Title: Image forming and data storage
IPC: G11B7/24079
Filed: 1983-12-06
Abstract: @ A method of forming an image and a radiation-sensitive medium suitable for carrying an image is disclosed. The medium comprises a substrate having a surface structure comprising grooves with a depth of 20 to 100 nanometers. At or close to the surface structure there is a layer of radiation-responsive material which is such that irradiation of selected parts of the structure with radiation of a predetermined polarisation causes radiation to be absorbed at the irradiated parts of the surface so that corresponding areas of the radiation-responsive layer are affected in a way which makes such areas distinguishable from the remaining, non-irradiated areas of the radiation-responsive layer. An image and/or data may be stored in such a medium in analogue, digital or pictorial form, or in a combination of any two or all three of these forms. The invention also provides primary and secondary pre-formed data carrying media, the secondary media being replicated from the primary media. A primary pre-formed data carrying medium is formed by selectively irradiating a radiation-sensitive medium of the invention so as to form an image representative of a predetermined amount of data.

Patent EP-0159463-A3 (EP)
IPC: G10L15/06
Filed: 1985-01-15
Abstract: A probabilistic learning system of the type that receives 
sequential input data and outputs sequences of recognized 
patterns includes an array of interconnected probabilistic 
learning elements of the type that receives sequences of 
objects and outputs sequences of recognized states, said 
array of learning elements being interconnected to have a 
number of input learning elements and a number of output 
learning elements. The input data is partitioned between the 
input learning elements of the array so that the partitioned 
input data forms objects provided to the learning elements 
in an overlapping and redundant manner. The output 
sequences of recognized states from the output learning 
elements are collected and combined to provide a sequence 
of recognized patterns as an output of the probabilistic 
learning system. The reliability of the learning system is 
enhanced due to the overlapping and redundant nature in 
which the input objects are processed through the system 
and the time required to perform the system task is reduced 
through the use of parallel processing through the array. 
Each element of the array provides a signal corresponding 
to a rating of confidence in the recognized states and this 
rating of confidence is fed back to the input of the element 
to cause the element to learn the recognized states when 
the rating of confidence exceeds a predetermined threshold 
level. The rating of confidence is also provided to the inputs 
of prior elements in the array to cause the prior elements 
to learn their recognized states when the rating of con­
fidence exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Patent EP-0211441-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04N5/359
Filed: 1986-08-05
Abstract: In a CCD delay line having an input stage and a transfer 
stage, a signal charge produced at the input stage and 
transferred to the transfer stage is decreased at a region of 
the transfer stage which is near the input stage. Since the 
signal charge to be transferred is decreased, power consumption 
in the transfer stage is decreased. Because a noise charge 
mixed with the signal charge at the input stage is also 
decreased by this decrease for signal charge, S/N ratio is not 
decreased.

IPC: B60N2/00
Filed: 1986-03-05
Abstract: The body (1) of a vehicle has a floor and two sides, with 
a body longitudinal center line (L1) being defined midway be­
tween these two sides. A driver's seat (4) is fixed to the floor 
on one side of this body longitudinal center line, and a front pas­
senger's seat (5) is fixed to the floor on the other side thereof. 
The approximate center (L3) of the driver's seat (4) lies sub­
stantially closer to this body longitudinal center line (L1) than 
does the approximate center (L4) of the front passenger's seat 
(5). Thereby, more room is obtained for the driver, at the ex­
pense of somewhat diminishing the room available for the front 
passenger. Further, it becomes possible for the driver's seat (4) 
directly to oppose the control pedals (6, 7, 8), without any 
slanting sitting attitude being required from the driver. Option­
ally, a hand brake lever (10) and/or a transmission shift lever (9) 
may be fitted approximatey on the central line between the 
driver's seat and the front passenger seat, and further optional­
ly the central point between the inner ends of the sun visors 
(12, 13) for the driver and the front passenger may also lie ap­
proximately on the seat center line, at which seat center line 
further, optionally, the rear view mirror (11) may be positioned. 
Thereby, the essential asymmetry of this passenger compart­
ment arrangement may be effectively concealed from the be­
holder.

Patent EP-0242902-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01C7/102
Filed: 1987-03-24
Abstract: A threshold switching device for protecting an 
electrical circuit from an overvoltage comprises a 
switching element formed from a chalcogenide glass and 
a pair of electrodes that are in contact with the com­
position. When the circuit experiences an overvoltage 
transient, the switching element will switch to its low 
resistance state to pass the electrical current to 
ground and then revert to its high resistance state.  
     The switching element includes an indium layer or 
an indium containing layer between the switching ele­
ment and at least one, preferably both electrodes. The 
presence of the indium layers improves the adhesion of 
the electrodes and/or reduces the electrical contact 
resistance between the chalcogenide glass and the 
electrodes and thereby increases the amount of electri­
cal energy that may be passed through the device during 
a voltage transient before the device latches in its 
low resistance state.
