Abstract: A picture size conversion method (and device) is provided to avoid
deterioration of picture display quality such as a blur and distortion,
especially with respect to motion pictures which are displayed in accordance
with an interlaced display method. Herein, a size conversion table (121)
storing display flags is created in accordance with a reduction ratio,
wherein each of the display flags represents a decision whether to allow
display with respect to each of horizontal lines. At first, the method
discriminates whether the reduction ratio (R) belongs to a first range
(0<R<1/2) or a second range (1/2≦R<1), while the method also
discriminates whether each of horizontal lines belongs to an even-numbered
field or an odd-numbered field within one frame. In the case of the first
range of the reduction ratio, the method thins out all of horizontal lines
belonging to the even-numbered field while selectively thinning out
horizontal lines belonging to the odd-numbered field with reference to the
size conversion table. In the case of the second range of the reduction ratio,
the method does not at all thin out the horizontal lines of the even-numbered
field while selectively thinning out the horizontal lines of the
odd-numbered field with reference to the size conversion table. Thus,
original pictures can be converted (or reduced) in sizes in different ways in
response to the first range and second range of the reduction ratio
respectively.

Abstract: Combustion noises of the respective cylinders (1, 2,
3, 4) of the engine (10) are detected by a combustion
noise sensor (15). An electronic control unit (ECU) (20)
performs pilot fuel injections prior to main fuel
injections to the respective cylinders through fuel
injection valves (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) and adjusts the
pilot fuel injection amounts of the respective cylinders
so that the combustion noises of the respective cylinders
detected by the combustion noise sensor (15) are reduced.
Further, the ECU (20) corrects the fuel injection amounts
of the respective cylinders in accordance with the pilot
fuel injection amounts of the respective cylinders in
such a manner that the sum of the fuel injection amount
and the pilot fuel injection amount becomes a same value
in each cylinder. Since the total amount of fuel
supplied to each cylinder becomes the same, the variation
of torque among the cylinders does not occur.

Abstract: An ink container (1, 51) has an ink-holding space (9a, 89)
maintained at substantially constant negative pressure until
the ink contained in the ink-holding space (9a, 89) has been
exhausted. The ink container (1, 51) includes a flexible wall
(3, 55) and an urging member (5, 59, 76). The flexible wall
(3, 55) forms a part of the ink-holding space (9a, 89) and the
outer surface of the flexible wall (3, 55) is exposed to the
atmospheric pressure. The urging member (5, 59, 76) takes the
form of, for example, a spring. The urging member (5, 59, 76)
is incorporated in the ink-holding space (9a, 89) and urges the
flexible wall (3, 55) outwardly of the ink-holding space (9a,
89). The atmospheric pressure is exerted on the flexible wall
(3, 55) so that the flexible wall (3, 55) is displaceable
inwardly of the ink-holding space (9a, 89) as the ink is supplied
from the ink-holding space (9a, 89) to an external device. The
urging member (5, 59, 76) operates substantially in a plastic
deformation region thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and method which overcomes connectivity limitations on PCMCIA and
PC-CARD95 compatible devices by reconfiguring standard PCMCIA and PC-CARD pins
for additional electrical interfaces. A detection circuit in the PC-card can detect the different
interfaces. Once the different interfaces are identified, the connections to the receptacles of
the PC-card connector are reconfigured such that the functional assignments of the receptacles
conform with the requirements of each different interface. Thus, connection between
different electrical interfaces to the physical interface of a PCMCIA-compatible device,
without interference between them is possible. This eliminates the need for extra connectors
other than the standard PCMCIA and PC-CARD95 connector. Thus, more versatile
products with enhanced connectivity may be designed which use the PCMCIA and
PC-CARD95 standards.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a join between two metallic members having a hollow cavity
therebetween is disclosed. The apparatus includes air injection means (50) and a tub
(40) of liquid. The air injection means (50) is configured for injecting air into a cavity
between members so that when they are immersed in the liquid, the generation of air
bubbles in the liquid indicates the presence of a hole in a join between members. The
apparatus is primarily intended for testing the weld joining two components used in a
device for counteracting the imbalance in a washing machine drum caused by the
uneven distribution of laundry during rotation.

Abstract: A wavelength demultiplexer having at least two photodetectors is disclosed.
The photodetectors are arranged in sequential layers along an optical path. The
photodetectors differ in bandgap, and are arranged so that the optical signal passes
through relatively larger bandgap photodetectors before being received by relatively
smaller bandgap detectors. Each photodetector absorbs photons within a
predetermined energy range and generates a voltage as a function of the absorbed
energy. The photodetectors can be used to detect, and hence demultiplex, a
wavelength-division-multiplexed signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and
apparatus for forming an interconnect with application
in small feature sizes (such as quarter micron widths)
having high aspect ratios. Generally, the present
invention provides a method and apparatus for
depositing a wetting layer (24) for subsequent physical
vapor deposition to fill the interconnect. In one
aspect of the invention, the wetting layer (24) is a metal
layer deposited using either CVD techniques or
electroplating, such as CVD aluminum (Al). The
wetting layer (24) is nucleated using an ultra-thin layer,
denoted as ε layer (22), as a nucleation layer (22). The ε
layer (22) is preferably comprised of a material such as
Ti, TiN, Al, Ti/TiN, Ta, TaN, Cu, a flush of TDMAT or
the like. The ε layer (22) may be deposited using PVD or
CVD techniques, preferably PVD techniques to improve
film quality and orientation within the feature.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, the ε layer (22) is not
continuous to nucleate the growth of the CVD wetting
layer (24) thereon. A PVD deposited metal (30) is then
deposited on the wetting layer (24) at low temperature to
fill the interconnect.

Abstract: Apparatus for therapeutic or cosmetic photo-treatment
comprises a flash lamp (13) and a lamp operating circuit. The
lamp is cooled by water in contact with the lamp which acts as
an infra-red filter to reduce skin burning. Light from the
lamp reaches the skin through a light guide (27) which has a
convex curved end to focus the light and to press away
haemoglobin in the target area or has a concave end to reduce
pressure on the skin depending on the desired treatment.
Relatively long and low power square shaped power pulses drive
the lamp to produce light output pulses adapted to the
relaxation time of the target structure to maximise the
heating of the target whilst minimising heating of the skin
surface. Target structures may be blood vessels or hair
follicles. Automatic detection of a glass filter (25) may be
provided.

Abstract: The machine consists of the main machine section (fig. 1) having a motor which
converts the rotary movement to reciprocal (back and forth) movement of adjustable
length, a sliding regulator (fig. 1) (8) which has a motor polarity alternating switch,
ensuring thus the carriage movement direction reversal, when they fall on the sliding
regulator switch (8). 
Special foldable footrests are placed on the carriages (fig. 1) (7) where the legs to
be exercised are attached. 
By mean of the end stops (12) and by assisting flexible springs, we activate the
special footrest for special exercises of the ankle. By using the foldable arm (fig. 3)
we transfer the movement from the carriages to the foldable handles which are
located on the adjustable pair of stanchions (fig. 2) in order to exercise the hands
and the nape. 
The special head supporting case (of small swing shape) assists in moving the head
to the left and right with a simultaneous slight lift (fig 6). 
Placing the pull brace on the carriages (fig. 5) and depending on the height of the
hands when we hold the handles, we exercise the waist and the spine making
movements to the left and right on an arctuate path, or making bends with
adjustable intensity and frequency.
