Patent EP-0731466-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMICHI NIRO
IPC: G11B17/22
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: A disk transport mechanism for a disk player employs a fixed disk guide to support one edge of a disk and a drive-side disk guide, with a revolving belt, to support and drive an opposite edge of the disk. The disk is held between the fixed and drive-side disk guides to press the revolving belt against the disk edge causing the disk to roll along the fixed disk guide. The disk is positioned by registering its position using an engaging flap near an insertion aperture. Eject, playback, and storage positions are established by cumulating pulses from an encoder, connected to the belt drive, as the belt moves from a registration position to the target position. The fixed and drive-side disk guides are movably supported on a chassis and urged together by a spring. The guides have sufficient range of movement to accommodate 80 and 120 mm disks. The revolving belt is supported by a wall that prevents the belt from bowing under the force of the disk edge. Because the belt follows a linear path, the disk center follows a linear path. In addition, the disk center position is a linear function of displacement of the encoder. This makes design of the positioning logic simpler and therefore storable in a smaller memory. In addition, the present invention makes positioning reliable since the variable stretch properties of the belt do not have to be considered.

Abstract: Containers used to collect suction-extracted secretions from the mouth, breath or wounds are cleaned and disinfected by placing in a flushing machine while still closed and in a position where the contents cannot run out. The machine is closed, and at the same time, the container is tilted into a position where the contents can run out through gravity. The container is opened by generating an overpressure within it to force the cover off. The container and cover are then washed and disinfected. The container holder (3) has one position where the container (4) is held so that the contents cannot escape, and a second position where the container (4) is tiled so that its contents can escape by gravity. The container has a connection (6), linked to a tube (11), to create an overpressure within the container (4) displace the cover (5).

Abstract: A method of automatically generating feature probabilities that allow later automatic generation of document extracts. The computer system generates the probabilities by analyzing each document a document at a time. First, the computer system designates one of the documents as a selected document. Next, the computer system analyzes each sentence of the selected document to determine the value of the paragraph feature and the value of the uppercase feature. The computer system repeats this effort for each document of the document corpus. Afterward, the number of occurrences of each value of each feature is calculated and is used to calculate feature value probabilities for all of the features.

Abstract: A computer having a cache is disclosed. The computer includes an n-way associative cache 40 including a set. The set includes n blocks 25, each of the n blocks 25 including a DATA field for storing a data element and a TAG field for storing a partial tag associated with the data element. The computer also includes a cache manager configured to prevent two address locations in the set to have identical partial tags. During operation, an execution unit of the computer may initiate a cache access for an address location. If a cache hit occurs, the address location is accessed from the cache. 
     On the other hand, if a cache miss occurs, the main memory is accessed and the address location is provided to both the execution unit that requested the address location and the cache. The cache manager, which is logically located between the main memory and the cache, implements a cache replacement policy. In the event the partial tag of the fetched address location does not match one of the partial tags of the address locations stored in the indexed set, a replacement element in the cache manager selects for replacement a data element in the set in accordance with a well known cache replacement policy. On the other hand, in the event of a partial tag match, the replacement element in the cache manager replaces the address location with the matching tag with the fetched address location. In this manner, it is not possible for two address locations with the same partial tags to exist in the set of the cache. The possibility of two partial tag/key hits occurring with a single cache access and the need for R bits is therefore eliminated.

Abstract: In the process of producing a high-purity gold alloy,
(1) trace elements are added and (2) heat treatment is
performed, so that the hardness is increased to a level
approximately equivalent to that of 18-karat gold at
relatively low working ratio, thereby eliminating the
drawbacks associated with high-purity gold, that is,
improving the workability, heat resistance, flaw
resistance, durability, etc. 
     A high-purity gold alloy according to the present
invention can be hardened to a level approximately
equivalent to that of 18-karat gold at relatively low
working ratio, and the high-purity gold alloy thus hardened
is not extremely softened by heat treatment performed as
a post-treatment, such as brazing or welding. Even a cast
article which is not subjected to plastic working has a
hardness comparable to that of a hardened article which has
been subjected to plastic working.

Abstract: A controller for controlling a laser marking machine, which
classifies a divided image into a non-printing region (H row) and
a printing region ("APPER"). When the non-printing region is
displayed on a liquid crystal display screen, the printing
pattern ("APPER") is displayed on the liquid crystal screen so
that scanning on the liquid crystal display screen is started by
scanning means from the printing region continuing the non-printing
region by omitting this non-printing region (H row) when
it is in an upper region for which scanning is first made. Moving
means corrects the moving distance of the printing position of
the printing pattern by the distance corresponding to the non-printing
region (H row) so omitted, and starts movement to the
marking position of the next divided image (B'3) when scanning
of the printing region of this divided image (B'2) is finished.
According to this construction, the reduction of the marking time
and the restriction of the occurrence of non-uniform printing can
be simultaneously accomplished.

Abstract: An image processing system for sample rate conversion of an image signal representing an image of pixels from a first sample rate to a second sample rate includes: an image acquisition device for acquiring the image signal from an image signal source at the first sample rate; a first memory for buffering the input signal; a second memory for storing predetermined discrete cosine transform coefficients; a dot product multiplier for multiplying the image signal retrieved from the first memory times the predetermined coefficients to produce an output signal at the second sampling rate; a third memory for buffering the output signal; control sequencer logic for controlling operation of the image processing system; and an output device for providing a resampled image at the second sampling rate from the output signal. The image processing system facilitates sample rate conversion by segmenting the image into segments of image data points wherein a separate and different offset is determined for each segment. A discrete cosine transform is performed on each segment of image data points to generate corresponding DCT coefficients. Thereafter, resampled image data points are generated by taking a modified IDCT of the DCT coefficients using a modified IDCT basis matrix which is dependent upon a sampling rate conversion ratio and/or an offset.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de pilotage de la bobine d'excitation d'une pompe à piston alternatif et à commande électromagnétique utilisée comme injecteur de carburant. La bobine d'excitation est excitée par des impulsions de haute fréquence générées par un circuit de commande du courant et chaque impulsion fait se déplacer de manière saccadée un induit entraîné par la bobine d'excitation.
