Patent EP-1098134-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKEYASU MITSURU
IPC: B63B22/16
Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: Inside a ring configuration of unit-type lenses 2a that
constitute a lens 2, several elliptically light
distributing LEDs 1, 1 are arranged around a horizontal
circumference in such a way that the wider divergence angle
of each LED 1 is oriented horizontally. The unit-type
lenses 2a, 2a are stacked and fastened with a screw 7 that
runs through the bosses 2b, 2b. As a result the horizontal
light distribution characteristics of the LEDs can be made
nearly concentric with only a few LEDs, thereby making it
possible to uniformly distribute light horizontally. It is
also possible to make the lighting fixture lighter and
smaller. By increasing or decreasing the number of unit-type
lenses 2a to be stacked, the number of tiers can be
easily changed. By using such LEDs with an extremely wide
horizontal divergence angle and a much narrower
perpendicular divergence angle than those of conventional
LEDs, lenses and the process for forming lenses become
unnecessary, resulting in lower costs.

Abstract: A contact device (2, 10) consisting of a helical spring
which is adapted for SMD mounting, and which is formed
with a base portion (4, 12) adapted to be positioned on
and attached to a contact face by soldering or gluing,
and with a top portion (6, 14) adapted for handling with
a tool (16) preferably associated with an SMD apparatus.
This provides the possibility of achieving a generally
better and less expensive contacting between components,
such as acoustic transducers, batteries or the like and
printed circuit boards by means of simple features. Constructing
the contact device as a screw or helical spring
provides a great safeguard against transfer of laterally
directed forces or moments from the contact face which
destroy the contact face and/or the solder connection
with the printed circuit. A tool (16) for handling the
contact device (2, 10) consists of a preferably vacuum-driven
mounting pick-up with a central control mandrel
(18) which fits internally in the top portion (6, 14) of
the contact device (2, 10), and which has an enclosing,
ring-shaped recess (20) adapted to the outer shape of the
top portion (6, 14) of the contact device (2, 10).

Abstract: A method and apparatus of warming a printhead (4) with a heat sink using
prepulsing is provided. A temperature of the printhead may be measured and then
using predetermined data, an amount of prewarming of the printhead may be
determined based on the measured temperature. The printhead may be prewarmed
by prepulses based on the determined amount of prewarming prior to printing a
swath of data. The swath of data may then be printed and the temperature of the
printhead may again be measured to determine a subsequent temperature and amount
of prewarming. The printhead may again be prewarmed prior to printing subsequent
swath by applying prepulse signals which are determined based on the subsequent
temperature of the printhead. The thermal mass of the heat sink may be used for the
advantage of minimizing the amount of required prewarming, and therefore,
maximizing the productivity, when the ambient temperature is low.

members (9) which, in turn, are mounted on the chassis (2)
of the vehicle by means of or by bearing units (5, 10)
comprising link elements and possibly a springing
function. The supporting member and the wheel are turnable
about a steering line (14) which slopes in a corresponding
manner to the supporting members. The bearing units form
separate upper and lower bearing units (5 and 10), which
are provided with bearing members in or about which the
said supporting members and the wheel are turnable.

rigid in their respective planes, which extend through the
respective securement points or bearings of the bearing
units in the chassis and the said supporting members. The
said upper bearing unit is arranged compliantly for
torsion or turning motions which arise in the bearing unit

Abstract: The invention relates to a position determining system, for receiving digital
telephone signals transmitted by a number of transmission sources BTS. In particular
there is described a method of estimating the offset in time of receipt of a broadcast signal
received at two locations (CBU,CRU), where the signal received at the one location
(CRU) may have been subject to corruption by multipath effects. To overcome this
problem, the signals received at the one location are auto-correlated and the signals
received at the other location are auto-correlated. The signals received at the two
locations are cross-correlated and a template comprising that portion of the auto-correlation
of the signals received at the other location corresponding to the negative time
axis, and that portion of the auto-correlation of the signals received at the one location
corresponding to the positive time axis is constructed. The offset at which the template
best fits the measured cross-correlation of the signals received at the two locations is
measured as an estimate of the time offset between the signals received at the two
locations.

Abstract: A signal processing method and apparatus to enhance demodulation performance of
receiving system utilizing the array antenna operating in various CDMA signal environments
such as IS95 CDMA system, or IS2000 1x CDMA system, etc. The method improves the
demodulation performance by applying a weight vector, which is computed in a signal
processing means of a CDMA system adopting the array antenna, to the signal vectors of
Walsh demodulation outputs. The key part of the invention is in the composite procedures of
finding the index D of the Walsh demodulation outputs, which corresponds to the 6-bit data
transmitted from a mobile terminal. More specifically, the invention provides a systematic
way of applying the weight vector to each of the 64 Walsh demodulation outputs, such that
one index out of the 64 indices corresponds to the largest magnitude. Also the invention
discloses how to compute the weight vector from received signals.
