Patent EP-1434040-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ITO HIDEKI
IPC: B60K15/077
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A meter microcomputer (10) provided in the fuel quantitydisplay
device(2) is connected to a battery(14) through an ignition
switch(12). The meter microcomputer(10) obtains an ON/OFF signal
for an accessory terminal(12a) and an ignition terminal(12b) so
as to detect an engine start based on the result. Thereafter, the
meter microcomputer(10) compares the remaining fuel quantity
detected by fuel quantity detection devices(18a,18b) and the
remaining fuel quantity stored immediately before the previous
turn-OFF operation of the ignition terminal(12b). Based on the
result of comparison, the meter microcomputer(10) determines whether
the fuel is fed or not. In addition, the meter microcomputer(10)
determines a gradient based on an estimated gradient value detected
by an AT control microcomputer (20), and calculates a value indicating
the remaining fuel quantity, based on the result of determination
for fueling and the determination result of a gradient so as to
display it on the display meter(24).

(260). The system memory structure includes a user
interaction module (254), which allows a user to select
image objects without pre-selecting an element selection
mode, as well as data memory.

Abstract: A bladed rotor features a tiered interface between each
blade  40  and their respective slots  16  in a rotor hub  12. 
Ideally the interface is a tiered spacer  58  that occupies
the hub slot  16  radially inboard of the blade attachment  44 .
The spacer  58  ensures a tight fit to resist windmilling
induced wear. The tiered character of the spacer  58  reduces
the risk of damage during blade installation and removal.
The spacer  58  also helps to transmit axial loads to a snap
ring  60 , which is one component of a blade axial retention
system, during a blade separation event.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'injection par électroporation intramusculaire d'un ADNc d'hormone libérant l'hormone de croissance ('GHRH') résistant à la protéase dans les rats femelles à 16 jours de gestation qui résulte en la croissance à long terme améliorée de la progéniture F1. La progéniture est sensiblement plus lourde à l'âge d'une semaine et la différence est soutenue jusqu'à l'âge de 10 semaines. En conformité avec sa croissance accrue, la concentration du plasma IGF-I de la progéniture F1 s'accroît sensiblement. L'hypophyse de la progéniture est sensiblement plus lourde et contient un nombre accru de somatotropes (cellules produisant de l'hormone de croissance, GH) et de lactotrophes (cellules sécrétant de la prolactine), et constitue une indication d'une modification au niveau des lignées cellulaires. Ces résultats uniques démontrent qu'une expression de GHRH améliorée chez les femelles portantes peut favoriser une croissance intergénérationnelle en modifiant le développement de l'hypophyse chez la progéniture.

Title: Means to connect a small diameter lead
Inventor: BELDEN ELISABETH
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a practical, multi-polar, in-line connector system for use in connecting implantable medical devices (IMD) and associated non-standard, low profile medical electrical leads. In addition, the present invention provides a system that uses tool less, frictional, sealed, compressive electrical connections for most or all of the electrical interconnections between an IMD and a low profile lead. A protective sleeve seals the lead connector to the non-standard port to prevent intrusion of body fluids therein. In addition, optional microchip-based circuitry coupled to the sleeve enables wireless communication and remote programming for diverse IMDs. Memory associated with the circuitry can store, update and reprogram a wide variety of information relevant to the IMD, the patient, and the attending physician, among others. For example, the microchip may be used to identify the lead type and characteristics, as well as other useful data.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un détecteur matriciel à plan focal d'un
détecteur destiné à l'imagerie infrarouge. La capture
pixel par pixel et la numérisation s'effectuent dans un circuit intégré
comprenant la matrice d'imagerie. La charge de chaque pixel est accumulée
dans un condensateur, et un dénumériseur annule cette charge. Un
contrôleur commande ce dénumériseur des charges. Ce qui donne
la valeur appropriée de la charge. Un numériseur comprenant un comparateur
met en circuit/hors circuit le contrôleur. Selon certains modes d'exécution,
un dispositif programmable extérieur au détecteur participe à
la commande du numériseur. Selon un mode d'exécution particulière
de cette invention, un générateur de cycles commande la sortie des
charges du numériseur. Selon un mode d'exécution préféré,
tous ces numériseurs sont regroupés de manière à fonctionner
simultanément comme tous les groupes de numériseurs.

Abstract: A mechanism that allow one wireless computing system to communicate with
another even though they are out of range of each other transmitter/receiver circuitry,
and without requiring dedicated external equipment to facilitate the communication.
Instead, intermediary wireless computing system may facilitate the communication.
Upon receive a request to communicate with a destination wireless device, each
intermediary computing system discovers available wireless communications, and
forwards the communication to them. The next intermediary computing system does
the same, and so on and so forth, until the destination wireless device receives the
wireless communication. The response is returned via the same path in reverse.
Accordingly, the source wireless computing system may discover a possible wireless
path to the destination wireless device. Possible wireless paths may be added and
deleted as those wireless paths are destroyed and created, respectively, due to the
mobility of the wireless computing systems.

Abstract: A system comprises a liquid crystal display viewable from front and side view
points, and comprising a plurality of pixels having corresponding original luminance
values, a plurality of data lines in the display, a plurality of data drivers for driving the
data lines, and an adjusted gray scale generator for adjusting gray scales of the

lines at double the frequency.
Original gray scales correspond to the original normalized luminance of
front views and side views. For the adjusted gray scales stored in the
look up table corresponding to the original gray scales, the sum of the
absolute value of the difference between the adjusted normalized
luminance values for the front and side views should be less than the sum of
the absolute value of the difference between the original normalized
luminance values for the front and side views in order to minimise color
shifting between the front and side views.
