Patent EP-1056074-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRADSHAW ALEX
IPC: G11B7/09
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: Two sum output signals from two sets of the photodetector
elements located symmetrically each other with respect to a
light-receiving center of the photodetector of the optical
pickup are amplified individually by two amplifiers. A focus
error signal is generated in accordance with a difference
between respective output levels of the two amplified signals.
The gains of the two amplifiers are adjusted in accordance with
the focus error signal. A predetermined bias voltage is applied
to the focus error signal line in the focus servo control means
in accordance with the focus error signal.

IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: A frame synchronizer for use in a receiver that receives an encoded signal
from a transmitter includes a conjugation unit, a delay unit and multiplier coupled
together to process the encoded signal. The multiplier multiplies either the received
encoded signal by a conjugated, delayed version of the received encoded signal or
multiplies a conjugated version of the received encoded signal by a delayed version
of the received encoded signal to produce a first product signal. A further multiplier
multiplies the first product signal with a locally-stored signal to generate a second
product signal. An accumulator accumulates the second product signal over a
plurality of bit times to generate an accumulated signal having a magnitude
representing a time synchronization offset between the receiver and the transmitter
and phase representing a frequency synchronization offset between the receiver and
the transmitter. A synchronization correction unit generates a time offset correction
and a frequency offset correction from the accumulated signal and these corrections
are used to correct offsets between the receiver and the transmitter.

Abstract: A 4-line type helical antenna with a simple structure, which can obtain uniform
antenna gain even at a low elevation angle and has a radiation pattern which is not
affected even when the antenna is mounted on the chassis of an automobile. The helical
antenna comprises a circular cone (14), at least a surface of which is made of a metal,
interposed between an antenna body (11), for transmitting and receiving radio waves to/from
a satellite and a satellite terminal for transmitting and receiving the radio waves to/from the
antenna body (11). The circular cone (14), reflects the radio waves of the antenna body
(11). The antenna body (11) has antenna conductors (13), which are spirally formed
thereon, and the circular cone (14), is tapered at a given angle so as to uniformly reflect
the radio waves of the antenna body (11). The circular cone (14), is fixed to one end of
the antenna body (11), such that the tapered angle of the circular cone (14), should be
uniformly allocated with respect to an axis of the antenna body (11).

Abstract: This invention relates to support garments which comprise opaque heat-moldable
circular knit fabrics having relatively high amounts of spandex material as
well as sufficient amounts of other fibers to simultaneously provide maximum support
and maximum comfort to a wearer and which can be easily molded to the
specifications of a wearer's body dimensions. Such high-spandex content, moldable
garment fabrics are novel to the industry since the permissible added amount of
spandex within such fabrics has been limited due to the power, modulus strength, and
elongation of such fibers. Furthermore, the ability to provide moldable, high-spandex
circular knit fabrics has been limited, if not impossible, due to the above-noted
characteristics of the spandex fibers themselves. Thus, the incorporation of such
moldable fabrics within certain support garments (such as brassieres, girdles, medical
braces, athletic supporters, and the like) has been unsuccessful in the past. The
inventive moldable fabrics and garments provide such desirable spandex properties
while also increasing the comfortability to the wearer. The method of producing such
fabrics is also contemplated within this invention.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding a picture with improved
prediction accuracy in predicting the basic quantization step.
The apparatus for encoding a picture includes a picture data
storage unit, a picture information evaluating unit, an inter-picture
correlation detection unit, an orthogonal transform unit
for orthogonally transforming the picture data for generating
orthogonal transform coefficients, a quantization unit for
quantizing the orthogonal transform coefficients produced by the
orthogonal transform unit at a pre-set quantization step, an
adaptive compression method selection unit and a quantization
step control unit. The information quantity is evaluated from
stored picture data of plural pictures, and the inter-picture
correlation is detected. A picture data compression method is
adaptively selected based upon the evaluated value of the
information quantity and the inter-picture correlation
information. The basic quantization step is predicted from the
evaluated value and a pre-set compressed data quantity obtained
on compressing one-picture picture data by the selected
compression method and the evaluated value.

Abstract: A fluid level detector according to the invention comprises a substrate formed
of a heat-insulative material and one or more thermoresistive sensor elements located
on the substrate that is adapted to be immersed in a fluid. A current source is connected
to the sensor element for producing a current through the sensor element during
a predetermined time period. The current heats the sensor element and causes a
change in voltage across the sensor element at least during the time period. The amount
of change in voltage during the time period is reflective of the fluid level, since the fluid
serves as a heat sink for the sensor element. The voltage is measured across the sensor
element and a voltage slope is determined. The determined voltage slope is indicative of
fluid level.

Abstract: A sensor structure is disclosed in which a metallic terminal member does not
require special heating-member holder means and which can be easily assembled. 
     A metallic terminal member 23 includes press portions 23d and 23e, which
press the heating member 3 in a direction intersecting the center axis of a hollow
portion 2a of an oxygen detection element 2. Holding means for holding the heating
member 3 is formed separately from the metallic terminal member 23. Thus, without
use of special heating-member holder means, the metallic terminal member 23 can
bring at least a portion of the heating member 3 into contact with the inner wall
surface of the hollow portion 2a of the oxygen detection element 2. Further, there is
no need for a jig for preliminarily attaching the heating member 3 to the metallic
terminal member 23, thereby reducing cost.

vary along the length of the parabolic reflector, such
that energy striking the reflector at different points
along the reflector's length is directed to a
plurality of different points along the wafer's edge
(84 to 89). A second embodiment comprises a simple
parabolic reflector having a width greater than that
of the wafer and a preferred length less than the
diameter of the wafer, and which is provided to focus
at a cord along the wafer's surface, effectively
focusing cleaning energy on two points along the
wafer's edge at any given time. Another embodiment
comprises a paraboloid reflector having a width
greater than that of the wafer and a preferred length
which is substantially less than the diameter of the
wafer and which is shaped to focus all collected
energy to a single point on the wafer's edge.
Multiple such reflectors may be positioned in the
cleaning tank to optimize energy usage and wafer
cleaning.
