Patent EP-0611022-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BAKER STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1989-12-05
Abstract: An apparatus for generating an image to be displayed on a display screen from data defining a model including a plurality of opaque and translucent features. The image is intended to represent a view of the model from a predetermined eyepoint and is made up from an array of screen space pixels to be displayed by a raster scanning process. Each pixel is of uniform colour and intensity, and the pixels together define an image area. The image area is divided into an array of sub-areas each of which covers at least one pixel. For each feature in the model that is potentially visible from the eyepoint, a test is conducted to determine which of the sub-areas is at least partially covered by that feature. A list of feature identifiers is produced in respect of each sub-area, the list for any one sub-area identifying features which at least partially cover that sub-area. The position in screen space of at least one sampling point within each sub-area is determined. For each sub-area in turn, and for each sampling point a test is conducted to determine which of the features in that sub-area's list cover that sampling point. For each feature which covers a sampling point, a function of the distance from the eyepoint to that feature at the sampling point is determined. Feature describing data is stored for each sampling point within a sub-area, the stored data being indicative of at least the distance of the opaque feature which covers the sampling point and is nearest to the eyepoint and the distance and translucency of at least one nearer translucent feature which covers the sampling point. An output is produced for each sampling point within a sub-area, the sampling point output corresponding to the combined effects of the features identified by the stored data. An output for each pixel within a sub-area is produced, the pixel output corresponding to the combined effects of the sampling point outputs for all sampling points which contribute to that pixel, and the pixel outputs are displayed.

Abstract: Bothway optical communication is carried out through wavelength division multiplex system between two terminal stations (11a, 12a), each having a two-beam interference type filter (15) coupled with an optical cable (10) for multiplexing and/or de-multiplexing transmit light and receive light. The filter (15) has pass bands and attenuation bands periodically for wavelength in the communication wavelength band. Wavelength of transmit light is essentially the same as wavelength of receive light in each terminal station, with small offset of two wavelengths less than 5 nm. Oscillation wavelength of the laser (21) for transmission is adjusted so that it coincides with pass band of the filter, which doubles as reference wavelength of oscillation wavelength of the laser. Preferably, said two-beam interference type filter (15) is a Mach Zehnder type asymmetrical interferometer having a pair of directional couplers ((F1, F2) connected to each other through a pair of optical fibers (f1, f2) so that the period of pass bands and/or attenuation bands of the filter (15) is adjustable.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for measuring the thermal conductivity of materials using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). Two MDSC heat capacity measurements are made consecutively. One measurement is made under conditions which ensure obtaining a fairly accurate value for the heat capacity of the material. Another measurement is made under conditions such that the measured effective heat capacity differs from the accurate value of the heat capacity due to thermal conductivity effects. The thermal conductivity of the material is then calculated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet feeding apparatus comprising sheet containing means which containing sheets and removably mounted to a main body of the sheet feeding apparatus, separation means including convey means and a separation member urged against the convey means with predetermined separating pressure to separate the sheets fed out from the sheet containing means mounted on the body of the sheet feeding apparatus one by one, and pressure increasing means for increasing contact pressure between the convey means and the separation member above the predetermined separating pressure. Wherein the pressure increasing means increases the contact pressure until the mounting of the sheet containing means to the body of the sheet feeding apparatus is completed. Whereby, even if the sheet containing means is inserted into the sheet feeding apparatus vigorously, the sheets are prevented from entering between the convey means and the separation member, thereby preventing the poor sheet separation.

Abstract: A cordless telephone provides for improved conservation of battery power in a handset unit when this unit is located remote from an associated base unit and in a standby state for a prolonged period of time. While the handset unit is in the standby state for less than a predetermined time period, this unit resides in a low-power monitoring mode which includes deactivating certain internal circuitry and reducing by a first time period the on-time state of other internal circuitry for conserving battery power. After being in the standby state for greater than the predetermined time period, the handset unit continues to reside in the low-power monitoring mode, but further reduces by a second time period the on-time state of the other internal circuitry for greater conservation of battery power. Communications between the handset unit and the base unit is easily reestablished by either one of these units irrespective of the time that the handset unit has been in the standby state.

Abstract: A housing (10) for use with an electrical heater (H) mounted on the sidewall (S) of a container (C) for heating a fluid (L) in the container. A heating element (R) is installed in a fitting (F), and the housing (10) facilitates connection of electrical conductors (E) to the heater (H) regardless of its location. A base (12) has an opening in which the fitting is received. The base (12) is positioned against the sidewall when the heater (H) is installed. A cover (36) is sized to fit over the base (12) and attaches thereto. The base (12) has an opening (22) therein through which the electrical conductors (E) are routed for connection to an outer end of the heating element (R). A ring (26) is used to attach the heater (H) to the base (12). The base (12) captures the one end of the fitting (F) so the base (12) is freely rotatable with respect thereto. Rotation of the base (12) positions the cover (36) so the conductor opening (22) is readily accessible to an installer thereby to facilitate connection of the conductors (E) to the heating element (R) regardless of the heater location.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating versioning and editing of data repositories is disclosed. A data repository consists of a number of packages, each having at least one package version that includes at least one component. A version handler is uniquely associated with a package version being edited and monitors all versioning commands associated with that package version. A component handler is uniquely associated with a component being edited or a component in an editing chain. When associated with a component being edited, a component handler forms the exclusive interface between that component and the editor and monitors all editing actions taken with respect to its associated component. Other component handlers act as communications links between their child component handler and one parent handler (e.g., a top-level component handler is coupled to the version handler associated with the same package). By monitoring all editing actions, the present system is able to respond to versioning commands issued by a user in a coordinated manner so as to rigorously maintain configuration management. For example, in response to a user issuing an advance command, the present system constructs a new package version including components modified since the last advance and sharing components with back versions, which are retained intact. To support this coordination, the handlers are implemented as objects that encapsulate handler routines and abstract interfaces. Interfaces between a component handler and the editor opened on the component handler's component are customizable so that any editor can be used with the present system.
