Patent EP-0738085-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIYANO TOSHIKI
IPC: H04N9/04
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: The present invention provides an auto white balance adjusting device which can appropriately adjust the white balance. A brightest block searching circuit (8) obtains blocks having block representative values, each R,G,B component of which is greater than a respective predetermined threshold value, and selects the brightest one out of the obtained blocks. A brightest block average value calculating circuit (9) obtains an average of the block representative values distributed in the image signal area of a chromaticity near to that of the brightest block. This brightest block average value is thought to be highly influenced by a predominant light source in taking the picture. The white balance can be appropriately adjusted by using this value, irrespective of the kinds of light sources.

Abstract: In an electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus performing a prestroke control, a prestroke amount is reduced or the prestroke control is inhibited when the engine is operated under a condition of high-speed and small injection amount. The prestroke amount is determined based on an engine speed and a fuel injection amount. The prestroke amount is decreased as an engine speed of the diesel engine is increased and as the target fuel injection amount is decreased so that an uncontrollable state of a fuel injection amount is eliminated when the diesel engine is operated in a high-speed and small injection amount condition. An execution of the prestroke control may be inhibited when it is determined that the diesel engine is operated in a high-speed and small injection amount condition which causes an uncontrollable state of the fuel injection amount.

Abstract: The inclination sensor contains a body (3) whose position varies w.r.t. a housing subject to inclination and which is subjected to a magnetic field and a sensor (12) which is fixed w.r.t. the housing for detection of the variation of the direction of the magnetic field. The variable position body is a rotary pendulum which remains in its rest position in the vertical direction (9) as a result of a small asymmetry in weight. The rotary pendulum produces magnetic field lines (B) whose direction varies with the change in the rotation angle ( alpha ) of the pendulum w.r.t. the housing.

Abstract: The plastic injection moulding machine has an injection cylinder with screw, which takes power for both linear and rotary motion, from a single motor. In the novel arrangement, the drive motor (41) is a servomotor. An hydraulic cylinder (24, 26) provides linear motion, connected (22, 23) in closed circuit with a pump (21). The screw (14) drive shaft (15) is rotated by the motor (31), and corresponds with the piston rod (25). The motor has supply- (32) and return- (33) lines connected to a flow line (22), which includes a controllable non-return valve (nrv) (63), operated by a two-way valve (66). Pref. in the line (23) connecting the cylinder (26) of the linear drive to the pump, there is an nrv (61). During hydraulic rotary drive, the nrv (61) is connected directly via the flow line (67) to the return line (33). A proportional pressure valve (71) is connected to the cylinder (26) of the linear valve. The linear drive has at least one equal piston cylinder unit (24, 26), i.e. a double acting piston unit with equal working areas. The piston cylinder unit is connected by a yoke (17) or its counterpart (18) with the injection cylinder (11) and also to the drive shaft (15) on the screw side. Between the motor drive shaft (34) and the piston rod (25) there is a coupling (52).

Abstract: Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) of high density, preferably of the SiC/SiC type, are provided by a production process based on the infiltration of ceramic fibre cloths with a polymeric precursor solution containing, as fillers, inert powders having size much lower than the mean distance among the ceramic fibres which are used as basic material for the manufacturing of CMC, typically a nanometric granulometry. Such step is followed by the steps of hardening the cloths, pyrolysis of the polymer and repeated thickenings until the desired density is reached. A possible preliminary step consists of a brief (≤ 24 hours) treatment of infiltration of SiC from the vapor phase (CVI) with precursors and typical operative parameters for the deposition of silicon carbide.
