparatus C senses an RTS packet of apparatus A, apparatus C inhibits transmission for a packet transmission inhibition period 101 resulting from reception of RTS. When apparatus C senses a CTS packet of apparatus B, apparatus C inhibits transmission for a packet transmission inhibition period 102 resulting from reception of CTS. When apparatus C senses a data packet, apparatus C inhibits transmission for a packet transmission inhibition period 103 resulting from reception of a data packet. When apparatus C senses an ACK packet of apparatus B, apparatus C inhibits transmission for a packet transmission inhibition period 104 resulting from reception of an ACK. As a result, a data communication apparatus which achieves efficient communication between a plurality of data communication apparatuses which share the same media is provided.

Abstract: La présente invention, qui relève de la technique de la topographie cornéenne, apporte notamment des éléments nouveaux car elle présente de nombreuses méthodes et appareillages susceptibles de faire progresser la précision de cette topographie et d'en faciliter le travail. Plus particulièrement, en sus d'un appareil de prise de vues de face (304), l'invention présente un appareil pour les vues latérales (temporales) permettant de visionner la cornée ou d'autres surfaces réfléchissantes. L'appareil de prise de vues latérales (302, 303) permet de saisir une image vraie de la cornée ainsi que la réflexion des formes du disque de Placido. L'information que ces images recèlent permet de découvrir systématiquement l'apex, l'emplacement du limbus ainsi que le profil vertical et la courbure vers le limbus. Les possibilités offertes par cette invention débouchent sur l'amélioration des méthodes d'auto-étalonnage et d'autopositionnement ainsi que sur d'autres avantages dans le domaine de la cartographie de la cornée.

Abstract: A spatial light modulator based imaging system (30) with improved peak white performance characteristics. The apparent dynamic range of the spatial light modulator (74) is increased by adding light to pixels neighboring a saturated pixel. An apparent bloom effect is created with the pixels neighboring the saturated pixel appearing brighter, to give sunlight reflecting from the surface of a lake, for instance, more sparkle or highlights. Charts or equations are utilized to determine the degree to which pixel brightness is increased for neighboring pixels. The closer a pixel to a saturated pixel, and the greater the saturation of a particular pixel, the greater increase in brightness for neighboring pixels.

Abstract: A stoneblower having a workhead and associated blowing tubes that adjust to skewed ties and to nonvertical tie faces. The workhead provided several degrees of movement to the blowing tubes, enabling them to be individually aligned with each tie along the length of track being worked. The blowing tubes can be pre-tilted to match the face angle of the ties. Proper location of the blow tubes is detected by monitoring the tilt change of the tube engendered when the tubes engage the ties. The blowing tubes include an elongated stone exit opening that extends both above and below the tie when the tube is inserted into the ballast. The opening therefore provides a stone discharge below the tie and an overflow above the tie. A finger extends from the lower end of the blowing tube to enable the stoneblower to sense the location of the railroad track ties without scooping ballast into the tube openings.

Abstract: A system and method are described for determining a near-optimum subset of 
data, based on a selected model, from a large corpus of data. Sets of feature vectors 
corresponding to natural or other preselected divisions of the data corpus are mapped 
into matrices representative of such divisions. The invention operates to find a 
submatrix of full rank formed as a union of one or more of those division-based 
matrices. A greedy algorithm utilizing Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization operates 
on the division matrices to find a near optimum submatrix and in a time bound 
representing a substantial improvement over prior-art methods. An important 
application of the invention is the selection of a small number of sentences from a 
corpus of a very large number of such sentences from which the parameters of a 
duration model for speech synthesis can be estimated.
