Patent DE-19949515-A1 (DE)
Inventor: POECHMUELLER WERNER
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: A camera with an objective and a sensor serving as an optoelectronic transducer is known in prior art. Said camera can be used, for instance, to monitor traffic in a vehicle or to assist during reverse driving. Conventional CCD sensors have limited brightness dynamics thus making it necessary to provide a controllable diaphragm or a brightness control device for the objective. Novel semiconductor sensors have substantially higher brightness dynamics in the range of 120 dB and can utilize all brightness values occurring in practice without a controllable diaphragm. In a camera having no controllable diaphragm, the entire amount of light always hits the objective. In the presence of intensive brightness, this causes considerable scatterings and reflections and ghost images in the resulting picture. The invention aims at making it possible to achieve practically no disturbing reflections even when no controllable diaphragms are used. This is achieved by combining a sensor (5) having a non-linear conversion characteristic curve (W) and high brightness dynamics and an objective having means for reducing reflections and scattered light. Said means consist, for instance, of an optical gel (8) mounted between the components of the objective or a special configuration of the lens (2, 3) and/or the holder (1) receiving the lens.

Title: Projektionsfernsehgerät mit Paritätsfehlerüberprüfung
Inventor: GLEIM GUENTER
IPC: H04N9/28
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Projektionsfernsehgerät, insbesondere ein Projektionsfernsehgerät mit einer Konvergenzkorrektur. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Projektionsfernsehgerät werden die Abbildungen von drei monochromatischen Farbbildröhren derart beeinflußt, daß diese unter Vermeidung geometrischer Verzerrungen auf einem Schirm zur Deckung gelangen. Diese Beeinflussung wird durch eine Konvergenzeinrichtung erreicht, die an den Bildröhren angeordnete Konvergenzablenkspulen mit entsprechenden Konvergenzströmen beaufschlagt. Die Konvergenzkorrektur wird anhand von Korrekturwerten vorgenommen, die in einem RAM-Speicher abgespeichert sind. Diese Daten werden beim Einschalten des Gerätes aus einem nicht flüchtigen Speicher in den RAM-Speicher kopiert. Erfindungsgemäß untersucht die Steuerschaltung die kopierten Konvergenzdaten auf Fehler, um sicherzustellen, daß keine fehlerhaften Konvergenzdaten zur Konvergenzkorrektur verwendet werden.
Patent DE-19961846-A1 (DE)
Title: Drive control for the reciprocating yarn guide at a bobbin winder gives a periodic stroke length change at the bobbin ends with a gradual reduction and a gradual increase between the max and min stroke lengths
Inventor: FLOSFEDER BRUNO
IPC: B65H54/32
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The drive for the reciprocating yarn guide (4) at a bobbin winder, to produce cross wound bobbins (3), is controlled by a damper (B) between the drive (A) and the reciprocating yarn guide rod (5,5',5) on the alignment of the stroke movements. The stroke movements of the reciprocating yarn guide rod (5,5',5) are set at the bobbin ends periodically between max. and min. stroke lengths where there is initially a gradual reduction followed by a gradual increase.  The damper (B) has a slide (8) which is operated by the drive (A) to give a max. reciprocating stroke length and a damping component (9) at the rod (5,5',5) gives an overlaid movement from the slide (8) to give a gradual reduction or increase in the stroke length taken by the yarn guide. The slide (8) has a hydraulic cylinder which is divided into two cylinder chambers (8a,8b) by the damping piston (9). The chamber vols. are varied by the feed/extraction of a hydraulic fluid at the cylinder chambers (8a,8b) on either side of the damping piston (9), to increase/decrease the stroke length of the reciprocating yarn guide rod. Both cylinder chambers (8a,8b) are linked to corresponding secondary hydraulic cylinder chambers (101,10b) containing secondary pistons (11a,11b), to give a double stroke action in alternating and opposite directions during the stroke length reduction/increase phases. The axes of the secondary cylinders (10a,10b) are parallel to each other, and are at right angles to the stroke movement of the slide (8). The secondary pistons (11a,11b) form external projecting push rods, with rollers (12a,12b) to ride along two-part guide rails (13.1,13.2) which pivot at their outer ends and come together at the center setting of the slide (8). The two guide rail sections (13.1,13.2) can be set against each other between a rest position, parallel to the movement line of the slide (8), and at an angle to each other which is  <= 180 deg . The two rail sections (13.1,13.2) are set by a carrier (15) which is moved up and down under cam control. The control cam is a rotating disk (16), where an arc section of its circumference represents the rest position of the guide rails (13.1,13.2), and the eccentric arc section of the circumference controls the rail movement from the rest setting into an angular pitch against each other. The arc section covers an angle of 200-220 deg . The cam disk (16) acts on a sprung piston (19) in a hydraulic cylinder (18), which gives a hydraulic control to the positioning movements of the guide rail sections (13.1,13.2). A further hydraulic cylinder (20) is divided into two chambers (20a,20b) by a sprung piston (21), which are fed with hydraulic fluid from the first cylinder (18). The piston rod (21.1) acts on the guide rail carrier (15). A computer controlled pump reverses the hydraulic flow in the two cylinder chambers (8a,8b).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un jeu d'empilage comprenant une pluralité de dés pouvant s'empiler par couche et un manchon allongé comportant quatre côtés plans formant un intérieur de retenue des dés du jeu, par couche. Des ouvertures sont ménagées dans les côtés et coïncident avec les couches de dés, et sont dimensionnées de façon à y faire passer les dés. Ces dés ont une forme cuboïde, comportent des signes de couleur sur leurs faces, et sont insérés à l'intérieur du manchon, par couche de quatre. Ce jeu d'empilage consiste à attribuer à chaque joueur un signe différent, chaque joueur éjectant ensuite, tour à tour, l'un des dés de l'intérieur du manchon en appuyant un dé du jeu déjà éjecté par l'une des ouvertures contre un dé opposé à celui devant être éjecté. En général, chaque joueur note le signe de la face supérieure du dé précédemment éjecté, et appuie ensuite ce dé contre le signe d'un dé du manchon correspondant au signe noté. Toutefois, si le signe de la face supérieure du dé éjecté par un joueur correspond au signe attribué au joueur, le joueur rejoue et a le droit d'appuyer le dé éjecté contre n'importe quel dé se trouvant dans le manchon. Les joueurs reprennent leur tour en éjectant les pièces jusqu'à ce que tous les signes de couleur adjacents à l'un des côtés correspondent aux signes qui leur ont été attribués.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une architecture de pipeline de processeur du type à réseaux multiples «ManArray» permet l'accès à une mémoire indirecte (206) de mots d'instruction très longs, sans augmenter le temps de latence de ramification, étant donné que ce pipeline d'instruction peut être reconfiguré de manière dynamique pour des mots d'instruction courts (241, 243, ... 249) nécessitant l'extraction d'un mot très long. En introduisant un cycle supplémentaire dans le pipeline, seulement lorsque l'extraction d'un mot très long est requise, l'invention résout le problème d'accès à la mémoire de mots d'instruction très longs (206). Le pipeline reste à l'état élargi, en général, jusqu'à ce qu'une opération de mémoire de mots d'instruction très longs (206) soit détectée, renvoyant le pipeline à une opération de pipeline compressé. En compressant le pipeline, lorsqu'une opération du type ramification est détectée, il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir un cycle complémentaire pour une opération de ramification. En conséquence, le pipeline plus court, compressé, est doté de performances plus efficaces pour un code de commande intensif de ramification, par comparaison avec le pipeline fixe possédant un certain nombre élargi d'étages de pipeline. En outre, ce pipeline que l'on peut reconfigurer de manière dynamique peut être échelonné, de sorte qu'il permet à chaque élément de traitement d'un groupe d'éléments de traitement d'élargir et compresser le pipeline de manière synchronisée, permettant que les opérations de mots d'instruction très longs puissent s'exécuter indépendamment dans chaque élément de traitement, ce qui peut se faire par le biais de pipelines répartis et fonctionnant en parallèle, un dans chaque élément de traitement et dans le processeur de séquences du module de commande.
