Patent EP-1544791-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CAMPAGNA MATTHEW J
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2004-12-15
Abstract: A method and system for selecting a characterising algorithm to be used to
characterize blocks of printed material. A digital image of printed material, such as an
address block, on an object is obtained, and the image is processed to abstract
characterizing information descriptive aspects of the other printed material. The
characterizing information is combined with other information, such as postal
information, and the combined information is then cryptographically authenticated with a
digital signature or the like, An indicium representative of the authenticated information
is then printed on the object. The object's relationship to the indicium can be verified by
regenerating the characterizing information from the other printed material and
comparing the regenerated characterizing information with characterizing information
recovered from the indicium. Thus copies of the indicium cannot easily be used, without
detection, on other objects which do not include the other printed material, A particular
algorithm is selected from a predetermined group of characterizing algorithms by
determining an estimate for the robustness of each algorithm with respect to small
changes in the image caused by the printing and scanning process or by defacing of the
printed address by blots or the like.

Inventor: NAGASHIMA NORITAKE
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2004-02-18
Abstract: A numerical controller making it easy to prepare and alter sequence
programs. Grouping is made according to signal type and/or signal address.
Address tables AT1-1, AT2-2 are provided in which top physical addresses for
respective group numbers are stored for every sequence program. The
program includes object codes, each constituted by an instruction code, a group
number, and an offset address. When the object code is read in, a top physical
address for the instruction group number is read out from a table corresponding
to the program. The offset address is added to the top physical address to
determine a physical address of a signal and perform processing for the
instruction code. Since the address tables are provided for every program to
have different physical addresses, it is enough to prepare only one program for
a common portion of a plurality of programs, and enough to alter only the
address tables even if hardware is subject to alteration.

Abstract: A main clutch (50) is disposed radially outward on a differential mechanism (20). There is no need
to reserve space to install the main clutch (50) at the end of the differential mechanism (20) opposite from a
differential case (21). Thus, the axial length of a drive force transmission device (10) can be reduced, providing easier installation in
the vehicle. Also, the drive force transmission device (10) is installed in the vehicle to the rear of a transmission. This location
provides spatial leeway in the radial direction. As a result, ease of installation is maintained if the
main clutch (50) is disposed radially outward from the differential mechanism (20) and the outer diameter
of the drive force transmission device (10) is increased. This provides a drive force transmission device (10) with
reduced axial length, thereby improving ease of installation.
