Abstract: Un mode de réalisation de l'invention concerne un système d'épreuvage à l'écran faisant intervenir une ou plusieurs caractéristiques permettant de mettre en oeuvre des conditions de visualisation contrôlée. Par exemple, l'invention permet d'obtenir un système d'épreuvage à l'écran dans lequel un administrateur peut commander le processus d'épreuvage en limitant ou en restreignant la définition d'une image jusqu'à ce que des conditions d'observation acceptables soient atteintes. L'image peut comprendre une série de conditions de visualisation associées, pouvant être précisées par l'administrateur. Lorsque l'image est transmise à un poste de visualisation, la définition de l'image peut être limitée jusqu'à ce qu'une ou plusieurs conditions de visualisation soient remplies au niveau du poste de visualisation. Ces conditions de visualisation contrôlée permettent aux réviseurs d'épreuve-écran d'obtenir une sortie plus uniforme.

Abstract: Disclosed is a column-type shift lever structure for an
automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode, which
permits a diver to manually shift a gear at his convenience,
thus providing more dynamic driving feel and improving
performance and convenience of the vehicle. This column-type
shift lever structure comprises an upper plate which is rotated

perform catching and releasing actions when the shift lever is
pivoted, and a cable actuating lever which is pivoted by a ball
joint to actuate a T/M control cable. The shift lever can be
rotated to a predetermined manual shifting mode set up by the
lower plate. A select switch is provided for transmitting a
signal causing the transmission to be converted from a driving
mode to a manual shifting mode or vice versa to a TCU. Also, a
switch part is provided for sensing the pivoting operations of
the shift lever as shifting signals, respectively and to
transmit the signals to the TCU.

Abstract: A semi-automatic cleaning system for removing debris from internal walls
of a heat exchanger, or the like, having a plurality of tubes arranged in parallel with each
other and ends of the tubes periodically spaced along a spacing line in a plane
perpendicular to the tubes. A tool of the system is mounded along the spacing line and a
fluid delivery device for providing a high-pressure fluid through each tube is moved from
tube opening to tube opening in an automated manner following an initial setup
procedure to determine a spacing distance. The spacing distance is revised with
movement to each tube opening, so as to correct for any deviation from the nominal tube
spacing. The system can include a cleaning device which is inserted into each tube, prior
to providing the high-pressure fluid, to scrape and remove deposits, debris, and the like
from the internal walls. A pressure sensing device and associated control mechanism are
used to determine an exit of the cleaning device so as to enable movement to a next tube
for cleaning, and to minimize the time required for cleaning the plurality of tubes.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that is capable of
appropriately assigning radio resource even when a
propagation quality changes. After receiving the
required communication rate from the mobile station,
the base station measures the maximum used radio
resource, and multiplies the maximum used radio
resource by a factor α. Next, the base station
subtracts the above result from the total radio
resource and obtains the maximum assignable radio
resource. Then, the base station calculates an
admissible communication rate based on the maximum
assignable radio resources. Then, if the required
communication rate is less than or equal to the
admissible communication rate, the base station
admits the request.
