more transceivers (200, 201, 202; 902) each of which contains
a transmitter (301) for transmitting a wave and a
receiver (302) for receiving a reflection of the wave
transmitted from the transmitter (301), wherein at least three
of said transceivers (200, 201, 202; 902) are placed outside a
cylindrical area whose axis of symmetry passes through a point
on the floor of the vehicle, three straight lines which
respectively pass through said transceivers (200, 201, 202;
902) perpendicularly thereto intersect with each other or
skewed in said cylindrical area, and the transmitter (301) of
each transceiver (200, 201, 202; 902) is at a preset angle

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device provided with an audio signal processing function, which includes an audio signal processing circuit with a large S/N ratio and a small glitch is provided. The display device of the invention includes a resistor string D/A converter circuit whose dynamic range can be increased by using a common power supply for a D/A converter circuit and a signal line driver circuit. Accordingly, a glitch generated in the D/A converter circuit can be reduced relatively to an audio signal and an S/N ratio of the D/A converted signal can thus be increased.

Abstract: A gear portion (26) is provided on the inner peripheral surface of a dial (24), and a large diameter portion (28) of a main driving gear (27) is mated with the gear portion (26). A driven gear (31) is mated with a small diameter portion (29) of the main driving gear (27), and the state of an air conditioner is switched based on the moving operation of a cable (15) through the gear portion, the main driving gear and the driven gear in the rotating operation of the dial. With this structure, it is not necessary to provide a rotary shaft as a member for transmitting an operating force to the central part or the dial. Consequently, it is possible to maintain a space in the central part of the dial. Thus, restrictions can be decreased in the case in which a knob is to be arranged.

Abstract: A speech interval detecting method and a speech interval detecting device are provided which allow to decide whether an acoustic input signal is speech or not. A frame power of an input signal data is calculated in units of a predetermined frame width at a predetermined time interval, and then a maximum value and a minimum value of the frame power within a past predetermined time period are held in respective latches (33,34). A threshold value for power is decided, changed according to the maximum value being held and depending on the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value (35). The threshold value is compared with the power of a current frame to decide whether or not the current frame belongs to a speech interval or to a non-speech interval (36).

Abstract: A motor overload preventing apparatus for a vacuum cleaner includes a damper body and an resilient member. The damper body has an opening/closing portion formed on one end, to selectively block a tapered aperture of a body frame of the vacuum cleaner, and the opening/closing portion is tapered to correspond in shape with the aperture. The resilient member resiliently biases the opening/closing portion toward a direction of closing the aperture. The damper body is movably disposed to rotate so as to selectively open and close the aperture, and to this end, it is preferred that the damper body is connected by a hinge to the body frame. Satisfactory sealing can be ensured even when there is surface contact between the opening/closing portion and the aperture without requiring additional material, such as a rubber. Additionally, the number of components can be reduced, and with the omission of flexible material, such as rubber, the manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Abstract: A signal processing apparatus includes a nonlinear filter (12), a pattern detector (15), and a switch (16). The nonlinear filter filters an input image signal to the effect that a steep edge whose size is larger than a predetermined threshold determined from fluctuations of pixels of the input image signal is passed and, at the same time, smoothes a non-edge portion that does not include the edge. The pattern detector detects a fine edge in the fluctuations of the pixels constituting the input image signal and notifies the switch that the fine edge exists. The switch outputs the input image signal or the filtered image signal output from the nonlinear filter in accordance with the notification from the pattern detector (15).

Abstract: A three-dimensional map is displayed on a screen, and text data with different levels of density are displayed according to distances from a view point of the displayed three-dimensional map to nodes where the text data will be displayed, thereby improving readability of the text data. Further, it is possible to display the text data by locally adjusting the density of the text data on the screen. 
     The three-dimensional map is displayed on the screen of a display panel by converting map data with two-dimensional coordinates into those with three-dimensional coordinates by means of a perspective projection method. Text data to be displayed together with the three-dimensional map are converted into those in a three-dimensional coordinate system with an origin defined by the view point of the three-dimensional map. The converted text data are projected on a two-dimensional plane to be converted into those with screen coordinates. Then, distances from the view point of the displayed three-dimensional map to the nodes where the text data will be displayed are classified. The classified distances are determined for the converted text data with the screen coordinates. Text data of levels corresponding to the determined distances are displayed on the screen of the display panel on which the three-dimensional map is displayed.

Abstract: A surgical suture is made of an elongate, hollow braid of high strength fibers, include ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The braid defines an elongate, longitudinally-extending, central chamber that is open and without any core material extending therein so that, when a surgeon's knot is tied with the suture, the cross-sectional shape of the braid collapses upon itself and is reduced in size in response to pressures experienced when the knot is tightened thereby producing a low profile knot that resists slippage. Preferably, the braid is of a size corresponding to a USP size 5-0 to USP size 7 suture and has one or more, preferably a pair, of color contrasting monofilaments woven therein to enhance suture visibility. Methods of making a flattened suture and of utilizing the high strength suture to maintain body tissues in an engaged position to promote healing are also provided.
