Patent EP-0324136-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MORGENSTERN JURGEN PROF DR
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 1988-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic device for inductively measuring attitude. A known device of this type provides coils (1,2,3) wound around a ferrite core cross, to which an alternating voltage is to be applied. The magnetic fields are inductively detected at a limited distance by means of measuring probes. Changes in direction between the probes of the receiver and of the transmitter have a highly distorting effect on the measurement result. The invention eliminates both the disadvantage of the measuring distance only being short and the disadvantage of the superposition of noise voltages in the case of changes in direction by means of the fact that the probe, having several winding axes (4,5,6) has turns diameters of the coils which are greater with a greater distance from the centre of the probe than with a shorter distance from the centre (7). This provides the possibility of filling out the entire probe volume with turns. Surprisingly, an almost complete independence of the direction of the probes with respect to one another is found in distance measurements.

Abstract: The invention is generally directed to a selective power gating device for providing power from a power supply to an electrical device adapted to receive at least two levels of power. A detection mechanism coupled to the electrical device determines a selected portion of the electrical device which requires a higher level of power. A power gating mechanism coupled to the detection mechanism and the power supply supplies a higher level of power to the selected portion and a lower level of power to a remaining portion of the electrical device. As a result, the overall power and heat generated by the electrical device is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The suspension system has a base (12), mountable to the floor of a vehicle, and a frame (16) above the base (12). The base (12) and frame (16) are coupled by a linkage (14, 15), for example two, spaced pairs of crossed links (14, 15). A mechanical spring (32), preferably in the form of a torsion bar (34), is mounted in one of the base (12) and frame (16). A lever (52) is coupled to the spring means (32). A roller assembly (56) mounted in the links (15) is movable along the lever arm (52) to vary its length and to act as a fulcrum. The lever (52) has a cam lobe (54) so that movement of the roller assembly (56) arcuately moves the torsion bar (34) to preload same, as the length of the lever arm (52) is altered. Varying the length of the lever arm (52) and the preloading of the spring (34) responsive to differing occupant's weights maintains constant natural frequency and centers the suspension system in the ride zone.

Abstract: A lead frame transfer device having a pair of guides (4, 5, 6) and a transfer mechanism (43). At least one of the guides has a first guide rail (4) adapted for moving in the widthwise direction of a lead frame, a second guide rail (6) which is biased by a biasing mechanism (7) to cause the second guide rail toward the first guide rail to the widthwise direction of the lead frame so that the position of the second guide rail with respect to the first guide rail can be varied. Depending upon the widthwise size of a lead frame, the first guide rail of the guide is moved in the widthwise direction of the lead frame by a driving unit. In response to the movement of the first guide rail, the second guide rail is moved concurrently under the force of a biasing mechanism (7) and the lead frame can be hold at a predetermined position under the pressure of the biasing mechanism.

Abstract: Deflection circuit for television tube. In a deflection circuit for a television tube, which comprises a horizontal generator (16) and a vertical generator (2) for controlling a horizontal (17) and vertical deflection coil (1), respectively, the horizontal generator (16) is intended to generate a symmetric output current. According to the invention, the vertical deflection coil (1) is supplied both with the output current (iv) of the vertical generator (2) and with a correction current (ik) obtained from the output current (ih) of the horizontal generator (16). In this arrangement, the correction current (ik) is at times directed oppositely to the output current (iv). A symmetric deflection requires a lower electrical power than a sawtooth deflection and is appropriate, particularly in the case of large, high-intensity picture tubes. The circuit according to the invention achieves a uniform line spacing with symmetric deflection.

Abstract: For multicolour marking of identity cards and the like, the multilayer identity card is provided with an outer coloured layer in a first colour and an inner coloured layer in a second colour. While the outer coloured layer absorbs virtually none of the laser light used for marking, the second, inner coloured layer absorbs the laser light. This causes the material in the second coloured layer to be thermally degraded, i.e. evaporated, sublimed or subjected to a chemical or physical reaction, during the marking operation, with the consequence that formation of pressure causes the first layer to be broken up into particles, causing the second coloured layer to become visible. The second coloured layer may also be replaced by a transparent coat of varnish having appropriate properties in order to expose, for example, a multicolour security printed image under this transparent coat of varnish.

Abstract: An information storage system records on a medium with a magneto-optical storage layer (30) and a ferrimagnetic control layer. A higher power write beam is used to impose an upward magnetic orientation and a lower power write beam is used to impose a downward magnetic orientation in the domain. The control layer (50) has an initial downward magnetic orientation, the magnetization of regions of the control layer (50) can be inverted to an upward orientation temporarily while the region is heated above a compensation temperature. The magnetization of the region is restored to its initial downward orientation upon restoration of ambient temperature since neither the higher power nor the lower power write beam heats the control layer to its Curie temperature. The distributed optical and thermal properties of the medium are selected so that, upon heating of the medium by dissipated laser energy, the peak temperature of the control layer (50) occurs after the peak temperature for the storage layer (30). When the higher power write beam is used, the domain cools through its Curie temperature before the corresponding region cools through its compensation temperatures so that an upward magnetic orientation is established in the domain. When the lower power write beam is used, the domain cools through its Curie temperature after the corresponding region cools through its compensation temperature so that a downward magnetic orientation is established in the domain.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device and a process for judging a contour of a road by processing data of an image taken of the road by a camera. In the data processing, Hough transform is used to obtain a plurality of straight lines approximate to the edges of the road. In order to recognize a contour of a road, it is most important to recognize the edges of the road. For the recognition of a road, for example, an image taken of the road is divided into upper and lower regions (A2,A1). In the lower region, two straight lines (g2,g1) are given approximate to the right and the left edges of the road. In the upper region as well, two straight lines (g4,g3) are given approximate to the right and the left edges of the road. Then, positional relationships between the intersection of the former two straight lines and that of the latter two straight lines are determined. Based on the positional relationships, it can be judged very easily whether the road is straight, curves, inclines or declines.

Abstract: A brazing method of joining a first metal member at an end portion thereof having a predetermined length to a second metal member formed with a bore having a straight portion and a tapered portion extending from the axially outer end of the straight portion and flaring axially outward. The first member is in a position between a horizontal position and a position inclined at 45 dgrees with a horizontal plane, the posi­tion of the first member including the horizontal posi­tion but not including the inclined position at 45 degrees. The two members are joined by brazing with the end portion of the first member inserted in the bore straight portion of the second member through the tapered portion and with a brazing material placed around the first member axially outside the tapered portion. When melted for brazing, the brazing material flows axially inward as if it is drawn into the bore tapered portion of the second member around the first member end portion posi­tioned within the tapered portion, and further flows into and is retained in the bore straight portion around the first member end portion positioned in the straight portion, whereby the molten brazing material is prevented from flowing down.
