Abstract: A drive system control method and a drive power transmission control
system for a four-wheel drive vehicle are provided for enabling the vehicle to
operate selectively in an ordinary mode and an anti-vibration mode. In the ordinary
mode, the connection force of a coupling device which is provided between front and
rear wheel torque transmission axles is kept relatively high, and the front and rear
wheel torque transmission axles are brought to connect prime drive wheels with
secondary drive wheels, so that four-wheel drive traveling of the vehicle can be
realized. The operation mode of the vehicle is switched from the ordinary mode to
the anti-vibration mode where the secondary drive wheels slip when the vehicle
begins to start in the ordinary mode. In the anti-vibration mode, the connection force
of the coupling device is relatively weakened to substantially separate the front and
rear wheel torque transmission axles from each other. Thus, the resilient force
produced by the torsion of the front and rear wheel torque transmission axles which
is caused by the slip of the prime drive wheels or the secondary drive wheels is
released between the front and rear wheel torque transmission axles, so that the
vibration which would otherwise be generated when the vehicle performs the
four-wheel drive starting can be suppressed compared with that in the prior art.

Abstract: There is described a method of obtaining a depth
map from a single digital image of a three-dimensional
scene containing geometric objects. It envisages the
identification in the image of at least one horizontal
plane or one vertical plane of the three-dimensional
scene and the assignment to every point of the image
forming part of the identified plane, or to each one of
the identified planes, of a depth level according to its
distance from, respectively, a predetermined horizontal
or vertical reference straight of the image. In
particular, the identification of at least one plane
comprises the identification in the image of at least
two vanishing lines corresponding to two parallel lines
in the plane and the assignment of a depth level is made
in accordance with the angular coefficients of the
identified vanishing lines. 
     Also described is a completely automatic method for
obtaining a depth map from a single digital image of any
three-dimensional scene.

IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: Quantity and pressure (PG) of gases supplied is controlled statically or dynamically as a function of the actual pressure (Pt) and/or materials properties in the individual gasification planes (I; II; III) : A processor-controlled valve ensures the supply pressure overcomes the actual local pressure in the plane. Local pressure and temperature are measured by sensors, to adjust relevant state values of gas- and process parameters, e.g. stirring speed. Measurements are taken by a common sensor in the respective plane. Pressures and masses of gas supplied are measured by instruments. Pressure is measured at the gasification planes, at constant or variable contents level. Various flows are introduced separately at different planes through channels in the stirrer, or fixed lines are employed. Introduction is throttled and/or passes through gasification bodies (e.g. porous ceramic). Pressure reduction (throttling) is achieved by e.g. valves, orifice plates, dampers or the design of gasification bodies. Porous, i.e. sintered material is employed for gasification. An independent claim is included for corresponding equipment.

Abstract: An occupant restraint system (10) comprises a first
sensor unit which detects a state of wearing a seatbelt system second sensor
unit detects a state of operating the seatbelt system (2). A controller (1)
performs a control to change a time range to determine activation and deployment
of occupant restraint equipment (11-13) upon a vehicle collision in accordance with
signals from the first sensor unit and the second sensor unit. In the occupant
restraint system, when a state detected by the first sensor unit is a state of not
wearing the seatbelt system, the controller performs a control to set a mode to a
stopping mode which has a time range to determine the activation and deployment
of the occupant restraint equipment upon a vehicle collision. When a state
detected by the first sensor unit is a state of wearing the seatbelt system and a
state detected by the second sensor unit is a state of operating the seatbelt system,
the controller performs a control to set the mode to an operating mode which has a
smaller time range to determine the activation and deployment of the occupant
restraint equipment upon a vehicle collision than that in the state of not wearing
the seatbelt system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for staggercasting includes encoding a first signal representing content having a time duration and a second signal also representing that content. A time delay period is specified for the time duration of the content. A composite signal, comprising the first and second encoded signals, is generated. In the composite signal the first encoded signal is delayed with respect to the second encoded signal by the time delay period for the time duration of the content. If an error is detected in the composite signal, then the received second encoded signal is decoded to produce the content, otherwise the delayed received first encoded signal is decoded to produce the content.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité de disque optique comportant un moteur de positionnement de lentille (24) permettant de commander la position d'une lentille par rapport à une piste sur un disque (10), et un deuxième moteur (25) (actionnant un support coulissant) permettant de commander la position du premier moteur et de la lentille radialement par rapport au disque. Un signal alternatif est généré (56) et appliqué au moteur de positionnement de lentille afin de moduler la commande de ce dernier. Ainsi, la boucle d'asservissement commandant le moteur de positionnement de lentille peut présenter une largeur de bande supérieure et donc une rapidité de réaction accrue lors d'une recherche approximative ou au moment de l'initialisation. Par exemple, lorsque le circuit de commande commandant le premier moteur possède un filtre passe-bas (65) à fréquence de coupure, cette dernière peut être sélectionnée en fonction de la fréquence du signal alternatif.

Abstract: The invention provides a control apparatus comprising a controller
for determining a manipulated variable for manipulating a controlled object
so that an output of the controlled object converges to a desired value and a
modulator for modulating the manipulated variable by using one of a
delta-sigma modulation algorithm, a sigma-delta modulation algorithm and
a delta modulation algorithm to generate a modulated signal to be applied
to the controlled object. The modulator generates the modulated signal so
that a center value of an amplitude of the modulated signal follows a
change of the manipulated variable. Thus, the modulated signal in which
the manipulated variable is reflected without any loss can be generated
even when the manipulated variable changes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling a closing

current position X 0  of the exhaust valve (11) and a rotation speed Ne of the
internal combustion engine are determined, and on the basis of the current
position X 0  and rotation speed Ne, a time T 0  at which a piston arrives at the
current position X 0  of the exhaust valve (11) is calculated. The closing
operation of the exhaust valve (11) is then started before this arrival time T 0 .
Next, a time T 1  at which the gap between the exhaust valve (11) and piston
reaches a first predetermined value hc1 is calculated, and when this time T 1 
arrives, the closing operation of the exhaust valve (11) is stopped
temporarily. A time T 2  at which the piston arrives at the stopping position
X 1  of the exhaust valve (11) is then calculated, and the closing operation of
the exhaust valve (11) is resumed before this arrival time T 2 .
